Today is the day that I have decided to celebrate a few of the things to be thankful for, like there being a sequel to Stephen Sommers’ 2009 film “G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra.” This is something I do, I should add, because I am an advocate of comic book-based films, more so than […]
“He was always trying to f*&k the way out of himself. I have orgasms, he has wargasms.” –O What an awesomely cheesy line. Reminds me of “Do you know what happens to a toad that’s struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else.” from the first “X-Men” film. Despite how technically proficient […]
It appears that Nicholas Cage has finally come to his senses, and is putting the Ghost Rider behind him. 2007’s original, directed by Mark Steven Johnson, wasn’t terrible, but it made a sophomore mistake, namely that it was pretty tame for a movie about a character that’s possessed by a demon. The original film should […]
“Here’s to all the kisses I snatched, and vice versa.” —Fred Chu Think about it for a moment, you’ll get it. One of Marvel Studios’ Phase Two projects is a feature film version of Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts. I still think that Ioan Gruffudd should play Strange, though who should direct? On […]
I have noticed, more often that I like to admit, that I form opinions of people I have never met and experiences I have never had based upon what I have seen in movies, on television and in the news. And even worse, I tend to do so unconsciously, despite being aware–sometimes even hyper-aware–of the […]
David O. Russell may sound Irish, but it isn’t written as ‘David O’ Russell.’ It was careless of me, and I’ll try to keep an eye on such things in future.
Let’s be clear: I don’t think Rob Zombie is a very good director. In fact, his movies on one level can be seem to be primarily vehicles for employing his wife, Sherri Moon Zombie; which I have nothing against because such nepotism in Hollywood–or anywhere else for that matter–isn’t exactly unusual. Judd Apatow gives his […]
“David O’ Russell’s “Silver Linings Playbook,” shows that it’s sometimes hard to separate the keepers from the inmates.” The first part of this review is more a commentary upon the behavior of the director, David O’Russell. If such things don’t interest you, please continue reading below the second Youtube clip. I saw David O’ Russell’s 2009 film,“Three […]
I could have posted this yesterday, but frankly wasn’t terribly interested till I saw the poster to the left at the Silver Spring Metro station today. One thing led to another (tell me something wrong, I listened too long but then, one thing leads to another), and here I am. At first I wasn’t sure […]
When Gerry Anderson died last September, I not only was saddened, but felt somehow betrayed. I am not arrogant to believe that his health is any of my business, but knowing would have clarified for me why it is that he left the Pinewood Studios lot, and the selling of the memorabilia that he had accrued […]
