[youtube-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqHhKuCQmoY] Michael Fassbender as Macbeth? I was never a huge Shakespeare fan though I always had a special place in my heart for Macbeth (“Double, double, toil and trouble…”). So, despite the fact that there are no spaceships, monsters (at least none not of the human variety) or superheroes, this is a movie that I’d consider catching.
I have to admit that Will Smith portraying a character with an accent (which I can’t place. It sounded vaguely Jamaican or Haitian, though not quite) in Peter Landesman’s Concussion caught me off-guard (as did Albert Brooks being virtually bald). That being said, I heard during Joe Rogan’s podcast that perhaps football players should consider using leather […]
I don’t tend to catch thrillers in theaters (if it isn’t horror, science fiction or Marvel Studios I don’t tend to be too interested, truth be told) though when I saw the trailer for The Perfect Guy I was surprised at how effective the first trailer was. I appreciate a slow burn, and the portrayal […]
I am not a big fan of DC superheroes, though I am a huge fan of Legos (though to be fair I was weaned on Batman; as I got older my comic preferences shifted). That being said, I enjoyed the somewhat goofy adventures of the Justice League from the cartoon, though I had soft spot for the villains, particularly […]
Christopher Landon’s Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse on the face of it looks like fun, and while I was a boy scout when I was younger, there’s something that has always felt a bit off-putting to me about people who don’t outgrow it. That being said, the movie looks like there’s some potential for hilarity among […]
I don’t know about this. Notice the title. It’s not “Frankenstein,” but “Victor Frankenstein,” the point being that they seem to be moving away somewhat from Frankenstein’s Monster, to the man that assembled Frankenstein’s Monster. That’s an important difference, and one I am not sure I like. Then again, I’ve always been more of a werewolf/Wolfman sort […]
“One of these fellows is not who he says he is.” says John ‘The Hangman’ Ruth (Kurt Russell), which is sort of ironic coming from Russell, seeing that he he also starred in John Carpenter’s The Thing. The Hateful Eight is the latest from Quentin Tarantino, who’s last movie was Django Unchained, in some ways a […]
For awhile France was the place to go for innovative horror (and where directors like Alexandre Aja and Xavier Gens hail), now it seems that there’s been a shift to Australia. Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead is currently on Netflix, and it’s pretty clever–in terms of where it takes zombie horror, not so much in terms of visuals. And […]
Let’s be honest…the trailer for The Vatican Tapes doesn’t look that great–and you’ll notice that it’s supposedly coming in July–and while I could have missed it last month, I don’t think so. I get the feeling one reason it exists is to ride on the coattails of Michael Peña’s success with Ant-Man, though what interests me even […]
Because that’s how Screenphiles rolls;)
