I haven’t been a fan of DC Comics-based series like Arrow (too soapy) or Gotham (too pre-Batman) but I have to admit that I like this trailer for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. It’s the adventures of the Atom, Rip Hunter, Hawkwoman, Flash, Captain Cold and Heatwave though what I like most is that it feels like […]
Various movie sites have posted an image of Crossbones from the upcoming Captain America: Civil War and unlike most of the cast of Suicide Squad, he looks pretty awesome. For those of you that don’t recall, at the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier you see Brock Rumlow (Frank Grillo) in a hospital bed after […]
Some people are critical of Marvel using lesser known directors for the superhero properties–the main one being that they’re cheaper than better known talent. This relates directly to rumors that they’re considering Rick Famuyiwa and Ava DuVernay, for upcoming Marvel projects. And while their relative inexpensiveness is undeniably a factor, I don’t think it’s nearly as important as […]
The last film from The Vicious Brothers (who aren’t–biologically speaking–brothers) was the send-up of found footage reality shows, Grave Encounters. It was one of the better examples of the genre because it was able to take many of the tropes that come with it (How is it that no matter what or where something happens there’s […]
“Late Phases Is An Interesting Diversion, Though Hardly The Best The Werewolf Genre has To Offer.” When all is said and done, what separates great werewolf movies from also-rans is the quality of the titular beast itself, which unfortunately isn’t Late Phases strongest point. The aforementioned monsters here look less like wolves than large hairy gnomes, which is […]
Sense8 “When the going gets the tough, the tough make television.” As far as I am aware, that’s not a real quote, though it accurately describes what’s going on with the Warchowskis, Lena and Larry. Coming off the box-office failure of Jupiter Ascending (the first time I heard of it I associated it with Alfred […]
David Ayer, director of the upcoming Suicide Squad, has released a photos of the entire cast via Twitter yesterday. And it looks as if it’s following Man of Steel’s lead, by which I mean it’s going to take itself way too seriously. As a director, Ayer is talented (I haven’t seen a lot of his work, […]
“For me, one of the signs of a good movie is that it rewards repeat viewing. Avengers: Age of Ulton fits the bill.” I’ve already reviewed Avengers: Age of Ultron here for Moviepilot, though I tend to be easily overwhelmed by spectacle–which this movie has in spades–so I saw it a second time, to better […]
Having just seen Avengers: Age of Ultron–review coming soon–can we just accept one thing: Namely that there is no way on Earth that Batman can take Captain America? Unlike what some people may believe… And while not having seen Zach Snyder’s interpretation of the iconic superhero, there’s virtually no way that he’s in Captain America’s league. […]
The Houses October Built Is A Great Title In Search Of A Deserving Movie.” Can we stop with the found-footage movies already? Every since The Blair Witch Project started the trend in 1999–16 years ago–studios have been churning them out left and right. And there’s a logic, the most crucial point being that they’re relatively cheap to produce. […]
