I enjoyed J.J. Abrams’ interpretation of the Star Wars universe with The Force Awakens, but it felt too shiny, too clean. Now Rogue One feels like a Star Wars movie should. Or maybe it’s just seeing old school Star Destroyers and the original Death Star, though I think that it’s the grim tone, the grit and the […]
Seeing that The BFG is coming from Disney, Steven Spielberg, and the writing of Roald Dahl, it’s safe to assume that it doesn’t stand for ‘The Big Fucking Giants.’ And while there are indeed some pretty big giants, I am reasonably confident in saying that while there’s no sex of any sort, there is a whole […]
And the answer is a firm “Maybe.” To begin, let’s call our hypotheses, Scenario One and Two. Scenario One is the best case; Scenario Two…not at all. If your chief source of information is Box Office Mojo, then things can be interpreted somewhat optimistically. According to them, the movie is budgeted at $250 million. That’s expensive, […]
I have finally uploaded my Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice review and as I say, it’s not a terrible movie, though it’s not that good either.
Netflix is bringing back Voltron, though it appears that he might have got a demotion from being the ‘Defender of the Universe’ to a ‘Legendary Defender.’ I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the robot, though for some reason when growing up I thought that it was selfish that only one of the […]
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice reviews have been filtering in for the last day or two, and while they’re not all terrible–after all, someone probably even liked Hitler’s paintings–they’re pretty disastrous considering that there are literally millions, if not potentially billions, riding on its success. I intend to catch it tomorrow, and will post a review as […]
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure why the Marvel series being produced for Netflix are so successful. After all, they’re working with characters that I wouldn’t exactly call ‘first-stringers.’ Though that’s not by any means to imply that they aren’t beloved to many people, only that they’re plenty of more popular superheroes that have […]
For awhile, despite my serious love for everything that was unfolding in Daredevil, I was wondering how they were going to manage to embrace the more fantastical aspects of the Marvel Universe. In the world that exists in Marvel Televised Universe, the heroes are much more grounded than they are in its cinematic brethren so […]
“Why didn’t you take off my mask?” –Daredevil “I don’t give a shit who you are.” –Frank Castle, aka the Punisher Those aren’t the words that begin the third episode of Daredevil’s Second season, though they might as well be because if there’s one thing that makes Frank Castle the most dangerous opponent Daredevil has ever […]
“Even has a code name.” “Like what? Kill-dozer? Or ‘dumbass with a gun?’” “Not quite. They’re calling this one ‘The Punisher.’” Or “Hold on. Sure I can’t get you anything else? You know, I’ve got it all, man. Yeah, bondage, backdoor, grannies, or maybe you’re in the market for something younger. She’s barely 12. Guaranteed.” […]
