In these days of false equivalency, when there are very fine people on both sides it’s kind of refreshing to see a movie making the heretofore noncontroversial point that Nazis are scum. And not only run of the mill scum, but truly monsters. By the way, I don’t know who designed the movie poster, but […]
Remember that scene from 2016’s Suicide Squad when we first meet the Enchantress (literally the best scene in the movie, which I included below)? A similar special effect is used in the trailer for the upcoming horror movie The Prodigy, which opens with a therapist is working with a troubled boy by hypnotizing him (an […]
Lately I’ve been a little leery of Screen Gems (while they did release John Carpenter’s Ghosts Of Mars–an underrated movie) because they released the horror (in a bad way) that are, for the most part, the Resident Evil movies and more recently, Slender Man. The latter being very, very ‘Meh.’ Though I have to admit […]
I’ve got to admit, this one sold me. I’ve been ambivalent about an Aquaman movie every since that ridiculous footage from Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. And while the snow-globe opening of this trailer is a bit of a cliche (for some reason Citizen Kane popped into my head though I’m sure that wasn’t […]
I don’t know about this… At first I was at least curious about Netflix’s The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina, but after having watched the full trailer…I don’t know (though my reasoning differs from why I can’t seem to get into Riverdale). In the trailer Sabrina is offered a choice: to become a fully-fledged witch (assuming […]
Now this looks funny! I like Will Ferrell best when he’s at his broadest, and here, playing Sherlock Holmes, he’s definitely swinging for the fences though I find John C. Reilly most interesting because his Watson is somewhat of a straight man to Ferrell’s bizarre Holmes. And speaking of Holmes did anyone get a very […]
I like that idea that there are all sorts of movies out there–between major studios releases and more art-house fare–that there’re options no matter what your tastes happen to be. This is a good thing because I don’t know who the audience is for Dexter Fletcher’s Rocketman though what I do know is that it’s not […]
Let’s start by being honest: I can’t stand what Fox is doing with the X-Men just as much as I can’t stand when Sony–when left to their own devices–tends to end up doing with Spider-Man. Which is ruining them. And before you bring up Deadpool, that movie was an aberration and something that if the […]
This is a damn clever trailer. It’s literally a study in contrasts, and the misinterpretation of said contrasts. Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio), known to the criminal underworld as the Kingpin, dresses in a snazzy white suit and an apartment so monochromatic that it looks like it’s adjacent to an Apple Store while his opposite–you don’t […]
When you were a child and the first time you saw a bee and chased after it, because that’s what children do–or maybe pulled a dog’s tail–you had no real idea what was going or happen, though you likely learned from that initial (potentially painful) experience. That in a nutshell is how I feel about […]
