Truth be told, I am neither a huge Star Wars fan (beyond the first film and its sequel, The Empire Strikes Back) nor too interested in J.J. Abrams as a director (way too many lens flares). That being said when video of the Millennium Falcon is posted, you repost it. Because “when you’re nose to nose […]
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 […]
Bob Woodruff, Jr. and Alec Gillis of studioADI, the practical special effects house behind a lot of your favorite movies, including the Predator and Alien films, as well as the upcoming Kickstarter-funded practical horror film, Harbinger Down) are two men that clearly enjoy their work. You can see the devotion and craftsmanship that their effects shop brings to […]
For the one or two of you that have seen James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy, this is the scene at the end (not the ‘button,’ or ‘stinger,’ only a tool would spoil that), and part of the reason why this is, so far, quite the most innovative Marvel movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). […]
The Invaders is a television series that originally aired in 1967, and lasted for two seasons. It revolved around a man, David Vincent (Roy Thinnes) who on the way home from work saw an alien spacecraft. He then spent the rest of the series tracking down the aliens, who have been behind numerous plots to gain a foothold […]
A few months ago I misread that prospects of Disney’s Maleficent, so I have been a bit leery about trying to predict the success of films that I don’t care for (in other words, just because I don’t think much of Angelina Jolie as an actress doesn’t mean that the films she stars in will necessarily […]
My God, This Trailer Looks Really Bad Origin, the video service from EA, is offering a copy of Wing Commander 3: Heart of the Tiger for free. I haven’t played the game before, though I did see the movie based on the video game franchise. It had some interesting special effects and spaceships (and David Suchet, […]
Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy opened in the United States last week, and looks to have a very bright future, seeing that based on advanced buzz along, Marvel has already locked in a sequel for 2017 while Thursday it earned $11.2 million, besting established franchises like The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Transformers: Age of Extinction and […]
It’s That’s Good. You’re Welcome. Let’s be clear about something: James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy should not have worked, at least as well as Gunn (who co-wrote the screenplay with Nicole Perlman and directed) and Marvel Studios obviously think (and it’s clear that they are optimistic because based on early reviews a sequel as already been […]
Originally I was going to open things up with the trailer for 50 Shades of Gray, but let’s be honest: I don’t care about that movie, and if you’re reading this blog you probably don’t either. And not that anyone asked, but–since I am being honest–the best thing that could have happened to Charlie Hunnam […]
