The Cell isn’t the first feature that John Cusack and Sam Jackson appeared in that’s based on a Steven King novel or short story. That honor would have to go to 1408, which came out in 2007; though unlike their last effort–which revolved around a haunted hotel room, which is more in the vein of The Shining–the […]
I think I want to see this movie. While the The Nice Guys looks like a typical Shane Black movie–The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight–that’s not necessarily a bad thing because those movies were a lot of fun. After all, it’s not like he’s is directing movies left and right (his last was Iron Man […]
And Yes, it’s as good as you hear it is. And there are ways to program against the box-office behemoth that is Captain America: Civil War, though pitting it against another superhero movie is probably not it. In other words, I’m saying Warner Bros moving Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice from the same release date was, […]
While I’m cobbling together a review for Captain America: Civil War–which won’t probably be ready before Saturday–I figured that I might as well write up something for Zoombies, which turned recently up on Netflix. Despite the title they’re no zombies present–of either the human or animal variety (though you probably noticed the extra ‘o’ in the title, which isn’t […]
I have no idea what Dawn of War III is like as a game–the first thing that popped into my head was that it looked an awful lot like StarCraft–though the trailer is pretty impressive. Apparently, armored humans are fighting orcs, while Evangelion-like warriors, who hang out in adobe niches, look out over the carnage. […]
Sometimes I find myself sympathizing with sharks. Imagine that one day you’re swimming about, doing whatever it is that you do–which for a shark consists primarily of swimming, eating and every once in awhile mating–when an unknown animal suddenly starts making a ruckus nearby. You have very keen eyesight and can smell blood in the […]
Take this with a HUGE grain of salt, but according to Superherohype Karl Urban is talking to venues like Netflix to continue the story of Judge Dredd in the television space. I have no idea if this is true, but it’s a great idea because Dredd, while underwhelming in theaters in 2012–financially speaking, because […]
Overall, Takashi Shimizu’s (The Grudge, The Grudge 2, Ju-on: The Grudge–see a trend here?) Flight 1750 is a pretty decent horror movie that’s interested more in the slow-burn approach to film making, as opposed to how much blood (CGI or otherwise) can be splashed about. And that’s not a bad thing because Shimizu knows his […]
If you haven’t heard, Netflix last week announced that a spinoff from Marvel’s Daredevil, featuring The Punisher, starring Jon Bernthal, is going straight to series. This is interesting, especially considering the denials from Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb early on. I enjoyed Frank Castle but I am left with a few questions.
I really like this trailer. When it begins, you could be excused for thinking that’s it’s a European remake of The Martian, but as the trailer goes on it seems to become something larger, and evokes a sense of the mystical more in common with 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Fountain more than it […]
