Here’s the movie poster for Joseph Kosinski’s upcoming “Oblivion.” I like the whole post-apocalyptic vibe, though what I assume to be a spacecraft in the lower right side of the poster looks way too over-designed. Then again, that could be because I am accustomed to space craft that look like he USS Cygnus from Disney’s […]
While I have to admit that I liked this trailer, what bothered me a bit was that it–the trailer–felt somehow familiar, as if I had seen it before. Seeing that I am too broke to have any connect to either Bad Robot (J.J. Abrams’ production company) or Paramount Pictures, I have no idea why. Then […]
I have been saying for the longest time that the sequel to Joseph Kosinski’s 2010 film “Tron: Legacy” was going to happen, and it appears that we are closer than ever. According to Superherohype, a new writer is on the project, and Disney wants to move forward sooner rather than later. Choosing a new writer isn’t […]
Like most people, it disturbs me to read about some of the terrible things that we do to each other, though what grows old fast is the way that we always seem to find something to blame our problems on–as opposed to ourselves, that is. For instance, things like video games, movies, music and television […]
This has got to be one of the most violent trailers I have seen in a while. The aforementioned violence is cartoony, but pretty relentless, though what’s most interesting is that the person that showed it to me was probably ten or 11 years old, which concerned me somewhat. That is, till I remembered that […]
Why does this movie not–so far, at any rate–move me? Maybe it was the first teaser trailer, which reminds me of a fabric softener commercial. Now we have a poster, courtesy of Superherohype, and I am even less interested. It has Superman in cuffs, being led who knows where, when you know full well that […]
When I read that Guillmero Del Toro was abandoning his passion project, a movie based upon H.P. Lovecraft’s “At The Mountains Of Madness” partially because Universal decided that a movie like “Battleship” would be a better investment (that’s not quite fair. I have no idea if Universal financing “Battleship” had anything to do with them […]
Michael Bay is rebooting the Transformers franchise, with Mark Wahlberg replacing Shia LaBeouf, though I am not entirely sure the casting change will make a whit of difference. That’s a pity because, if another director were to take the helm, it’s quite possible that we would get something new and engaging this time around. And […]
Many movies, to compete in a very competitive market, market their films in ways that go beyond the traditional. For instance, for 2010’s “Tron: Legacy” the makers of the film had a campaign that led the inquisitive to FlynnLives.com and as a reward let them see a light cycle before the general public. I don’t want […]
If you have not seen “American Horror Story,” or “The Sentinel” but want to with an open mind–or just hate spoilers–read no further. I have been watching the first season of Ryan Murphy’s and Brad Falchuk’s “American Horror Story” recently, and while I have been enjoying it–despite its tendency to be very emotionally overwrought–I have come to notice […]
