As you can tell from the trailer above, one of Marvel Comics’ Ghost Rider’s (there have been at least three or four variations on the character) is making an appearance on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and honestly I am not sure what feel about that. Reason being, unlike over at DC Films and DC Television (I […]
Marvel Studios’ upcoming Thor: Ragnarok looks to be the most intriguing release thus far, and most of the reason for it are due to idiosyncratic director Taiki Waititi. He’s the director of quirky dramedies like Eagle vs Shark and What We Do In The Shadows and if the trailer he released at ComicCon is any indicator he intends […]
Does the image to the left remind anyone else of the scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind when the alien mothership hovers over Devil’s Tower? That’s the first thing that came to mind when I saw this image from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The other thing was that, if I’m lucky, […]
If you were paying attention during the second trailer for Marvel’s Doctor Strange–and it’s pretty awesome–you probably noticed that the Marvel Studios opening has changed. Here’s the original. I like it because it harkens back to the roots of Marvel Studios, which is comic books. It’s relatively simple, with great music by Brian Tyler that comes across heroic […]
Let me cut to the chase. I am not particularly enamored of Gareth Edwards as a director. The problems start with his filmography. First you have Monsters, a movie where the aforementioned monsters felt like an afterthought which shouldn’t be the case with a movie named Monsters. His followup, Legendary’s Godzilla suffered a similar fate, with Godzilla […]
It’s been a long time away! I’ve hopefully straightened out all the hullabaloo revolving around my domain, and things should be back to normal. Most recently I haven been thinking about how it is that Marvel’s Doctor Strange is perhaps one of their most important releases, and crucial to the future of the MCU, or Marvel Cinematic […]
I’m not quite sure what to make of the retooled Pete’s Dragon except that it’s apparently nothing like the original, though oddly enough, what they both share in common is the significant role animation plays–though in this instance it’s the result of–more likely than not–hundreds of computer artists, as opposed to relatively few of the hand-drawn variety. […]
I am a huge fan of Disney, not because of their characters–which for the most part I find cloying and treacly–than the business acumen of Bob Iger, who had the sense to see the value in LucasFilm, Marvel Studios, and Pixar, all of which he purchased; each of which are virtually licenses to purchase money. Captain America: […]
Disney’s Moana is going to be huge. And that’s saying something when you consider that both Frozen and Zootopia are both members of the Billion Dollar Club. Though Moana is powered by Dwayne Johnson, one of the most bankable action stars today. Besides, the trailer looks like a of of fun (and it can’t hurt that it features songs […]
I’ve said for a long time now that Fox doesn’t know how to manage the Marvel Studios properties–currently the X-Men and the Fantastic Four–that they currently control. So what do they do? They go and prove me right. X-Men: Apocalypse, after a Memorial Day premiere of $79.8 million–enough to beat the competition handily–fell a dizzying 66 […]
