I am really curious about Jon Watts’ Cop Car, mainly because on the strength of it Watts was chosen to direct Sony/Marvel Studios’s upcoming Spider-Man reboot. Do I want to see it more than I do Sinister 2? Not necessarily, but I have to admit that I am curious.
I don’t know about this. Notice the title. It’s not “Frankenstein,” but “Victor Frankenstein,” the point being that they seem to be moving away somewhat from Frankenstein’s Monster, to the man that assembled Frankenstein’s Monster. That’s an important difference, and one I am not sure I like. Then again, I’ve always been more of a werewolf/Wolfman sort […]
“One of these fellows is not who he says he is.” says John ‘The Hangman’ Ruth (Kurt Russell), which is sort of ironic coming from Russell, seeing that he he also starred in John Carpenter’s The Thing. The Hateful Eight is the latest from Quentin Tarantino, who’s last movie was Django Unchained, in some ways a […]
For awhile France was the place to go for innovative horror (and where directors like Alexandre Aja and Xavier Gens hail), now it seems that there’s been a shift to Australia. Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead is currently on Netflix, and it’s pretty clever–in terms of where it takes zombie horror, not so much in terms of visuals. And […]
Let’s be honest…the trailer for The Vatican Tapes doesn’t look that great–and you’ll notice that it’s supposedly coming in July–and while I could have missed it last month, I don’t think so. I get the feeling one reason it exists is to ride on the coattails of Michael Peña’s success with Ant-Man, though what interests me even […]
It’s your money, but there’s probably better ways of spending it than seeing Fantastic Four.
Because that’s how Screenphiles rolls;)
Fantastic Four reviews have begun trickling in, and if they’re any indicator, the movie is in trouble. Todd McCarthy at The Hollywood Reporter says that Fantastic Four “offers glimmers of good things to come in its final moments, but only after the audience has slogged through yet another dispiriting origin story and yet another Earth-rescuing […]
The first Zoolander was released over 14 years ago, and while I recall it being intermittently funny, I am not quite sure that it warranted a sequel (despite being successful, box office-wise). Which makes me wonder why it’s taken over 14 years for Ben Stiller to come up with one. That being said, there were […]
The Maze Runner honestly mystified me. It was pretty popular, and hugely profitable (earning over $340 million on a $34 million budget) yet was stuck with a seriously nonsensical plot that was way more complex–and not in a good way–than it needed to be. The cast was pretty game, and clearly brought into the entire […]
