“Entertaining, in that singularly unique Spike Lee way.” Spike Lee is a fascinating director, for better or for worse. By which I mean, the trip isn’t always the most leisurely, though if you’re prescient enough to see where he’s trying to take you, you find yourself the better for it. Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, the movie that he […]
You know what? I honestly think that Tom Cruise is a bit of a nut, and the feeling of well-being he often attributes to his faith are more than likely the insulating effects of money and influence. That been said, you have to give the guy credit because most any other actor–with the possible exception of […]
Part of what makes Netflix (and services like Hulu) so awesome is that whenever you see a series, no matter when it was actually released, it’s new to you. Having recently watched Keir Gilchrist in Dark Summer I was impressed enough with his performance to seek out more of his work, so when I learned that […]
If the latest trailer for Warner Bros. upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is any indicator, it embodies what irritates me about what I have seen of the DC Cinematic Universe (So far, that’s just Man of Steel). It feels that the heroes that make it up, Superman in particular, just doesn’t get the […]
Gotta admit that the Suicide Squad trailer looks pretty good. My hopes drooped for a moment when I saw Will Smith during the snowy street scene (which looked very cheap, and was clearly shot in a studio), then rose in my esteem pretty quickly.
I have officially reached the point of trailer saturation–when a trailer starts to reveal more information than I am comfortable knowing, as far as Ant-Man is concerned, at any rate. Like when Hulk caught Iron Man during the first Avengers–which was featured prominently in the trailer–I honestly don’t want any more surprises, no matter how small […]
What the hell is a ‘sharktopus,’ you might ask? It’s a cross between a shark and an octopus, and while combining either of those two creatures should have nothing to do with it moving about on land–like it does in the trailer–you have to admit that it’s pretty interesting. It’s also proof that despite the […]
“”Dark Summer” Isn’t The Season Horror Fans Are Waiting For (Though It’s Still Better Than “Ouija”).” Watching Dark Summer you can tell that the filmmakers thought that they were onto something special, and I can understand why. The movie has some beautiful cinematography and is shot and edited in a manner designed to heighten atmosphere and tension. Keir Gilchrist plays […]
Ah, that’s the way they’re going to go! For awhile I was wondering how AMC brass were going to approach the upcoming AMC partner series to their critical and ratings darling, The Walking Dead. Now I get it. It seems that the upcoming spinoff will spend most of its time dealing with the beginning of the zombie threat, […]
The reviews have started coming, and so far they’re looking pretty good. IGN and Comicbookmovie are very positive (in some instances gushingly so. The latter calls Ant-Man “Easily one of the top Marvel movies to date.”). Though things aren’t all rosy, because Alsono Duralde, from The Wrap says, “Ant-Man serves up jokes that don’t land and thrills that […]
