The Houses October Built Is A Great Title In Search Of A Deserving Movie.” Can we stop with the found-footage movies already? Every since The Blair Witch Project started the trend in 1999–16 years ago–studios have been churning them out left and right. And there’s a logic, the most crucial point being that they’re relatively cheap to produce. […]
“The terror of The Babadook starts innocently, with a children’s book, though it will grow to possess you.” Every since I saw 2009’s Triangle, I knew that Australia was and up-and-comer as far as interesting and innovative horror goes, though Jennifer Kent‘s The Babadook certifies their arrival. It’s a pretty impressive movie, because–unlike many of its brethren, domestic or otherwise–it […]
“If you can make it through the entirely of Wolfcop, you’re a much better person than I am.” I tried, I really tried but I just couldn’t do it. What I failed so pointedly to do was to be able to watch Lowell Dean‘s Wolfcop from beginning to end, and tapped out after about 30-40 minutes. So many […]
Red costume, red costume, red costume. Did I mention that I REALLY want to see the red costume? Curse you, DeKnight! Curse you! And the worse thing is, I have already partially seen it–Curse you, Internet! Curse you to Hell!–but I can tell that they don’t do it justice. I thought that I should mention […]
Last episode, Melvin Potter went to work designing a costume for the Devil, because he told him that he would save whoever Fisk was threatening to keep him in thrall. And speaking of Fisk, he’s getting shit from all sides. Vanessa is poisoned in an attempt to get to him, and Karen Page ends up […]
In an attempt by an unseen enemy to get to Fisk, Vanessa Marianna (Ayelet Zurer) is injured. And it’s finally sinking into Murdock’s thick skull that he needs armor. This is the second episode that mentions it, so–considering that there are only two remaining in the first season–it’s highly likely that he’s either getting it in episode 12 or […]
Barely escaping Wilson Fisk with his life, the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen is discovered by Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), as is his secret identity as Matt Murdock! It goes without saying that Foggy is a bit pissed because he believes that everything he knows about Matt–who he’s known since college–is a lie. While Madame Gao […]
Shadows in the Glass is a very Wilson Fisk-centered episode, as Wesley (Toby Leonard Moore) thinks Nobu (Peter Shinkoda) is becoming a problem, while Det. Blake (Chris Tardio) is recovering from the gunshot that everyone thinks was done by Daredevil, though was actually initiated by Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio). Fisk wants Blake killed, and enlists his […]
A red ninja! It appears that Nobu (Peter Shinkoda) is becoming impatient with Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio), so Fisk offers him a deal: Get rid of the Devil that stalks Hell’s Kitchen, and he’ll get him what he wants. Which is a particular tenement, reasons unknown (though there may be a connection to Black Sky, whatever […]
This episode we meet Stick (Scott Glenn) in flashback–he’s the man who taught Matt Murdock/Daredevil his formidable fighting skills–and in the modern day. He’s in New York to attempt to enlist Matt’s aid in stopping Nobu (Peter Shinkoda), the right hand of Madame Gao (Wai Ching Ho) from bringing a mysterious shipment, known only as Black Sky, into […]
