I have to admit that, while I had heard of Suzanne Collins‘ Hunger Games Trilogy prior to the movie coming out, I didn’t expect it to make much of a splash. My bias stemmed less from the fact that her books are directed primarily at young adults – John Christopher’s ‘The White Mountains’ trilogy are […]
When Gerry Anderson died in 2013 I assumed that also meant that not only would there be no more series like “UFO,” “Space: 1999” or “Space Precinct” but without his leadership there wouldn’t even be an Anderson Entertainment. It seems that I am wrong because the company’s web site not only went live recently and […]
I have noticed that I have been using Michael Bay as a benchmark of sorts, which in a roundabout way is complementary toward his particular skill set. For instance, I created a phenomenon called “the Michael Bay Exception” which encapsulates his tendency to worship at the altar of spectacle, while things like plot and story […]
Universal Pictures and Hero Complex are having free screenings of “Oblivion,” Joseph Kosinski’s followup to “Tron: Legacy,” starting on the 15th of this month. If you’re in New York, Philadelphia or Burbank (among others cities) you might want to look into it. It revolves around Tom Cruise, who’s a repairman of droids on an Earth that […]
I really like this trailer. James DeMonaco, who wrote the screenplay for the excellent “Assault On Precinct 13” reboot is directing “The Purge,” which takes place in an America where crime and unemployment have fallen to unheard of lows. It’s a golden age, though nothing worth having comes without a price. That price is known […]
Though you never know;) Now this, I like. The earlier posters from Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” were OK, but they didn’t to me quite capture all the giant robot goodness that the film appears to be chock full of. So, what better place to start that with than the American and Australian Jaegers, Gipsy […]
“”The Apparition” Is Too Good To Have Been Treated So Shabbily By Its Producers” First off, ignore the trailer posted below. It’s seemingly for Todd Lincoln‘s “The Apparition,” currently spooling on iTunes. The footage is accurate, though the voiceovers misrepresent the movie (most of which aren’t actually in the film), as does the tagline for […]
Here’s the complete trailer for James Mangold‘s ‘The Wolverine,” complete with narrative continuity! Here, Logan/Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) makes his way to Japan, where it appears that he somehow loses his healing factor, which is bad thing when what looks like hundreds of black pajama-clad ninjas are trying to kill you. There’s a fight on what […]
Just when you thought that we survived “Olympus Has Fallen,” here comes the more obviously titled “White House Down.” This time instead of Gerard Butler, all we have is Channing Tatum standing between us and those that would destroy our way of life. God help the terrorists, especially considering that this is from Roland Emmerich, […]
This is interesting. I was actually looking for something “Iron Man 3”-related, when I stumbled upon this trailer for the upcoming sequel to David Twohy’s “The Chronicles Of Riddick.” I don’t know when this snuck on to the Interwebs, but it looks like the real deal and not some mashup of clips from various ‘Riddick’ […]
