This morning a teaser trailer Zach Snyder’s Batman v Superman was released, and…meh. After all, it’s a teaser trailer, which is little more than a few carefully chosen shots from the upcoming movie seemingly designed to drum up interest. It seems that Warner Bros/ DC Entertainment are taking a somewhat novel approach (‘novel’ in the […]
Is it a little odd that seeing the trailer for Captain Underpants I really have an urge to read the books it’s based on? In any case, with voice acting by Kevin Hart, Nick Kroll and Ed Helms the cast is pretty spectacular though with Kroll as (apparently) the villain of the piece it comes off a […]
I understand that Marvel Television in its ‘street-level’ heroes tends to seek a more grounded, realistic esthetic than those typically employed by Marvel Studios. That probably has a lot to do with why of all the Defenders only one, Daredevil, has a costume (which is more in the vein of tactical armor than a costume, […]
This is a fascinating trailer (and probably more interesting than any trailer has any right to be), so let’s start at the beginning. First off, take a gander at this. Why are they wearing these masks? It certainly isn’t for reasons of protecting against the introduction of bacteria because they have so many large holes […]
Davis Ayer’s Bright is a fascinating movie for numerous reasons. The first being that it was directed by Ayer himself, off the box office success of Suicide Squad. Next is that it was written by Max Landis, son of John Landis and a in-demand writer. Though what’s most interesting is that it’s being financed to the […]
I really, really like this recently released clip from Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant because it seems–with good reason–to assume that most viewers are already familiar with the xenomorphs and instead spends its time developing the human characters. And there’s more character development in the just over four minute scene than in some entire movies, which […]
I find Bryan Singer’s The Usual Suspects an irritating movie mainly because it’s not really as smart or as clever as it like to think that it is. Which is probably why I’m surprised to find that I really enjoyed this trailer from the sequel. And Stephen Colbert in the role made famous by Kevin […]
Some fan sites have speculated that Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones, X-Men: Days of Future Past) would appear as M.O.D.O.K, which stands for Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing in Marvel Studios’ upcoming Avengers: Infinity War (though I get the feeling the people who are making this suggestion are not only unaware who M.O.D.O.K is, but how […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ben Affleck will no longer be directing the tentatively titled The Batman for Warner Bros, though he still intends to star (and probably write with Geoff Johns) the upcoming feature. Part of me wonders if Affleck’s change of heart has anything to do with his latest feature, Live By Night […]
Apparently Erik Estrada (who played Officer Frank Poncherello in the 1977 series CHiPs, which stands for California Highway Patrol) is none too happy about Dax Shepard‘s reinterpretation of the show he co-headlined with Larry Wilcox. The truth of it is that I have no idea if Estrada has even seen the movie–though he mentioned about […]
