Snowpiercer, the latest film by Bong Joon-ho, is soon to be released domestically, after premiering to enthusiastic crowds in South Korea and opening bigger than any other film in that country’s history. Now, my question is: Wouldn’t you want to see this film as the director intended, as opposed to it being cut especially for […]
Here’s the cover to the upcoming DVD for Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim,” coming out October 10. The robot versus monsters epic has earned just over $400 million dollars worldwide, while speculation of a sequel continues. Thanks to Superherohype.
That was quick. Thanks to Rafael Dominguez Estrada, who found this on Youtube, despite me having looked for it earlier. The trailer in and of itself looks OK, but the major league actors (Samuel Jackson and Gary Oldman) that look to be playing somewhat “minor” roles reminds me of Christopher Nolan’s casting of Michael Caine […]
I would post the latest trailer for José Padilha’s “RoboCop,” reboot, but it’s in Yahooese, which means that WordPress doesn’t play well with it. I’ll post it here as soon as it’s available via Youtube. The trailer itself is OK, and looks different enough from the original that at least it appears that they’re only […]
There are some good moments in the trailer for Nicholas Stoller’s “Neighbors,” (particularly the airbag incident) but I don’t know…it somehow feels so calculated, as if some studio executive put what they think today’s young people like into a computer, and among various other things out came the names: Seth Rogen, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Zac […]
According to Fusible.com, the title of the upcoming Transformers film will be some variation of “Transformers: Last Stand,” “Transformers: Future Cast,” or “Transformers: Apocalpypse.” They base their information upon domain registrations, which has proven accurate in reference to the last film, “Transformers: Dark Of The Moon.” That being said, no matter how interesting the title […]
I think that I might see “Carrie.” Not because I expect that it has anything to offer that’s any better or different than Brian DePalma’s 1976 film – I don’t – but because I want to see if it has any reason for being other than the most cynical of motivations. I could be wasting […]
I don’t know much about “Divergent,” though I think that it’s based upon a series of young adult novels (what isn’t these days). I wouldn’t condemn it solely based upon that fact, after all, “The Hunger Games” novels seem to be working out alright as movies. On the other hand, there are the ‘Twilight’ films…
I was walking home yesterday via my typical route. Passing under an overpass my building is to the left, behind a chain-link fence. To the right is a sparsely wooded median, and a few feet from that, elevated on giant concrete stilts, is the highway that I just passed under. Interstate 95, I think. As […]
Interesting. I wasn’t even aware that there was a sequel planned for 2011’s “Frightnight” – itself a remake of Todd Holland’s 1985 far superior film – mainly because it met with a lukewarm box office response (Which was deserved. It wasn’t terrible, and there were some talented people involved. It’s greatest problem was simply that […]
