Netflix is bringing back Voltron, though it appears that he might have got a demotion from being the ‘Defender of the Universe’ to a ‘Legendary Defender.’ I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the robot, though for some reason when growing up I thought that it was selfish that only one of the […]
When a movie comes from Seth Rogen you typically don’t expect it to be terribly sophisticated–though considering that he, along with producing partner Evan Goldberg, have developed a series based on Vertigo’s Preacher (which is getting rave reviews) it’s not any longer a terribly accurate interpretation–and if that movie were called ‘Sausage Party’ you probably […]
You might thing that I was intending to wright ‘Zombies,’ but if you did you probably weren’t aware that this is from The Asylum. Zoombies is not about the typical–zombies have become so mainstream that I can write that without a bit of irony–undead but instead zombified animals at a safari park that begin to […]
The quote “What goes up, must come down,” has been attributed to Issac Newton, though apparently no one told Bob Iger over at Walt Disney because two of his studios, Pixar and Marvel Studios, spend most of them time defying gravity, with releases that consistently break box office records. Though maybe Newton got it right […]
Pete’s Dragon was a Disney movie made in 1977 that–like other Disney movies at the time–was a mixture of live action and hand-drawn animation. Think of it as the CGI of its time. What about the new version? Looking at the trailer, I Initially thought that I was revisiting The Jungle Book, which also revolves around a […]
I didn’t particularly like the first two trailers for Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice because they’re both filed with much bombast and thunder–as far as I can tell–signifying very little. And I might be reading into things a bit, but if feels as if director Zach Snyder equates blowing things up with seriousness, which if that […]
The trailer for the latest chapter in the Independence Day saga dropped a few hours ago, and to be honest I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Between Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Captain America: Civil War and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and X-Men: Apocalypse there are some huge movies coming out relatively soon. There’s potentially millions riding on when these […]
According to Business Insider, Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur is the company’s first box office failure, though that’s not quite true (not yet, at any rate). The reason being, the movie has only been out thirteen days, so it’s a bit too early to tell. Ironically, the Variety article that the Business Insider article links to […]
The full trailer for Batman v Superman dropped last night, and I get a very Transformers-like vibe from it (as in huge special effects in service of a pretty simple story. And speaking of story, doesn’t this trailer seem to give away a lot of stuff that they maybe shouldn’t have?), which isn’t necessarily a good thing […]
I admit that when I first saw Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey I thought that it was almost unwatchable.
