It appears that the zombie genre has greater legs than anyone might have anticipated (AMC’s The Walking Dead–despite a ratings decline–still shuffles on while spawning a sequel–Fear The Walking Dead–a somewhat unnecessary admonition) and along the way appears to have discovered a legitimacy few horror genres have had prior. Though that shouldn’t be a surprise […]
The trailer for Deadpool 2 dropped yesterday, so here’s the Red band version (because unlike Deadpool, we’re all adults). And speaking of Mr. Pool, the first movie wasn’t nearly as risqué, innovative or clever as it liked to think it was though it was an interesting–at the time–and novel interpretation of a superhero, unending […]
If I can be honest for a moment: While the idea of a channel dedicated to science fiction is a great idea, SyFy is shockingly lame. For a start, what does ‘SyFy’ even mean (other than a uber-pretentious and dumb way of spelling ‘SciFi.’ that is)? But let’s for a moment look beyond the general […]
Having speculated yesterday on what Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger needed to succeed-a healthy budget and good FX (solid acting and characters easy to relate to should go without saying)–and having just watched the trailer I think they got Dagger right. Her light knives looked a bit too ‘solid’ for me initially, but on repeat viewing […]
“Let’s talk about this plan of yours.” says Star-Lord, while Peter Parker looks on bemused, while Drax looks just grim. “I think it’s good, except it sucks. Let me do the plan, that way it might be really good.” “Wow.” Tony Stark relies, perfectly capturing how much of an ass he thinks Quill is in […]
I don’t know who these ‘Avengers’ are, though it’s about time John Steed and Emma Peel got a movie they can call their own. All kidding aside–though it would really be awesome if they did get another try at a feature–I find it always interesting when we get a teaser for a trailer (which is […]
I was never particularly a Harry Potter fan–in fact, the only of the Potterverse movies I own is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, directed by the great Alfonso Cuarón–it should go without saying that I don’t particularly care about the prequels. And speaking of prequels, the teaser trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes […]
Who the hell wants to see Christopher Robin!? That’s at least what I thought when I heard about this trailer; that is till I saw it and realized how absolutely charming it is. The movie visually feels vaguely like The Hudsucker Proxy (directed by the Cohen brothers) as Christoper Robin finds himself in world far […]
While I don’t think that it’s disputable that Marvel on Netflix has upped the ante on superheroes on television immensely that’s not for a moment to imply that there aren’t problems. The biggest of which (in my eyes) is that no matter the series–Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones or Luke Cage–they never seem to quite […]
It’s odd that from the opening to about midway the trailer for Wreck–It–Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks The Internet feels more like the original trailer for Tron–also from Disney–than it does anything else. Though it eventually finds its footing and ends in a surprising bit of gore (though this being a Disney Animation joint, none of […]
