This trailer for Bong Joon Ho‘s Snowpiercer turned up on the Interwebs a few hours ago, and it’s interesting for what it doesn’t show more than watch it does. By which I mean, action is emphasized heavily in virtually every scene and very little else (though the actress whom I assume is Tilda Swinton with false […]
Let’s be clear: Peter Yates’ Krull isn’t a particularly good movie, but it is an awesome one and easily deserving of a remake to correct the problems–which I will go to in a moment–that are there. How can one movie be two seemingly contradictory things? Mediocre and awesome at the same time? Quite easily. Visually, Krull […]
It’s all over the Interwebs that Edgar Wright (Shawn Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End) has left Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man over “creative differences.” While I think that this wasn’t a great move on Wright’s part–Marvel Studios movies tend to be huge, virtually guaranteeing that their whomever directs one of them access to bigger and better things, […]
Before Gareth Edwards directed Godzilla for Legendary and Warner Bros. he did a little (it cost $500,000, which is more in line with the catering budget of a movie these days) movie called Monsters, which was what put him on the map. Seeing that the former has just been released on Netflix and I haven’t yet seen […]
The full trailer is coming in three days. You’re Welcome.
I stopped watching the CW’s Arrow because (though intend to give it another try at some point) the producers reinterpreted some interesting characters, such as the Royal Flush Gang, in a manner that meant that they were the Royal Flush Gang in name only, reduced to a bunch of thieves with a playing card motif and no special […]
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 […]
Lawrence Fishburne is not only an awesome actor, but he also has one of the most distinctive voices in movies. Like James Earl Jones, who voiced Darth Vader in the ‘Star Wars’ films, I honestly think that his voice adds value–and I mean literally. I don’t know of any studies to buttress my point, but I […]
Ridley Scott, even when his films are sort of silly, like “Legend,” look absolutely remarkable. He has an eye that manages to catch the smallest details, but his ear for nonsensical story beats is not quite so acute. For instance, while “Prometheus” was gorgeous to look at, but if you give it any sort of consideration, […]
The first I heard of Ruairi Johnson was from the the short movie “The Silent City,” which was awhile ago. At the time I though that he had a very interesting vision, kind of dark (I don’t mind nihilism, though a little goes a long way) and atmospheric. I didn’t hear of any projects from his since, so I […]
