Davis Ayer’s Bright is a fascinating movie for numerous reasons. The first being that it was directed by Ayer himself, off the box office success of Suicide Squad. Next is that it was written by Max Landis, son of John Landis and a in-demand writer. Though what’s most interesting is that it’s being financed to the […]
I really, really like this recently released clip from Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant because it seems–with good reason–to assume that most viewers are already familiar with the xenomorphs and instead spends its time developing the human characters. And there’s more character development in the just over four minute scene than in some entire movies, which […]
The All Nighter looks pretty amusing. The role J.K. Simmons plays–a concerned father who’s daughter has gone missing-vaguely reminds me of Liam Neeson’s character in the Taken movies, but geared toward comedy. Speaking of Simmons he’s perhaps one of the more versatile character actors working today, with an enviable ability to elevate whatever he happens […]
I’m going to just come out and say it. Aquaman is lame. And sure, much effort has been invested by DC Comics to give the character just a bit of much needed edge in the past few years, though his corny past is never terribly far behind. If your preferences ran toward water-based superheroes, as […]
Avengers: Infinity War has begun filming in Atlanta and I know this because Marvel has released a featurette telling me so! And it looks really, really awesome. I know it’s early days yet, but it’s as if Marvel has built this massive edifice; they’ve shown us some of the rooms and we’ve seen how sprawling […]
Marvel Studios was the first studio to create a interlinked series of movies– known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe or MCU–based upon preexisting properties (like Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the Hulk) that culminated in event movies (such as The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron) that featured all (or the bulk of) the […]
Because let’s be honest, I have no one intention of seeing movies like Transformers: The Last Knight because ‘Fool me twice, shame on you. Fool me three times, shame on me.’ I also don’t particularly care about the Pirates of the Carribean movies either, because…pirates. Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2 Super Bowl Trailer What amazes me […]
Some fan sites have speculated that Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones, X-Men: Days of Future Past) would appear as M.O.D.O.K, which stands for Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing in Marvel Studios’ upcoming Avengers: Infinity War (though I get the feeling the people who are making this suggestion are not only unaware who M.O.D.O.K is, but how […]
We’ve Got This Covered recently featured a video offering a little–very little, if truth be told–look at the latest entry in the Star Trek Saga, Star Trek: Discovery. And while my first question is why isn’t Manny Coto involved? Star Trek: Enterprise was at its best when he came on board perhaps that’s not the […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ben Affleck will no longer be directing the tentatively titled The Batman for Warner Bros, though he still intends to star (and probably write with Geoff Johns) the upcoming feature. Part of me wonders if Affleck’s change of heart has anything to do with his latest feature, Live By Night […]
