Here’s the latest trailer – thanks Deadline – that came from the same place as the latest “Pacific Rim” trailer. Which is CinemaCon, not Comic-con, by the way. In it Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is doing all sorts of stuff, much of it involving either his claws, or a threatening grimace. We finally get some shots […]
There are rumors that Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch are going to be in ‘Avengers 2,’ though I have to ask why, especially when they’re two of the most uninteresting characters – in my not-so-humble opinion – in the Marvel canon. Why don’t they go in another direction, and leave the Maximoffs to Fox (both […]
I assume that this footage for Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” is from the last Comic-con. It shows the most detail of the robots yet, as well as a bit of character development. And I can’t see why Michael Bay would ever be worried by ‘Rim,’ after all, if the trailers are to be believed, […]
Sometimes, you have to be cruel to be kind.
Sorry about the odd spacing issues. I have been working with an app that publishes to WordPress called Metropolis, which seems to be doing funky things with my spacing. There has been much in the news recently about Zach Braff financing his latest film, “Wish I Was Here” through Kickstarter. This is an issue that’s […]
Guillermo Del Toro rocks. Why, you ask? Sure, it has more than a little to do with him being the director of “Hellboy,” “Hellboy 2,” “Blade 2,” The Devil’s Backbone,” Pan’s Labyrinth, among others. It also has to do with tenaciousness, and following your dreams, no matter how bleak things may seem (it also never […]
I like Louis Leterrier as a director. His reboot of “The Incredible Hulk” captured the essence of the character without being as angsty as Ang Lee’s somewhat torutured version. He also seems to approach his projects with genuine passion for the subject matter. Then again, he also directed the reboot of “Clash Of The Titans,” […]
“”Oblivion” Is A Beautiful Film, Though Muddled Storytelling Almost Scuttle It.” When critics criticized Joseph Kosinski’s “Oblivion” for the ideas it borrows from other (often better) films, they weren’t kidding. Some instances fall more in the area of homage than outright theft, though there are moments, particularly the last half hour or so, that are so blatantly […]
“Hemlock Grove” is an oddly captivating series, less for its content – it lacks the blatant sexuality of “American Horror Story” as well as its hit-or-miss shock value – than the fact that Netflix is releasing it the same fashion as they did in the case of “House of Cards,” which is the entire series […]
