The Abandoned is a pretty decent horror movie, though you have to be patient with it because the ending isn’t exactly the culmination of everything that came before. I don’t mean to imply that it’s badly made–it’s not–but it rewards you for paying attention. And I have to mention the movie’s cinematographer, Zach Galler, […]
I liked Andrew Nackman’s 4th Man out a lot because it’s less a dramedy about a guy, Adam (Evan Todd) who realizes that’s he’s gay and trying his best to deal with it–though that’s an important aspect–than the community of friends and relatives that surround him, and their reaction to his announcement. What makes this […]
And Yes, it’s as good as you hear it is. And there are ways to program against the box-office behemoth that is Captain America: Civil War, though pitting it against another superhero movie is probably not it. In other words, I’m saying Warner Bros moving Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice from the same release date was, […]
While I’m cobbling together a review for Captain America: Civil War–which won’t probably be ready before Saturday–I figured that I might as well write up something for Zoombies, which turned recently up on Netflix. Despite the title they’re no zombies present–of either the human or animal variety (though you probably noticed the extra ‘o’ in the title, which isn’t […]
I have finally uploaded my Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice review and as I say, it’s not a terrible movie, though it’s not that good either.
“Why didn’t you take off my mask?” –Daredevil “I don’t give a shit who you are.” –Frank Castle, aka the Punisher Those aren’t the words that begin the third episode of Daredevil’s Second season, though they might as well be because if there’s one thing that makes Frank Castle the most dangerous opponent Daredevil has ever […]
“Even has a code name.” “Like what? Kill-dozer? Or ‘dumbass with a gun?’” “Not quite. They’re calling this one ‘The Punisher.’” Or “Hold on. Sure I can’t get you anything else? You know, I’ve got it all, man. Yeah, bondage, backdoor, grannies, or maybe you’re in the market for something younger. She’s barely 12. Guaranteed.” […]
“Everytime I think we’ve seen it all, Hell’s Kitchen manages to sneak up and kick me right in the balls.” It’s apt that the first episode of Marvel’s Daredevil Second season is called ‘Bang’ because it almost literally begins with one. New York is experiencing record high temperatures and tempers are flaring along with the heat. […]
“”Vengeance Shall Be Hers” But Frustration Will Be Yours.”
Few people watch movies to be preached to, though that’s not to imply that they can’t be a place to learn lessons of a moral nature. And if that’s your goal, it helps immensely to have an engaging story and fully-realized characters. Though what also as equally important is to not bludgeon viewers into submission […]
