What is it about Australia and the fall of civilization? Is it because they have the Outback, a desert space that will in no uncertain terms kill you if you venture into it unprepared? Or is there something in the Australian character that makes Man, as well as everything that we have ever created, broken and hanging […]
I don’t quite know what to make of Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman. On one level it appears to be a superhero drama, on another it appears to be a dark comedy. I get the feeling that this Birdman only exists in the imagination of Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) whom appears to be a washed-up actor. What his […]
This movie is going to be huge. With The Transformers: Age Of Extinction and Guardians Of The Galaxy coming, The Equalizer probably isn’t on too many people’s radar, though it should be. It’s based upon the 1985 CBS television series that starred the late Edward Woodward. He played a private detective, and former intelligence agent, that […]
Ecclesiastes 1:4-11 said: What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Most movies seem to have taken those words to heart, because they tend to be be all the same, no matter whether they’re comedies, action movies, or […]
Like Clint Eastwood’s Jersey Boys, Tate Taylor‘s Get On Up is a purportedly autobiographical, though it covers the life of James Brown (and in case you were curious, his name is actually James Brown), as opposed to Frankie Valli. Though like the aforementioned Clint Eastwood Joint, it’s also not quite my cup of tea.
Here are the latest trailers from Clint Eastwood‘s film, Jersey Boys, purportedly the story of Frankie Valli (considering his original name was Francesco Stephen Castelluccio ‘Frankie Valli’ rolls off the tongue much, much easier) and The Four Seasons. It’s not the type of movie I am typically drawn to, but if it happened to be on television […]
If you needed another reason to love Marvel Studios–besides their awesome movies–it’s probably because they’re best at translating their characters to the screen, which is why when I heard that they were preparing to launch four new series exclusively for Netflix a few months ago, I was so happy that you’d think that I was […]
In September of last year I wrote of how Pacific Rim Will Spawn A Sequel. One of the reasons that I said that this was the case was because Guillermo Del Toro said at the time that he was writing it with Travis Beacham, who wrote the original with Del Toro. Yesterday ScreenRant mentioned that Del […]
Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff, of Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI) aren’t names that most people are familiar with, though if you have seen Alien, Predator, The Thing (2011), Monster Squad, Mortal Combat, The Fly, The Fly II among many, many others, then you are more familiar with their work than you think. Despite such a pedigree, the film industry have […]
Tim Story is a prolific multihyphenate producer-director, who in the 12 years between 2002 to 2014, produced one feature and directed 10.
