I have been watching a lot of Netflix since I have been working getting over my cold. I finished watching “Firefly” – as a result I think I better understand the fixation the fans known as Browncoats have with the show; as an added bonus I appreciate Joss Whedon’s “Serentity” even more. I am also […]
Here’s a new “Riddick” trailer, and it looks like he’s fallen on hard times. In “Pitch Black” he was a convict, pursued by a bounty hunter and seemingly trapped on a world of deadly, inhuman creatures. In the sequel, “The Chronicles Of Riddick” he somehow became the ruler of the Necromongers, the most powerful army […]
I assume that this footage for Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” is from the last Comic-con. It shows the most detail of the robots yet, as well as a bit of character development. And I can’t see why Michael Bay would ever be worried by ‘Rim,’ after all, if the trailers are to be believed, […]
I have to admit that, while I had heard of Suzanne Collins‘ Hunger Games Trilogy prior to the movie coming out, I didn’t expect it to make much of a splash. My bias stemmed less from the fact that her books are directed primarily at young adults – John Christopher’s ‘The White Mountains’ trilogy are […]
When Gerry Anderson died in 2013 I assumed that also meant that not only would there be no more series like “UFO,” “Space: 1999” or “Space Precinct” but without his leadership there wouldn’t even be an Anderson Entertainment. It seems that I am wrong because the company’s web site not only went live recently and […]
I have noticed that I have been using Michael Bay as a benchmark of sorts, which in a roundabout way is complementary toward his particular skill set. For instance, I created a phenomenon called “the Michael Bay Exception” which encapsulates his tendency to worship at the altar of spectacle, while things like plot and story […]
Universal Pictures and Hero Complex are having free screenings of “Oblivion,” Joseph Kosinski’s followup to “Tron: Legacy,” starting on the 15th of this month. If you’re in New York, Philadelphia or Burbank (among others cities) you might want to look into it. It revolves around Tom Cruise, who’s a repairman of droids on an Earth that […]
This is interesting. I was actually looking for something “Iron Man 3”-related, when I stumbled upon this trailer for the upcoming sequel to David Twohy’s “The Chronicles Of Riddick.” I don’t know when this snuck on to the Interwebs, but it looks like the real deal and not some mashup of clips from various ‘Riddick’ […]
“Space Precinct,” arguably one of Gerry Anderson’s more controversial series, mainly due to the $1.5 million per episode cost, which made it the most expensive show in Britain at the time. Yet, despite all the money spent, the ratings were only average, which I suspect had more than a little to do with the terrible […]
