Apparently the sequel to Matt Reeves’ The Batman (2022) is called The Batman – Part II, which is an interesting title considering not only that there was no The Batman – Part I but the first movie didn’t end with an indication that it was the first part of anything. That a sequel was expected […]
Which genuinely surprises me because I thought it was pretty safe to assume that the movie would go directly to streaming though The Hollywood Reporter has another tale to tell. Apparently a theatrical release is happening via Fantom Events, which makes me wonder who they’re expecting to see it because I’ve don’t see it as […]
I really enjoyed Tron (1982) – particularly the Wendy Carlos soundtrack – and didn’t mind the sequel, Tron: Legacy (2010), though I eventually came to appreciate it. Which exactly mirrored my feelings toward Daft Punk’s soundtrack and to this day I wondered if there was some reason she didn’t return for the sequel (beyond the […]
Remember Birds of Prey – or as it later came to be (ridiculously and somewhat pretentiously) called, Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn? That movie underwhelmed at the box office, earning just over $200 million worldwide – which would be a triumph if it were more moderately-budgeted. Though one that […]
Bruce Willis isn’t a bad actor – he starred in Die Hard for Heaven’s sake! – but the thing is lately he doesn’t appear to particularly…care. And don’t interpret that to mean that he’s just “phoning it in” because that at least takes an actor to be in the moment and just choose not give […]
As you can probably guess, I really like words though as a focus of a television show it’s probably not something most people would find engaging. Then again there’s Netflix’s History of Swear Words. What makes it interesting is not only that it takes commonly used curses – which if you’ve existed on this planet […]
I’m trying something new with my Youtube channel, Trailer Into REaction w/News because there’re sometimes things I want to comment in the entertainment news arena on don’t necessarily want to spend an inordinate amount of time on a particular topic. And besides, I don’t have a dedicated “News” feature on my channel and I’m not […]
The vampire myth may have began it’s ascent into the public eye with Bram Stoker’s Dracula in 1897 though his novel is believed to be based upon an actual person, Vlad Tepes, otherwise known as Vlad the Impaler (1431-1467) – for his bloodthirstiness toward his enemies. He tended to impale them on stakes – who […]
The original Grizzly (1976) was clearly at attempt to capitalize on the success of Jaws (1973), changing the setting from a seaside resort town to an unnamed national park in the United States (it was filmed in Georgia) and the threat from a shark to a grizzly. In and of itself, it’s a pretty unremarkable […]
Typically the only thing learned from a teaser trailer is next to nothing (which is why they’re called ‘teasers’). Though there’s more here than meets the eye because it’s described thusly by IMDB: “A quiet drifter is tricked into a janitorial job at the now condemned Wally’s Wonderland. The mundane tasks suddenly become an all-out […]
