Remember Jim Carrey’s live action portrayal in Dr. Suess’s The Grinch That Stole Christmas (in case you don’t I’ve included the trailer. You’re welcome)? How The Grinch That Stole Christmas (2000) If there were ever characters designed to be animated, it’s Dr. Seuss’ s because his drawings, when placed in a real life context, come […]
I was particularly unimpressed with the teaser trailer for Halloween (2018). Then again, they call them ‘teasers’ for a reason. The full trailer is better but not by a lot. Reason being, if you were in the water with a shark, would you wave a bloody steak in front of it? Probably not, yet there’s […]
This is really weird. Here’s the final trailer for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom And here’s the first trailer for the same movie: Have you noticed that if it weren’t for the same cast and dinosaurs that they play like trailers for entirely different movies? And that’s because the final trailer gives away plot points perhaps […]
If you recall, I wasn’t terribly unimpressed by the Slender Man trailer, namely because it was too impressionistic for it’s own good. Now the trailer for Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare–as opposed to the Truth or Dare that documented Madonna’s 1990 Blond Ambition tour (which depending upon the lens you view it through could be considered […]
The seeming collapse of Universal’s Dark Universe cinematic universe should maybe be seen as a blessing in disguise. Keep in mind Alex Kurtzman’s The Mummy earned over $409 million on a budget of $125 million, which isn’t a terrible outcome (though promotional costs, which I haven’t seen, are important) and indicates an interest in the concept. […]
M. Night Shyamalan continues to have a very interesting career. For awhile, he was by some considered the heir apparent” to Steven Spielberg, which is very rarified air. And I can’t imagine that not going to his head a little bit, which probably has at least a little to do with Lady in the Water. That being said, I […]
The Secret Life Of Pets – Trailer 1 With voice talent provided by Louie C.K. and Kevin Hart, you’d think that The Secret Life Of Pets would be pretty awesome, never mind funny. The Secret Life Of Pets – Trailer 2 But if the reviews that are coming in are any indicator, then seeing this movie is akin to […]
2013’s The Purge was always a guilty pleasure of mine, despite that if you take away the fascinating concept of a 12-hour period once a year in which you’re free kill whomever you want, you’re left with what is a simple home invasion thriller. With the 2014 sequel, The Purge: Anarchy the concept began to […]
Paul Greenglass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum and Matt Damon are back with the further adventures of super spy Jason Bourne with Jason Bourne. Though what I find most interesting is if Greenglass and Damon can make Jason Bourne relevant in these days where characters like Captain America play […]
The primary reason I don’t believe in ghosts–besides never having seen one–is that if tragedy/violence of some sort is the reason for them being, then we’d be literally stumbling over them at virtually every step. Think about it for a moment: If you take even a cursory glance at the history of any country, you won’t have […]
