We meet Turk Barrett (Rob Morgan) from Into The Cut again, though this time, instead of human trafficking, he’s selling guns. He’s quite the entrepreneur, if nothing else. He’s selling a .45 automatic to someone who prefers revolvers (because he thinks they’re prone to jamming), though Barrett swears for the efficacy of the gun. Though as […]
An important difference between the portrayal of Daredevil and most other superheroes is that he’s human–a well-trained, durable human with a radar sense and enhanced hearing–but all too human nonetheless. Which is why ‘Cut Man’ begins with him in a dumpster, after a fight with opponents we never actually see. The story goes into Matt’s relationship with his father, […]
“An Auspicious Beginning For Marvel’s Un-Caped Crusader.” When I was growing up, comics not only taught me how to read, but they inspired me to action; I remember vividly running about New York City, trekking through Central Park like Cortez or exploring abandoned buildings with my not-so-super friends. And I would read–though perhaps devour is a […]
Deadpool was never one of my favorite characters. Something about him being created by Rob Liefeld–who somehow managed to do very well for himself as a comic book artist despite having a really, really bad understanding of human anatomy. And that’s not hyperbole because it feels to me like he’s never seen a bodily structure […]
..and the first I have read is from SuperHeroHype–and it’s pretty positive (effusively so, truth be told). In fact, I suspect that it’s perhaps too rosy seeing that it appears that the reviewer has only seen the first of a 13-episode series. Enthusiasm aside–after all, the site isn’t called SuperHeroHype for nothing–it’s a good sign that the opener […]
I was reading Deadline: Hollywood earlier today when I noticed that Ruairi Robinson has landed a development deal based upon the video for his short, Leviathan. If you’ve been reading this blog, you’ll recall that I featured Robinson’s The Silent City, a few years ago. I’ve reposted it below. The thing is, Ruairi Robinson does great trailers, but […]
I honestly think that this latest The Avengers: Age Of Ultron (wanted to type ‘Luton‘ for some reason) trailer is the most cohesive yet. Unlike past trailers each character gets an introduction, as well as a bit of the spotlight. We see a bit more of Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and they look pretty awesome. […]
This is sort of neat. It’s a motion poster based upon Netflix’s upcoming 13-issue series Daredevil, where we see Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) turn into Daredevil. I should also mention that it’s not the red suit–they’re keeping that under wraps, but it’s pretty cool nonetheless. I also want to say that I am not going […]
It figures that Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie, in what at first glance appears to be a ridiculous-looking costume) would be playing a bad guy (or a misunderstood one) in the new Tomorrowland trailer. It’s interesting because it gives more context to what the movie is about, which it really, really needed because–as far as […]
It goes without saying that the latest trailer for The Avengers: Age Of Ultron is all sorts of awesome. This time around we get a little more on Ultron, as well as his motivations (and there’s a logic to his approach in that if you get rid of people you’re going to get rid of […]
