“The Wraith” is a film that’s interesting in that it not only should be remade, but almost requires it. That being said, I don’t only want to point out what makes it such a mediocre movie – it’s too easy – but offer some advice which could improve it. Mike Marvin’s film, sadly, smothers a […]
According to Deadline, Netflix is considering bringing back “Terra Nova,” the time travel series recently cancelled by Fox. My problem with this idea is that “Terra Nova” wasn’t that entertaining to begin with, and extremely expensive to produce, so I am a bit dubious about this one. Besides, any television series that can have time […]
“2012: Zombie Apocalypse” is currently on Netflix, and it’s “Syfy Good.” By which I mean, for a Syfy Channel production, it’s pretty good. Now, if just about anyone else had produced it, it would be terrible. Keep in mind that this is the same outfit that produced films like “Almighty Thor,” (which attempted to cash […]
Louie C.K. is a funny comedian. He has this self-depreciating manner that sometimes makes his (more often than not) bawdy material entertaining. That being said, his series, “Louie” is a bit of a downer. I have been watching it on Neflix, and the first five or six episodes started promisingly, but a very moralistic tone […]
I like all things “Space: 1999,” which is why when I saw this ship from the “Futurama” movie “Bender’s Game” I had to post it. That grey spacecraft is an Eagle, the ubiquitous transport craft from the groundbreaking Gerry Anderson series.
Just wanted to remind everyone that Starz content on Netflix will vanish after Tuesday of next week, which means that movies like “Breaking Away,” “Tron: Legacy,” and “Silver Streak,” to name a few, will not longer be available. Despite this fact, it appears that the subscriber flight over the Quikster debacle, as well as the […]
According to Cnet.com, Hulu has a 13-episode commitment to “Battleground,” a comedy about a primary campaign for a Wisconsin Senate seat, “A Week In The Life,” a 10-episode documentary series about famous people, and a so-far unnamed travelogue series from Richard Linklater. Streaming services like Netflix and Hulu are developing original content in order to […]
Tucker & Dale vs Evil, currently streaming on Netflix, is a horror/comedy with more levels than similar films. It can be taken as a cautionary tale about the perils of prejudging people, or if that goes over your head, then perhaps a story about the perils of making hair-trigger assumptions. Or you can take it […]
After the numerous problems in 2011 that Netflix has encountered under the leadership of Reed Hastings, it’s comforting to know that his stock option allowance has been slashed for 2012. Sure, that means that the value of his stock options has dropped to $1.5 million, but seeing that his reimbursement has fallen to that amount, I […]
Netflix has had a particularly rough year. First, there was the price increase, which was not very well received, probably due to the way it was handled more than the increase itself. Then there was the split of Netflix into two companies: Quikster, for the delivery of DVD’s, and Netflix for the streaming of video. […]
