If anyone had asked me if a movie about a twister being turned into a shark-delivery system was a good idea, I’d humor them a bit before I said: “A twister full of sharks?! That’s the dumbest idea I have ever heard of!” “Now get out of my office!” Which would have, in hindsight, been the wrong […]
This looks awesome. The Pixar-infusion to Disney Animation has apparently done wonders because this looks incredible. Now combined with some goodness from the Marvel side of the family, there’s virtually no way that Big Hero 6 can’t be a hit.
From what I can tell from the trailer Brian A. Miller‘s The Prince has nothing at all to do with Machiavelli’s book, which is a pity because I think it would be particularly neat to see a bad guy who treated it as his moral compass. That being said, the ‘Prince’ is this particular instance is […]
Alien: Isolation, if the trailer does the game any justice, is gorgeous. The original Alien, the movie that came out in 1979, directly inspired the videogame and was (and still is to many) considered to be one of the scariest movies ever made. The game play (as far as I can tell) as well as cinematics are directly […]
Recently I received a letter from Netflix telling me that the second season of Hemlock Grove was coming July 11th, tomorrow. With that in mind, I thought that I’d do a write-up on the first season. They were also character posters released, which I included below. When I first wrote about the series, I emphasized the […]
When I see that a movie is from IFC Midnight I take it as a given that it’s going to be well done. As far as I know, they don’t actually make any of the movies that bear their name, though what they do do is almost as important, which is to purchase quality horror […]
The Purge: Anarchy Is A Marked Improvement Over The Original, But There Is So Much Farther That It Could Have Gone What bothered me most about James DeMonaco‘s 2013 movie The Purge was that after introducing viewers to a United States that had brought record reductions in crime though a once-a-year catharsis known as the Purge […]
The trailer for Dark Space actually looks pretty good, especially for an independent film (made without the backing of a major studio). There’s a dash of Predator here, a hint of Outland there, and a whole lot of Pitch Black, that really works. That being said, if I could mention one thing to the producers: If you’re looking to […]
Did you see 2002’s Kurt Wimmer movie, Equilibrium? In adverts it looked like it a copy of the The Matrix (and in some reviews as well, which never quite made sense to me), which I though was a bit unfair. It wasn’t as innovative–from a special effects standpoint at least–but was pretty engaging in its own right. Looking at […]
Have you ever seen a movie that should be funny, one that seemingly has all the elements, like good comedic actors, an engaging premise and plenty of awkward situations, yet for some reason just isn’t? That’s the way I felt about the first Horrible Bosses (and The Heat, but that’s another matter) It wasn’t a terrible movie, but […]
