The picture on the left is from the Catacombs of Paris, which I took myself. If you haven’t seen them, they’re worth checking out. They’re also a bit on the morbid side, but as far as I am concerned were the primary motivator for me visiting Paris in the first place. I was so impressed that when […]
I am not terribly familiar with the Norse concept of Ragnarök, though I do know that it revolves around the end of the world and all sorts of unpleasantness (which according to Wikipedia doesn’t typically include really large lizard-like monsters). I should mention that I found this trailer while I was searching for the trailer […]
Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes – Final Trailer I am just not buying it. Sure, there was that genetically-engineered virus in Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes which reduced the human population significantly enough that the apes could gain a foothold, as well as increasing their intelligence to such a degree that it […]
Paddington is based upon the children’s storybook character Paddington Bear, who I imagine is bigger in Europe, like The Adventures of Tintin, which formed the basis of a 2011 film directed by Steven Spielberg that was produced by Peter Jackson and written by Edgar Wright, Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat. I also expected to be creeped […]
Now this trailer I like! Unlike the ones that have been produced for domestic consumption, this has a narrative cohesion that they lack. In fact, amidst all the chaos, it almost has a Spielbergian feel at times (particularly with the little boy who’s being taken by aliens). This is the trailer that should have been […]
What is it about Australia and the fall of civilization? Is it because they have the Outback, a desert space that will in no uncertain terms kill you if you venture into it unprepared? Or is there something in the Australian character that makes Man, as well as everything that we have ever created, broken and hanging […]
I don’t quite know what to make of Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman. On one level it appears to be a superhero drama, on another it appears to be a dark comedy. I get the feeling that this Birdman only exists in the imagination of Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) whom appears to be a washed-up actor. What his […]
This movie is going to be huge. With The Transformers: Age Of Extinction and Guardians Of The Galaxy coming, The Equalizer probably isn’t on too many people’s radar, though it should be. It’s based upon the 1985 CBS television series that starred the late Edward Woodward. He played a private detective, and former intelligence agent, that […]
Like Clint Eastwood’s Jersey Boys, Tate Taylor‘s Get On Up is a purportedly autobiographical, though it covers the life of James Brown (and in case you were curious, his name is actually James Brown), as opposed to Frankie Valli. Though like the aforementioned Clint Eastwood Joint, it’s also not quite my cup of tea.
Here are the latest trailers from Clint Eastwood‘s film, Jersey Boys, purportedly the story of Frankie Valli (considering his original name was Francesco Stephen Castelluccio ‘Frankie Valli’ rolls off the tongue much, much easier) and The Four Seasons. It’s not the type of movie I am typically drawn to, but if it happened to be on television […]
