While it’s good news that M. Night Shyamalan is finally getting around to producing a sequel to his Bruce Willis/Sam Jackson-led Unbreakable, three problems in particular come to mind. 1. The original Unbreakable came out 17 years ago. The point being that a lot of people aren’t going to get fired up for a sequel to a […]
I’ve seen Nacho Vigalondo‘s Timecrimes and Open Windows, both very idiosyncratic movies, so let’s just say I find very little surprise when his latest–Colossal–features a kaiju that’s seemingly the personification of a stressed woman’s ego not all that surprising. Though what concerns me is that hopefully the movie winds up being more than a clever […]
The idea that James Gunn (Slither, Guardians of the Galaxy) is particularly fond of Moon Knight is really great news because I can think of nothing better than seeing the Fist of Khonshu on the big screen. But the hurdles for that happening are two-fold. First Gunn is occupied working on Guardians of the Galaxy, […]
What? You thought Bane deserved all the credit? In the past few months Warner Bros has been on a charm offensive, as far as the movies of their DC Extended Universe go, but I’m not buying it. Another thing I’m not buying are those people who claim that what is preported to be a lighter […]
I’m in the process of editing my review of ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS Story so check back for the full version! Though I have to say that I really did not like this movie. Say what you will about the prequels, at least they felt like Star Wars movies. Rogue One? Maybe the last […]
This is a surprisingly not-that-great a trailer, especially when you take into account that it’s for a Ridley Scott movie. For a start, the song that plays in the background is not only obnoxious, but ill-fitting. Then there’s the tone, which is hard to get a feel for. If the two things I already mentioned weren’t bad […]
I published a video earlier this week on YouTube reviewing Netflix’s The OA, which I thought was a pretty remarkable bit of television. I figure that I’d expand on what I said in the video, without spoiling the experience for people who haven’t seen it yet (besides, spoilers suck). Brit Marling wrote most of eight […]
For an ‘EVENT THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD’–emphasis their’s, not mine–I readily admit that I have never heard of this particular conflict in World War II, though I don’t know if that’s due to a failing of the American education system or a de-emphasis of it because it doesn’t seem to directly involve the United States. […]
Of the five original Planet Of The Apes movies, three–Planet Of The Apes (1968), Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970) and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) made a profound impression upon my then adolescent mind. Which is interesting because I can barely can recall either Escape from the Planet of the […]
1.Fox Remembered Way Too Late That These Characters Were Based On Comicbooks If you recall The original X-Men movie their costumes were black leather, which was probably done because the producers thought that audiences wouldn’t accept superheroes in all their technicolor, spandex-clad glory. And at the time, they were probably right. Though times change–though thankfully not […]
