I have to admit that when I heard of the central idea behind Gary Shore‘s Dracula Untold–essentially the story of Vlad Tepes before he became Dracula–the first thing that crossed my mind was: “Who cares? People don’t watch Dracula movies for what he was before he became a vampire!” Then again, Vlad Tepes isn’t just anyone. What we know […]
Community Season 1 Trailer Though that’s not to imply that I didn’t try. When there’s so much buzz around a show you think that if you don’t at least check it out, you’re be missing something. Which is a normal feeling. I honestly think that a lot of the reason behind the success of HBO’s Game Of Thrones and AMC’s […]
“Part 1?” I think that that refers to the fact that the movie is being broken into a ‘Part 1’ and ‘Part 2.’ What I like about is that there’s an undeniable fascist (a word used way too often, mostly by people with either no idea what it means, or with the intent do bring about […]
This latest trailer for Guardians Of The Galaxy has a lot of stuff from prior trailers, as well as a few new scenes too.
What is it that calls actors to war (in movies that is, because I am reasonably sure few in the cast of David Ayer‘s Fury served in any conflict)? John Wayne, who’s name was actually Marion, starred in quite a few war films, during World War II no less. He didn’t serve in the military, though […]
While watching the International Trailer for Michaël R. Roskam‘s The Drop, starring Tom Hardy, James Gandolfini and Noomi Rapace, I noticed three things: The first was that it looks appropriately gritty, but a bit formulaic. The second was that, while you hear Hardy in a short voiceover at the beginning of the trailer, you don’t for the rest. I […]
The picture on the left is from the Catacombs of Paris, which I took myself. If you haven’t seen them, they’re worth checking out. They’re also a bit on the morbid side, but as far as I am concerned were the primary motivator for me visiting Paris in the first place. I was so impressed that when […]
I am not terribly familiar with the Norse concept of Ragnarök, though I do know that it revolves around the end of the world and all sorts of unpleasantness (which according to Wikipedia doesn’t typically include really large lizard-like monsters). I should mention that I found this trailer while I was searching for the trailer […]
Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes – Final Trailer I am just not buying it. Sure, there was that genetically-engineered virus in Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes which reduced the human population significantly enough that the apes could gain a foothold, as well as increasing their intelligence to such a degree that it […]
Paddington is based upon the children’s storybook character Paddington Bear, who I imagine is bigger in Europe, like The Adventures of Tintin, which formed the basis of a 2011 film directed by Steven Spielberg that was produced by Peter Jackson and written by Edgar Wright, Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat. I also expected to be creeped […]
