I was looking for something new to watch on Netflix, when I noticed that there was a new movie, Malibu Rescue, on the streaming channel. I started to watch it, honestly not expecting too much, till I noticed in the opening credits that it was directed by SAVAGE STEVE HOLLAND! SAVAGE STEVE HOLLAND! This guy […]
The trailer for Sony’s Sonic The Hedgehog dropped yesterday, and it looks like balls (though to be fair it is Sony we’re talking about) And that’s probably not a surprise–have you seen Slenderman!?–Except…except for the fact while the trailer sucks, Jim Carrey’s Dr. Robotnik is GLORIOUS! Now keep in mind I never really thought of […]
I have to admit that when I first heard of Happy Death Day I wasn’t expecting much…and after finally having seen it, I was right. It’s too disposable by far and you know that that’s going to be the case when you realize the idea of a person reliving the same day seemingly infinitely is […]
Now this looks funny! I like Will Ferrell best when he’s at his broadest, and here, playing Sherlock Holmes, he’s definitely swinging for the fences though I find John C. Reilly most interesting because his Watson is somewhat of a straight man to Ferrell’s bizarre Holmes. And speaking of Holmes did anyone get a very […]
I didn’t see last week’s Academy Award presentation mainly because I think as Americans we spend way too much time celebrating ourselves. An award for this, an award for that; it seems like there’s one for just about every activity that you can think of. And since they’re become so relatively common–maybe they’ve always been and I […]
I find Bryan Singer’s The Usual Suspects an irritating movie mainly because it’s not really as smart or as clever as it like to think that it is. Which is probably why I’m surprised to find that I really enjoyed this trailer from the sequel. And Stephen Colbert in the role made famous by Kevin […]
Seriously!? Is there some pent-up demand for a movie that puts the ‘monster’ literally into ‘monster trucks?’ And to be sure, no one knew for certain that the Transformers movies would be the massive hits (reasons to this day, for the most part, beyond my comprehension) they ended up being prior to them being released. […]
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 […]
Richie Keen’s Fist Fight looks to be pretty funny (and Charlie Day looks pretty short, especially when you consider that Ice Cube can’t be any taller than 5’6, give or take) but it also looks particularly one-note. And while I haven’t seen the movie, I get the feeling that it’s going to end one of […]
I don’t tend to be a comedy guy–I enjoy them, but don’t tend to go out of my way to catch one–but the trailer for Kelly Fremon’s The Edge of Seventeen really caught my attention. First off, it apparently recognizes that the best comedy comes from tragedy, so there’s a girl, Nadine Byrd (Hailee Steinfeld), […]
