I Sing The Body Elektra
Sure, the actual lyric is “I sing the Body Electric,” but once you take a look at the new Marvel’s Daredevil trailer featuring Elektra (Elodie Yung) you’ll see why my version is a bit more apropos.

Pete’s Dragon – Official Trailer# 1
Pete’s Dragon was a Disney movie made in 1977 that–like other Disney movies at the time–was a mixture of live action and hand-drawn animation. Think of it as the CGI of its time. What about the new version? Looking at the trailer, I Initially thought that I was revisiting The Jungle Book, which also revolves around a […]
Discovering A Relic Within A Cabinet Of Curiosities
Peter Hyams’ 1997’s creature-feature, The Relic, was a pretty good movie. It featured Tom Sizemore (despite his personal foibles, the man’s a damn good actor) as Lt. Vincent D’Agosta, who had to stop a mysterious killer who’s MO was beheading. He follows the bodies to–if I recall–The Museum of Natural History, where something monstrous has returned home. And it’s a good movie, […]
The Darkness – Official Trailer #1
The primary reason I don’t believe in ghosts–besides never having seen one–is that if tragedy/violence of some sort is the reason for them being, then we’d be literally stumbling over them at virtually every step. Think about it for a moment: If you take even a cursory glance at the history of any country, you won’t have […]
Tron Lives!
Sort of… When Disney cancelled Tron 3 a lot of people were probably convinced–and rightly so– that they had seen the last of Flynn, Quorra, Clu and the other denizens of the Grid (last seen in 2010’s Tron: Legacy). It appears that that may not be the case after all because–while there’s still no traction on Tron […]
Marvel’s Daredevil – Season 2 – Official Trailer – Part 1 – Trailer
Marvel Television, in the shows that they have made for Netflix–so far we’ve seen Jessica Jones and Daredevil, soon to be followed by Luke Cage and Iron Fist and culminating in The Defenders–have created some of the most addictive television in recent memory. It’s worth mentioning that since you’re getting an entire season all at once, most viewers are […]
Postmortem: The Fury (1978)
I am mystified why Brian DePalma’s The Fury (based on the novel by John Farris) hasn’t been remade because not only would the movie benefit from a more timely interpretation (in these days of government programs we often don’t completely understand, but fear a reboot could potentially find a very receptive audience) and a more […]
Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising Official Trailer #1
Do you think when film makers cast Zac Efron in roles where he appears in various states of undress–which seems to happen so often that at this point it might be written into his contract–that they’re aiming for the Gay Male or the Female audience? Then again, if we were to look at it with […]
The Purge 3: Election Year – Trailer
You can’t say that James DeMarco’s Purge movies aren’t ambitious. The first in the series was essentially a high-concept home invasion thriller with horror overtones. The sequel, The Purge: Anarchy took the home invasion idea, and introduced it into a city-sized canvas. This was the movie where you can see inklings of a political consciousness to the barbarous […]
(Bruce) Wayne’s World
I didn’t particularly like the first two trailers for Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice because they’re both filed with much bombast and thunder–as far as I can tell–signifying very little. And I might be reading into things a bit, but if feels as if director Zach Snyder equates blowing things up with seriousness, which if that […]
