Postmortem: Pacific Rim (2013)
If you ask me the true test of whether or not a movie is a good one is that of time, namely if it can stand up well to repeated viewings.

Marvel’s Daredevil, Season 2 Pictures
When I heard that Fox had not only lost the rights to Marvel Comics’ Daredevil, but Marvel Television–not Marvel Studios–had relaunched the character in a 13-episode series on Netflix I have to admit that my interest was definitely piqued. (It’s worth mentioning that I’ve seen Fox’s version, and its biggest shortcoming was that the producers tried to make […]
Costumes Really, Really Matter
Being a huge comic geek can at times be a double-edged sword despite the fact that with Marvel Studios, DC Entertainment and others producing record amounts of superhero-based content. Part of the trepidation is due to the fact that studios aren’t catering exclusively to comic book readers, so they have produce movies with the non-comic reader […]
Deadpool Red Band Trailer – Trailer 2
I’m not particularly fond of how Fox has treated the Marvel properties (X-Men, Fantastic Four) that they have under their control. Though my feelings–and the clusterfuck that was the recent Fantastic Four movie notwithstanding–if box office receipts are any indication, most people approve of what they’re doing with the X-Men. Which brings me to the latest […]
Colony, Ep. 1 – Review

Though one of his sons is missing, and Will is doing all he can […]
The Legend of Tarzan – Trailer
I’ll readily admit that when I learned that Warner Bros. was making a movie based on Tarzan, I seriously wondered if Kevin Tsujihara was a bit out of his mind. After all, Tarzan has turned up numerous times–which leads me to believe that the character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs is in the public domain–but […]
Star Wars: The Force Awakens -Review
J.J. Abrams, the director of Star Wars: The Force Awakens had a pretty serious job ahead of him. In directed the latest Star Wars movies he had to manage to invigorate the franchise, while not alienating long-time fans of the movie. I’ve discussed this point and more below in my first video review. It’s a […]
The Enterprising Mystery of LeVar Burton
I’ve written on this topic before, though I have yet to find an answer–satisfying or otherwise.
The Curse of Marvel Studios
Marvel Studios is one of the most successful movie studios today, if profitable, reasonably-budgeted movies are the metric–if you consider a $200-250 million reasonable–so much so that some within Disney were rumored to be disappointed with the earnings of Avengers: Age of Ultron, which took in $1.4 billion at the box office–so if that’s a […]
Gods of Egypt – Trailer 2
I really want to like this movie. I have had a fascination with Egypt for most of my life–and the tattoo to prove it!–and want to really like it.
