Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice reviews have been filtering in for the last day or two, and while they’re not all terrible–after all, someone probably even liked Hitler’s paintings–they’re pretty disastrous considering that there are literally millions, if not potentially billions, riding on its success. I intend to catch it tomorrow, and will post a review as […]
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is going up later this month, though before that we have the Second season of Marvel’s Daredevil, premiering tomorrow on Netflix. This time Daredevil faces not only The assassins known in the comics as The Hand (we saw hints of them in the first season) but the lethal vigilante known as the […]
While it’s great that Bryan Singer finally understands that he’s making movies based on comic books, the bulletin might have come just a bit too late. Reason being, we’ve got Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice premiering March 28–by the time its competition appears on the horizon hopefully it will have profitability in its sights. If it doesn’t […]
When a movie comes from Seth Rogen you typically don’t expect it to be terribly sophisticated–though considering that he, along with producing partner Evan Goldberg, have developed a series based on Vertigo’s Preacher (which is getting rave reviews) it’s not any longer a terribly accurate interpretation–and if that movie were called ‘Sausage Party’ you probably […]
I didn’t particularly like the first two trailers for Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice because they’re both filed with much bombast and thunder–as far as I can tell–signifying very little. And I might be reading into things a bit, but if feels as if director Zach Snyder equates blowing things up with seriousness, which if that […]
Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody is a pretty bold choice as far as musical accompaniment goes–I am reasonably comfortable in saying that it probably cost Warners a pretty penny to secure the rights–but I am still not sure how to feel about the new trailer for DC Films upcoming Suicide Squad. My problem is that it’s hard […]
If you’re expecting me to say something to the effect that Pitof’s 2004 super hero movie Catwoman is some sort of lost classic then you’re definitely barking up the wrong tree…because it’s not. And while the buck usually stops with the director, I don’t think that that’s entirely fair in this case, mainly because the […]
If you ask me the true test of whether or not a movie is a good one is that of time, namely if it can stand up well to repeated viewings.
I’ll readily admit that when I learned that Warner Bros. was making a movie based on Tarzan, I seriously wondered if Kevin Tsujihara was a bit out of his mind. After all, Tarzan has turned up numerous times–which leads me to believe that the character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs is in the public domain–but […]
Looks okay, by which I mean those of us really into Harry Potter will probably have a good time. I was never particularly a fan–I don’t hate it, though I don’t particularly love it, either. In other words I don’t care one way or the other. Though Warner Bros is betting a lot that there are enough less apathetic movie […]
