I’ve never been a fan of Dario Argento–or giallo movies in general for that matter–possibly because there always seemed to be so much going on on top of the feeling that horror lovers were supposed to like them by default, never mind that I never thought that they were particularly good. Or perhaps I should […]
I need to see this movie. I read a week or so ago that the trailer was shown in a theater in Australia and it freaked everyone out (though to be fair it was prior to a showing of Peter Rabbit, with an audience likely made up mainly of children and their parents). What I find […]
The trailer for the Happytime Murders is admittedly funny, but the idea of children’s television characters acting inappropriately has a long history in television and movies. Here’s a scene from the ‘Smiletime‘ episode from Angel (1999). And Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) revolved around cartoon characters interacting with the ‘real’ world–as opposed to puppets–though the same […]
Spike Lee can be a very controversial director, though I typically find his movies somewhat difficult to watch. This is due less to the subject matter–though he can be a bit pedantic at times–than he has certain stylistic tendencies (such as putting the actors on dollies and pulling them through a scene) that typically feels […]
Yesterday Netflix released a trailer for the second season of Luke Cage, one of the four series from Marvel Television and it looks…okay. Cage seems to have accepted a degree of notoriety in his life–which truth be told is unavoidable when you take into account everyone is running around with technology that makes them their […]
Watching the teaser trailer for Otto Bathurst‘s upcoming Robin Hood I wonder if it’s alternate title was Arrow: The REALLY Early Years because thematically it plays just like an episode of that series in a medieval setting. Though that’s picking nits. A more significant problem potentially is that, despite being masked, how is it even […]
Now this is an interesting trailer (and made even more so considering the events of Avengers: Infinity War) because the MCU has never forgotten that a ‘teaspoon of sugar makes the medicine go down’–unlike the DCEU who apparently never heard of the truism in the first place. And while I believe that Infinity War was […]
According to Comicbook.com fan-favorite (at least THIS fan) Nova is being considered for a role in the MCU by the president of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige (despite James Gunn not being particularly fond of the character). That’s probably fairly obvious, but did you know, attributable to the same source, that Moon Knight is also particularly […]
You don’t typically get much in the way of mea culpas (and in Latin, no less!) out of me, but seeing that I originally posted that George R.R. Martin’s Nightflyers was on Syfy, not Netflix , I felt an apology was in order. This is important for two reasons. First, I subscribe to Netflix, not […]
According to Bleeding Cool, X-Men: Dark Phoenix will be the last X-Men movie released by Fox because it’s believed that Disney would have completed their purchase of the studio by that time (and it goes without saying that Kevin Feige is just itching to get his hands on characters like the X-Men and the Fantastic […]
