As I have mentioned before, I didn’t see Marc Webb’s Spider-man reboot, “The Amazing Spider-Man, because I had no need to see Spidey’s origin story again. Radioactive spider, bite; I get it. Let’s move on already. Shailene Woodley is going to play Mary-Jane Watson, though since I am unfamiliar with who she is, I don’t […]
Anyone ever wonder why the The Lone Ranger, was called The Lone Ranger, despite the almost constant presence of Tonto, his American Indian companion? Yeah, that was always strange to me, too. I should also admit that I have never been a huge fan of the character, though I do recall watching when I was […]
Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph” took a while, but it’s finally growing on me. I like it even more since I learned that John C. Reilly, as opposed to Seth Rogen, (who happens to sound quite a bit like Reilly) is voicing the character. Though truth be told, I would prefer John C. McGinley even more (mainly because […]
When I heard that Edgar Wright revealed a test footage for his upcoming Marvel Studios film, “Ant-Man”, I was jazzed. And the Internet, being what it is, made me reasonably sure that someone in attendance at the last Comic-Con would have filmed it despite being told not to (under penalty of being banned from future […]
Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” is being post-converted to 3D, which is interesting when you consider how terrible such conversions tend to be. Remember “Wrath Of The Titans?” If there’s another film that was converted to 3D to such seemingly universal disdain, I am unaware of it. That being said tickets for 3D films tend […]
“Seven Psychopaths” stars Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Tom Waits, Woody Harrelson, and Christopher Walken. It was directed by Martin McDonagh, who also did “In Bruges,” which I have heard is a very entertaining, though I have yet to see it. Though not billed as such, “Seven Psychopaths” feels to me like a must-see film, bordering on […]
That’s not quite fair, though if Sean Penn isn’t channeling Robert Smith of The Cure, in his upcoming film, “This Must Be The Place” then I don’t know who’s he trying to be. His performance strikes me as one of the boldest from anyone in years because, if the trailer is any indicator, it is […]
Today Michael Clarke Duncan died, and I have no intention of writing any nonsense about him dying before his time because the time you die is pretty much when it’s supposed to happen. The only two movies that I saw him in were “Daredevil” and Tim Burton’s (pointless) remake of “The Planet Of The Apes.” […]
This is an interesting bit of news. According to Vulture, by way of Superherohype, there’s talk of a reboot of Dave Stevens’ ‘Rocketeer,’ which I think is a really cool idea. The original film, directed by Joe Johnston, most recently of “Captain America,” didn’t do too well at the box office, earning almost $47 million […]
“The most fun you will ever have watching a baby getting socked in the face.” Jay Roach’s “The Campaign” is really funny, but it’s also two different movies. The first is hilarious, and deals with Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), who appears to live virtually every stereotype that accompanies being queer, and yet he (somehow) manages […]
