Some people prefer Marvel heroes, like Spider-Man and The Avengers, while others prefer DC, and characters like Batman and Superman, though the line between the two for most is a bit blurrier than that. For instance, while I generally like Marvel, I grew up on the giant-sized adventures of Batman, which I fondly remember my […]
The teaser (I still can’t quite get over the idea that studios are actually making teasers for trailers. It wasn’t that long ago that trailers were teasers for movies, but I digress) for Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” has arrived, and it’s full of wonder. And corn. That being said, you can see Nolan is trying to […]
Let me first come out and say that I think Tom Cruise is a pretty competent actor. That being said, I don’t think he can ever be great at his craft because he can’t seem to get over himself. ‘Edge’ is Cruise-centered, as usual (which makes sense when you’re the star of a film) but […]
The trailer for Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” just popped up, and it feels – and sounds – like a Michael Bay Transformers film. So many cars flying about, so many explosions! This must be what happens when a director being given too much money is combined with rebooting a property too soon: You […]
I hate to admit it, but “Lego Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overload” is much, much better than 2012’s “Amazing Spider-Man.” It’s made for kids, but works really well for adults, too. And it’s particularly cool the way whenever something crashes into something else that it breaks into squares – because everything is made up of […]
We weren’t present at his conferences with his mutant charges. Who knows what he said or how he conducted himself? Though I wouldn’t put my money on this interpretation.
I am not sure that I crazy about the Hercules being blond (I am partial to the Marvel version of the character) but other than that, I like what I see. This is the first of two Hercules movies in development. It stars Kellan Lutz and is directed by Renny Harlin (The Long Kiss Goodnight, […]
“”Curse Of Chucky” is at heart a very smart movie. Unfortunately, much of that smartness is surrounded by a typical horror film.” Don Mancini‘s “Curse Of Chucky” takes the “Child’s Play” franchise back to its origins, relying more on scares and suspense than the camp of the last few entries (which were entertaining, but began […]
Over the years, there have quite a few Batmobiles, with the vehicle changing whenever a new director helmed the franchise. For instance, here’s the Batmobile that appeared in the Tim Burton film. The next version is Joel Schumacher’s. It’s a bit garish though there’s no denying that it’s a dynamic-looking vehicle. Schumacher, if I recall, […]
“”Jack Reacher” is a competent thriller, held back by the ego of its lead.” Christopher McQuarrie‘s “Jack Reacher” (based on the books by Lee Child) isn’t a bad movie by any stretch. It’s well-done and surprisingly clever at times. It also has some great fight scenes, though the film has a big problem. And it’s […]
