Team Cap Trailer I have to admit that I am warming up to the whole “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” chant (and for editorial purposes I also admit that I am all about Team Cap, despite that the awesome-looking Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) is on Team Iron Man). In commemoration to the trailer that’s going […]
I was speculating a few weeks ago about about how happy I would be if in the upcoming second season of Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix–coming in ten days, but who’s counting!–the Punisher (Jon Bernthal) wore his iconic skull like in the comics. Though I foresaw a problem, namely that the reality-based nature of the Marvel Television/Netflix […]
You might thing that I was intending to wright ‘Zombies,’ but if you did you probably weren’t aware that this is from The Asylum. Zoombies is not about the typical–zombies have become so mainstream that I can write that without a bit of irony–undead but instead zombified animals at a safari park that begin to […]
Cynthia Mort’s Nina–a movie that revolves famed chanteuse Nina Simone’s often turbulent life–is not the type of movie that is typically of interest to me, though what I find fascinating is why Zoe Saldana was cast in the role–especially considering the brouhaha over Gods Of Egypt and Aloha. And sure, I get it that Saldana is in the position to […]
I have to admit that I was feeling a bit lukewarm about the new Ghostbusters. My biggest issue was that the casting of an all-female team seemed like a less than organic move by the filmmakers than one apparently designed to placate people who believe that movies should be more diverse. And movies should be more diverse, of […]
With the 2016 Academy Award season just ended, and many already anticipating next years Oscar’s host as well as nominees, one can be reasonably sure that films–let’s call them ‘movies’ because there’s something a bit pretentious, Spielbergian and Hitchcockian about ‘film’–like London Has Fallen won’t be on the receiving end of the Academy’s largesse. And in some ways that’s understandable–looking at the […]
The quote “What goes up, must come down,” has been attributed to Issac Newton, though apparently no one told Bob Iger over at Walt Disney because two of his studios, Pixar and Marvel Studios, spend most of them time defying gravity, with releases that consistently break box office records. Though maybe Newton got it right […]
As far as superhero movies goes, it could almost be considered a Golden Age. And despite what some may say, so far ‘superhero fatigue’–if the millions being pulled in by Deadpool are any indication–is nothing more than something writers come up with because they don’t have anything else to say. And speaking of superheroComing up later this […]
The only problem with this clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live is that it runs a bit long, hitting viewers over the head with something that would have worked much better with a lighter touch. That being said, Kimmel brings up a good point, namely who doesn’t wonder when watching movies like Man Of Steel, when […]
Olly Blackburn’s Kristy is one of the better home invasion thrillers, except in this instance the ‘home’ in question is an entire college campus, empty but for a skeleton staff and Justine (Haley Bennett), who’s planning on staying on campus over the Thanksgiving holiday. Unfortunately for Justine and everyone else, a cult of religious zealots have […]
