“”Captain America: The Winter Soldier” Easily Ranks Among The Best Marvel Studios Films.” Let me get something out of the way: You know all those critics that say that “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” was a great superhero film that’s evocative of spy thrillers like “Three Days of the Condor (both which happen to have Robert […]
I am not terribly easy to please when it comes to real-world interpretations of superheroes that I have followed since I was a kid. Then again, I also understand that costume designers have quite a balancing act to maintain. Sometimes, they cannot be too literal, because it would mean spandex, and virtually no one looks […]
Remember when I said that Robert Stromberg’s “Maleficent” is going to fail? I still believe that to be the case, though I have to admit that I like the most recent trailer. In it get a little more information as to why she’s evil, as well as watching her raise an army from what look […]
In Whedon We Trust. Somewhat sacrilegious, I must admit, but I had no choice. I was looking for a half-decent rendition of what a costume for someone that could run at super speeds would look like, and found the designs for the upcoming television series “The Flash” somewhat lackluster. Though even worse were the designs […]
As far as remakes go, there are few films that would benefit from it as much as Disney’s 1979 sci-fi epic, “The Black Hole.” The good news is that, while Disney is working on a remake, they have been doing so since 2009. The first draft was written by Travis Beecham (“Pacific Rim”) then rewritten […]
So far I am remarkably unimpressed by the “X-Men: Days of Future Past” trailer so far released. The thing is, they haven’t really shown us anything, and what they have shown us is–to me at any rate–underwhelming. Director Bryan Singer seems to be treating the movie as if it were some sort of Wagnerian epic, […]
Can this movie look any cooler? This time the trailer seems to feature the Falcon, who we see going against the Winter Soldier. We also get to see the Black Widow in action, administering the Widow’s Bite to an unfortunate victim. I understand that I am not exactly the audience that these trailers are being […]
Yesterday AMC had an interview with Chris Pratt, James Gunn and Kevin Fiege (President of Marvel Studios) about their upcoming movie “Guardians Of The Galaxy.” Here it is in its entirely. The conversation is interesting, and John Campea, of AMC Movie News, asks some good questions (though there’s a whole lot of fawning going on) […]
This. Is. So. Awesome. What makes it so is that it obviously has a sense of humor. To see Jason Quill (Chris Pratt) having to explain who ‘Star Lord’ is great (the scene that he does it in looks like a homage to “Raiders Of The Lost Ark.” Plus, we get to see Rocket Raccoon […]
Originally when I watched the teaser for “Guardians Of The Galaxy,” I wondered where Rocket Raccoon was. It appears that he actually turns up, but only for a moment (he’s behind a clearly pissed Groot, firing a gun). Thanks to faraway for the eagle eye!
