I wouldn’t call myself a fan of the Power Rangers–there are too many things that I can’t quite get my head around about them that get in the way, such as why is it that the lower section of their masks (which are actually helmets by the way) molded like the lower section of a […]
At this point, if you’re a Netflix subscriber you’ve probably already started watching Marvel’s Luke Cage (if you haven’t binged all 13 episodes, that is) so I don’t have any intention of spoiling it for you. Except to say that the series is damn good television; so good in fact that–which I mention in my […]
Lucy Besson, while a visually sumptuous director, is not a terribly original writer–which may have a little to do with him settling with John Carpenter over his 2012 movie Lockout, which was essentially Escape From New York aboard a space station. Lucy, directed by Besson in 2014, fared particularly well financially, though many considered the story (about […]

After thoroughly enjoying Marvel’s Luke Cage (review coming soon!) imagine my surprise to see a new trailer for Marvel and Netflix’s upcoming Iron Fist on Twitter. https://twitter.com/thebestofmarvel/status/783224733575839744 There’s no reveal (yet) of Iron Fist–which is a good thing–but it’s very mysterious and harkens back to the character’s origins. Pretty cool.
I mentioned a few posts ago that I wouldn’t be writing much about Marvel Studios’ upcoming Doctor Strange out of fear of spoilers, though I think that the new trailer is important for reasons I expand upon below. What I was wondering was how Marvel Studios’ upcoming Doctor Strange would add the levity, the light-heartedness that’s been crucial to […]
I have to admit that I didn’t expect this trailer to drop quite so soon (especially since my last post was for the movie poster). So here’s the trailer, and what’s interesting is that we get a lot of Javier Bardem and no Johnny Depp at all. Is that an artistic choice? Could it have […]
Disney released a teaser poster for the latest movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise: Dead Men Tell No Tales. This leads me to a confession: I haven’t watched ANY of the Pirates movies to completion. They’re big, sprawling examples of modern filmmaking, and they just don’t work for me. And I not sure why. Maybe […]
Antoine Fuqua, arguably one of preeminent action directors working today, has once again teamed with Denzel Washington, whom he worked with on Training Day in 2001 and The Equalizer in 2014 with his reboot of John Sturges’ 1960 Western, The Magnificent Seven. And it’s a good movie, though to call it ‘magnificent’ is a bit of hyperbole […]
While not strictly speaking ‘trailers,’ I don’t quite know where to put this latest crop of Doctor Strange motion posters. And while admittedly there’s less ‘motion’ than a curious melting around the abdomen, that’s technically motion too. Here’s Baron Mordo (that’s his name and not a title, honorary or otherwise, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) Might I offer you […]
