I’ve read that Netflix alters the episode order of Love, Death + Robots based upon the viewing habits of the particular subscriber. Annnnd…who cares? All Netflix likely knows about me is what I actually watch so if they’re tailoring the order of episodes due to what they perceive as my preferences, who cares (especially when […]
What a disappointing episode. The worse thing is not that the story is relatively simple–as I said with The Dump, there’s nothing wrong with a simple story as long as it’s well-told–it’s that the story demanded a more nuanced way of moving forward. Shape-Shifters revolves around the American military in some Middle Eastern country, fighting […]
The Dump is likelier among the simpler episodes of Love, Death + Robots, but simple isn’t in and of itself a criticism because the story is well-told, which in the end is all that matters. The art is gorgeous, and very reminiscent of Richard Corben’s work .
This is an awesome trailer! It doesn’t say that this is a Mirror Universe Superman story but the character actually wears a red cape at one point! You can tell where it’s going but it’s those similarities that make it interesting. I also hope Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster get a credit because while Blackburn […]
Now this, I like. Midsommar is the followup to 2018’s Hereditary, directed by Ari Aster. This looks awesome and like I mention in the video it has a very Wicker Man, cult-type feel. And methinks there’ll be a whole lot of sacrificing to pagan deities going on.
While I’d rather see Guillermo Del Toro finish his Hellboy Trilogy–Hellboy, Hellboy: The Golden Army and….–that’s no longer in the cards. The reboot is being directed by Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday) and stars David Harbor (Stranger Things, Suicide Squad) as Hellboy. The trailer looks okay, except for some of the CGI, which […]
I’m surprised by the trailer for Joseph Kelly’s Clown Motel because it’s really, really good! It has a very Rob Zombie/House Of 1000 Corpses feel to it and I think it will be a really engaging feature.
Movies about AI going bonkers–like 2001: A Space Odyssey or 2018’s Tau–are hardly uncommon but AMI hits a little bit closer to home with a digital assistant that’s remarkably similar to Apple’s Siri. And speaking of digital assistants, check out Marti, an episode from the Netflix series Creeped Out. I suspect it’s a lot like […]
Well, we’ve finally arrived at Final Destination 3, the followup to the superior Final Destination 2. It’s by no means terrible, just not particularly engaging. It’s well-acted and shot, and director James Wong (The X-Files, Final Destination) brings a workman-like persistence but little else. There’s some interesting set pieces–particular the train scene–but there’s just no […]
Welcome to the Final Destination-A-Thon! The bulk of the Final Destination movies recently turned up on Netflix, and I figure this is a good time for a once a day review of the series. The first Final Destination movie came out 19 years ago, and it doesn’t wear particularly well. The reason being is the […]
