Here’s “The Evil Dead” Red Band trailer, and it is so NOT SAFE FOR WORK–unless you work in a slaughterhouse, or perhaps in a hospital trauma unit, where so much blood, gore, and self-mutilation would not be so beyond the pale. I mean, I am not one to shy away from copious amounts of the […]
Timing is always an interesting thing. On the seventeenth, I inquired about Sam Raimi rebooting Tobe Hooper’s “Poltergeist.” In reference to that film and to give an indication of just what Sam Raimi could bring I included a trailer to his first film, “The Evil Dead.” Just recently I read that the trailer for Fede […]
Here’s the latest teaser from “Iron Man 3,” and it looks different from those that came before because it seems to hint at dangers not only for Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), but Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) as well. There’s no hint of the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) though I hope that they avoid putting […]
Now this is interesting news. The original “Poltergeist,” directed by Tobe Hooper (or Steven Spielberg, depending upon how deeply you look into things) was not exactly in need of a remake, mainly because the original film, from 1982, holds up surprisingly well, in my opinion. That being said, with the whole found footage trend that’s […]
As I have mentioned before, I didn’t see Marc Webb’s Spider-man reboot, “The Amazing Spider-Man, because I had no need to see Spidey’s origin story again. Radioactive spider, bite; I get it. Let’s move on already. Shailene Woodley is going to play Mary-Jane Watson, though since I am unfamiliar with who she is, I don’t […]
I like most of the Scott Derrickson films that I have seen. His “Hellraiser: Inferno” was one of the better entries in the series, embracing the mythos while expanding it in new and interesting ways. I don’t much remember “The Exorcism Of Emily Rose,” though I don’t recall hating it, so that’s something. His only misstep was […]
Some are also calling “Skyfall” the best Bond ever. I assume that that’s more than a little bit of hyperbole because some of the 007 films that I enjoyed most were not necessarily the best in the series. For instance, of the Sean Connery Bond films, was never a huge fan of “Dr. No,” “From […]
I have to admit, this trailer kicks all sort of arse. Sure, the movie may be the cat’s balls, but this…Trailer…Rocks. I actually want to see this movie now. I feel good enough about what I have seen so far (though admittedly the Double Take Amber Ale I just consumed may be tinting my processes just […]
Anyone ever wonder why the The Lone Ranger, was called The Lone Ranger, despite the almost constant presence of Tonto, his American Indian companion? Yeah, that was always strange to me, too. I should also admit that I have never been a huge fan of the character, though I do recall watching when I was […]
Zach Snyder’s “Man Of Steel” (and it isn’t an accident that it’s called that, as opposed to ‘Superman’ because I suspect that his humanity will be emphasized more than his virtual godhood, until things need to be blowed up good! Real good!) is supposedly going to be more “realistic” than past interpretations, though the only way […]
