Can Evrenol’s Baskin premiered at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) for some serious acclaim, though looking at the trailer–which I understand not only can’t but more than likely doesn’t necessary represent the movie–it feels particularly chaotic, and not in a good way. Evrenol’s a Turkish director, so the movie probably represents sensibilities that may not necessarily […]
The trailer for Netflix’s Marvel’s Jessica Jones has just dropped, and it’s very psychedelic and…purple. I assume that that has a lot to do with the influence of the Purple Man (David Tennant) on Jessica Jones. He’s a character that has the ability to control people’s actions (if I recall, due to pheromones or some […]
“The Visit is possibly the best M. Night Shyamalan movie since The Sixth Sense.”
Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
That any creative person would compare the result of the demons that drive them to babies is so common a sentiment that it borders on cliche. The thing is, there’s a reason that a turn of phrase ends up cloying and as well-worn as your favorite pair of jeans. And that’s because it manages to say […]
[youtube-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqHhKuCQmoY] Michael Fassbender as Macbeth? I was never a huge Shakespeare fan though I always had a special place in my heart for Macbeth (“Double, double, toil and trouble…”). So, despite the fact that there are no spaceships, monsters (at least none not of the human variety) or superheroes, this is a movie that I’d consider catching.
I have to admit that Will Smith portraying a character with an accent (which I can’t place. It sounded vaguely Jamaican or Haitian, though not quite) in Peter Landesman’s Concussion caught me off-guard (as did Albert Brooks being virtually bald). That being said, I heard during Joe Rogan’s podcast that perhaps football players should consider using leather […]
I don’t tend to catch thrillers in theaters (if it isn’t horror, science fiction or Marvel Studios I don’t tend to be too interested, truth be told) though when I saw the trailer for The Perfect Guy I was surprised at how effective the first trailer was. I appreciate a slow burn, and the portrayal […]
According to Superherohype, Mads Mikkelson (Hannibal) will have a role in Scott Derrickson’s upcoming Marvel Studios feature, Doctor Strange. Assuming that to be true, they also let slip a little more information than they may have intended, because they also mention that he’ll be playing a villain. And since Baron Mordo is taken, there’s only one […]
Christopher Landon’s Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse on the face of it looks like fun, and while I was a boy scout when I was younger, there’s something that has always felt a bit off-putting to me about people who don’t outgrow it. That being said, the movie looks like there’s some potential for hilarity among […]
