“”Bad Words” Starts Out Amusingly, Before Becoming Uncomfortably Mean-Spirited And Icky.” “Bad Words,” the is the debut of Jason Bateman as a feature film director. He also stars as Guy Trilby in a curious film that at first glance appears to be about an adult whom decides to compete in a children’s spelling bee. And […]
Yesterday AMC had an interview with Chris Pratt, James Gunn and Kevin Fiege (President of Marvel Studios) about their upcoming movie “Guardians Of The Galaxy.” Here it is in its entirely. The conversation is interesting, and John Campea, of AMC Movie News, asks some good questions (though there’s a whole lot of fawning going on) […]
Eugenio Mira‘s “Grand Piano” plays like a version of “Speed,” but with an awesome twist. Tom Selznick (Elijah Wood) is a pianist who had a fall from grace, and is playing his first concert in a long time. The problem is that there’s a killer, played by John Cusack, also attending the show, and he […]
“I Have Used 500 Words What Could Have Taken Significantly Less: “Wishmaster 3″ Is A Pretty Mediocre Movie.” Do you recall “Hellraiser: Revelations?” A movie that was little more than a cynical ploy by Dimension to keep the rights to the franchise by issuing a sub-par sequel? I wasn’t aware of this being done before, […]
I don’t think that Michael Bay and Zach Snyder are the same people, though the new trailer for “Transformers: Age Of Extinction” plays eerily similar to trailers for Snyder’s “Man Of Steel”– though at least Bay lets you know that everything is going to Hell pretty quickly. It appears this time around that humanity have […]
I don’t usually reserve one parking space for two vehicles in this ‘Trailer Park,’ though when two movies, on a superficial level, cover similar ground, Why not? Is there something going on, or is it just coincidence that two movies are coming out that involve people who happen to have doubles. First is Denis Villeneuve‘s […]
The Internets are filled with all sorts of reasons why Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Guardians Of The Galaxy” could potentially be in trouble, but most of the justifications that I have come upon don’t hold water. That’s why I listed below five assorted reasons why “Guardians Of The Galaxy,” supposedly, won’t do well, and the reason […]
While I think that it’s a bit much to call director Ti West a “critic’s darling” his films tend to be well-regarded by most. He’s an interesting director (and actor. The last film he appeared in was “You’re Next”) but I think his work tends to be a bit over-rated. It’s very watchable, and even […]
“”Bad Milo!” Is Disgustingly Hilarious!” (Spoilers follow) Imagine E.T., if instead of outer space, he came from inner space. And by “inner” I mean your ass. “Bad Milo!” is a film directed by Jacob Vaughan, and Executive Produced the Duplass Brothers (Jay and Mark). Mark Duplass acts as well, and probably is most well-known as […]
When I heard that Paul Walker had died earlier this year, I was surprised; I am not quite sure why I was, in hindsight. People die all the time, and while large amounts of money can prolong life, no one has yet found a way to extend it appreciably. “Brick Mansions” is, I believe, the […]
