I’ll readily admit that movies like Hobbs & Shaw aren’t typically the types of movies I tend to see. Too many cars defying the laws of physics, too much exposition about people being “family” as opposed to people just acting as such. That being said I enjoyed the trailer because it rises or falls on […]
Why does this thing exist (beyond a cynical money grab, that is) like, at all? This reboot appears to be a carbon copy of the original movie, with the exception that “Chucky” is now “Buddi”– what’s with the “i” anyway?–and is powered by AI (artificial intelligence) instead of Vodou. Heck, he still SOUNDS LIKE BRAD […]
This looks pretty good. While good horror movies aren’t as hard to come by has they have been in the (recent) past, we can’t rest on our laurels because when the studios find a format they can do cheaply as possible all aspirations of a sensible plot and interesting storytelling will just as quickly go […]
I’m done with Star Wars. I enjoyed the original trilogy, but every since George Lucas left the franchise it appears that Lucasfilm is asleep at the wheel. I think they’re taking a “director-driven approach” which means a director can essentially do whatever the heck they want, never mind continuity or narrative consistency. And I’m out. […]
Movie directing is typically depicted as glamorous work, despite the issues Neil Marshall may have encountered during the production of the Hellboy reboot. Though Hollywood is rife with stories about what happens when relations between directors and studios (or casts) don’t quite go as planned. For instance, Stanley Donen originally only intended to produce 1999’s […]
A trailer for a CGI-ifed The Addams Family dropped yesterday, and it’s…okay. What’s particularly interesting to me is that the live action version from 1991 appeared a lot more visually interesting that the animated version (if the teaser is anything to judge by). It isn’t terrible, just not terribly inspired.
I. Love. This. Trailer. 1994’s Armistad Maupin’s Tales Of The City was some of the best television I have every seen. It’s remarkable stuff and I can’t wait to go back to Barbary Lane. Which as I mention in my video, my expectations are REALLY high for this, which is problematic because More Tales Of […]
I enjoyed both Hellboy (2004) and it’s sequel, Hellboy: The Golden Army (2008) and for awhile I couldn’t understand why both movies underwhelmed at the box office. Before now, that is. What I missed was that Hellboy was always a niche character. He was in the comics and apparently he’s the same in the movies. […]
I genuinely like the idea behind this trailer (it’s essentially the Punisher mixed with Batman). That being said, El Chicano!? That’s a wee bit on the nose, isn’t it? Latin peoples have a rich history, with all sorts of interesting, colorful characters, yet the filmmakers somehow settled on “El Chicano!?” It somewhat reminds me of […]
What is it with the DCEU, Worlds Of DC or whatever the heck they’re calling it this week? Now it appears they’re creating an Elseworlds version of Joker, but there’s a problem, namely that there ALREADY is a Joker! Now, whatever you may thing of Jared Leto’s version I don’t think it can be disputed […]
