It appears that the Netflix gods finally listened to my requests for some new horror. Just a day or so ago they started showing “Intruders,” “Hunger,” “The Devil’s Rock,” “Hidden,” “Road Kill,” “Cornered,” “Girls Gone Dead,” among others. Strangely enough, they have also included a bunch of Mario Bava films, such as “The House Of […]
Now this is interesting news. The original “Poltergeist,” directed by Tobe Hooper (or Steven Spielberg, depending upon how deeply you look into things) was not exactly in need of a remake, mainly because the original film, from 1982, holds up surprisingly well, in my opinion. That being said, with the whole found footage trend that’s […]
I like most of the Scott Derrickson films that I have seen. His “Hellraiser: Inferno” was one of the better entries in the series, embracing the mythos while expanding it in new and interesting ways. I don’t much remember “The Exorcism Of Emily Rose,” though I don’t recall hating it, so that’s something. His only misstep was […]
Some are also calling “Skyfall” the best Bond ever. I assume that that’s more than a little bit of hyperbole because some of the 007 films that I enjoyed most were not necessarily the best in the series. For instance, of the Sean Connery Bond films, was never a huge fan of “Dr. No,” “From […]
I can only assume that there’s a serious mad-on between MTV and the United Kingdom because they cannot seem to stop ruining edgy/funny British television series. Other networks have adapted British television hits, with varying degrees of success. For instance, NBC’s 2003 version of “Coupling,” which failed; and 2005’s “The Office,” which is still on […]
I have to admit, this trailer kicks all sort of arse. Sure, the movie may be the cat’s balls, but this…Trailer…Rocks. I actually want to see this movie now. I feel good enough about what I have seen so far (though admittedly the Double Take Amber Ale I just consumed may be tinting my processes just […]
A while ago I posted that Marvel is considering putting its test footage for Edgar Wright’s “Ant-Man” on the Interwebs? Well they haven’t done it yet, but there was an artist in attendance at Comic-Con, and they have drawn up and posted on Youtube a reenactment of the footage. Thanks to Collider for the info.
I am not a big fan of junk food, or junk TV, yet when I heard that the Season 7, the last, of “Weeds is on Netflix, I dived right in (I’m not kidding. I found out yesterday, and am already at episode seven, just about midway). There’s something about “Weeds” that just works. The […]
The trailer for Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit” has been out for a few days, though I am just getting around to posting it. Why did I wait so long, you may ask? If I wanted to answer in the least confrontational manner possible, I would say that J.R.R Tolkien’s books don’t transition to screen all […]
For my money, Alfonso Cuarón is one of the most talented film makers working today. His “Henry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban” is one of the strongest entries in the franchise, while “Children Of Men” is one of the few movies that is actually better than the book it is based upon (besides having […]
