I like Louis Leterrier as a director. His reboot of “The Incredible Hulk” captured the essence of the character without being as angsty as Ang Lee’s somewhat torutured version. He also seems to approach his projects with genuine passion for the subject matter. Then again, he also directed the reboot of “Clash Of The Titans,” […]
“R.I.P.D,” or ‘Rest In Peace Department’ stars Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges, though why does it feel as if this film is sneaking in under the radar? The trailer plays like “Men In Black,” except with – I assume – a much, much smaller budget and various varieties of the undead, instead of aliens. It’s […]
I don’t want to like this movie. I am a Marvel fanboy and think that Superman is rather lame. Even lamer is David Goyer, who I will forever remember as the many who killed ‘Blade,” and was too arrogant to say “I’m sorry. I f%cked up.” Christopher Nolan produced the movie, whom I also don’t […]
I have to admit that, while I had heard of Suzanne Collins‘ Hunger Games Trilogy prior to the movie coming out, I didn’t expect it to make much of a splash. My bias stemmed less from the fact that her books are directed primarily at young adults – John Christopher’s ‘The White Mountains’ trilogy are […]
I have noticed that I have been using Michael Bay as a benchmark of sorts, which in a roundabout way is complementary toward his particular skill set. For instance, I created a phenomenon called “the Michael Bay Exception” which encapsulates his tendency to worship at the altar of spectacle, while things like plot and story […]
I really like this trailer. James DeMonaco, who wrote the screenplay for the excellent “Assault On Precinct 13” reboot is directing “The Purge,” which takes place in an America where crime and unemployment have fallen to unheard of lows. It’s a golden age, though nothing worth having comes without a price. That price is known […]
Here’s the complete trailer for James Mangold‘s ‘The Wolverine,” complete with narrative continuity! Here, Logan/Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) makes his way to Japan, where it appears that he somehow loses his healing factor, which is bad thing when what looks like hundreds of black pajama-clad ninjas are trying to kill you. There’s a fight on what […]
Just when you thought that we survived “Olympus Has Fallen,” here comes the more obviously titled “White House Down.” This time instead of Gerard Butler, all we have is Channing Tatum standing between us and those that would destroy our way of life. God help the terrorists, especially considering that this is from Roland Emmerich, […]
This is interesting. I was actually looking for something “Iron Man 3”-related, when I stumbled upon this trailer for the upcoming sequel to David Twohy’s “The Chronicles Of Riddick.” I don’t know when this snuck on to the Interwebs, but it looks like the real deal and not some mashup of clips from various ‘Riddick’ […]
Here’s a link to the first teaser from “The Wolverine,” which I suspect is genuine because it shows footage than has, as far as I am aware, not been available prior (and there’s the fact that it appears to be from the Twitter feed of James Mangold, who’s directing the upcoming superhero film). Unfortunately, it’s […]
