Pixar’s Toy Story movies have been consistently good, which is really difficult to do. Though they’re not typically movies I’m drawn to, I do understand that they’re oftentimes pretty remarkable and definitely have their audience. Toy Story 4 is the latest in the series, though having just watched the trailer…it looks fine, but hints at […]
I’ve never thought that Matt Ryan’s portrayal of John Constantine was a particularly good one, though I don’t blame him more than the casting. For a start, Constantine is the comics is physically lanky and more roguish than Ryan played him. Ryan says all the right things, but never quite does so convincingly. Then there’s […]
Remember Jim Carrey’s live action portrayal in Dr. Suess’s The Grinch That Stole Christmas (in case you don’t I’ve included the trailer. You’re welcome)? How The Grinch That Stole Christmas (2000) If there were ever characters designed to be animated, it’s Dr. Seuss’ s because his drawings, when placed in a real life context, come […]
Footage from Donald Glover’s aborted take on Fox’s Deadpool was released a while ago, and it not only looks awesome and captures the feel of the movie–it’s gloriously and unrepentantly violent–but oddly enough feels more ‘Deadpool’ than Deadpool actually was. And I know this is simply an animation test, but it feels like Marvel Television […]
This trailer must have flown under the radar–which is a bit weird considering the Incredibles were massive when they first appeared. So, this teaser reintroduces us to Jack ‘Jack’ Parr, the latest addition to the Parr household. And despite the original movie having premiered 14 years ago, he’s not only got no better a grasp […]
The All Nighter looks pretty amusing. The role J.K. Simmons plays–a concerned father who’s daughter has gone missing-vaguely reminds me of Liam Neeson’s character in the Taken movies, but geared toward comedy. Speaking of Simmons he’s perhaps one of the more versatile character actors working today, with an enviable ability to elevate whatever he happens […]
The teaser trailer for Pixar’s Cars 3 was pretty harrowing–it somehow managed to be more emotionally demanding than the entirety of ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS Story–which is saying something. In fact, the official trailer opens with the teaser, so you’ll see what I mean. We also see that the whole talking cars thing […]
The first time I had seen the Cars 3 teaser trailer was during Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and someone seated nearby remarked: “That’s pretty dark for a Pixar movie.” Whoever this astute moviegoer was, he took the words right out of my mouth because not only is this trailer–tonally speaking–dark but it makes […]
Seriously? I guess that I shouldn’t be too 😱 that Hollywood is basing an entire movie on a concept as seemingly vapid as Emoji. The trailer reminds me vaguely of Pixar’s Inside Out, which if you’re going to be compared to something, is not a bad thing. Will I go to see it? Probably […]
Warner Bros/DC Films’ Justice League Dark has had one of the most confusing journeys in to theaters in recent memory. Originally intended as a project for Guillermo del Toro to direct, for unknown reasons those plans were abandoned, and it morphed into a cartoon (It’s worth mentioning that how the situation unfolded–minus the animation–is vaguely similar to how […]
