And in case you don’t get the reference… And you should know that I don’t take to paraphrasing Princess Leia lightly, though I think that it’s warranted in this particular case. Call Girl Of Cthulhu trailer The point being, I have just seen the trailer for Call Girl of Cthulhu and it looks to be in […]
Luis de la Madrid‘s 2005 ghost story The Nun (La Monja) isn’t a terrible movie by any stretch, though that’s not to imply that it’s particularly good, because it isn’t. Though the greater crime is that there are stirrings of greatness not too far below the surface, which are never given a chance to bloom into horrific […]
I have no intention of seeing Fifty Shades of Gray, mainly because it’s not my kind of movie. Besides, if I were going to watch S&M I’d rather not watch the Lifetime version of it. Though what I find interesting is how well received the film has been, and that director Sam Taylor-Johnson is returning to […]
I caught the reboot of Robocop in theaters, and recall at the time thinking that it was a bit weak, especially compared to the original film. That being said, having watched it again my first impression was confirmed, namely that it’s not as as engaging or as fun as the1987 Paul Verhoeven movie. And speaking of Verhoeven’s film, […]
At first glance, I could easily understand why someone might think that Steve Pink‘s original Hot Tub Time Machine didn’t do well enough to warrant a sequel, having earned almost $65 million (on a $36 million budget). But that would be ignoring a very significant point, namely that the movie was rated R, which means that its […]
While growing up, while I was aware of Napoleon Solo (otherwise known as The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) and Illya Kuryakin (originally played by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum in the television series), though I didn’t watch it, being instead a huge fan of The Avengers and Department S. There’s already been a remake of The Avengers, […]
I haven’t seen any of The Fast and the Furious movies in their entirety (though I recall catching a snippet of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift when I was visiting my parents awhile ago) and had no intent of doing so. I am also surprised to learn that there have only been three, excluding the latest movie. […]
A few hours ago I wrote a piece for MoviePilot about Spider-Man’s return to the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), and overall I am pretty happy about the way things have turned out. Technically speaking, it’s not quite Spider-Man returning to where he belongs, but under the circumstances it’s probably as good as it’s going to get. That being […]
“Apparently, No One Told Director Tommy Wirkola That Sometimes Too Much Is Just Too Much.” Have you ever known a person that you enjoyed being around, despite that they always seem to try way too hard to be the center of attention? You may like them as an individual, but wish that they would just tone […]
This is part of what I hate about Hollywood. With the Poltergeist reboot trailer about to drop any day now, I wonder why anyone is remaking a movie that doesn’t particularly need it. Tobe Hooper’s (or Steven Spielberg’s, depending upon whom you ask) haunted house thriller is not only one of the better movies it its type, […]
