Postmortem: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
I admit that when I first saw Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey I thought that it was almost unwatchable.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Trailer
Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Teaser Trailer 3 I’ve included the teaser trailer for the upcoming third trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens partally because I still think it’s particularly douchy to make the trailer the event, as opposed to the movie. After all, we’re talking about Star Wars here. The hype for […]
What Is Going On With Ridley Scott And Prometheus?
Color me confused, but what’s going on with Ridley Scott and Prometheus?
Ejecta – Review
“The Darker Side Of Close Encounters.”
Transformers: Age of Extinction – Review
“What Kind Of Cars Are Those? They’re So Scary.” I didn’t make up that quote, by the way, it’s an actual line from the movie, which is problematic because NO ONE talks like that, particularly when there’re being chased by a bunch of assassins. Though the thing is, the actor who uttered the line, T.J. Miller, is always […]
Extraterrestrial – Review
The last film from The Vicious Brothers (who aren’t–biologically speaking–brothers) was the send-up of found footage reality shows, Grave Encounters. It was one of the better examples of the genre because it was able to take many of the tropes that come with it (How is it that no matter what or where something happens there’s […]
Terminator: Genisys – Trailer 2 & 3 (Japanese Trailer)
Till now I haven’t posted anything–that I can recall, at any rate–from the upcoming Alan Taylor-directed followup to Terminator: Salvation, Terminator: Genisys. Though I have a reason: Namely, I expect this movie to premiere with a small splash, and quickly vanish without a trace. It’s less a question of franchise fatigue that ham-handedness on the part […]
Review – Avengers: Age of Ultron
“For me, one of the signs of a good movie is that it rewards repeat viewing. Avengers: Age of Ulton fits the bill.” I’ve already reviewed Avengers: Age of Ultron here for Moviepilot, though I tend to be easily overwhelmed by spectacle–which this movie has in spades–so I saw it a second time, to better […]
Jurassic World – Trailer 2
I’m of two minds on the latest Jurassic World trailer. It goes without saying that there are some awesome moments, particularly when Owen Brady (Chris Pratt) is riding his motorcycle amidst a (Pack? Pride? Clutch?) of velociraptors. That being said, very little about the movie makes any sense. For instance, WHY ON EARTH would anyone genetically engineer […]
Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens : Teaser Trailer
I was thinking that I don’t particularly care about the upcoming Star Wars prequels, till I saw the crashed Star Destroyer in the desert…now I am getting a bit jazzed. Then there were the melty Darth Vader helmet (which looked like it was gone over a bit too much), new-style Stormtroopers, and various Jedi. I’m […]
