Since I mentioned Jordan Peele yesterday in my post on his upcoming Twilight Zone reboot I’ve been watching a few (Keegan-Michael) Key and Peele videos from their Comedy Central Show. On the whole they’re pretty funny, though I found the clip below a little hard to watch (which is really odd when you take into […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter Paramount has stopped development on a sequel to 1993’s zombie thriller World War Z. The movie has been in various states of development for years, with the most recent version being shepherded by David Fincher (The Game, Fight Club) Apparently the issue is related to budget–ironically enough, the same problem […]
When I heard that there was talk to reboot the Child’s Play movies I was a bit disappointed because, under the leadership of original writer Don Mancini, it’s been a really interesting series of movies. I think the original is pretty good, though the sequels don’t quite hit the target. That being said–particularly in the […]
I honestly don’t think there’s a such thing as an ‘unfilmable’ novel–not any more, at any rate–especially with so many ways to present a work. You could choose network television–which brings certain advantages–or maybe HBO or Starz, or streaming options like Amazon or Netflix. You have to match the material to the venue. This is […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony’s movie division posted a $107 million profit, which is particularly impressive considering only two years earlier they posted a $719 million LOSS. Now, if you’re Sony you’re probably feeling pretty good about things though if you’re a person who happens to be watching a Sony movie…let’s just say your […]
That’s Zach Snyder if you’re nasty. The former architect of Warner Bros’ DCEU and director of movies like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice and (arguably) Justice League is according to The Hollywood Reporter directing the upcoming Army of the Dead for Netflix. Snyder directed 2004’s reboot of Dawn Of The Dead […]
I love stop-motion animation. I was almost weaned on Ray Harryhausen, so it means something to me. There’s something surreal about it. It never quite looks like part of the scene–which is part of it’s charm–but it was always so obviously craft-intensive and fascinating to watch that even when it wasn’t done that well (LazerBlast) […]
Yesterday I wrote an article exclaiming that ’Justice League is on Netflix!‘ And that’s true. Though what’s also true is that you wouldn’t know it if you’re watching in the United States because it isn’t currently available on the steaming network here (my mobile devices operate via VPN which acts as if I were anywhere […]
2017’s Justice League is on Netflix and with Aquaman rising above expectations to dominate the domestic box office maybe it’s time for another look at the movie that introduced him to the world (though technically that’s 2016’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, which I have included a clip from below). A better approach would–if […]
And I know bumblebees don’t sting, but work with me. According to Superherohype Paramount’s Bumblebee has overtaken Warner Bros. Aquaman in international markets. For reasons I’m not entirely sure Aquaman has been performing particularly well, outgrossing Justice League and Wonder Woman cumulatively. Which I find vexing. Part of the issue is that I’ve become accustomed […]
