I think I want to see this movie. While the The Nice Guys looks like a typical Shane Black movie–The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight–that’s not necessarily a bad thing because those movies were a lot of fun. After all, it’s not like he’s is directing movies left and right (his last was Iron Man […]
Overall, Takashi Shimizu’s (The Grudge, The Grudge 2, Ju-on: The Grudge–see a trend here?) Flight 1750 is a pretty decent horror movie that’s interested more in the slow-burn approach to film making, as opposed to how much blood (CGI or otherwise) can be splashed about. And that’s not a bad thing because Shimizu knows his […]
Take note, Bryan Singer, this is how you do it! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: No body brings the destruction like Roland Emmerich (and I’m not suggesting for a moment that it has anything to do with him being German, though it can’t hurt). The sequel to 1996’s Independence Day […]
The most recent trailer for X-men: Apocalypse dropped yesterday, so I gave it a look. If you check out my last trailer review–posted below–you’ll see what I think about about X:Men: Apocalypse – Trailer 2 below. Looking at the third trailer, it feels like director Bryan Singer is playing in Roland Emmerich’s sandbox, and I am not […]
Paul Greenglass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum and Matt Damon are back with the further adventures of super spy Jason Bourne with Jason Bourne. Though what I find most interesting is if Greenglass and Damon can make Jason Bourne relevant in these days where characters like Captain America play […]
The strange thing about the latest trailer of Godzilla: Resurgence is that when you see the world’s most popular kaiju it feels like he turns up more in that small period of time than he did for the entirety of 2014’s Gareth Edwards-hemmed movie. That’s an exaggeration, though not as huge as you’d think considering […]
You’ve got to give it to Nicholas Winding Refn–he of the awfully cool name–who, visually speaking, is probably one of the most interesting directors working today. The way he uses color reminds me of Guillermo Del Toro, who also uses it to indicate a certain atmosphere and feel. So it goes without saying that the trailer is […]
I admit that when I first saw Len Wiseman’s Underworld in 2003 I have to admit that I was impressed. Vampires and werewolves battling for domination, what’s not to love?
Off the top of my head, I think that I may have seen two Harry Potter movies, though the only one I remember is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (mainly because it was directed by Alfonso Cuarón, who did the remarkable Children of Men–one of those rare movies significantly better than the books that inspired them–more so than […]
I enjoyed J.J. Abrams’ interpretation of the Star Wars universe with The Force Awakens, but it felt too shiny, too clean. Now Rogue One feels like a Star Wars movie should. Or maybe it’s just seeing old school Star Destroyers and the original Death Star, though I think that it’s the grim tone, the grit and the […]
