There’s a new Thunderbirds series coming from ITV, which is a good thing. The not-so-good-news is that the Anderson estate has nothing to do with it (if Jamie Anderson has a connection, he’s not telling), though perhaps that’s counterbalanced by Jonathan Frakes also having nothing to do with it, considering the mess that he made of […]
If you’re like me, when you think ‘Christmas’ you also think ‘horror,’ you’re in luck because Netflix has one of the better alien abduction movies, Scott Stewart‘s Dark Skies. What makes it work is that it, unlike most movies of this particular genre, spends its time letting us get to know the family that is under siege […]
If you’ve seen Guardians Of The Galaxy, The Avengers or any of the Thor, Captain America or Iron Man movies, you’re familiar with the work of Marvel Studios. Their approach to television have been a bit more tentative. Currently they have only one show, Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. (MAOS) on ABC (Disney owns both Marvel Studios […]
If I can get one thing for Christmas it will be that Will Farrell NEVER appears nude–or semi-nude, for that matter–in movies ever again. His sense of shamelessness and boldness are to be applauded, but he’s not exactly easy on the eyes. Doughy and the antithesis of athletic, Chris Evans he’s not. In any case, […]
Typically, Spider-Man would be the one doing the saving, but even Spidey is powerless against studio executives who don’t have any real understanding of what they’re doing. And what many commenters–I mean you, AMC Movie Talk in particular–seem to be missing about the mess that’s stemmed from the Sony email dump is not that the executives involved are […]
Isn’t it remarkable what a few days can bring? A few weeks ago, a thriller like Michael Mann‘s Blackhat–a movie that revolves around about Nicholas Hathaway (Chris Hemsworth) a cyber criminal released from prison to counter the threat of a cyber terrorist with the ability to bring a nation to its collective knees–would probably have been an […]
“”Don’t Blink” is a pretty interesting twist on an alien invasion story.” Travis Oates‘ Don’t Blink could have been one of the better horror films to come along in quite awhile, if not for one pretty significant problem, which I will go into in a moment. Though the issue isn’t that it’s a bit of a slow burn, […]
In my seemingly never-ending search for some entertaining movies of the horror variety, I found the trailer for Christopher Denham‘s Preservation. Things seem to start relatively simple: three people go camping, before some vaguely threatening weirdness starts. We can’t tell who’s behind it, but considering one of the brothers on the trip is played by Pablo Schreiber […]
Mad Max: Fury Road is the latest from George Miller, though so much time has passed since the last movie–twenty-nine years ago–that I wonder how many people will actually remember the character. That being said, I get the feeling that with Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron starring that they’re popular enough to overcome the fact […]
There is no doubt that Gerry Anderson, the creator of iconic series like The Thunderbirds, Terrahawks, UFO, Space: 1999 and Space Precinct, is a creative genius. That being said, I don’t think that he ever really grasped the potential of the Internet, as a creative avenue to enhance his existing series, or introduce new ideas, […]
