I was a HUGE Heroes fan. For awhile I made it my business to catch every episode, though because of the writer’s strike and some ill-conceived creative decisions (why destroy The Company? That’s like Star Wars getting rid of the Empire. Sure you could do it, but would you really want to?) Combined with a plot that […]
And “everything we’ve got” includes trained Veloceraptors, I assume? I don’t claim to speak for anyone else, but I have a huge issue with Jurassic World–sight unseen. That issue is that from what I have read, the entire premise revolves around the engineering of a new dinosaur, Indominous Rex, an animal that–it goes without saying–will […]
“Somebody said that the road to Hell…” “…is paved with good intentions. And apparently, the road to Heaven as well.” Doctor Helena Russell (Barbara Bain) to Ernst Queller (Jeremy Kemp) from the Year One Space: 1999 episode, Voyager’s Return And while he didn’t have a reason to, Queller should have included “beneath the sea” as well. […]
Gotta say, I like where this trailer is going. Levan Gabriadze’s Unfriended looks pretty interesting and very much in the vein of The Den (if you haven’t seen it, it’s on Neflix, so check it out!). We’re also lucky that someone decided that the original title of Cybernatural was pretty hokey–that may not have been the primary […]
There’s a new Thunderbirds series coming from ITV, which is a good thing. The not-so-good-news is that the Anderson estate has nothing to do with it (if Jamie Anderson has a connection, he’s not telling), though perhaps that’s counterbalanced by Jonathan Frakes also having nothing to do with it, considering the mess that he made of […]
Isn’t it remarkable what a few days can bring? A few weeks ago, a thriller like Michael Mann‘s Blackhat–a movie that revolves around about Nicholas Hathaway (Chris Hemsworth) a cyber criminal released from prison to counter the threat of a cyber terrorist with the ability to bring a nation to its collective knees–would probably have been an […]
The full trailer for Jurassic World was released a few hours ago, and the first thing I noticed was that it’s produced with Legendary Pictures, which was unexpected. What was also a bit unusual was that lots of people being literally eaten by exhibits in the last two films didn’t seem to faze the backers this […]
James Gunn, the director of Guardians Of The Galaxy, has some interesting words for studios that create cinematic universes based on weak properties, and it’s worth reading. I mention it because Jurassic Park has spawned two sequels, Jurassic Park: The Lost World and Jurassic Park III so perhaps the time has arrived for a relaunch […]
I have never been too into the Minions, those daffy pill-shaped things from Despicable Me and its sequel. As you can tell from the picture, whatever the goal the animators were aiming for, any sort of realism wasn’t one of them. That being said, what I find interesting is that, despite the fantastical nature of the […]
I don’t get it. Joe Carnahan is a big-name director. Hell, he’s not only directed movies like The Grey, The A-Team and Smokin’ Aces but the last I heard he was executive producing the hit NBC show, The Blacklist. So how is it that his last movie, Stretch, seemed to bypass theatrical release entirely, and end up on […]
