Lionsgate, only a few few hours ago as of this writing, released the trailer for their upcoming Hellboy reboot. Which I really expected to dislike but in actuality I found it pretty intriguing. For a start, it appears to preserve the visual continuity Of Guillermo Del Toro’s two entries, which makes sense considering the visual […]
The website for Lionsgate upcoming Hellboy reboot is live–the movie will be out April 12, 2019–and while there’s little in the way of new information there currently, there are a few posters you might be interested in downloading. Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, Doomsday, Lost In Space (2018)) is directing and I’m definitely interested–though not as […]
Gary J. Tunnicliffe’s Hellraiser: Judgment turned up yesterday on Netflix, which made me happy… Till I realized that most of the Hellraiser sequels were pretty not good and little more than efforts by Dimension Films to hold on to the license. Judgement is move in the right direction, but misses the mark in some pretty […]
The first movie I saw from Johannes Roberts was the sci-fi/horror movie Storage 24, which I enjoyed. It had elements of horror and comedy and for the most part really worked though what I liked most was the alien, which was entirely practical and acted by a man on stilts of some sort. It was […]
Lars von Trier is apparently a pretty screwed-up guy. From his flirtation with Hitler at Cannes a few years ago to a problem with alcohol (which may be intertwined) the guy clearly has some baggage. I’m not a fan–I enjoyed 2011’s Melancholia and barely recall having seen 2009’s Antichrist–but to me he sounds like a guy teetering […]
Jeremy Saulnier’s Green Room–currently on Netflix–is a great thriller, one of the best I’ve seen in awhile. The movie revolves around a band so hard up for work that they have to siphon gas from nearby cars to get to their gigs. They eventually find themselves in a club frequented by Nazis and skin […]
I’ve never been a fan of Captain America: The First Avenger. It’s not a bad movie more than a narratively muddy one that never quite comes clear. Though there are some moments you can see the potential of the character shine through–such as what I like to call the ‘bully’ scene–but on the whole doesn’t […]
Collider has just reported that there’s a reboot to the goofy Leprachaun movies coming, called Leprechaun Returns (I’m unaware if it’s a sequel to 2014’s Leprechaun: Origins). And speaking of Origins, it wasn’t great but you could see the franchise moving away from the somewhat sillier aspects of the franchise. The Leprechaun movies have for […]
I caught Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One on video last weekend (after not seeing it in theaters). And that wasn’t an accident. The trailers for the movie looked like a bit of a train wreck, with Spielberg’s name being it’s biggest selling point. And I was right. Sort of. Ready Player One is indeed a […]
This review is a long time coming because while I’m a huge fan of the original Pacific Rim I didn’t know how to approach the sequel, especially since the director of the first, Guillermo Del Toro, wouldn’t be returning to the franchise. Steven DeKnight (Spartacus, Marvel’s Daredevil) directed the sequel, and his approach–to be expected–is […]
