I don’t quite know what an “Exclusive Official Trailer” is though I have to admit that I really want to see Jiu Jitsu because – while it doesn’t look particularly good – it does look damn interesting. It’s very much Predator (1987), combined with Mortal Kombat (1995) with a smidge of (the extremely underrated) Without […]
Dune Drifter looks interesting despite having a poster that looks just like that of Mad Max, except from a different angle and from the back. And who isn’t aware of the 900-lb gorilla that is Dune? Then there’s the fact that the story of Dune Drifter is more than a little bit reminiscent of Wolfgang […]
Netflix’s Away isn’t anything you haven’t seen before – especially if you’ve seen Another Life just a year earlier – though it relies on a stronger supporting cast to get the crew of the Atlas to Mars than that the latter movie employed to get them somewhere (it’s been awhile since I saw Another Life. […]
Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman’s Project Power is a superhero-adjacent Netflix movie starring Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishback. I write “adjacent” because while the movie revolves around people with super powers no one’s running around anywhere with capes, non de plumes or anything like that. The story revolves around a new drug on […]
I’ve never been a Star Trek fan, not really. Sure, I grew up watching Star Trek but that was more due to the fact that there was nothing else available. It’s the same reason I watched Lost In Space. I didn’t love it, particularly the later episodes, which were often silly, but it was also […]
I was thinking as I watched the first three episodes of Snowpiercer–based on the 2013 movie directed by Bong Joon Ho (The Host, Parasite), in turn based on the French graphic novel, Le Transperceneige–I wondered why would anyone make a continuing series based on it? That’s not to say that TNT’s interpretation is bad–in the […]
H.G. Wells’ War Of The Worlds has to be among one of the most adapted science fiction novels ever written. I can recall seven off the top of my head–including the subject of this post–though I’m reasonably certain there’re a few that have escaped my notice. This version takes place in various countries in Europe–of […]
I recently saw Alita: Battle Angel (or as I like to call it: Battle Angel: Alita) and while I’m unfamiliar with the anime it’s based upon I have to say that that there’s something…off about it. It has everything it needs to be an event… but somehow it’s not. Everyone behind the camera, from James […]
Jon Turteltaub’s The Meg isn’t a terrible movie–that would imply some sort of drive, of ambition–it’s just so intent on doing it’s damnedest to not offend that it’s just a bit boring. That’s not to say that there’re no thrilling or humorous moments–there are–but they’re scattered among a pretty generic plot that’s so rife with […]
I didn’t catch Tim Miller’s Terminator: Dark Fate in theaters though having recently seen it I’m okay with that. As I discuss in my video, the greatest problem with the Terminator films is by my reckoning not that they all have the same story but they obviously have the same story. And that’s not unusual. […]
