While Josh Trank, straight off the success of “Chronicle,” being chose to direct Fox’s reboot of the Fantastic Four is probably a really good decision (despite that I couldn’t sit through the movie) I have to wonder what’s going on with the casting. It was recently announced that Jamie Bell, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara […]
This. Is. So. Awesome. What makes it so is that it obviously has a sense of humor. To see Jason Quill (Chris Pratt) having to explain who ‘Star Lord’ is great (the scene that he does it in looks like a homage to “Raiders Of The Lost Ark.” Plus, we get to see Rocket Raccoon […]
Originally when I watched the teaser for “Guardians Of The Galaxy,” I wondered where Rocket Raccoon was. It appears that he actually turns up, but only for a moment (he’s behind a clearly pissed Groot, firing a gun). Thanks to faraway for the eagle eye!
The full trailer for Marvel Studios “Guardians Of the Galaxy” is supposed to premiere later today, though a teaser has just been released. What’s interesting is that I don’t think that I have been so expectant to see a trailer, never mind the movie that will eventually accompany it.
I happened to be recently watching Don Coscarelli‘s “Bubba Ho-tep,” when I occurred to me that since Marvel Studios is working on a Doctor Strange feature (supposedly with John Hamm as the lead) he would be a perfect choice to direct it. Off the top of my head, there are five reasons that this is […]
Unlike in the case of Bryan Singer‘s “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” as of this writing I haven’t seen anything from Joss Whedon‘s “The Avengers: Age of Ultron,” though it was made known that Paul Bettany (who voiced the Tony Stark’s AI, known as J.A.R.V.I.S) would be playing the synthizoid known as the Vision. For those […]
Wha!? I just finished watching the trailer for Michael Bay’s latest ‘Transformers’ film, and I have to say that he’s had better trailers. This one has a particularly disjointed quality to it, and feels like random footage was thrown together with little logic. Which isn’t unusual for a trailer, though some sort of narrative cohesion […]
I really want to like this movie, but I am a little sensitive since being trade raped the last time. Marc Webb’s first Spider-Man film was such as colossal mess that the honorable thing to do would have been to take it out back and shoot it. Yes. Watching “The Amazing Spider-Man” felt exactly like […]
That title sounds like a Robert Ludlum novel. “The Falcon Quandary.” Marvel Studios, I think, has run into a minor speed bump. Since they have no right to use characters that are referred to as mutants–because of a licensing deal with Twentieth Century Fox, made when the company was flirting with bankruptcy–there are no super-powered […]
I remember watching the cartoon adventures of “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” when I was growing up. I think it was part of the “Rocky & Bullwinkle Hour.” Judging from the trailer, the filmmakers are making it a lot more wholesome than I recall it being. For instance, Mr. Peabody (the dog) and Sherman (the human) […]
