What is it with Matt Damon and comments and/or activities of a racially-dubious nature? First there were the comments made during his and Ben Affleck’s HBO series–now cancelled–Project Greenlight, where Damon finds diversity okay, as long as it’s in its place. If I recall, that happened sometime last year (or earlier this year). Now Damon […]
Gotta admit, I like the logo though it’s especially good to see because for awhile there were members of the online community that were saying that a series based on Iron Fist wasn’t going to happen. That being said, Finn Jones? That’s not even that I think Jones is a bad actor–I’ve heard that he’s […]
I think that Warner Bros, possibly with the exception of the upcoming Suicide Squad is terribly mismanaging their DC Films relationship (and Yes, I include the upcoming Wonder Woman in that estimation as well)–like Fox is doing with the X-Men franchise, only less successfully. But Antoine Fuqua’s The Magnificent Seven? With Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt? Money […]
You have to give Daniel Radcliffe credit, the guy isn’t exactly playing it safe. From Swiss Army Man to Imperium, about a FBI agent infiltrating a no-Nazi group, it feels like he’s actually looking for challenging and off-beat roles. It’s a long way from Harry Potter, that much is obvious.
I like this trailer. Sure, it looks like a car crash between The Maze Runner, The Hunger Games movies with a liberal dollop of The Running Man but in its defense it revolves around actual adults, as opposed young adults, and stars Danny Glover and Alec Baldwin. Which is almost worth the cost of admission.
I like this trailer a lot. Partially because it has Toby Jones (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Barbarian Sound Studio-a movie to this day I don’t quite get. Texturally speaking, it reminds of Pontypool, which is a good thing, though I need to see it again) as well as an Ex Machina vibe, good things […]
As I mention in my latest video (below the text), the most recent trailer for Star Trek: Beyond (I don’t care that there’s no colon, I’m putting one in anyway) looks pretty interesting. There’s a lot going on–maybe even a bit too much because from a narrative standpoint I have no idea why things are happening […]
If you haven’t seen the trailer for Gavin O’Connor’s (Warrior) The Accountant, it revolves around Christian Wolfe (Ben Affleck) who’s a savant that if the flashbacks are any indication, and ranks relatively high on the autism scale. And it looks like an interesting idea for a movie, that is if you haven’t seen 2014’s The […]
Jon Amiel’s The Core wasn’t a success at the time, which is a pity because it’s pretty engaging. It plays very much in Irwin Allen wheelhouse, except on a greater scale. What’s also important is that Amiel brings a humanity to his characters typically missing from such movies, so despite a pretty ample amount of […]
The Cell isn’t the first feature that John Cusack and Sam Jackson appeared in that’s based on a Steven King novel or short story. That honor would have to go to 1408, which came out in 2007; though unlike their last effort–which revolved around a haunted hotel room, which is more in the vein of The Shining–the […]
