To be honest a live-action movie based Rudyard Kipling stories doesn’t particularly interest me, though seeing the trailer, it looks pretty awesome. The action looks great, and the CGI seems convincing though there’s only one problem I can see, namely that the voice actors are so recognizable that I found myself trying to find out who was […]
Few people watch movies to be preached to, though that’s not to imply that they can’t be a place to learn lessons of a moral nature. And if that’s your goal, it helps immensely to have an engaging story and fully-realized characters. Though what also as equally important is to not bludgeon viewers into submission […]
About a half hour ago I disassembled–then reassembled–my iMac. Seeing that I am just not that intellectually curious, I had to have a very pressing reason for doing so. And that reason is that I wasn’t going to pay anyone to do what I could do myself, with a little effort. What interests me about Get A […]
I meant to post the latest Gods Of Egypt trailer yesterday. I didn’t because I haven’t gotten around to changing my iMac’s hard drive–I don’t own any Torx screwdrivers, though I intend to remedy that over the weekend. As a result this is my first post made entirely on an iPad. From images […]
k.i.l.l.i.n.g. (though based on the tone of Deadpool‘s Valentine’s Day trailer, you’d be forgiven if you thought the latter). Both Deadpool and Suicide Squad seem to be exploring the darker sides of their prospective universes though if you ask me I think DC Films should thank whatever deity they worship that Fox’s entry is coming out six months […]
Can I say that John Hillcoat’s Triple 9 looks awesome? Heist/police thriller are a guilty pleasure of mine because when they’re done well, they’re a thing of beauty. In particular I enjoyed Bruce Malmuth’s Nighthawks (a Sylvester Stallone vehicle about a terrorist on the loose in New York, and the cops in pursuit of said terrorists), […]
For some reason Marvel Comics’ Punisher has been a difficult nut to crack–despite the fact that the character is essentially Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) from 1974’s Death Wish, a movie that went on to do pretty well at the box office. His first appearance was in New World Pictures 1984 movie The Punisher, and despite the criticism that surrounds that movie, […]
I just don’t get it; the whole ‘Angry Birds’ thing, that is. The game is the unfunniest thing I have come by–though Zach Scott feels the opposite–but I don’t see the point. The trailer looks cute though, and considering that the games don’t have characters that talk, the filmmakers clearly embellished things a tad. Now, if […]
A misfire? Sure, but hardly the monstrosity many have made it out to be.
I haven’t see any of the ‘Divergent‘ movies–and I blame the Hunger Games because all these movies based on Young Adult novels pretty much feel the same for me. And while that’s not quite fair, there’s undeniably a similarity between many of them. Which reminds me: I suggest that you see The Maze Runner if you haven’t […]
