First off, let me begin by saying that Paul Rudd is one of my favorite actors. He reminds me a lot of Chris Pratt, minus the occasional athleticism and seemingly boundless optimism. I mention him because recently a bunch of sites–such as Deadline: Hollywood, though I am sure there’re others–have featured pictures of Rudd from Marvel […]
A few months ago I misread that prospects of Disney’s Maleficent, so I have been a bit leery about trying to predict the success of films that I don’t care for (in other words, just because I don’t think much of Angelina Jolie as an actress doesn’t mean that the films she stars in will necessarily […]
Let’s (Not) Be Cops, And Say That We Did When I saw the trailer for Let’s Be Cops I genuinely enjoyed it. It not only looked funny, but stars both Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr, who are also in the Fox sitcom New Girl (which is funny), whom I assume since they knew each other […]
My God, This Trailer Looks Really Bad Origin, the video service from EA, is offering a copy of Wing Commander 3: Heart of the Tiger for free. I haven’t played the game before, though I did see the movie based on the video game franchise. It had some interesting special effects and spaceships (and David Suchet, […]
Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy opened in the United States last week, and looks to have a very bright future, seeing that based on advanced buzz along, Marvel has already locked in a sequel for 2017 while Thursday it earned $11.2 million, besting established franchises like The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Transformers: Age of Extinction and […]
When I saw this trailer, I wasn’t terrible impressed. That being said, Meryl Streep is part of the cast, and she’s awesome. I want to say that this movie isn’t going to do all that well, except that I said the same thing about another Disney film, Maleficent, which I got pretty wrong. So while I […]
It’s That’s Good. You’re Welcome. Let’s be clear about something: James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy should not have worked, at least as well as Gunn (who co-wrote the screenplay with Nicole Perlman and directed) and Marvel Studios obviously think (and it’s clear that they are optimistic because based on early reviews a sequel as already been […]
The last movie I reviewed, Calvary, was a pretty good film, despite a lack of balance between dramatic and comedy elements. I mention it because I think that I found a movie that gets it right. Gerald Johnstone‘s Housebound revolves around a woman (the aptly named Morgana O’Reilly) as Kylie Bucknell, the partner of a not-too-competent […]
John Michael McDonagh’s Calvary had a preview showing in Washington, DC, where the director as well as Brendan Glesson discussed not only what they were trying to do with the film, but the broader landscape that it existed in. There was a period for questions from the audience as well, which made for a pretty interesting evening. It […]
Originally I was going to open things up with the trailer for 50 Shades of Gray, but let’s be honest: I don’t care about that movie, and if you’re reading this blog you probably don’t either. And not that anyone asked, but–since I am being honest–the best thing that could have happened to Charlie Hunnam […]
