I don’t know why I’m so annoyed with the trailer for the last Sharknado–fittingly titled The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time (not to be confused with Amityville 1992: It’s About Time, which I recall being a pretty good movie). After all, none of the Sharknado movies ever pretended to be realistic, which is good when you consider […]
I’ve always wanted to like the Puppet Master movies more than I actually do. Unlike Chucky and Gizmo the antagonists/protagonists of the Puppet Master films not only can’t talk, but also aren’t particularly expressive physically so it makes relating to them–beyond being interesting practical effects–a little difficult. And while a lot of that may be due to […]
Netflix’s Extinction is one of the better alien invasion thrillers that’s come down the pike in quite awhile, mainly because the ‘invasion’ is actually the least important aspect of the story. It’s more a commentary on what it means to be human, and what we’ll do to protect what we believe to be ours. Michael […]
Well, that was a…trailer? Not to sound underwhelmed by Sylvain White’s (The Losers) upcoming Slender Man but what the stylized horror movie has apparently missed is that someone has actually been killed in the Internet meme’s name. Why not take that incident–in the vein (pardon the pun) of The Blair Witch II: Book of Shadows […]
I’ve considered Adolph Hitler and the rise of Nazism fascinating for quite awhile now, though not for what I believe are typical reasons. What interests me is that there was literally no way Hitler could have done what he did without the defacto acquiescence of the German people (at least initially, before his mad enterprise […]
The trailer for Robert Rodriguez’s Battle Angel Alita opens with: ‘You told me a story of the way, when the ground shook and the sky burned.’ Which is an interesting choice of words because combined with the visuals it fits pretty well within the Terminator universe which was–disputably–created by James Cameron, who also produced Battle […]
At this point I’m just glad we’re (apparently) getting a Godzilla movie that actually features Godzilla for more than a combined fifteen or twenty minutes. And I know that that’s selfish of me but when I go see a movie titled ‘Godzilla’ I don’t think it’s asking too much to see the damn huge lizard […]
When I heard that Netflix was releasing a new horror movie I went a little psycho (in the best possible way). Then I learned it was called Ghoul I dared to think that maybe something wicked this way would come and touch me with some horror movie goodness. Then I learned it was Indian–not Native […]
…though not quite as good as the original. I realized two things when listening to Marilyn Manson’s cover of Gerald McMann’s ‘Cry Little Sister’ from the 2010 Joel Schumacher horror/homosexuality allegory The Lost Boys namely Manson sings a lot better than I gave him credit for. His voice holds up really well. That being said, […]
It goes without saying I didn’t particularly like the firsr trailer for Shane Black’s The Predator. It played a bit too much like AVP: Requiem (which is insult enough) but for some reason felt the need to imply some kid somehow gained the ability to control a Predator space craft, which one-upped the former movie […]
