This weekend–after taking advantage of a free month of Hulu–I caught Guillermo Del Toro’s The Strain and it was pretty good which only fell short of remarkable because the fourth season felt truncated (According to shorrunner/director Carlton Cuse Del Toro actually had plans for a fifth season, which would have given what ended up being […]
A day or two ago the trailer for the latest season of Netflix’s Stranger Things franchise, Stranger Things 3, dropped and it looks…fine. Not great, and definitely NOT an event though that’s okay in the sense that not everything has to be an event and there should be room for smaller-scale things as well. Which […]
Having seen 1982’s The Dark Crystal I initially wondered whom was resisting whom because if you’ve seen that movie you probably noticed that at the end that it tied up everything neatly. Looking at the trailer, it looks like Age of Resistance is a prequel and sets up and early chapter in the rebellion (?) […]
I did not like Christoper McQuarrie’s Mission Impossible: Fallout (virtually) at all. It’s a well-directed movie, though I can’t separate it from Tom Cruise and his Scientology cult. It’s worth mentioning that literally every religion began as a cult, essentially a belief system with relatively few believers, so if I were to have an issue […]
I’ve been done with movies based in The Conjuring universe for awhile now. As I say in the video, they feel like horror movies made for people who don’t particularly like horror movies. They’re well-shot, edited and lit but they’re all about jump scares and don’t seem to particularly care about whether or not they’re […]
The trailer of Godzilla: King Of The Monster dropped a week or so ago, and I can at least see the monsters–something you can’t necessarily say about the 2014 movie. It should go without saying but I. Want. To. See. The. Monsters. Why would I be remotely interested in these movies if not to see […]
The final trailer for Brightburn dropped yesterday, and I’m genuinely curious about the movie because I get the feeling that Zach Snyder really wished he could have treated his version of Superman in a similar fashion. Though that’s not quite fair because hate isn’t the opposite of love, apathy is and that was the Snyder’s […]
The BBC (British Broadcasting Company) is adapting the trilogy known as His Dark Materials (The Golden Compass/His Dark Materials, The Subtle Knife & The Amber Spyglass) as a miniseries, which is a really good idea because if the 2007 movie has shown us anything it’s that the material requires room to breathe. And few mediums […]
The full trailer for The CW’s Batwoman dropped earlier today and it bothers me. To be honest I feel that way about quite a few things about the trailer but one thing immediately went to the top of the list. And that’s the appearance of a young Lucius Fox (played by Morgan Freeman in the […]
And if there were a definition of the term “teaser trailer” in a text book I wouldn’t be shocked if it referred to the Batwoman teaser because this thing literally tells you nothing at all beyond the obvious. Which is fine since I don’t particularly care about any of the CW shows that I have […]
