The reviews have started coming, and so far they’re looking pretty good. IGN and Comicbookmovie are very positive (in some instances gushingly so. The latter calls Ant-Man “Easily one of the top Marvel movies to date.”). Though things aren’t all rosy, because Alsono Duralde, from The Wrap says, “Ant-Man serves up jokes that don’t land and thrills that […]
I admit, after learning that Marvel Studios isn’t coming to Comic-Con this year, that I was a mite concerned (though Marvel Television and Cartoons are attending) because that meant that DC Entertainment would dominate the convention with news and clips from Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (still hate that title) and Suicide Squad. Though based […]
I fully admit that the success of Jurassic World caught me by surprise. I didn’t necessarily think that it would fail, though if anyone had told me that it would be breaking records made by 2014’s The Avengers I would have laughed at such a ridiculous notion. That being said, what’s in its way even […]
The story around Relativity Studios’ reboot of The Crow, which I originally wrote about here, continues albeit in a fashion that I had not anticipated. I mentioned originally that among the many issues that the remake was facing was whether or not Relativity would be able to refinance it’s debt in time. If not the studio could be […]
“What Kind Of Cars Are Those? They’re So Scary.” I didn’t make up that quote, by the way, it’s an actual line from the movie, which is problematic because NO ONE talks like that, particularly when there’re being chased by a bunch of assassins. Though the thing is, the actor who uttered the line, T.J. Miller, is always […]
The teaser for Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur was released today, and it’s very Pixarian (not a word, but it ought to be) in that the backgrounds appear almost photo-real, while the creatures themselves (be they cars, planes, people or in this instance, dinosaurs) look relatively soft, doughy and not at all realistic. Which makes sense considering that to do otherwise […]
I just finished watching Lluís Quilez’s Out Of The Dark, currently on Netlix, and it’s a bit middling, though hardly the worse movie I’ve seen. It revolves around a family who moves to Columbia, and are haunted by ghosts. Though not particularly effective, I found it interesting for another reason: The ghosts come about because the owner […]
“Watch If Just So You Can Say You Do Did (Or You Really Like Bill Burr). Other Than That, I’ve Got Nothin.’” Bill Burr! Bill Burr is one of the first people you see when Zombeavers starts, and maybe it’s just that he’s not too discriminating about the roles he chooses, but I was genuinely happy to […]
“Kimberly Peirce’s Carrie, As Far As Remaks Goes, Isn’t Terribly Necessary, Though It’s Worth Seeing Anyway.” For the longest time I’ve avoided watching Kimberly Peirce‘s remake of Brian DePalma’s Carrie because I just didn’t see the point, especially since from what I had seen from the trailers it wasn’t saying anything that the original didn’t. […]
“Ignore the naysayers. REC 4: Apocalypse is a pretty good time.” I’ve been particularly interested in the REC movies, because they’re quite possibly one of the most successful–in terms of staying faithful and uncompromisingly with what made them so interesting in the first place–horror series ever made (Unlike others, such as the Resident Evil series, which pretty much […]
