Over the years, there have quite a few Batmobiles, with the vehicle changing whenever a new director helmed the franchise. For instance, here’s the Batmobile that appeared in the Tim Burton film. The next version is Joel Schumacher’s. It’s a bit garish though there’s no denying that it’s a dynamic-looking vehicle. Schumacher, if I recall, […]
Hollywood is now talking about rebooting George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead,” which doesn’t necessarily need it, if you give it any thought. That being said, I am not against it (as I tend to be) because the original is a good film, but also a product of its time, which was 1968. So perhaps […]
Not sure what to think of “That Awkward Moment.” It looks amusing (though truth be told it’s a 2 minute 9 second trailer. In that time I could probably cut an amusing Schindler’s List trailer) but I am getting a “New Girl” type of feeling. By which I mean you have two white guys and […]
“”Jack Reacher” is a competent thriller, held back by the ego of its lead.” Christopher McQuarrie‘s “Jack Reacher” (based on the books by Lee Child) isn’t a bad movie by any stretch. It’s well-done and surprisingly clever at times. It also has some great fight scenes, though the film has a big problem. And it’s […]
I am not sure how this is supposed to play, and the trailer is a bit too revealing at times. That being said, I have to admit that I am fascinated. Forrest Whittaker – who was for the most part wasted in Kim Jee-Woon’s “The Last Stand” – plays Angel Sanchez, who comes to rely […]
I don’t know quite what to make of this. If the whole cosplay (which has always sounded like some sort of sexual practice to me) phenomena has taught us anything, it’s that there are fans of movies and then there are uber-fans. They get bold-faced type because they devote, in many instances, massive amounts of time to […]
Just when you thought that HIV was the scariest thing you could contract sexually, it now looks like you might have to add sexually transmitted zombification to that list. Here’s the trailer for “Contracted,” and good luck out there.
It’s funny that, despite my appreciation for anime, I have never been a fan of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki. He’s clearly influential, but I haven’t yet sat through any of his productions. Perhaps I’ll give them another try. Here’s the trailer for his latest, “The Wind Rises.”
As far as I was aware, the only footage of Edgar Wright’s “Ant-Man” were either storyboards, one of which I have included below, crude FX tests (which I have not) or pirated footage that also looked pretty bad. Imagine my surprise to learn that Machinima posted a really comprehensive view of the trailer already (perhaps […]
I am always on the lookout for good sci-fi, so imagine my surprise to find a Tweet from Peter Hyoguchi. He’s created a web series called “The New Kind.” It takes place in a dark, dystopian future, where the greatest hope for us all lies in some young people that happen to be the next […]
