Jurassic World – Trailer 2

I’m of two minds on the latest Jurassic World trailer.  It goes without saying that there are some awesome moments, particularly when Owen Brady (Chris Pratt) is riding his motorcycle amidst a (Pack?  Pride?  Clutch?) of velociraptors. That being said, very little about the movie makes any sense.  For instance, WHY ON EARTH would anyone genetically engineer […]

Fantastic Four – Trailer

Josh Trank‘s Fantastic Four just released a trailer, and its…okay.  All the elements are there, but it’s coming on the heels of  trailers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens (still hate that subtitle), Ant-Man and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, so it’s easy to see why it’s a bit underwhelming at this point. As I said, […]

The Babadook – Review

“The terror of The Babadook starts innocently, with a children’s book, though it will grow to possess you.” Every since I saw 2009’s Triangle, I knew that Australia was and up-and-comer as far as interesting and innovative horror goes, though Jennifer Kent‘s The Babadook certifies their arrival. It’s a pretty impressive movie, because–unlike many of its brethren, domestic or otherwise–it […]

Iron Man vs. Ultron

“I’m glad you asked that because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan.” Brilliant writing.  It plays on the cliche of movie villains always monologuing, when they should be instead either killing/kicking the ass of whomever they happen to be fighting. James Bond villains are notorious for this (particularly pre-Daniel Craig). […]

Wolfcop – Review

“If you can make it through the entirely of Wolfcop, you’re a much better person than I am.” I tried, I really tried but I just couldn’t do it. What I failed so pointedly to do was to be able to watch Lowell Dean‘s Wolfcop from beginning to end, and tapped out after about 30-40 minutes. So many […]

The New Ant-Man Trailer

Whomever cut this clip deserves some sort of award because it’s THAT GOOD. No longer exclusive to Marvel.com–here’s the new trailer for Marvel’s Ant-Man. And it’s glorious.  It has humor, great special effects, and manages to walk that slippery slope that respects the character, while at the same time acknowledging how silly the story actually is. […]
