The (Un)necessary Remake Dept – Wing Commander (1999)
Gerry Anderson, it could be argued, was one of the first producers of science fiction to see what a tremendous role hardware design, such as spaceships, could play. In virtually all his television series and movies, design has been crucial (more often than not, to the detriment of character development). In fact, the Eagle from Space: 1999, […]
The Living – Review
“The Ties The Bind Are Nurtured By Blood” Jack Bryan‘s The Living is a pretty impressive thriller that revolves around a man, Teddy (a virtually unrecognizable Fran Kranz, Cabin in The Woods) who after a night of drinking beats his wife, Molly (Jocelin Donahue). He had no memory of it happening, but Molly’s bruised and bloody […]
Zoolander 2 – Teaser Trailer
The first Zoolander was released over 14 years ago, and while I recall it being intermittently funny, I am not quite sure that it warranted a sequel (despite being successful, box office-wise). Which makes me wonder why it’s taken over 14 years for Ben Stiller to come up with one. That being said, there were […]
Ant-Man – Review
“Ant-Man Shows That Great Things Come In Small Packages.” Considering how well put together Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man is, it’s a shock that just a few months ago a lot of people were talking about how it would be Marvel Studios’ first misstep. And I can understand–prior to having seen the movie– how one could come […]
A Single Man – Review
“Shiny, happy plastic people in tragic circumstances.” Tom Ford’s A Single Man isn’t a horror or fantasy film, but it might as well be, as far as depicting relationships between humans goes. George (Peter Firth) is a British expatriate, teaching at a college in California. His world is seemingly perfect till the death of his […]
Resolution – Review
“Resolution Is The Best Mumblecore Horror Movie Ever Made” Resolution was the movie that introduced me to Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Spring), so to speak. I’ve re-watched it recently, and have been looking for a way to describe it as briefly as possible. And I think I have it: Resolution is the best mumblecore horror movie ever […]
Steve Jobs – Official Trailer 1
Michael Fassbender appears to be an excellent Steve Jobs in Steve Jobs. That being said, the trailer seems to spend a bit of time focusing on some of his more…unsavory behaviors, such has the way he was a dick toward his ex. It comes off a bit unseemly, though I guess as long as it’s balanced by […]
Spring – Review
“Be careful who you love, because Spring is coming and it’s a monster.” Some critics has described Spring as ‘Lovecraftian,’–which is what drew me to it in the first place–and while a very good movie, Lovecraftian it’s not. For it to be so would imply that it was based on, or somehow similar or related to, the […]
The Martian – Trailer
It may have just been me, but looking at the trailer for Ridley Scott’s The Martian the first thing that came to mind was another Scott movie, Prometheus, which features a silica storm that looks just like the one featured in this movie. Though I am assuming that they producers are going less for hard-core […]
