I honestly don’t much like what I have so far seen from Zach Snyder’s upcoming Justice League and the recently released International Trailer hasn’t much changed my mind. Snyder’s visual esthetic is on full display, which is to say that most images have a murky, ugly aspect to them, though if this were the movie’s […]
Everything that lives, eventually dies. And that’s okay because it’s the fear of death, of Thanatos, that drives all animals, of which we are, to procreate (so that our genes–and what are we if not the genetic material that literally makes us up–live on in our children). Immortality of a sort. What does the above […]
It’s James Gunn’s world, we just happen to live in it. Reason being, reviews of Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2 have begun to filter in, and they’re pretty good. Though what’s interesting is that they’re not ALL that way, yet there’s not been a peep from either Marvel or Disney as a result. This […]
Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released a few hours ago, and looks… like a Star Wars movie. Which is stating the obvious, though it also reveals a problem. The last Star Wars movie, Rogue One, was what you get when you take Star Wars and remove the wonder, heart and engaging characters that […]
Ben Affleck originally planned to star, write (with Geoff Johns) and direct a solo Batman movie for Warner Bros and DC Entertainment though he eventually decided to step down from the latter (it’s believed that he did so because Warner Bros was insistent that he make a 2018 release date, which he felt he could […]
I have no idea why they’re calling the new trailer for Thor: Ragnarok a ‘teaser’ because it definitely has all the goods. Ironically, what makes it such a joy to watch was that the prior movie in the series, Thor: The Dark World–while by no means terrible–was a bit underwhelming. Director Taika Waititi looks like he’s hit […]
As far as I’m concerned–at least initially–the best horror is in the sizzle, not the steak. Keep in mind that in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws for a good portion of the movie you never see the shark at all (for the most part a fortuitous accident. The mechanical shark, known affectionately as Bruce, more often than […]
Before I begin I should mention that I intend to stop posting teaser trailers (unaccompanied by a full trailer) because the former tends to give so little in the way of information that’s it’s almost pointless. This way at you get the teaser AND the full trailer at the same time, which as far as I […]
I absolutely can’t stand teaser trailers (or ‘Sneak Peeks,’ or whatever the hell some marketing department chooses to call them). They’re like regular trailers, except they give you even less information, which virtually by definition makes them very, very frustrating. The latest teaser from Spider-Man: Homecoming is no different in that we see Spider-Man clinging […]
This morning a teaser trailer Zach Snyder’s Batman v Superman was released, and…meh. After all, it’s a teaser trailer, which is little more than a few carefully chosen shots from the upcoming movie seemingly designed to drum up interest. It seems that Warner Bros/ DC Entertainment are taking a somewhat novel approach (‘novel’ in the […]
