This movie has a title, like “John Dies At The End,” that pretty much tells you what’s going to happen at some point in the movie. That being said, I think that I care just a bit more as to why John dies as opposed to what some man is doing on a ledge. Though […]
Tasmanian Tigers (which are not related to cats, and are actually marsupials, like kangaroos) are believed to have gone extinct in 1936, though there are some that believe that they still exist in the wilds of Tasmania. It strikes me as fascinating that it could possibly be alive today, which is why I am surprised […]
Don Coscarelli has never been what one would call a prolific director (his last film was 2002’s “Bubba Ho-Tep,” though he directed the “Masters of Horror” episode, “Incident On and Off A Mountain Road” in 2005) but he’s at least an interesting one. His films tend to be a bit uneven, but strange enough to […]
I actually saw the trailer for Xavier Gans’s “The Divide” sometime in 2011, though it’s nice to see it’s finally coming out. Despite some cataclysmic event that brings a group of strangers together, it seems that their greatest enemy is themselves.
Tobe Hooper is back with “Djinn,” and while he is a talented director, he’s also somewhat erratic in terms of the quality of his output. There’s a lot of debate over whether he directed “Poltergeist,” which looks like a typical Steven Spielberg film (other than the subject matter), though that could be due to the […]
If this trailer is any indication, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” looks to be moving somewhat away for its cartoonish predecessor, and becoming the “Blackhawk Down” of toy-based action movies. If that makes any sense. That last scene on the cliff face, with Snake Eyes and the red-dressed Cobra ninjas (speaking of which, why would a ninja, […]
Liam Neeson vs. Nature. Nature doesn’t stand a chance.
I had no idea that the rights were being contested, but according to the New York Times, Marvel Entertainment owns the rights to the character, which were being challenged by Gary Friedrich, a freelance writer. It’s probably not a coincidence that Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is coming out February 17 of next year.
Tucker & Dale vs Evil, currently streaming on Netflix, is a horror/comedy with more levels than similar films. It can be taken as a cautionary tale about the perils of prejudging people, or if that goes over your head, then perhaps a story about the perils of making hair-trigger assumptions. Or you can take it […]
The first trailer below my first two paragraphs is the official Russian trailer for “The Avengers.” For some reason the characters seem more rounded (as rounded as one can get in two minutes and 13 seconds) and less like they were just posing. It strikes me as odd because I would think that more Americans […]
