For an ‘EVENT THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD’–emphasis their’s, not mine–I readily admit that I have never heard of this particular conflict in World War II, though I don’t know if that’s due to a failing of the American education system or a de-emphasis of it because it doesn’t seem to directly involve the United States. […]
Today Paramount Pictures released a new poster for Transformers: The Last Knight and it’s sort of awesome. Though the problem is that all the Transformers movies have had pretty awesome posters, despite the movies sucking (though I’m willing to give a pass to the first movie because we disn’t know any better though as profitable […]
What kind of title is ‘The Fate Of The Furious!?’ It sounds okay if we were talking about a Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western, not so much in the case of a movie about a bunch of people where cars are the main mode of transportation, not horses. F. Gary Gray (The Negotiator, The Italian Job) […]
Of the five original Planet Of The Apes movies, three–Planet Of The Apes (1968), Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970) and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) made a profound impression upon my then adolescent mind. Which is interesting because I can barely can recall either Escape from the Planet of the […]
A teaser trailer for Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Homecoming was released today, and having seen it I almost wish they hadn’t. First off, it has a very found footage type of feel (which is to say a bit cheap). Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, it ends with Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Tom Holland) exclaiming, “This is the coolest thing […]
I hate to say this about any movie, but Transformers: The Last Knight needs to fail (or at the very least, do not so quite so well) at the box office. And I want that to be the case for the best possible reasons, namely the movies have so far been terrible, and apparently nothing else […]
1.Fox Remembered Way Too Late That These Characters Were Based On Comicbooks If you recall The original X-Men movie their costumes were black leather, which was probably done because the producers thought that audiences wouldn’t accept superheroes in all their technicolor, spandex-clad glory. And at the time, they were probably right. Though times change–though thankfully not […]
I can’t wait to see Spider-Man: Homecoming, partially because Tom Holland gave a winning, enthusiastic performance in Captain America: Civil War, but also because the movie is being produced by Marvel Studios along with Sony Pictures, which at least holds out the hope that he will be treated more faithfully than has recently been in […]
With Netlix enabling subscribers the ability to download content it brings to mind more questions than answers. For instance, I assume downloaded content must ‘expire’ after a certain period of time. Using iTunes as an example, if I were to download a movie I would only have two or three days to watch it if […]
Since joining Lego Ideas five years ago, the user known as King_Arthur has created other projects, but none has attracted as much attention as his most recent, which is a Lego-ized version of the Eagle Transporter from Gerry Anderson’s Space: 1999. Here is his version below, and I think you’ll agree it’s a pretty faithful reproduction. […]
