Guillermo Del Toro rocks. Why, you ask? Sure, it has more than a little to do with him being the director of “Hellboy,” “Hellboy 2,” “Blade 2,” The Devil’s Backbone,” Pan’s Labyrinth, among others. It also has to do with tenaciousness, and following your dreams, no matter how bleak things may seem (it also never […]
“”Oblivion” Is A Beautiful Film, Though Muddled Storytelling Almost Scuttle It.” When critics criticized Joseph Kosinski’s “Oblivion” for the ideas it borrows from other (often better) films, they weren’t kidding. Some instances fall more in the area of homage than outright theft, though there are moments, particularly the last half hour or so, that are so blatantly […]
“R.I.P.D,” or ‘Rest In Peace Department’ stars Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges, though why does it feel as if this film is sneaking in under the radar? The trailer plays like “Men In Black,” except with – I assume – a much, much smaller budget and various varieties of the undead, instead of aliens. It’s […]
I have to admit that, while I had heard of Suzanne Collins‘ Hunger Games Trilogy prior to the movie coming out, I didn’t expect it to make much of a splash. My bias stemmed less from the fact that her books are directed primarily at young adults – John Christopher’s ‘The White Mountains’ trilogy are […]
Success should be rewarded. If you’re good at what you do, you should be paid for it. Sometimes, handsomely. But when such things grow out of proportion, it borders on insanity. For instance, the head of the Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, recently announced that there would be layoffs to cut costs, which is an […]
Just when you thought that we survived “Olympus Has Fallen,” here comes the more obviously titled “White House Down.” This time instead of Gerard Butler, all we have is Channing Tatum standing between us and those that would destroy our way of life. God help the terrorists, especially considering that this is from Roland Emmerich, […]
I get that I am not exactly the target audience for this movie, but the trailer struck me as cloyingly cute. So cute in fact that if I were a diabetic I would keep my insulin at the ready, just in case. Gru, the villainous, though he was more misunderstood than evil, main character of […]
Collider has reported that Dave Bautista has been chosen to be Drax The Destroyer in Marvel Studios’ upcoming space saga, “Guardians Of The Galaxy.” That being said, I should admit that while I haven’t seen too many films with Bautista in them, I have seen virtually every episode of “Stargate: Atlantis” with Jason Momoa, as […]
Here’s another “Iron Man 3” poster, this time focusing on Iron Man/Tony Stark and various armored suits. It appears that the penultimate Iron Man film (Yeah right, if this makes a much money as anticipated, I expect that we’ll be seeing Iron Man for a long while, which is when things get really interesting because […]
This isn’t new–it’s been available on the Interwebs for about a week now–but if you haven’t seen it, it’s new to you. What you’re looking at is the latest cast member poster from “Iron Man 3,” and I have to admit that Ben Kingsley, as the Mandarin, looks all sorts of badass, which I hope […]
