I have never been a huge player of video games, though recently I have been playing Penumbra: Requiem, and realized that enjoy it. I don’t own any video game systems, though when I see trailers for games like The Evil Within it makes me wonder if perhaps life would be just a little bit better with […]
What it is about werewolf movies? For every The Howling, An American Werewolf In London or Dog Soldiers, you get twelve Skin Walkers and lots of crummy Howling sequels. I don’t know know in which column David Hayter’s Wolves falls, but if the trailer is any indicator, lycantrophy is being used as a thinly-veiled allegory for a young man’s transition into […]
Gerry Anderson, the prolific British producer of shows like Space Precinct, UFO, Space: 1999, Terrahawks and Thunderbirds, died in 2012 but despite that fact he’s in a sense back with a new series, Firestorm, with the initial episodes being funded via Kickstarter. As I said, Anderson embarked upon the greatest adventure two years ago, though before […]
According to Robert Downey, Jr. Iron Man 4 is happening and truth be told I am a little torn by the decision. It’s a good thing because Downey, for millions of people (including this writer) embodies Tony Stark. It’s not such a good thing because Marvel has to know that they’re just delaying the inevitable. Originally […]
I don’t traditionally like to link to full movies but Prelude To Axanar is something special, and this is coming from someone who isn’t a huge fan of the Star Trek universe (as far as the televised series’ are concerned, I prefer Star Trek: Deep Space Nine most because Capt. Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) wasn’t above engaging […]
I know that I have written on the reboot of the The Town That Dreaded Sundown before, but since the original has just turned up on Netflix, I though I’d throw something together. If you’re into horror movies, it’s worth checking out because it’s a pretty good movie, though another reason is that if you intend […]
“”Pride” Is A Prime Example Of Why The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) Has Outgrew Its Usefulness.” It’s normal, as humans, to try to define the world around us in as concise a manner as possible. And it makes sense because when we were evolving as a species there were probably many instances where […]
After the mild letdown that was Annebelle, I am on the lookout for a really effective (read: scary) horror movie. I had my hopes on The Houses October Built–awesome title, by the way–till I learned that it’s made in the style of a found-footage movie, which implies that, at the very least, it’s not going to […]
“”Annabelle” has so much potential, most of which it doesn’t live up to.” I have seen some God-awful, cringe-worthy movies, which John Leonetti‘s Annabelle thankfully isn’t; though it is in a way worse because it had the potential to be so much more than it ended up being, which is a passable horror movie; a trifle that you almost […]
What has bothered me for a long time about a lot of Queer cinema is that it tends to be very white–in that it revolves around white people (generally males) with nary a person of color to be found. And Matthew Warchus‘ Pride doesn’t on the face of it seem any different. That being said, what […]
