Off the top of my head, I think that I may have seen two Harry Potter movies, though the only one I remember is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (mainly because it was directed by Alfonso Cuarón, who did the remarkable Children of Men–one of those rare movies significantly better than the books that inspired them–more so than […]
I enjoyed J.J. Abrams’ interpretation of the Star Wars universe with The Force Awakens, but it felt too shiny, too clean. Now Rogue One feels like a Star Wars movie should. Or maybe it’s just seeing old school Star Destroyers and the original Death Star, though I think that it’s the grim tone, the grit and the […]
According to Comicbookmovie.com, the first trailer for Scott Derrickson’s (The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister, Deliver Us From Evil) upcoming Doctor Strange will be released this Tuesday! As you can tell from Derrickson’s resume, he’s really into horror movies. And that’s a good thing because there’s always the chance that not only will Doctor Strange be scarier and weirder than […]
I don’t mind video games from a first-person view, though since you’re actually playing, the conceit works and you’re engaged. In movies? Not so much, especially since what you can see and hear of the protagonist will look and hear nothing like a large percentage of the people who will be watching this movie. It […]
I have finally uploaded my Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice review and as I say, it’s not a terrible movie, though it’s not that good either.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice reviews have been filtering in for the last day or two, and while they’re not all terrible–after all, someone probably even liked Hitler’s paintings–they’re pretty disastrous considering that there are literally millions, if not potentially billions, riding on its success. I intend to catch it tomorrow, and will post a review as […]
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure why the Marvel series being produced for Netflix are so successful. After all, they’re working with characters that I wouldn’t exactly call ‘first-stringers.’ Though that’s not by any means to imply that they aren’t beloved to many people, only that they’re plenty of more popular superheroes that have […]
For awhile, despite my serious love for everything that was unfolding in Daredevil, I was wondering how they were going to manage to embrace the more fantastical aspects of the Marvel Universe. In the world that exists in Marvel Televised Universe, the heroes are much more grounded than they are in its cinematic brethren so […]
“Why didn’t you take off my mask?” –Daredevil “I don’t give a shit who you are.” –Frank Castle, aka the Punisher Those aren’t the words that begin the third episode of Daredevil’s Second season, though they might as well be because if there’s one thing that makes Frank Castle the most dangerous opponent Daredevil has ever […]
“Everytime I think we’ve seen it all, Hell’s Kitchen manages to sneak up and kick me right in the balls.” It’s apt that the first episode of Marvel’s Daredevil Second season is called ‘Bang’ because it almost literally begins with one. New York is experiencing record high temperatures and tempers are flaring along with the heat. […]
