According to The Wrap Sony is releasing a movie based on Venom–last seen in Sam Raimi’s 2007’s Spider-Man 3, which I will return to shortly–October 5th of 2018. The ‘dumb’ is that this version of Venom will apparently exist independently of Marvel Studios’ upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming which is a bit odd since Venom was introduced in […]
Last time we learned that the world was caught in a time loop, to repeat New Year’s Day for all time, due to the sinsistent machinations of mad scientist Willard Hughes and his time machine. But we also learned that there was a method to his madness: Hughes was dying, though his time machine would enable […]
Dean Devlin, director of the troubled (anytime another director comes in to do $15 million worth of reshoots on your movie, it’s safe to assume there are serious problems, no matter how the studio spins it) movie Geostorm, apparently learned more than a little bit about making disaster films from Roland Emmerich, who he worked with (as a producer) […]
This is a fascinating trailer (and probably more interesting than any trailer has any right to be), so let’s start at the beginning. First off, take a gander at this. Why are they wearing these masks? It certainly isn’t for reasons of protecting against the introduction of bacteria because they have so many large holes […]
I have to admit, I’m a bit concerned. None of the three series Marvel has produced for Netflix thus far (two seasons of Daredevil, one of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage) have been without criticism, but typically it’s muted by the heaps of praise they receive. Regrettably that had not been the case with Marvel’s Iron […]
While that title is a bit of hyperbole on my part it does capture Ridley Scott’s feeling about the Alien franchise pretty accurately because in 2014 he said that he was done with the Alien. After all, Prometheus as originally written by Jon Spaiths was chock full of Alien goodness, though rewrites took care of […]
Over the weekend Comicbook.com posted some images from Marvel Television’s upcoming The Inhumans and while I’m glad that their teleporting dog Lockjaw will be making an appearance the costumes might be just a little bit subdued. By which I mean, here’s a picture of Black Bolt, the head of the Inhuman Royal Family. He’s a […]
Sorry about the delay in getting this out. I had actually written this post last week, but the WordPress mobile app ate it. Luckily I wrote a rough draft (on paper!), so I didn’t start from scratch. The time machine, created by Willard Hughes in Part 1, is activated and its insidious purpose is made […]
Don’t get me wrong, the latest trailer for Alien: Covenant looks pretty good–after all, it’s directed by Ridley Scott, so it goes without saying that cinematographically-speaking it’s going to be gorgeous. What bothers me a bit though is that it doesn’t seem to be doing anything particularly new. Out the box we get colonists, shots […]
I didn’t see last week’s Academy Award presentation mainly because I think as Americans we spend way too much time celebrating ourselves. An award for this, an award for that; it seems like there’s one for just about every activity that you can think of. And since they’re become so relatively common–maybe they’ve always been and I […]
