Does this sound a bit nutty to anyone else? Zach Snyder, the director of 2013’s “Man Of Steel,” decided that Ben Affleck would play Batman in the upcoming sequel. Now, I am not that crazy about that decision, but what I think is worse is that Tim Nasson has set up a petition to remove […]
“E.B.E.” or Extraterrestrial Biological Entity, is the seventeenth episode of “The X-Files” and it probes a little bit deeper into the conspiracy that powered the series for most of its run – and before it totally went off the rails in later seasons. It begins in Iraq, when a pilot shoots down an unidentified flying […]
I don’t know what it is about this trailer, but it makes me laugh. Maybe it’s the idea that a burned-out actor somehow becomes President, or perhaps it’s the over-the-top tone. Or maybe it’s the woman with the well-armed – and armored – brassiere (speaking of which, where are the bullets stored? There is no […]
I am not a huge Woody Allen fan, in fact the only film of his that I think I saw was “Sleeper.” Though I do hear a lot about how I am supposed to like his work. That being said, there’s something about multi-hyphenate director John Turturro’s “Fading Gigolo” that really interests me. And despite getting […]
HTC isn’t doing too well in the smartphone wars. All that I have read says that their premium smart phone, the HTC One is a gorgeous, well-thought out device. That being said, with Apple and Samsung sucking up all the oxygen it’s hard for other smartphone makers to find some air to breathe. HTC seems […]
Neil Blomkamp’s “Elysium” is somewhat of a novelty these days: A science fiction film that has something not only to say about where we are as a species, but where we are going. Though, before I begin, I need to get something off my chest. Some critics, who actually get paid for their work, have […]
Funny, on first hearing the title of Ridley Scott’s follow-up to “Prometheus,” it never occurred to me that it referred to a lawyer. Prior to this trailer I imagined it was about a high school athletics coach or something. And whoever cuts trailers for Scott deserves some sort of recognition because they always manage to […]
I don’t actually think that Alan Pakula’s “The Parallax View” has stood the test of time very well. The movie revolves around a reporter, Joseph Frady (Warren Beatty) who stumbles upon a plot by a mysterious corporation, The Parallax Corporation, to create assassins. I haven’t read the book by Loren Singer but it appears that virtually everything in […]
Can Keanu Reeves star in a movie where he doesn’t happen to be “The One?” I mean, it was interesting in Andy Wachowski and Lena Wachowski’s ‘Matrix’ films, but it’s beginning to feel a bit long in the tooth. Also, watching the trailer for Carl Rinsch’s troubled “47 Ronin” part of me wonders why the […]
“Conduit” is the fourth episode of the First season, and where we learn more about why Mulder believes so strongly that “The Truth Is Out There.” It revolves around a woman, Darlene Morris (Carrie Snodgrass) who is camping with her daughter, Ruby (Taunya Dee) and son Kevin (Joel Palmer), when they are visited by a […]
