According to Comicbookmovie.com, the first trailer for Scott Derrickson’s (The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister, Deliver Us From Evil) upcoming Doctor Strange will be released this Tuesday! As you can tell from Derrickson’s resume, he’s really into horror movies. And that’s a good thing because there’s always the chance that not only will Doctor Strange be scarier and weirder than […]
I kind of like the idea behind David F. Sandberg’s Lights Out, but I am not sure how it stands up to scrutiny. After all, in the trailer the phantasm doesn’t appear in pitch darkness-which the title implies–but when there’s a nearby light source. This is an important distinction because my scariest moments tend to happen […]
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice reviews have been filtering in for the last day or two, and while they’re not all terrible–after all, someone probably even liked Hitler’s paintings–they’re pretty disastrous considering that there are literally millions, if not potentially billions, riding on its success. I intend to catch it tomorrow, and will post a review as […]
I readily admit that Tom Twyker’s A Hologram For The King isn’t the type of movie that I typically go for, though there are a few things about it that pique my interest. First off, you have Tom Hanks reciting the lyrics for The Talking Heads “Once In A Lifetime, which is awesome. Then there’s Twyker himself, […]
While it’s great that Bryan Singer finally understands that he’s making movies based on comic books, the bulletin might have come just a bit too late. Reason being, we’ve got Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice premiering March 28–by the time its competition appears on the horizon hopefully it will have profitability in its sights. If it doesn’t […]
“”Vengeance Shall Be Hers” But Frustration Will Be Yours.”
I have to admit that I was feeling a bit lukewarm about the new Ghostbusters. My biggest issue was that the casting of an all-female team seemed like a less than organic move by the filmmakers than one apparently designed to placate people who believe that movies should be more diverse. And movies should be more diverse, of […]
Olly Blackburn’s Kristy is one of the better home invasion thrillers, except in this instance the ‘home’ in question is an entire college campus, empty but for a skeleton staff and Justine (Haley Bennett), who’s planning on staying on campus over the Thanksgiving holiday. Unfortunately for Justine and everyone else, a cult of religious zealots have […]
Peter Hyams’ 1997’s creature-feature, The Relic, was a pretty good movie. It featured Tom Sizemore (despite his personal foibles, the man’s a damn good actor) as Lt. Vincent D’Agosta, who had to stop a mysterious killer who’s MO was beheading. He follows the bodies to–if I recall–The Museum of Natural History, where something monstrous has returned home. And it’s a good movie, […]
Sort of… When Disney cancelled Tron 3 a lot of people were probably convinced–and rightly so– that they had seen the last of Flynn, Quorra, Clu and the other denizens of the Grid (last seen in 2010’s Tron: Legacy). It appears that that may not be the case after all because–while there’s still no traction on Tron […]
