The second episode of the bifurcated Second season of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” aired last night, and it’s quite possibly the best episode so far. “Triggerfinger” expands upon a theme not unique to, though more clearly evident in the prior episode, “Nebraska,” that, as dangerous a threat as the re-emergent dead are, they don’t hold […]
I asked a variation of this question before, in reference to Starz, and their airing of “Tron: Legacy.” Now it’s Netflix’s turn, which when I watch I expect to see a movie in its entirety, exactly as it was shown in theaters. So, imagine my surprise when I was watching Joe Dante‘s “The Howling”–quite possibly one […]
“If you value your very soul (or at least your hard-earned cash) see “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance” only from the relative safety of cable, Netflix or Redbox (when it’s available).” I wanted to like Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor’s “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance” because I thought that Mark Steven Johnson’s original film wasn’t […]
“Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter” is very high concept, though Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch, Day Watch, Wanted) is a director that I don’t find particularly interesting–which is a bit odd because I tend to enjoy the subject matter that he tends to make movies about–so I am not quite sure how I feel about this film. […]
While Sacha Baron Cohen is an acquired taste–I found “Bruno” a bit much, though “Borat” was fun–the man is definitely bold and seemingly fearless, which is why I think that “The Dictator” will at the very least be interesting. Then there’s the presence of Larry Charles–who I just learned isn’t the same person as Larry […]
There’s talk about a sequel, starring Will Smith, to Francis Lawrence’s version of Richard Matheson’s story, “I Am Legend,” which is an interesting since Smith’s character dies at the end of the film. Now, if the story takes place prior to “I Am Legend,” I could see the logic, though logic would dictate that Will Smith […]
Some people aren’t particularly deep or nuanced thinkers. I understand this, and that’s OK because it takes all types to make a world. The problems come when such people feel the need to get upon some type of pedestal and act as if they are privy to truths the rest of us mere mortals are […]
Yesterday’s return of “The Walking Dead” to AMC made cable ratings history, earning more than 7 million viewers. That being said, I am a bit torn. While I am glad to hear of it’s success–Heck, any show with zombies on a consistent basis I am glad to know is successful–though I still can’t quite get […]
“Frost is a man on fire, and God help anyone who gets in his way.” Denzel Washington has to be one of the most versatile leading men in Hollywood. In fact, I can recall no other actor in recent memory who’s so effortlessly able to move from corrupt–as Det. Alonzo Harris in “Training Day,” […]
Space: 1999 is being rebooted, if Deadline is accurate. I don’t know if Gerry Anderson will be involved, though I hope that he is. Anyone that has followed my blog knows that I have been following this project, in its various forms, since its inception, and I am glad to hear that there will potentially […]
