You might thing that I was intending to wright ‘Zombies,’ but if you did you probably weren’t aware that this is from The Asylum. Zoombies is not about the typical–zombies have become so mainstream that I can write that without a bit of irony–undead but instead zombified animals at a safari park that begin to […]
I have to admit that I was feeling a bit lukewarm about the new Ghostbusters. My biggest issue was that the casting of an all-female team seemed like a less than organic move by the filmmakers than one apparently designed to placate people who believe that movies should be more diverse. And movies should be more diverse, of […]
The quote “What goes up, must come down,” has been attributed to Issac Newton, though apparently no one told Bob Iger over at Walt Disney because two of his studios, Pixar and Marvel Studios, spend most of them time defying gravity, with releases that consistently break box office records. Though maybe Newton got it right […]
The only problem with this clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live is that it runs a bit long, hitting viewers over the head with something that would have worked much better with a lighter touch. That being said, Kimmel brings up a good point, namely who doesn’t wonder when watching movies like Man Of Steel, when […]
Sure, the actual lyric is “I sing the Body Electric,” but once you take a look at the new Marvel’s Daredevil trailer featuring Elektra (Elodie Yung) you’ll see why my version is a bit more apropos.
Pete’s Dragon was a Disney movie made in 1977 that–like other Disney movies at the time–was a mixture of live action and hand-drawn animation. Think of it as the CGI of its time. What about the new version? Looking at the trailer, I Initially thought that I was revisiting The Jungle Book, which also revolves around a […]
Peter Hyams’ 1997’s creature-feature, The Relic, was a pretty good movie. It featured Tom Sizemore (despite his personal foibles, the man’s a damn good actor) as Lt. Vincent D’Agosta, who had to stop a mysterious killer who’s MO was beheading. He follows the bodies to–if I recall–The Museum of Natural History, where something monstrous has returned home. And it’s a good movie, […]
The primary reason I don’t believe in ghosts–besides never having seen one–is that if tragedy/violence of some sort is the reason for them being, then we’d be literally stumbling over them at virtually every step. Think about it for a moment: If you take even a cursory glance at the history of any country, you won’t have […]
Marvel Television, in the shows that they have made for Netflix–so far we’ve seen Jessica Jones and Daredevil, soon to be followed by Luke Cage and Iron Fist and culminating in The Defenders–have created some of the most addictive television in recent memory. It’s worth mentioning that since you’re getting an entire season all at once, most viewers are […]
Do you think when film makers cast Zac Efron in roles where he appears in various states of undress–which seems to happen so often that at this point it might be written into his contract–that they’re aiming for the Gay Male or the Female audience? Then again, if we were to look at it with […]
