““Riddick” rocks, and a R-rating ensures that there are curses and gore aplenty.” Mild spoilers below. A lot of reviews I have read of David Twohy’s “Riddick” take issue with the idea that it resembles the film that introduced the character Richard B. Riddick, “Pitch Black.” Using this logic, John Ford’s “The Man Who Shot […]
Hmm…I had no idea that Jonathan Glazer’s “Under The Skin” was a sci-fi film. I’ve heard of it, but for some reason I thought that it was in the same ballpark as the Meg Ryan film “In The Cut” – which, despite never having seen it – isn’t. Watching the trailer – and Scarlett Johansson’s […]
The visuals of this clip are provided by Mirada Studios, about the making of the prologue from Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim. Those effects are pretty impressive, though what seems to be lost amongst all that visual wizardry is the music behind the trailer, which is provided by Ramin Djawadi (pronounced Java-dee). The track is […]
Snowpiercer, the latest film by Bong Joon-ho, is soon to be released domestically, after premiering to enthusiastic crowds in South Korea and opening bigger than any other film in that country’s history. Now, my question is: Wouldn’t you want to see this film as the director intended, as opposed to it being cut especially for […]
Here’s the cover to the upcoming DVD for Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim,” coming out October 10. The robot versus monsters epic has earned just over $400 million dollars worldwide, while speculation of a sequel continues. Thanks to Superherohype.
That was quick. Thanks to Rafael Dominguez Estrada, who found this on Youtube, despite me having looked for it earlier. The trailer in and of itself looks OK, but the major league actors (Samuel Jackson and Gary Oldman) that look to be playing somewhat “minor” roles reminds me of Christopher Nolan’s casting of Michael Caine […]
I would post the latest trailer for José Padilha’s “RoboCop,” reboot, but it’s in Yahooese, which means that WordPress doesn’t play well with it. I’ll post it here as soon as it’s available via Youtube. The trailer itself is OK, and looks different enough from the original that at least it appears that they’re only […]
Gerry Anderson, the creator of “Thunderbirds,” “Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons,” “Space: 1999” among many others popular series died last year, though the profile producer was working on numerous projects for as long as he was capable. The first of those projects, “Gemini Force 1,” is being released via Kickstarter as a series of books. […]
According to Fusible.com, the title of the upcoming Transformers film will be some variation of “Transformers: Last Stand,” “Transformers: Future Cast,” or “Transformers: Apocalpypse.” They base their information upon domain registrations, which has proven accurate in reference to the last film, “Transformers: Dark Of The Moon.” That being said, no matter how interesting the title […]
A very rare bird. Think of a coelacanth (which were discovered alive a few decades ago, though despite being such a remarkable, unusual creature it may be endangered) or a Tasmanian Tiger (none discovered alive, though rumors persist). It’s that unusual. What makes it such a great idea is that the original – a precursor […]
