Neil Marshall by my reckoning has never been a particularly innovative director though he’s always managed to take a familiar subject and make it feel somewhat novel. The first time I noticed this tendency was with Doomsday, which I enjoyed but bit also seemed to be mimicking George Miller; not so much that it wasn’t […]
It’s believed that Warner Bros/New Line Pictures’ Black Adam will cross the $300 million mark this weekend, which initially sounds like really good news. That is, till you take into account that the Dwayne Johnson-starrer is running out of steam, and so far hasn’t earned enough to break even (considering its production budget is somewhere […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman has been renewed for a second season! This is really good news because despite appearing to do well, appearing in Netflix’s Top Ten for numerous weeks, the series was supposedly quite expensive and when combined with their famously opaque system of determining whether or not something […]
Which genuinely surprises me because I thought it was pretty safe to assume that the movie would go directly to streaming though The Hollywood Reporter has another tale to tell. Apparently a theatrical release is happening via Fantom Events, which makes me wonder who they’re expecting to see it because I’ve don’t see it as […]
According the The Hollywood Reporter, Bryan Fuller is developing a series that will serve as a prequel to Friday the 13th, called ‘Crystal Lake,’ which begs the question: How is that supposed to work when the drowning of Mrs. Voorhees’ (Betsy Palmer) son triggered all the murder (because, unlike what most people probably think, initially […]
The last two episodes of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities are wonderful for entirely different reasons. Panos Cosmatos’ The Viewing – by my reckoning – revolves primarily around a very atypical alien invasion, though it so strongly embodies the stylistic flourishes he brought to movies like Beyond the Black Rainbow (2010) and Mandy (2018) […]
According to Comicbookmovie.com, Warner Bros/New Line’s Black Adam will soon cross the $100 million mark in the United States, bringing its box office worldwide to almost $167 million ($166,839,000). And that’s a lot of money, until you take into account two things. The first is that the movie had a 63% drop-off in its second […]
It’s interesting to me that a series overseen by Guillermo Del Toro, who has yet to get his interpretation of H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness off the ground, would have not only one, but two adaptations of Lovecraft-penned stories and they’re somehow the weakest episodes thus far. Though keep in mind that the […]
I thought the first two episodes of Cabinet of Curiosities were strong, but not outstanding. Don’t get me wrong, that’s not to imply that I didn’t like them on any level, though the first, Lot 36, didn’t quite come together as well as it could have. And in doing so, while it didn’t spoil the […]
I took a look at the first two episodes of Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities and it’s a great looking show, perhaps the most ambitious anthology series made for television. Which should be expected with Del Toro executive producing and having directors like Guillermo Navarro (a renown cinematographer who has worked on 50 feature […]
