While Marvel Studios is doing some amazing things in the movie space, we sometimes forget that Marvel Television is making waves of their own on the small screen. And while they have been doing solid work with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter arguably their strongest work so far has been the series that have have […]
Numerous sites have declared Marvel Studios’ movie based on the Inhumans as either dead or removed from the Phase Three production slate. Though there are reasons to suspect that the former isn’t true and a feature–while removed from Phase Three–is still very much alive. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter with Channing Dungey, ABC Entertainment […]
The idea that James Gunn (Slither, Guardians of the Galaxy) is particularly fond of Moon Knight is really great news because I can think of nothing better than seeing the Fist of Khonshu on the big screen. But the hurdles for that happening are two-fold. First Gunn is occupied working on Guardians of the Galaxy, […]
What? You thought Bane deserved all the credit? In the past few months Warner Bros has been on a charm offensive, as far as the movies of their DC Extended Universe go, but I’m not buying it. Another thing I’m not buying are those people who claim that what is preported to be a lighter […]
A teaser trailer for Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Homecoming was released today, and having seen it I almost wish they hadn’t. First off, it has a very found footage type of feel (which is to say a bit cheap). Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, it ends with Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Tom Holland) exclaiming, “This is the coolest thing […]
1.Fox Remembered Way Too Late That These Characters Were Based On Comicbooks If you recall The original X-Men movie their costumes were black leather, which was probably done because the producers thought that audiences wouldn’t accept superheroes in all their technicolor, spandex-clad glory. And at the time, they were probably right. Though times change–though thankfully not […]
I can’t wait to see Spider-Man: Homecoming, partially because Tom Holland gave a winning, enthusiastic performance in Captain America: Civil War, but also because the movie is being produced by Marvel Studios along with Sony Pictures, which at least holds out the hope that he will be treated more faithfully than has recently been in […]
I have been a fan of comics since I learned to read–and in fact they contributed significantly to that happening–though eventually my love for the medium branched off into other adjacent areas fairly quickly. One of my favorite offshoots was old-time radio. I was an avid listener of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater in the […]
“Visually, Marvel’s Doctor Strange is unlike any movie you’ve probably seen.” And that’s not hyperbole. Some of the visual effects in Scott Derrickson’s Doctor Strange may have had their genesis in other movies–such as Inception–but he takes them to places that you have never seen before. Green screen is also nothing new, but the way […]
Let’s be clear: Based on what I have seen so far, I suspect that Patty Jenkins‘ Wonder Woman isn’t going to be a great movie. Then again, an important question that needs to be asked is if DC Films even needs it to be because at this point I imagine all that they and Warner […]
