Aquaman is so doing swimmingly, in China which is important since it has yet to be released domestically. With a budget somewhere around $160 million it’s performing particularly well. Now I fully admit to finding this somewhat problematic–after all Aquaman is essentially ‘Course Correction: The Movie’–I shouldn’t begrudge DC Films what is likely their second […]
For me the sign of really transcendent fiction–be it a movie, novel or whatever–is when it can not only weather different interpretations, but thrive as a result of them. Which is exactly how I feel about Netflix’s The Haunting Of Hill House. I have already done a review which covered how impressed I was by […]
I don’t know how someone smuggled a camera into 10 Downing Street, but this is bloody brilliant no matter what you think about Brexit.
When Raleigh Beckett said in 2013’s Pacific Rim that ‘…in order to fight monsters we had to create monsters of our own,’ he wasn’t talking about the current streaming environment but he might as well have been because when Disney launches Disney+–their competing, terribly-named streaming service–they intend to pull all their content from Netflix. Which […]
The first movie I saw from Johannes Roberts was the sci-fi/horror movie Storage 24, which I enjoyed. It had elements of horror and comedy and for the most part really worked though what I liked most was the alien, which was entirely practical and acted by a man on stilts of some sort. It was […]
See what I did there? With the trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home premiering-if the scuttlebut on the Interwebs is at all accurate–sometime this week it’s worth a look at one of Spider-man’s greatest enemies. Mysterio! To be fair that’s just my feeling about the character because his awesomeness will vary based upon the artist […]
You thought that with the cancellation of Daredevil on Netflix that that story was over, didn’t you? At least I did, till I learned that–according to Frosty Weintraub at Collider–has heard that the show was canceled not because of Netflix, but Marvel Television! If you take into account that supposedly the ratings of Netflix were […]
Take this with a shaker of salt, but according to Josh Wilding at Comicbookmovie, part of the reason Netflix has cancelled Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil has less to do with ratings than it does with the fact that Netflix wanted to decrease the length of a season. And while that doesn’t quite seem […]
And speaking of content, the title of this article–while to the point–is blander than it perhaps deserves. And speaking of articles Forbes has just published one claiming to know why Netflix has cancelled it’s Marvel shows (out of five only two, Jessica Jones and The Punisher, remain). And to be honest I don’t expect either […]
Apparently Marvel is promising more Daredevil,,,and it sounds like bs. Though I’m getting the feeling that Netflix canceling two other Marvel series (Iron Fist and Luke Cage) in as many months has less to do ratings than Disney wanting exclusivity for all their characters. And as I wrote yesterday, Daredevil was the flagship series of […]
