Here’s the Ant-Man teaser trailer, embiggened for human viewing (though there’s not that much to see other than a few shots of Paul Rudd and various locations and situations, such as a fight and Rudd being escorted by two military types). That being said, Payton Reed‘s take looks looks gorgeous and very cinematic. It’s early days […]
Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) may have “a particular set of skills,” that have been parodied on various shows, such as Family Guy, but it seems to me that some very important questions aren’t being asked, such as: If Mills and his particular set of skills were so effective, why is it that there will be […]
“I, Frankenstein. At Least It’s Not Van Helsing.” That’s pretty weak praise, then again I, Frankenstein isn’t the strongest of movies. No one through virtually the entire running time is at all certain if the Monster (Aaron Eckhart) has a soul–spoiler alert: He does–though I wish the same could be said for the movie itself, because […]
If I can get one thing for Christmas it will be that Will Farrell NEVER appears nude–or semi-nude, for that matter–in movies ever again. His sense of shamelessness and boldness are to be applauded, but he’s not exactly easy on the eyes. Doughy and the antithesis of athletic, Chris Evans he’s not. In any case, […]
If you’ve seen videos of cosplay or the various ‘Cons’ the first thing you notice is that they feature all sorts of quirky, colorful (and often brilliant) costumes, which is why it’s understandable if you thought that that was what comic geek culture was all about (besides costumes and the–virtual–worship of certain movies and comic characters). […]
“Entertaining for children, and (probably) mildly interesting for adults.” Antboy, a film by Danish director Ask Hasselbalch, is a decent enough movie about a little boy named Pelie (Oscar Dietz) who’s bitten by an scientifically-enhanced ant, and gains certain insect-like abilities, like climbing walls, enhanced strength and acidic urine (?). The synopsis above probably sounds a bit familiar–except […]
James Gunn, the director of Guardians Of The Galaxy, has some interesting words for studios that create cinematic universes based on weak properties, and it’s worth reading. I mention it because Jurassic Park has spawned two sequels, Jurassic Park: The Lost World and Jurassic Park III so perhaps the time has arrived for a relaunch […]
I know that this is going to sound odd, but I have a pressing need for Adrián García Bogliano‘s Late Phases to be a entertaining, well-done horror film, of the werewolf sub-genre. For a start, I have seen Bogliano’s Here Comes The Devil, and it’s pretty mediocre. I haven’t yet seen Cold Sweat–it’s currently on #Netflix, though […]
Demand I am still reasonably sure that there will be a sequel to the 2010 Joseph Kosinski film, Tron: Legacy. The original earned over $400 million worldwide, on a budget of $170 million. When you take into account promotional costs–which I don’t have access to, but I’ll add on another $100 million, which sounds […]
Maybe it’s just me, but I am getting the feeling that Johnny Depp is coasting just a little bit. I laughed when I saw the trailer the the upcoming Mortdecai–he’s pretty amusing–but you’ve also seen variations of this schtick from him before (particularly in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise) and I just wish he’d do […]
