Cutting an effective trailer is a strange mix of art and science and too much of either can ruin it. And they’re more important than you think. Part of what saved Suicide Squad was the trailer, which (unfortunatel) made promises the movie itself didn’t quite live up to, was so well-received by movie goers. By […]
The Gifted is the second series begat from the deal between Marvel Entertainment and Fox and it’s curiously conventional-looking, especially compared to Legion (the first series launched on sister channel, FX). That aforementioned conventionality may have a lot to do with it being directed by Bryan Singer, who helmed many of the X-Men movies, and contributed […]
If there were an award for Most Improved Television Series, the likelihood is high that Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. would be a contender, if not the winner. It started life not sure what it wanted to be, and seemed to survive primary on the strength of Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) who’s character had seemingly died […]
Marvel Studios’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2 has–so far–earned over $425 million worldwide! The likelihood is high that the it will surpass half a billion by this week, and will more than likely finish its theatrical run over a billion dollars. It’s worth mentioning that the first movie at the end of its run […]
I caught James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2 last Saturday and what I found so impressive overall was the way Gunn managed so many stories and plot threats in a way that was not only cohesive, but made sense. Because–and trust me on this–there are so many ways Guardians could have easily collapsed […]
The teaser trailer for Marvel’s Inhumans dropped this morning (‘dropped.’ That sounds vaguely like a pregnancy reference. Not sure how I feel about that) and typical of teasers, tells you next to nothing about Marvel Television’s upcoming series. Or does it? When the trailer first opens, you can see something as the word ‘Inhumans’ pans backward. […]
‘You look like an idiot,’ said Jessica Jones, as she and Matt Murdock walked down the immaculately white hallway, their very gait daring anyone to get in their way. Murdock, a devil without a costume; wore a grey cloth around the upper half of his face, responded tersely. ‘Your scarf.’ I had little doubt in […]
2017, despite the reality of a Trump presidency, and all the insanity such an idea beings can be considered a golden age –especially if you happen to be a fan of superheroes because there are probably more viewing choices to choose from than there has ever been. The while the CW isn’t known as ‘The […]
The trailer for Marvel Television’s Cloak & Dagger dropped today, and I really liked it. Sure, it went a bit heavy on the whole YA (Young Adult) angle, though when you take into account that it’s airing on Freeform–a name that sounds more like a type of women’s undergarment than a television network–which was formerly […]
It’s James Gunn’s world, we just happen to live in it. Reason being, reviews of Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2 have begun to filter in, and they’re pretty good. Though what’s interesting is that they’re not ALL that way, yet there’s not been a peep from either Marvel or Disney as a result. This […]
