Now this trailer I like! Unlike the ones that have been produced for domestic consumption, this has a narrative cohesion that they lack. In fact, amidst all the chaos, it almost has a Spielbergian feel at times (particularly with the little boy who’s being taken by aliens). This is the trailer that should have been […]
If you needed another reason to love Marvel Studios–besides their awesome movies–it’s probably because they’re best at translating their characters to the screen, which is why when I heard that they were preparing to launch four new series exclusively for Netflix a few months ago, I was so happy that you’d think that I was […]
This new trailer for James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy popped up on the Interwebs yesterday, and it significantly expands the scale of the universe–literally and figuratively–that the Guardians call their sandbox. It seems a conventional summer blockbuster in many ways. And in other ways, not so much. Something important about is is that–if Marvel Studios current […]
James Gunn, director of the upcoming Guardians Of The Galaxy, posted this picture by Poster Posse on his Twitter feed today, and it brings back all sorts of memories. If Guardians touches on the feelings that Star Wars evoked, even a little bit, it’s going to be awesome.
According to Variety, Scott Derrickson is directing Doctor Strange for Marvel Studios! This is an awesome choice because, judging by some of the films that he has directed, like Sinister, Hellraiser: Inferno and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, to name a few, show that he has a grasp of the strange and unusual. A quality that’s a […]
Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past (review coming soon) just crossed the $500 million dollar barrier, making it the highest grossing of the X-Men films (the link contains spoilers. If you have not seen the movie, ignore it). And my response is: So what. What people seem to be missing is that 20th Century Fox is mismanaging […]
I like this trailer. Every since Marathon Man and Three Days of the Condor I have been a fan of the conspiracy thriller, though not any conspiracy thriller. I like those best that have a relatively ordinary person caught in circumstances that spiral way, way beyond their control. And sometimes an even not-quite-so ordinary (Captain America: The […]
It’s all over the Interwebs that Edgar Wright (Shawn Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End) has left Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man over “creative differences.” While I think that this wasn’t a great move on Wright’s part–Marvel Studios movies tend to be huge, virtually guaranteeing that their whomever directs one of them access to bigger and better things, […]
For the first time Pixar is taking on a Marvel property. Big Hero 6 is a superhero team that–at least in the comics–has ties to Marvel’s X-Men. In fact, the comic where they first appeared was called “Sunfire & Big Hero 6.” Sunfire being a mutant from the X-Men comics. And seeing that connection and the fact that mutants, […]
I honestly don’t know what to make of this movie. I am relatively sure that the structure will be similar to many movies that have come before, but if feels so odd…and I don’t necessarily mean in a bad way. This time around James Gunn is giving use the goods. We see both Groot (Vin […]
