The picture on the left is from the Catacombs of Paris, which I took myself. If you haven’t seen them, they’re worth checking out. They’re also a bit on the morbid side, but as far as I am concerned were the primary motivator for me visiting Paris in the first place. I was so impressed that when […]
I am not terribly familiar with the Norse concept of Ragnarök, though I do know that it revolves around the end of the world and all sorts of unpleasantness (which according to Wikipedia doesn’t typically include really large lizard-like monsters). I should mention that I found this trailer while I was searching for the trailer […]
Now this trailer I like! Unlike the ones that have been produced for domestic consumption, this has a narrative cohesion that they lack. In fact, amidst all the chaos, it almost has a Spielbergian feel at times (particularly with the little boy who’s being taken by aliens). This is the trailer that should have been […]
This movie is going to be huge. With The Transformers: Age Of Extinction and Guardians Of The Galaxy coming, The Equalizer probably isn’t on too many people’s radar, though it should be. It’s based upon the 1985 CBS television series that starred the late Edward Woodward. He played a private detective, and former intelligence agent, that […]
If you needed another reason to love Marvel Studios–besides their awesome movies–it’s probably because they’re best at translating their characters to the screen, which is why when I heard that they were preparing to launch four new series exclusively for Netflix a few months ago, I was so happy that you’d think that I was […]
In September of last year I wrote of how Pacific Rim Will Spawn A Sequel. One of the reasons that I said that this was the case was because Guillermo Del Toro said at the time that he was writing it with Travis Beacham, who wrote the original with Del Toro. Yesterday ScreenRant mentioned that Del […]
This new trailer for James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy popped up on the Interwebs yesterday, and it significantly expands the scale of the universe–literally and figuratively–that the Guardians call their sandbox. It seems a conventional summer blockbuster in many ways. And in other ways, not so much. Something important about is is that–if Marvel Studios current […]
Tim Story is a prolific multihyphenate producer-director, who in the 12 years between 2002 to 2014, produced one feature and directed 10. In 2011 he began a partnership with Kevin Hart, directing the standup specials Laugh At My Pain, followed by Let Me Explain (with Leslie Small) in 2013. Between those two films he directed Think Like A Man, with […]
James Gunn, director of the upcoming Guardians Of The Galaxy, posted this picture by Poster Posse on his Twitter feed today, and it brings back all sorts of memories. If Guardians touches on the feelings that Star Wars evoked, even a little bit, it’s going to be awesome.
According to Variety, Scott Derrickson is directing Doctor Strange for Marvel Studios! This is an awesome choice because, judging by some of the films that he has directed, like Sinister, Hellraiser: Inferno and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, to name a few, show that he has a grasp of the strange and unusual. A quality that’s a […]
