I really want to see this movie despite the subject matter not being as novel as the producers seem to think. I recall reading many years ago an Inhumans comic that revolved around massive cities that moved around and occasionally fought each other. Then there was Clive Barker’s In The Hills, The Cities from Volume […]
Lars von Trier is apparently a pretty screwed-up guy. From his flirtation with Hitler at Cannes a few years ago to a problem with alcohol (which may be intertwined) the guy clearly has some baggage. I’m not a fan–I enjoyed 2011’s Melancholia and barely recall having seen 2009’s Antichrist–but to me he sounds like a guy teetering […]
I didn’t catch the original Happy Death Day in theaters–it looked okay but seemed to play too much like a more violent Groundhog Day (which was a pretty horrific movie when you think about it) though apparently that didn’t stop other people from catching it. It goes without saying that the movie comes from Blumhouse […]
I’ve been aware of the Artemis Fowl books for awhile now–they’re a Young Adult series from Scholastic–and they seemed pretty popular with students at the school I used to work at. And while I can’t speak for the books, this is a clever trailer! I have no idea what it’s about–not a bad thing when […]
Earlier today Disney released a trailer for the live-action iteration of their 1984 animated feature, The Lion King and no one should be particularly surprised, especially after 2016’s The Jungle Book, where we saw that CGI could render panthers, bears, hyenas and other animals with remarkable accuracy (I’d be amiss if I also didn’t mention […]
I’m not quite sold on James Wan’s Aquaman. This is besides the fact that think, for the most part, the DCEU (DC Cinematic Universe) is a bit of a clusterfuck, which is problematic because it consists of characters so iconic, so well-known that it should be relatively difficult to screw it up. After all, Marvel […]
What’s the point of Once Upon A Deadpool, or as I like to call it, Deadpool 2-lite? A cynical money grab by Fox to see if they could milk more dinero from a movie already released–and gone–from theaters? A ploy by Disney–who gained the rights to Deadpool and all the characters that comprise the […]
The trailers prior to Teaser Trailer #2 for Focus Features’ upcoming Captive State were perhaps too clever for their own good. Reason being, when I first saw the first teaser I assumed that it dealt with a Purge-type situation, which I lost interest in pretty quickly because…the Purge. But the second trailer has revealed that, […]
Watching the final trailer for Robert Rodriguez’s Alita: Battle Angel I was struck by how unremarkable–and somewhat mundane–it appeared to be. And that’s not quite fair. It’s a good-looking trailer, and features actors like Christoph Waltz, Mahershala Ali and (this should go without saying since Alita: Battle Angel is also produced by James Cameron’s Lightstorm […]
Pixar’s Toy Story movies have been consistently good, which is really difficult to do. Though they’re not typically movies I’m drawn to, I do understand that they’re oftentimes pretty remarkable and definitely have their audience. Toy Story 4 is the latest in the series, though having just watched the trailer…it looks fine, but hints at […]
