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 […]
If you’re a big fan of movies, particularly horror and sci-fi, you’ve probably taken a position on whether or not movies should use CGI (computer-generated imagery) or practical effects (which include prosthetics, animatronics, models and miniatures). Personally, I am a HUGE fans of practical effects. That being said, I understand that there are things that you […]
The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Underworld is being rebooted. It’s been eight years since first entry in the trilogy (and two since the last film, Underworld Awakening). And while I don’t necessarily think that eight years is a long time between reboots, at least it’s more than between the transition from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 to Marc […]
SPOILERS ABOUND! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST GO AWAY TILL YOU HAVE BECAUSE SPOILERS ARE LIKE LANDMINES. THEY’RE HIDDEN TILL YOU STUMBLE UPON THEM, THOUGH BY THAT TIME IT’S TOO LATE, AND SOMETHING IMPORTANT IS LOST.

A few days ago, I wrote a piece, Is Sony Mismanaging The Spider-Man Franchise, as part of the My Two Cents column. In that particular article I […]
I have no idea why someone called this a ‘red band’ trailer, which usually means that there’s an excess of something (typically violence acts or salty language). That being said, it is intense. Snowpiercer revolves around a world devastated by global warming, with the last vestiges of humanity existing aboard a train, Snowpiercer. Over time, the […]
I read last week on ScreenCrush that the producer of the X-Men films, Lauren Schuler-Donner, “is interested in taking that character (Mystique) into a solo film.” And if anyone were to ask me–and they haven’t–I would say, “Don’t do it.” That’s not coming from the perspective of a hater. I personally think that it would be […]
Just when you thought that those Spartans from Zach Snyder’s “300” were defeated, six years of so later comes “300: Rise of an Empire.” I assume that there’s another group of almost unconquerable warriors, once again squaring off against Xerxes (the guy in the golden underwear from the first film, who’s actually based on a […]
