Let’s be clear: I think Disney+ is a terrible idea from a business perspective. They’re literally paying billions to establish a streaming service–keep in mind they already own Hulu–when sans the streaming network, they could be selling their content to whomever was willing to pay for it. And EVERYONE would be willing to pay for […]
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, MGM releases a trailer–a teaser, but still–for the TITLE of the upcoming James Bond movie. And that title is, No Time To Die and I don’t think it’s a particularly great one though what interests me more than the title is the font. It’s an interesting font […]
Underwater looks awfully like Deep Star Six and Leviathan in terms of subject matter. If you’re a fan of underwater horror–and who isn’t–then it’s probably going to be a good time. (unlike the two aforementioned movies, which worked only intermittently). There’s one thing that makes me optimistic. Namely Underwater is directed by William Eubank, who […]
I’ve finally got around to preparing a review of Aquaman and there’s a valid reason why it’s taken as long as it has: The DCEU is essentially a clusterfuck, managed by people that have never read a comic book in their lives, which genuinely bothers me. Despite having gotten in to comics initially with DC […]
I did not like Christoper McQuarrie’s Mission Impossible: Fallout (virtually) at all. It’s a well-directed movie, though I can’t separate it from Tom Cruise and his Scientology cult. It’s worth mentioning that literally every religion began as a cult, essentially a belief system with relatively few believers, so if I were to have an issue […]
The trailer of Godzilla: King Of The Monster dropped a week or so ago, and I can at least see the monsters–something you can’t necessarily say about the 2014 movie. It should go without saying but I. Want. To. See. The. Monsters. Why would I be remotely interested in these movies if not to see […]
The teaser for Terminator: Dark Fate dropped today and it looks better than the bulk of the past movies (beyond the first two) but even the return of Linda Hamilton can’t seem to elicit a pulse this time around. And since I’m in the mood for speculation, I suspect that the problem is that standards […]
And if there were a definition of the term “teaser trailer” in a text book I wouldn’t be shocked if it referred to the Batwoman teaser because this thing literally tells you nothing at all beyond the obvious. Which is fine since I don’t particularly care about any of the CW shows that I have […]
Ang Lee’s Gemini Man is, on the face of it, problematic. First off, on the face of it the plot of the movie seems AWFULLY similar plot-wise to 2012’s Looper. But that’s likely just a coincidence. After all, there’s relatively little that’s new under the sun. Though what’s potentially an bigger issue is that the […]
I’ll readily admit that movies like Hobbs & Shaw aren’t typically the types of movies I tend to see. Too many cars defying the laws of physics, too much exposition about people being “family” as opposed to people just acting as such. That being said I enjoyed the trailer because it rises or falls on […]
