Scott Derrickson is Directing Doctor Strange!

According to Variety, Scott Derrickson is directing Doctor Strange for Marvel Studios!  This is an awesome choice because, judging by some of the films that he has directed, like Sinister, Hellraiser: Inferno and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, to name a few, show that he has a grasp of the strange and unusual. A quality that’s a […]

‘Snowpiercer’ Official US Release Trailer 1

This trailer for Bong Joon Ho‘s Snowpiercer turned up on the Interwebs a few hours ago, and it’s interesting for what it doesn’t show more than watch it does. By which I mean, action is emphasized heavily in virtually every scene and very little else (though the actress whom I assume is Tilda Swinton with false […]

‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Trailer 2

I honestly don’t know what to make of this movie.  I am relatively sure that the structure will be similar to many movies that have come before, but if feels so odd…and I don’t necessarily mean in a bad way.  This time around James Gunn is giving use the goods.  We see both Groot (Vin […]

Is Sony Mismanaging The Spider-Man Franchise?

Part 1: Send In The B-Team Looking at Marvel today, it would be easy to assume that they have always been as successful as they are.  Though you’d be wrong because, before they were purchased by Disney, even before they launched their movie production arm, Marvel Studios, they were flirting with bankruptcy. To stop the […]

Ben Affleck As Batman!

Zach Snyder released this black & white image of Batman (Ben Affleck) today on Twitter.  It’s from the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman.  And it looks OK, and while I wish that Snyder had taken the photo less to depict a mood than to actually show us Batman and the Batmobile. That being said, I am […]

Postmortem: Prometheus (2012)

Ridley Scott, even when his films are sort of silly, like “Legend,” look absolutely remarkable.  He has an eye that manages to catch the smallest details, but his ear for nonsensical story beats is not quite so acute. For instance, while “Prometheus” was gorgeous to look at, but if you give it any sort of consideration, […]

‘Let’s Be Cops’ Trailer

I saw the trailer for “Let’s Be Cops” when I went to see “Oculus” last week and I really enjoyed it.  It stars Jake Johnson, from “The New Girl,” a television show that I happen to like (Yeah, I was surprised too) and Damon Wayans Jr. Johnson has this vaguely Jack Klugmanesque (in the role of […]

LEGO Captain America: The Winter Soldier

I don’t know who Antonio and Andrea Toscano are, though I do know a labor of love when I see one, and their Lego version of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is just that.  All the iconic moments from the trailer are there, lovingly reinterpreted in Legos. By way of comparison, here’s the original trailer.
