Dean Devlin, director of the troubled (anytime another director comes in to do $15 million worth of reshoots on your movie, it’s safe to assume there are serious problems, no matter how the studio spins it) movie Geostorm, apparently learned more than a little bit about making disaster films from Roland Emmerich, who he worked with (as a producer) […]
This is a fascinating trailer (and probably more interesting than any trailer has any right to be), so let’s start at the beginning. First off, take a gander at this. Why are they wearing these masks? It certainly isn’t for reasons of protecting against the introduction of bacteria because they have so many large holes […]
Don’t get me wrong, the latest trailer for Alien: Covenant looks pretty good–after all, it’s directed by Ridley Scott, so it goes without saying that cinematographically-speaking it’s going to be gorgeous. What bothers me a bit though is that it doesn’t seem to be doing anything particularly new. Out the box we get colonists, shots […]
Davis Ayer’s Bright is a fascinating movie for numerous reasons. The first being that it was directed by Ayer himself, off the box office success of Suicide Squad. Next is that it was written by Max Landis, son of John Landis and a in-demand writer. Though what’s most interesting is that it’s being financed to the […]
I really, really like this recently released clip from Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant because it seems–with good reason–to assume that most viewers are already familiar with the xenomorphs and instead spends its time developing the human characters. And there’s more character development in the just over four minute scene than in some entire movies, which […]
The All Nighter looks pretty amusing. The role J.K. Simmons plays–a concerned father who’s daughter has gone missing-vaguely reminds me of Liam Neeson’s character in the Taken movies, but geared toward comedy. Speaking of Simmons he’s perhaps one of the more versatile character actors working today, with an enviable ability to elevate whatever he happens […]
Avengers: Infinity War has begun filming in Atlanta and I know this because Marvel has released a featurette telling me so! And it looks really, really awesome. I know it’s early days yet, but it’s as if Marvel has built this massive edifice; they’ve shown us some of the rooms and we’ve seen how sprawling […]
Marvel Studios was the first studio to create a interlinked series of movies– known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe or MCU–based upon preexisting properties (like Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the Hulk) that culminated in event movies (such as The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron) that featured all (or the bulk of) the […]
Because let’s be honest, I have no one intention of seeing movies like Transformers: The Last Knight because ‘Fool me twice, shame on you. Fool me three times, shame on me.’ I also don’t particularly care about the Pirates of the Carribean movies either, because…pirates. Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2 Super Bowl Trailer What amazes me […]
Twentieth Century Fox’s Logan is indicative of their problems managing their X-Men franchise. Supposedly it’s going to be R-rated, not because Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is a mutant who’s primarily features are a healing factor, Adamantium-coated claws and a bestial nature to match, but because Deadpool had an R- rating, and it gave Fox almost […]
