You know there’s going to be a Tron 3, right? Sure, there’s been no official announcement (yet), but the signs are there, the tea leaves have been read, and the entrails have been interpreted. Correctly, I assume. Until that news comes, here’s a little news on “Tron: Uprising,” the new Grid-based series from Disney XD, […]
I asked a variation of this question before, in reference to Starz, and their airing of “Tron: Legacy.” Now it’s Netflix’s turn, which when I watch I expect to see a movie in its entirety, exactly as it was shown in theaters. So, imagine my surprise when I was watching Joe Dante‘s “The Howling”–quite possibly one […]
“Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter” is very high concept, though Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch, Day Watch, Wanted) is a director that I don’t find particularly interesting–which is a bit odd because I tend to enjoy the subject matter that he tends to make movies about–so I am not quite sure how I feel about this film. […]
While Sacha Baron Cohen is an acquired taste–I found “Bruno” a bit much, though “Borat” was fun–the man is definitely bold and seemingly fearless, which is why I think that “The Dictator” will at the very least be interesting. Then there’s the presence of Larry Charles–who I just learned isn’t the same person as Larry […]
With Matt Damon not returning to the Bourne movies, there was no way that Universal was going to give up on a franchise that has pulled in almost $950 million dollars. Enter Jeremy Renner, last seen in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and (soon) in “The Avengers.” I hope that Paul Greengrass (“The Bourne Supremacy,” “The […]
Here’s the trailer for the latest film in the Resident Evil Saga, (sorta) based on the Capcom videogame. This is not something that I would pay to see, because I have seen the prior entry, and don’t quite see the point of these films any longer. While parts on an ongoing series, they don’t feel […]
“The Amazing Spider-Man” trailer is up, and watching it makes me ask: Why? As far as I can tell Marc Webb’s reboot doesn’t appear to be bringing anything new to the party. Now keep in mind that it’s just a trailer, but how is it significantly different that Sam Raimi’s version? It will probably be […]
I missed this one, if only because I didn’t actually see the Super Bowl. Here the trailer for “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.” Thankfully, he’s not pissing fire in this one.
With companies–literally–spending millions of dollars for a 30-second spot during the Super Bowl, some may wonder what they’re spending the money on. That answer is: viewers. Despite huge costs to advertise during the game, Super Bowl XLV in 2011 brought in 111 million viewers. That’s a huge amount of eyes glued to the screen, which […]
Rememeber the idea behind 1993’s “Jurassic Park?’ The film, based upon a novel by Michael Crichton, directed by Steven Spielberg, revolves around an island where dinosaurs are brought back to life from the DNA of mosquitoes caught in amber. Our technology hasn’t quite advanced that far, though we’re getting close, yet I am willing to […]
