Blizzard Entertainment, creator of games like StarCraft and WarCraft has recently introduced Overwatch, a new game with an interesting storyline revolving around a time in the future when wars have been ended by superpower operatives, ofne of which happens to be a talking, armored gorilla. It the cinematic-style trailer is to beloved, it’s going to be amazing. Though what’s more […]
No, DeepStar Six, isn’t the latest Ultramarionation feature from Jamie Anderson, but a undersea horror movie from Sean Cunningham (Friday the 13th) that was followed in quick succession by George P. Cosmatos’ Leviathan, and culminated five months later in James Cameron’s far superior The Abyss. DeepStar Six revolves around a US Navy mission to place an undersea […]
I am jonsin‘ for a entertaining horror movie. Recently two new ones from Blumhouse Pictures (The Conjuring, Insidious, Insidious 2, etc), Mercy and Mockingbird (review coming soon) turned up on Netflix, and to say that both were underwhelming would be an understatement. Though Blumhouse seems to be innovating in a genre all its own, which is hard […]
I have never been too into the Minions, those daffy pill-shaped things from Despicable Me and its sequel. As you can tell from the picture, whatever the goal the animators were aiming for, any sort of realism wasn’t one of them. That being said, what I find interesting is that, despite the fantastical nature of the […]
Don’t get me wrong, I think Neill Blomkamp is probably one of the most visually innovative directors working today. His films, despite taking place in an undefined future, always have a worn, grimy, lived-in look that’s almost the polar opposite found in other science fiction movies. Almost the anti-Kubrick, if you will and I for […]
I don’t get it. Joe Carnahan is a big-name director. Hell, he’s not only directed movies like The Grey, The A-Team and Smokin’ Aces but the last I heard he was executive producing the hit NBC show, The Blacklist. So how is it that his last movie, Stretch, seemed to bypass theatrical release entirely, and end up on […]
I caught Ouija last weekend, and it was okay; by which I mean that it wasn’t the worst movie I’ve seen (which barely qualifies as praise). It had moments of interest, though thematically as well as visually it played out eerily similar to movies like The Conjuring, Annabelle and Insidious (which were also produced by Blumhouse Pictures, which I hope […]
Alex Garland‘s (the writer of Sunshine, 28 Days Later, The Beach, etc) directoral debut, Ex Machina, looks at least superficially like it covers similar territory as Transcendence, though hopefully more successfully. That being said, I assume it’s only coincidence that Ex Machina feels very similar to another film that came out earlier this year, The Machine, the trailer which […]
Kevin Feige, you cheeky bastard. It appears that you pulled a fast one. When the trailer for The Avengers: Age Of Ultron was leaked prior to it appearing on Marvel’s Agent’s Of S.H.I.E.L.D. I assumed that that was the end of this story. Sure, Marvel Studios handed things pretty gracefully, but I thought it was […]
Marvel Studios has just released their production slate up to the year 2020, and it goes without saying that unlike their Distinguished Competition they did so not at a shareholder’s meeting, but at a press event dedicated for that purpose. Marvel, led my mastermind Kevin Feige, have announced a lot that will have fans of […]
