The trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune dropped earlier today and it left me genuinely confused because I’m not quite sure who it’s supposed to appeal to. And it was a great, epic-looking trailer but I still don’t understand why it is that Hollywood feels the need to force movies based on Frank Herbert’s visionary sci-fi […]
Matt Reeves The Batman trailer dropped yesterday at DC’s Fandome and – if I’m being honest – is the only reason that anyone should remotely care about DC’s presentation. It’s an interesting trailer for quite a few reasons – not all of them good – though it works really well overall. First off, it’s accompanied […]
Yesterday the trailer for Zach Snyder’s Justice League – Yes, that’s the title – dropped yesterday as a part of DC’s Fandome event and I have beef with it. For a start, if you take a look at the poster you’ll see that ‘Zach Snyder’ is bigger than ‘Justice League,’ which is problematic for all […]
A few hours ago Matt Reeves, director of the upcoming The Batman, dropped some images of the Batmobile. So, let’s take a closer look… The silhouette is pretty interesting though those massive fender flares aren’t doing it any favors. As you can likely tell, it’s probably based on a Dodge Challenger. That being said, the […]
Comicbook.com just posted a complete image of the Batsuit from Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman, and it’s hard to say if it works visually. And that’s because you can’t necessarily tell how well a costume works from spy shots because superhero suits are designed to be depicted in a certain way and in a particular […]
I could not stand 2014’s The Maze Runner because I grew up on Young Adult novels and it felt as if it looked at the subject matter somewhat contemptuously. The Scorch Trials is as irritating, though in a slightly different way. It still looks at the YA genre somewhat contemptuously, but is so weirdly edited […]
The Hollywood Reporter released a video that showed Robert Pattinson in what I think it’s safe to assume is the Batman costume from Matt Reeves’ upcoming movie. I took a screenshot from the video and lightened it and…what I could make out doesn’t look great. It feels very ‘Daredevil,’ not the Netflix series but the […]
Despite initial predictions of an opening somewhere in the ballpark of $50 million for Warner Bros/DC Films’ Birds Of Prey: And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn the movie has underwhelmed domestically, earning $33+ million here for a total of just over $81 million worldwide. That opening is not only below estimates, it’s potentially […]
Like assholes, likely everyone has an opinion…as to why Ava DuVernay is directing New Gods for DC Films. What brought this line of inquiry to mind was the a story from Comicbooknews about DuVernay directing a show called DMZ (starring the breathtaking Rosario Dawson). The last big-budget feature she directed was Disney’s A Wrinkle In […]
Is it just me or is Christopher Nolan one of the most visually unimaginative directors working today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that he’s not good at what he does–I not saying that at all–though what I am saying is that Nolan grounds everything in reality to such a degree that it makes […]
