10 Cloverfield Lane – Official Trailer #1
original Cloverfield trailer Can we just accept that found footage movies, as a sub-genre, are for the most part indescribably lame (The Blair Witch Project gets a pass because it was the first, and who doesn’t like shiny new toys)? Most movies, especially genre-favorites like science fiction and horror (and increasingly dramas) require a suspension of belief […]
Postmortem: Catwoman (2004)
If you’re expecting me to say something to the effect that Pitof’s 2004 super hero movie Catwoman is some sort of lost classic then you’re definitely barking up the wrong tree…because it’s not. And while the buck usually stops with the director, I don’t think that that’s entirely fair in this case, mainly because the […]
Can We Stop With The ’67 Characters’ Nonsense?
Recently quite a few venues are running with the idea that the Russo brothers (Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the upcoming Captain America: Civil War) are going to have 67 characters in their upcoming two-parter. Avengers: Infinity War. This is, on the face of it, nonsensical because last time I checked Marvel Studios haven’t even introduced […]
Marvel’s Daredevil – Official Season Two Trailer
The first season of Marvel’s Daredevil had a huge hurdle to overcome. When Fox released the 2003 movie based on the character, he was treated pretty much as a red-suited Spider-Man, which anyone familiar to the character could tell you isn’t the way to go. In any case, the movie didn’t do badly from a financial standpoint, […]
Somehow Star Wars: The Force Awakens Hasn’t Made As Much As Avatar
Star Wars: The Force Awakens–I’m starting to warm up to that subtitle, at last–is approaching the box office of Avatar and I don’t understand it. What’s confused me is that I don’t understand how it is that Avatar was able to reach such box office heights in the first place. Let’s be honest, it’s not a […]
How StudioADI (Almost) Saved Alien: Resurrection
Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien: Resurrection, along with David Fincher’s Alien 3, are considered among many to be the worse movies in the Alien franchise.
Marvel’s Daredevil, Season 2 Pictures
When I heard that Fox had not only lost the rights to Marvel Comics’ Daredevil, but Marvel Television–not Marvel Studios–had relaunched the character in a 13-episode series on Netflix I have to admit that my interest was definitely piqued. (It’s worth mentioning that I’ve seen Fox’s version, and its biggest shortcoming was that the producers tried to make […]
Costumes Really, Really Matter
Being a huge comic geek can at times be a double-edged sword despite the fact that with Marvel Studios, DC Entertainment and others producing record amounts of superhero-based content. Part of the trepidation is due to the fact that studios aren’t catering exclusively to comic book readers, so they have produce movies with the non-comic reader […]
Deadpool Red Band Trailer – Trailer 2
I’m not particularly fond of how Fox has treated the Marvel properties (X-Men, Fantastic Four) that they have under their control. Though my feelings–and the clusterfuck that was the recent Fantastic Four movie notwithstanding–if box office receipts are any indication, most people approve of what they’re doing with the X-Men. Which brings me to the latest […]
