What? You thought Bane deserved all the credit? In the past few months Warner Bros has been on a charm offensive, as far as the movies of their DC Extended Universe go, but I’m not buying it. Another thing I’m not buying are those people who claim that what is preported to be a lighter […]
I’m in the process of editing my review of ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS Story so check back for the full version! Though I have to say that I really did not like this movie. Say what you will about the prequels, at least they felt like Star Wars movies. Rogue One? Maybe the last […]
Having watched The OA on Netflix a few weeks ago–check it out, it’s really intriguing and pretty clever at times–I’ve come to notice that Jason Issacs in the latter part of his career seems to be specializing in criminally-inclined medical professionals. And I think it was his turn as a trauma surgeon in 1997’s Event […]
As self-driving cars become more ubiquitous, the rate of them being involved in accidents will likely increase. Though driverless cars, while closer to becoming reality than ever before–were foretold pretty accurately about sixty years earlier in the British adventure series Department S (I assume that the ‘S’ stands for the first letter of the last […]
Seriously!? Is there some pent-up demand for a movie that puts the ‘monster’ literally into ‘monster trucks?’ And to be sure, no one knew for certain that the Transformers movies would be the massive hits (reasons to this day, for the most part, beyond my comprehension) they ended up being prior to them being released. […]
This is a surprisingly not-that-great a trailer, especially when you take into account that it’s for a Ridley Scott movie. For a start, the song that plays in the background is not only obnoxious, but ill-fitting. Then there’s the tone, which is hard to get a feel for. If the two things I already mentioned weren’t bad […]
What’s with Sony Pictures and the heavy space exploration theme they seem to striking? Last week they released Passengers, a movie where Chris Pratt decides that being alone for 90 years sucks so much that the best thing to do is to submit someone else to the very same fate. Their latest effort is Life, […]
I published a video earlier this week on YouTube reviewing Netflix’s The OA, which I thought was a pretty remarkable bit of television. I figure that I’d expand on what I said in the video, without spoiling the experience for people who haven’t seen it yet (besides, spoilers suck). Brit Marling wrote most of eight […]
Seriously? I guess that I shouldn’t be too 😱 that Hollywood is basing an entire movie on a concept as seemingly vapid as Emoji. The trailer reminds me vaguely of Pixar’s Inside Out, which if you’re going to be compared to something, is not a bad thing. Will I go to see it? Probably […]
A teaser trailer was released for Denis Villeneuve‘s Blade Runner 2049, the sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1982 original. Looking at the trailer, it–at least on the surface–seems to hold a lot in common with the original. Which is problematic in some ways because the first movie was very much lots of style with relatively little […]
