And Because No One Asked, Here’s More Fantastic Four Reviews…
It’s your money, but there’s probably better ways of spending it than seeing Fantastic Four.

Fantastic Four Reviews Have Begun Trickling In…
Fantastic Four reviews have begun trickling in, and if they’re any indicator, the movie is in trouble. Todd McCarthy at The Hollywood Reporter says that Fantastic Four “offers glimmers of good things to come in its final moments, but only after the audience has slogged through yet another dispiriting origin story and yet another Earth-rescuing […]
A Reason I Don’t Take Hollywood’s Complains About Piracy Too Seriously
Every once in awhile I write about how lazy Hollywood seems as far as movie piracy goes, and this seems to prove it. I was looking for a trailer for the upcoming Western horror movie, Bone Tomahawk, on YouTube when I found a link to ‘Watch HD Full Movie.‘ Now keep in mind I wasn’t […]
Can We Stop Fetishizing Black And White Movies?
I will admit that some movies look better in black and white than color. It’s often striking how the contrast between light and dark can create a sense of tension, of drama. I was going to watch A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night when I noticed that it was shot in black and white, and I almost […]
Tom Cruise: Going Boldly
You know what? I honestly think that Tom Cruise is a bit of a nut, and the feeling of well-being he often attributes to his faith are more than likely the insulating effects of money and influence. That been said, you have to give the guy credit because most any other actor–with the possible exception of […]
Why You Should Be Watching “United States Of Tara” On Netflix
Part of what makes Netflix (and services like Hulu) so awesome is that whenever you see a series, no matter when it was actually released, it’s new to you. Having recently watched Keir Gilchrist in Dark Summer I was impressed enough with his performance to seek out more of his work, so when I learned that […]
My Last Ant-Man Trailer
I have officially reached the point of trailer saturation–when a trailer starts to reveal more information than I am comfortable knowing, as far as Ant-Man is concerned, at any rate. Like when Hulk caught Iron Man during the first Avengers–which was featured prominently in the trailer–I honestly don’t want any more surprises, no matter how small […]
And The Verdict Is…Ant-Man Is A Hit!
The reviews have started coming, and so far they’re looking pretty good. IGN and Comicbookmovie are very positive (in some instances gushingly so. The latter calls Ant-Man “Easily one of the top Marvel movies to date.”). Though things aren’t all rosy, because Alsono Duralde, from The Wrap says, “Ant-Man serves up jokes that don’t land and thrills that […]
Are Facebook and YouTube Part Of The Piracy Problem?
The rules, as far as pirating content on either Facebook or YouTube goes, I find very odd and very inconsistent. For instance, five or six months ago, I posted a video that I made from a trip to the National Air and Space Museum. I filmed some of the exhibits and set them to music–Cy […]
Marvel Studios One-Ups DC Entertainment (Again) With Upcoming Infinity War
I admit, after learning that Marvel Studios isn’t coming to Comic-Con this year, that I was a mite concerned (though Marvel Television and Cartoons are attending) because that meant that DC Entertainment would dominate the convention with news and clips from Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (still hate that title) and Suicide Squad. Though based […]
