Bird Box – Review

2018’s A Quiet Place came in the nick of time because Paramount–the studio that released it–was on relatively shaky ground after the underwhelming response to Star Trek: Beyond (there’s no colon in the title but I’m adding one anyway). It certain didn’t hurt that A Quiet Place was budgeted at $17 million and earned just […]

Let Me Be Frank – Review

I’ve ‘met‘ Kevin Spacey before. It was when I was an extra on #Netflix’s House Of Cards and before the allegations of him being any sort of sexual predator came out. I’d like to say that there was something off about him, but if I did I’d be lying. Sure, he came off as stand-offish […]

Bumblebee – Review

Most of the Transformers movies are drek (the first gets a pass because it was new and as viewers we had no idea what to expect) and how they went on to be the successes they ended up being–prior to the franchise running out of steam in it’s later chapters–is virtually beyond comprehension. I blame […]

Aladdin – Teaser Trailer# 2

I’d be lying if I said I cared about Disney’s upcoming live-action Aladdin. After all, I haven’t even seen the cartoon the movie was based on though In the name of full disclosure I should mention I also hadn’t seen the cartoon that begat Beauty And The Beast before seeing the live action version on […]

Men In Black International – Official Trailer

Besides the title being a bit silly–after all the Men In Black includes aliens from OTHER WORLDS, for frak’s sake! Yet somehow we’re emphasizing it’s international nature!? Then there’s the product placement (memo to studio: If you’re seeing obnoxious product placement in the damn trailer it’s likely to be even more so in the movie, […]

Hellboy (2019) – Trailer Into Reaction

Lionsgate, only a few few hours ago as of this writing, released the trailer for their upcoming Hellboy reboot. Which I really expected to dislike but in actuality I found it pretty intriguing. For a start, it appears to preserve the visual continuity Of Guillermo Del Toro’s two entries, which makes sense considering the visual […]

Hellboy (2019) Trailer Leaked!

If you’re of the mind to check it out, Comicbookmovie has posted a leaked trailer for Lionsgate’s upcoming Hellboy reboot. I intend to take a look tomorrow for Trailer Into Reaction, though that doesn’t stop you (though I’d move quickly because the likelihood is high it will be pulled). As I said, I’ll revisit this […]

Bao – Review

This short caught me by surprise mainly because I’m not a huge fan of CGI-animated features though as a medium it has advanced exponentially since Tron in 1982 (in which only portions of the movie–like the light cycle races and the MCP–were actually computer generated). But it not only has it’s place, but as movies […]
