I like this trailer. It’s an added bonus that the lead in “Drug War” is Louis Koo, of “Accident.” I have been watching a bit of South Korean and Chinese films lately, mainly because they’re – for the most part – new to me. An added bonus is that, since they aren’t made for a […]
Why? Why? Why? Is there some vocal majority out there clamoring for a remake of “Jacob’s Ladder” that I am unaware of? It’s not like Adrian’s Lyne’s film is the best psychological drama/horror film ever made (though admittedly it not the hugest sub-genre out there) though it is competent and atmospheric (and strangely downbeat, which fit […]
The trailer for the CW reboot of “The Tomorrow People” has been live for a few days now, and while admittedly it isn’t enough to judge the final product by, the look doesn’t remind me of the original show at all. It looks a bit glossy, which happens when you actually have a budget to […]
Ashton Kutcher isn’t a great actor. Heck, I am not sure that’s he’s even a good one. That being said, looking at the trailer for “Jobs,” his movie about Steve Jobs and the creation of Apple, Inc., there are moments that he looks EXACTLY like Jobs. This doesn’t by any stretch means that Kutcher is […]
I wrote in October of last year that Sam Raimi was planning a remake – a term that’s always synonymous with*maximum suckage – of Tobe Hooper’s “Poltergeist.” That’s still happening, though Raimi is producing, not directing. That job will be handled by Gil Kenan. Prior to this gig, he helmed “Monster House” and “City Of […]
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a huge audience for Legos. They’re two theme parks dedicated to them – called Legoland – in this country; one in California, the other in Florida. Overseas, there are Legolands in Germany, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and Denmark (where they were invented). But does that mean that anyone wants to […]
There’s a new international trailer for David Twohy’s “Riddick,” and it happens to be in Springboard format, which I have forgotten how to embed into WordPress (which makes it worse than never being able to embed it at all. Trust me on this). It shows Riddick doing what he does best, which is evading a […]
Can I ask a question? Why does Hollywood ever bother trying to create dragons? If you’ve seen Matthew Robbins’ 1981’s fantasy film, “Dragonslayer” you’d realize that his creation, Vermithrax Pejorative (which is an indicator of how geeky I can be because I pulled that from memory) has to be the best looking, most dragony-looking, dragon […]
Neill Blomkamp is the Real Thing. By which I mean he’s managed to combine social commentary and action in a fashion that doesn’t alienate either audience. His first film, “District 9” while excellent, could have easily been a fluke. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time that a director sees a decline in their […]
Aaron Taylor-Johnson probably has an awesome agent. I assume that his is the case because he’s starring in the upcoming “Kick-Ass 2,” a reboot of ‘Godzilla” and now it seems that he may be cast as ‘Quicksilver’ in the upcoming sequel to Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers.” Quicksilver is the guy to the right. Hopefully he […]
