Originally I was going to open things up with the trailer for 50 Shades of Gray, but let’s be honest: I don’t care about that movie, and if you’re reading this blog you probably don’t either. And not that anyone asked, but–since I am being honest–the best thing that could have happened to Charlie Hunnam […]
Tusk comes courtesy of Kevin Smith, a director that I find more interesting as a media personality than as a director. The last film of his I saw, Red State, I recall being disappointed over because it advertised itself as one thing–a horror film–when it was actually quite another–essentially a thriller about religious zealots. His most […]
You don’t watch a movie called Hot Tub Time Machine expecting any sort of high-brow humor–and if you did it’s all on you because there wasn’t any be found–but what you did get was three actors thrown in the pretty bizarre situation, and their idiosyncratic ways of coping and adapting. When you think about it, […]
There may be more Guardians of the Galaxy trailers coming, but seeing that the movie is coming out in a bit less than two weeks, this is the last one (unless a new one has something more interesting to reveal) that I intend to post. The reason being, as far as I am concerned they’re […]
I enjoy horror and science fiction movies, primarily, but they’re not the only type that I enjoy. For instance, John Schlesinger’s Marathon Man, Sydney Pollack’s Three Days of the Condor, George Roy Hill’s Slap Shot and Robert Altman’s M.A.S.H are four films that I hold in particularly high esteem. Which is primarily because they’re so different than […]
I don’t get this movie. There’s a small town, heinous crimes involving young women and someone played by Daniel Radcliffe growing horns. Horns was written by Joe Hill, who happens to be the son of Stephen King. He’s probably not as prolific as his dad (which means that he’ll produce a full-length novel only every other week). What’s in the […]
If anyone had asked me if a movie about a twister being turned into a shark-delivery system was a good idea, I’d humor them a bit before I said: “A twister full of sharks?! That’s the dumbest idea I have ever heard of!” “Now get out of my office!” Which would have, in hindsight, been the wrong […]
This looks awesome. The Pixar-infusion to Disney Animation has apparently done wonders because this looks incredible. Now combined with some goodness from the Marvel side of the family, there’s virtually no way that Big Hero 6 can’t be a hit.
From what I can tell from the trailer Brian A. Miller‘s The Prince has nothing at all to do with Machiavelli’s book, which is a pity because I think it would be particularly neat to see a bad guy who treated it as his moral compass. That being said, the ‘Prince’ is this particular instance is […]
As you can tell from the screenshots of the Tweets that I have included below, I have been having a few conversations with Baymax, of Disney’s upcoming Big Hero 6. He’s very literal, as is the way with most machines–and reminds me quite a bit of Apple Inc’s Siri. Besides, how can you resist a mug like […]
