What is it with Matt Damon and comments and/or activities of a racially-dubious nature? First there were the comments made during his and Ben Affleck’s HBO series–now cancelled–Project Greenlight, where Damon finds diversity okay, as long as it’s in its place. If I recall, that happened sometime last year (or earlier this year). Now Damon […]
Contrary to what some people say 2014’s Ouija–based on the Hasbro board ‘game‘; And before you say it, Yes. that spooky-ass thing is an actual game–wasn’t a bad movie more than it was a ‘Meh’ movie. And that’s coming from someone who had the misfortune of paying to see it. It took what should have been terrifying–Ouija, […]
Why does the latest poster for Marvel’s Doctor Strange remind me of the poster for Martin Scorsese’s Hugo? Looking at the two posters, I think it has more to do with some of the color scheme–lot’s of golden yellows and blues–more than anything else. It’s also been confirmed by Scott Derrickson that Doctor Strange will […]
Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez’s 1999 movie The Blair Witch Project was an aberration–a successful one, but an aberration nonetheless–that has DNA that leads not only to low-budget horror features like the Paranormal Activity movies but an entire studio, Blumhouse Pictures, built on the model. And a very successful model it is. The last movie in Blumhouse’s Purge trilogy […]
I have to admit that I enjoyed the first trailer for Zach Snyder’s Justice League. but if I say I weren’t concerned I’d be lying. Reason being, he had two chances to make movies based on Batman and Superman. The first attempt, Man of Steel is enjoyed by many, but in its way is as […]
Gotta admit, I like the logo though it’s especially good to see because for awhile there were members of the online community that were saying that a series based on Iron Fist wasn’t going to happen. That being said, Finn Jones? That’s not even that I think Jones is a bad actor–I’ve heard that he’s […]
For fans of Marvel Television and their work with Netflix, ComicCon 2016 is as close to nirvana as you’re likely to get because that’s where they premiered the teaser trailer for The Defenders, a street-level super team in the vein of the Avengers. They will consist of Daredevil (which has been renewed for a third […]
When I heard all the brouhaha over Paul Feig’s reboot of Ivan Reitman’s 1984 Ghostbusters I didn’t quite understand what it was all about; beyond the obvious, such as recasting the leads as women. You see, because while I enjoyed the original movie, it didn’t make much of an impression on me. And Brendan Mertans Ghostheads didn’t […]
Independence Day isn’t the only movie that’s enjoyed a ‘resurgence’ as of late. Most recently, Godzilla has joined to club with Godzilla: Resurgence And I honestly think that you see more of Godzilla in the trailer than you do in the entirety of Gareth Edwards’ 2014 eponymously named movie. That being said, as much as […]
I think that Warner Bros, possibly with the exception of the upcoming Suicide Squad is terribly mismanaging their DC Films relationship (and Yes, I include the upcoming Wonder Woman in that estimation as well)–like Fox is doing with the X-Men franchise, only less successfully. But Antoine Fuqua’s The Magnificent Seven? With Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt? Money […]
