Netflix, as everyone knows by now, is very hit or miss when it comes to the movies they develop. For every Bird Box or Roma (review coming) there’s likely two or three of The Open House or Game Over, Man!. Though Altered Carbon was one of the better offerings by the network, and both Io and […]
I recently cut a reaction trailer for the recently released Captain Marvel: Special Look (2019), where in my somewhat meandering fashion, I discuss not only why I haven’t seen Aquaman but why I prefer superhero movies from Marvel Studios. Agree? Disagree? Let me know in the Down Below.
And I know bumblebees don’t sting, but work with me. According to Superherohype Paramount’s Bumblebee has overtaken Warner Bros. Aquaman in international markets. For reasons I’m not entirely sure Aquaman has been performing particularly well, outgrossing Justice League and Wonder Woman cumulatively. Which I find vexing. Part of the issue is that I’ve become accustomed […]
You ever wonder where money to finance movies comes from? I ask because a few days ago I saw a trailer for Attraction, an alien invasion thriller that was completed a year ago and very much looks like a Russian production I ask the question because every since the days of The Cannon Group I […]
2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick was a movie that betting person would have assumed was a sure thing. David Twohy was not only returning to direct–he helmed Pitch Black, the movie that propelled Vin Diesel to stardom–but the sequel would expand upon the ideas introduced in the first movie in new and interesting ways. And…it […]
Almost like clockwork as Christmas approaches there’s guaranteed to be a whole bunch of someones who make a list of Christmas movies, which will include John McTiernan’s Die Hard. Which is nonsense because Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie. Sure, the story takes place over the Christmas holiday, but how relevant is that to the […]
Most of the Transformers movies are drek (the first gets a pass because it was new and as viewers we had no idea what to expect) and how they went on to be the successes they ended up being–prior to the franchise running out of steam in it’s later chapters–is virtually beyond comprehension. I blame […]
Besides the title being a bit silly–after all the Men In Black includes aliens from OTHER WORLDS, for frak’s sake! Yet somehow we’re emphasizing it’s international nature!? Then there’s the product placement (memo to studio: If you’re seeing obnoxious product placement in the damn trailer it’s likely to be even more so in the movie, […]
The website for Lionsgate upcoming Hellboy reboot is live–the movie will be out April 12, 2019–and while there’s little in the way of new information there currently, there are a few posters you might be interested in downloading. Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, Doomsday, Lost In Space (2018)) is directing and I’m definitely interested–though not as […]
The tendency to allow things such as movie trailers to fall under copyrighted material on YouTube is really frustrating because by design a movie trailer is promotional and–in my opinion–becomes part of the public domain the minute they’re released. Which means it–or should–fall under the Fair Use Doctrine. That being said, what makes it even […]
