While growing up, while I was aware of Napoleon Solo (otherwise known as The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) and Illya Kuryakin (originally played by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum in the television series), though I didn’t watch it, being instead a huge fan of The Avengers and Department S. There’s already been a remake of The Avengers, […]
I haven’t seen any of The Fast and the Furious movies in their entirety (though I recall catching a snippet of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift when I was visiting my parents awhile ago) and had no intent of doing so. I am also surprised to learn that there have only been three, excluding the latest movie. […]
Gerry Anderson as a producer has always fascinated me. Despite being behind some of the most innovative puppet (Supermarionation)-based television series, he was never entirely satisfied with working with them, and always wanted to work with flesh and blood actors. That being said, he first time that he did so, in UFO, Journey To The Far Side […]
Speak of the Devil, and he’ll come (or something to that effect) because the new Poltergeist trailer has dropped, and it’s a whole bunch of “Meh.” There’s a workman-like sheen to things, which may owe more to Paranormal Activity than the original movie, but if the trailer has shown me anything, it’s how unnecessary a remake it is. […]
This is part of what I hate about Hollywood. With the Poltergeist reboot trailer about to drop any day now, I wonder why anyone is remaking a movie that doesn’t particularly need it. Tobe Hooper’s (or Steven Spielberg’s, depending upon whom you ask) haunted house thriller is not only one of the better movies it its type, […]
When Jeph Loeb, head of Marvel Television, said that Marvel’s Daredevil would be a more street level interpretation of the character, he wasn’t kidding. The trailer looks gritty and nothing at all like Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. or Marvel’s Agent Carter. I think that it’s neat that so far every Marvel series each has its […]
I was a HUGE Heroes fan. For awhile I made it my business to catch every episode, though because of the writer’s strike and some ill-conceived creative decisions (why destroy The Company? That’s like Star Wars getting rid of the Empire. Sure you could do it, but would you really want to?) Combined with a plot that […]
And “everything we’ve got” includes trained Veloceraptors, I assume? I don’t claim to speak for anyone else, but I have a huge issue with Jurassic World–sight unseen. That issue is that from what I have read, the entire premise revolves around the engineering of a new dinosaur, Indominous Rex, an animal that–it goes without saying–will […]
Seriously, why does Marvel Studios even bother with trailers, especially for a property like The Avengers? They already have my money, and I am sure the same applies for millions of other people. Just don’t give away any more of the movie (which the new trailers don’t seem to be doing) because I am still smarting over […]
There’s been rumors that Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four reboot is a massive train wreck, though if that happens to be the case, there’s no trace of it in the first official teaser (as if there would be even if that happens to be true). Though there are problems–if the trailer is any indicator–namely it feels very derivative. […]
