Doctor Strange Trailer This Tuesday!?

According to Comicbookmovie.com, the first trailer for Scott Derrickson’s (The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister, Deliver Us From Evil)  upcoming Doctor Strange will be released this Tuesday! As you can tell from Derrickson’s resume, he’s really into horror movies. And that’s a good thing because there’s always the chance that not only will Doctor Strange be scarier and weirder than […]

The BFG – Trailer

Seeing that The BFG is coming from Disney, Steven Spielberg, and the writing of Roald Dahl, it’s safe to assume that it doesn’t stand for ‘The Big Fucking Giants.’ And while there are indeed some pretty big giants, I am reasonably confident in saying that while there’s no sex of any sort, there is a whole […]

Is Batman v Superman A Failure? It Depends On How You Look At It

And the answer is a firm “Maybe.” To begin, let’s call our hypotheses, Scenario One and Two. Scenario One is the best case; Scenario Two…not at all. If your chief source of information is Box Office Mojo, then things can be interpreted somewhat optimistically. According to them, the movie is budgeted at $250 million.  That’s expensive, […]

Hardcore Henry – Trailer 2

I don’t mind video games from a first-person view, though since you’re actually playing, the conceit works and you’re engaged. In movies?  Not so much, especially since what you can see and hear of the protagonist will look and hear nothing like a large percentage of the people who will be watching this movie. It […]

Lights Out – Trailer

I kind of like the idea behind David F. Sandberg’s Lights Out, but I am not sure how it stands up to scrutiny.  After all, in the trailer the phantasm doesn’t appear in pitch darkness-which the title implies–but when there’s a nearby light source. This is an important distinction because my scariest moments tend to happen […]

Voltron: Legendary Defender – Trailer

Netflix is bringing back Voltron, though it appears that he might have got a demotion from being the ‘Defender of the Universe’ to a ‘Legendary Defender.’ I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the robot, though for some reason when growing up I thought that it was selfish that only one of the […]

Batman V Superman Reviews Are Coming In…

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice reviews have been filtering in for the last day or two, and while they’re not all terrible–after all, someone probably even liked Hitler’s paintings–they’re pretty disastrous considering that there are literally millions, if not potentially billions, riding on its success. I intend to catch it tomorrow, and will post a review as […]

A Hologram For The King – Trailer

I readily admit that Tom Twyker’s A Hologram For The King isn’t the type of movie that I typically go for, though there are a few things about it that pique my interest. First off, you have Tom Hanks reciting the lyrics for The Talking Heads “Once In A Lifetime, which is awesome. Then there’s Twyker himself, […]
