I have been waiting for Alfonso Cuarón‘s “Gravity” for awhile, and it’s getting closer. In my mind Cuarón is in the same class as Guillermo Del Toro, which is another way of saying that if either of them comes out with a film, go see it. Besides, his last film, “Children Of Men” was not […]
Gavin Hood gets a bad rap. The South African director made “Totsi” in 2005, which he won an Academy Award for. His biggest film – in terms of budget – was “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” which didn’t get any Oscars. Mainly because it was pretty bad. Though can you blame him for that? He didn’t write […]
This trailer has been around for awhile, though I am just getting around to posting it. The reason why is that it seems terribly “Meh,” which shouldn’t be confused with ‘bad’ or uninteresting. It hits all the right notes, but doesn’t do anything that we haven’t seen many times before. I guess what I am […]
Here’s the latest trailer – thanks Deadline – that came from the same place as the latest “Pacific Rim” trailer. Which is CinemaCon, not Comic-con, by the way. In it Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is doing all sorts of stuff, much of it involving either his claws, or a threatening grimace. We finally get some shots […]
I assume that this footage for Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” is from the last Comic-con. It shows the most detail of the robots yet, as well as a bit of character development. And I can’t see why Michael Bay would ever be worried by ‘Rim,’ after all, if the trailers are to be believed, […]
Sometimes, you have to be cruel to be kind.
Guillermo Del Toro rocks. Why, you ask? Sure, it has more than a little to do with him being the director of “Hellboy,” “Hellboy 2,” “Blade 2,” The Devil’s Backbone,” Pan’s Labyrinth, among others. It also has to do with tenaciousness, and following your dreams, no matter how bleak things may seem (it also never […]
I like Louis Leterrier as a director. His reboot of “The Incredible Hulk” captured the essence of the character without being as angsty as Ang Lee’s somewhat torutured version. He also seems to approach his projects with genuine passion for the subject matter. Then again, he also directed the reboot of “Clash Of The Titans,” […]
“R.I.P.D,” or ‘Rest In Peace Department’ stars Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges, though why does it feel as if this film is sneaking in under the radar? The trailer plays like “Men In Black,” except with – I assume – a much, much smaller budget and various varieties of the undead, instead of aliens. It’s […]
I don’t want to like this movie. I am a Marvel fanboy and think that Superman is rather lame. Even lamer is David Goyer, who I will forever remember as the many who killed ‘Blade,” and was too arrogant to say “I’m sorry. I f%cked up.” Christopher Nolan produced the movie, whom I also don’t […]
