Here’s the movie poster for Joseph Kosinski’s upcoming “Oblivion.” I like the whole post-apocalyptic vibe, though what I assume to be a spacecraft in the lower right side of the poster looks way too over-designed. Then again, that could be because I am accustomed to space craft that look like he USS Cygnus from Disney’s […]
I have been saying for the longest time that the sequel to Joseph Kosinski’s 2010 film “Tron: Legacy” was going to happen, and it appears that we are closer than ever. According to Superherohype, a new writer is on the project, and Disney wants to move forward sooner rather than later. Choosing a new writer isn’t […]
Superherohype is saying that Kevin Feige, Robert Downey, Jr., and Shane Black, the director of the film, are saying that the upcoming “Iron Man 3” will not be a “serious” movie. Feige, Downey and Black are closer to the production than I am (by an almost indescribable degree), so I think that we can take […]
The penultimate film in the ‘Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2′ is estimated to earn around $135 million over the coming weekend. This is a great thing from Lionsgate, which purchased Summit Entertainment a few months ago, and the millions of fans of the franchise. For those of us that like their vampires to act […]
` I am not a huge fan of Daniel Craig’s James Bond—I prefer Pierce Brosnan and Timothy Dalton—though with “Skyfall” not only will he gain busloads of fans but those that count themselves among the true believers will be ecstatic. I have always had an on-off relationship with James Bond. The Sean Connery Bond films were […]
If tears don’t threaten at any point during “Paperman” (the Disney short that airs before the feature) or “Wreck-It Ralph” you’re made of stone. A few minutes ago I was trying to explain Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph” to my sister, who has three children, two of them younger than five. Despite enjoying the movie myself, I would not recommend it to […]
Now this is interesting news! According to Collider, Jamie Foxx is rumored to be interested in the part of Electro in the sequel of “The Amazing Spider-Man.” Now keep in mind that his skin color isn’t integral AT ALL to the character. Despite this being the case, and if it’s confirmed, wait to see all […]
In case you haven’t yet heard, Disney now owns Lucasfilm, as well as the rights to make future Star Wars and Indiana Jones films. As I posted elsewhere, how Twentieth-Century Fox let this one go (could this have something to do with Tom Rothman leaving) is almost beyond comprehension, though their loss is Disney’s gain. […]
“Nolanitis” is a disease I named after Christopher Nolan, the director of the Batman Saga. A definite sign of the condition is when film makers feel the need to render the fantastic, the wonderful, on more human terms, sapping the aforementioned fantasticalness and wonder in the name of a realism no one asked for in […]
“Argo,” despite revolving around a fake film, is a very real, engaging movie. I recently tried to watch J.J. Abrams’ “Super 8,” but its depiction of the 1970’s for some reason felt like it was filtered through someone’s perception of what the era should have felt like, as opposed to being based upon any real metric. […]
