Generally I don’t particularly care about these sorts of things, but having seen “Iron Man 3” perhaps more times than should be legal, I noticed this little error. Truth be told, it’s less of an error than the filmmakers apparently showing us what they can get away with when viewers are in awe over one of […]
As I understand it, this isn’t the actual trailer for David Cronenberg’s upcoming “Map To the Stars,” but one cut for the purpose of international sales. I stumbled upon it–with more than a little help from “The Wrap”–though it makes me wonder why Cronenberg continues to work with Robert Patterson. If their last film together, […]
I read last week on ScreenCrush that the producer of the X-Men films, Lauren Schuler-Donner, “is interested in taking that character (Mystique) into a solo film.” And if anyone were to ask me–and they haven’t–I would say, “Don’t do it.” That’s not coming from the perspective of a hater. I personally think that it would be […]
You ever watch a trailer and get the feeling that the director is probably trying to be too artsy? Well, that’s there feeling that I get from watching “Wish I Were Here,” the latest film from Zach Braff, while also fighting the urge to type, “Wish You Were Here,” which is an awesome song by Pink Floyd, […]
Part 1: It’s All About The Benjamins I imagine that M. Night Shyamalan, coming off the blockbuster success of 1999’s “The Sixth Sense,” thought that he literally ruled the world. That movie, on a $40 million budget, earned almost $673 million dollars. His followup, 2000’s “Unbreakable,” cost $75 million to produce, almost doubled the cost of […]

The ‘Expendables’ films are somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me in the sense that they remind me of an American muscle car, like the Corvette Stingray. It might not be state of the art in certain ways, such as engine technology, but it’s surprising the problems that copious amounts of horsepower can solve. This film is chock […]
“”Captain America: The Winter Soldier” Easily Ranks Among The Best Marvel Studios Films.” Let me get something out of the way: You know all those critics that say that “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” was a great superhero film that’s evocative of spy thrillers like “Three Days of the Condor (both which happen to have Robert […]
The debate over whether the Year One or Two of Space: 1999 is one that will probably rank relatively low among the questions that plague mankind by their elusiveness. Unless you happen to be a person that prefers one or the other, in which case the answer is fairly obvious and the question somewhat pointless. Space: 1999 is the […]
Since I am not willing to pay the ridiculously high prices charged by cable providers, I get my television by computer. One of my favorite shows is Spike TV’s “Inkmaster,” which has a new episode every Tuesday, though it appears on Spike.com the following Saturday. And I have no problem with that, minus the occasion […]
