Take note, Bryan Singer, this is how you do it! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: No body brings the destruction like Roland Emmerich (and I’m not suggesting for a moment that it has anything to do with him being German, though it can’t hurt). The sequel to 1996’s Independence Day […]
The most recent trailer for X-men: Apocalypse dropped yesterday, so I gave it a look. If you check out my last trailer review–posted below–you’ll see what I think about about X:Men: Apocalypse – Trailer 2 below. Looking at the third trailer, it feels like director Bryan Singer is playing in Roland Emmerich’s sandbox, and I am not […]
Paul Greenglass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum and Matt Damon are back with the further adventures of super spy Jason Bourne with Jason Bourne. Though what I find most interesting is if Greenglass and Damon can make Jason Bourne relevant in these days where characters like Captain America play […]
The strange thing about the latest trailer of Godzilla: Resurgence is that when you see the world’s most popular kaiju it feels like he turns up more in that small period of time than he did for the entirety of 2014’s Gareth Edwards-hemmed movie. That’s an exaggeration, though not as huge as you’d think considering […]
If there were a overarching theme to Time Enough At Last, the eighth episode of the first season of The Twilight Zone, it would have to be that no matter how bad things may at first seem, they can get much, much worse. After all, you have to keep in mind that about midway though the episode a […]
You’ve got to give it to Nicholas Winding Refn–he of the awfully cool name–who, visually speaking, is probably one of the most interesting directors working today. The way he uses color reminds me of Guillermo Del Toro, who also uses it to indicate a certain atmosphere and feel. So it goes without saying that the trailer is […]
With all the seriously positive buzz coming off of Captain America: Civil War you’d think that I would be all Marveled-out by now, but not at all because Marvel Studios also released a trailer for Scott Derrickson’s Doctor Strange last evening. And I really enjoyed it, so much so that I shot a reaction video […]
I admit that when I first saw Len Wiseman’s Underworld in 2003 I have to admit that I was impressed. Vampires and werewolves battling for domination, what’s not to love?
Off the top of my head, I think that I may have seen two Harry Potter movies, though the only one I remember is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (mainly because it was directed by Alfonso Cuarón, who did the remarkable Children of Men–one of those rare movies significantly better than the books that inspired them–more so than […]
I enjoyed J.J. Abrams’ interpretation of the Star Wars universe with The Force Awakens, but it felt too shiny, too clean. Now Rogue One feels like a Star Wars movie should. Or maybe it’s just seeing old school Star Destroyers and the original Death Star, though I think that it’s the grim tone, the grit and the […]
