I found this interview with Steven DeKnight, the showrunner for Netfilix’s upcoming series based on Marvel’s Daredevil, on Superherohype. He actually give very little away, but does say that the series takes place in the 1970’s and that Vincent D’Onofrio is a really scary Kingpin. He also mentions that things are going really well, though I suspect […]
Recently I received a letter from Netflix telling me that the second season of Hemlock Grove was coming July 11th, tomorrow. With that in mind, I thought that I’d do a write-up on the first season. They were also character posters released, which I included below. When I first wrote about the series, I emphasized the […]
“Fascinating In Its Own Way, Though Its Relentless And Nihilistic Tone May Turn Viewers Off” For years people have been scared by the likes of Freddy Krueger, Norman Bates and Jason Vorhees, but let’s be honest: What they are are cartoon characters. Sure, somewhat violent cartoons, but cartoons nonetheless. After all, imagine if someone were coming at you wearing […]
Community Season 1 Trailer Though that’s not to imply that I didn’t try. When there’s so much buzz around a show you think that if you don’t at least check it out, you’re be missing something. Which is a normal feeling. I honestly think that a lot of the reason behind the success of HBO’s Game Of Thrones and AMC’s […]
I understand why some fans of characters like the Fantastic Four, Wolverine, Spider-Man and The Avengers want to see all their favorite heroes on the screen at the same time. Imagine the Avengers..avenging, when Spider-Man swings by or the X-Men encountering Iron man or Captain America? It’s not impossible, though it is very unlikely because […]
The first I heard of Ruairi Johnson was from the the short movie “The Silent City,” which was awhile ago. At the time I though that he had a very interesting vision, kind of dark (I don’t mind nihilism, though a little goes a long way) and atmospheric. I didn’t hear of any projects from his since, so I […]
Can Michael Bay make a movie where buildings aren’t being pulverized? As a child was he almost hit by a piece of falling masonry, forever embittering him against buildings and their ilk? I didn’t see “Pain & Gain” but I have to wonder if any were destroyed in that film too. Though Bay only produced “Teenage Mutant […]
“What Makes A Man, A Man? What makes a man, a man? I have always though that one of the most important differentiators between the sexes are based upon the genitalia: Men have a penis, and women have a vagina. Simple, and easy to understand. But there are people that such easy definitions don’t apply, […]
“Irrelevant Details Mar What Could Have Been A Been An Excellent Example Of The ‘Body Horror’ Genre.” Eric England‘s “Contracted” isn’t a bad movie by any stretch. It looks good, is well-acted, and competently shot. It’s also damned irritating. “Contracted” is in the vein of David Cronenberg‘s ‘Body Horror’ films, such as “Scanners,” “Videodrome” and […]
“Dead Eyes And All, “Starship Troopers: Invasion” Takes The Series In A Great New Direction.” “Starship Troopers,” Paul Verhoeven’s version of Robert Heinlein’s novel, has spawned three sequels, “Starship Troopers: Hero of the Federation,” “Starship Troopers: Marauder,” and Starship Troopers: Invasion” as well as an CGI-based series, “Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles.” It goes without saying […]
