A day or two ago the trailer for the latest season of Netflix’s Stranger Things franchise, Stranger Things 3, dropped and it looks…fine. Not great, and definitely NOT an event though that’s okay in the sense that not everything has to be an event and there should be room for smaller-scale things as well. Which […]
I like this trailer. As I have said before: Black humor is the best humor. I don’t tend to enjoy Three Stooges-type antics–unless we’re actually talking about The Three Stooges, who are AWESOME!–but humor based on manners, on quirks in typical behaviors? That’s my JAM! This trailer for Ready Or Not looks like it’s just […]
The trailer for the Square Enix video game Avengers: A-Day dropped a little while ago and while the CG is actually pretty decent–despite residing comfortably in the uncanny valley–the script appears really, really not so good in the sense that they don’t appear to get the characters right. For instance Iron Man/Tony Stark sounds almost […]
This is a great teaser though the problem is that it’s fairly common knowledge that Netflix has terminated their relationship with Marvel Television, so this is the last season of Jessica Jones, no matter where the narrative was taking her. I don’t know what’s behind the bad blood between Netflix and Marvel Television but I […]
The trailer of Godzilla: King Of The Monster dropped a week or so ago, and I can at least see the monsters–something you can’t necessarily say about the 2014 movie. It should go without saying but I. Want. To. See. The. Monsters. Why would I be remotely interested in these movies if not to see […]
Star Trek is a mess. There, I’ve said it. It’s a Gordian knot of tangled timelines–Is it Prime? Is it Kelvin? Do you care any longer?–managed by people who apparently care more about monetizing it than actually building a living, viable world within its boundaries. I lean more into Gerry Anderson than Gene Roddenberry (I […]
The teaser for Terminator: Dark Fate dropped today and it looks better than the bulk of the past movies (beyond the first two) but even the return of Linda Hamilton can’t seem to elicit a pulse this time around. And since I’m in the mood for speculation, I suspect that the problem is that standards […]
The final trailer for Brightburn dropped yesterday, and I’m genuinely curious about the movie because I get the feeling that Zach Snyder really wished he could have treated his version of Superman in a similar fashion. Though that’s not quite fair because hate isn’t the opposite of love, apathy is and that was the Snyder’s […]
The BBC (British Broadcasting Company) is adapting the trilogy known as His Dark Materials (The Golden Compass/His Dark Materials, The Subtle Knife & The Amber Spyglass) as a miniseries, which is a really good idea because if the 2007 movie has shown us anything it’s that the material requires room to breathe. And few mediums […]
The full trailer for The CW’s Batwoman dropped earlier today and it bothers me. To be honest I feel that way about quite a few things about the trailer but one thing immediately went to the top of the list. And that’s the appearance of a young Lucius Fox (played by Morgan Freeman in the […]
