The latest trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass is bat. Shit. Crazy. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing though. It could be batshit crazy in a The Predator way–which is a bad thing. Then again, it could be bat shit crazy in a Exorcist II: The Heretic-way, which is a movie that I really, […]
Stephen King was a cottage industry long before this apparent frenzy–likely due to the bazillion dollars IT made; a movie that was…fine but by no means as anything as people seemed to think–to remake his books came into play. Which when you think about it is a bit odd because it’s not like King doesn’t […]
I’ve got to admit, this one sold me. I’ve been ambivalent about an Aquaman movie every since that ridiculous footage from Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. And while the snow-globe opening of this trailer is a bit of a cliche (for some reason Citizen Kane popped into my head though I’m sure that wasn’t […]
I don’t know about this… At first I was at least curious about Netflix’s The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina, but after having watched the full trailer…I don’t know (though my reasoning differs from why I can’t seem to get into Riverdale). In the trailer Sabrina is offered a choice: to become a fully-fledged witch (assuming […]
Now this looks funny! I like Will Ferrell best when he’s at his broadest, and here, playing Sherlock Holmes, he’s definitely swinging for the fences though I find John C. Reilly most interesting because his Watson is somewhat of a straight man to Ferrell’s bizarre Holmes. And speaking of Holmes did anyone get a very […]
I like that idea that there are all sorts of movies out there–between major studios releases and more art-house fare–that there’re options no matter what your tastes happen to be. This is a good thing because I don’t know who the audience is for Dexter Fletcher’s Rocketman though what I do know is that it’s not […]
At some point in your life you’ve likely had people say to you that ‘the glass is half full’ or ‘things can always get better.’ Then again, those same people had probably never seen The Predator because otherwise it just might cause them to question their optimism, if only a little bit. I bring it […]
Let’s start by being honest: I can’t stand what Fox is doing with the X-Men just as much as I can’t stand when Sony–when left to their own devices–tends to end up doing with Spider-Man. Which is ruining them. And before you bring up Deadpool, that movie was an aberration and something that if the […]
This is a damn clever trailer. It’s literally a study in contrasts, and the misinterpretation of said contrasts. Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio), known to the criminal underworld as the Kingpin, dresses in a snazzy white suit and an apartment so monochromatic that it looks like it’s adjacent to an Apple Store while his opposite–you don’t […]
When you were a child and the first time you saw a bee and chased after it, because that’s what children do–or maybe pulled a dog’s tail–you had no real idea what was going or happen, though you likely learned from that initial (potentially painful) experience. That in a nutshell is how I feel about […]
