I fully admit that the success of Jurassic World caught me by surprise. I didn’t necessarily think that it would fail, though if anyone had told me that it would be breaking records made by 2014’s The Avengers I would have laughed at such a ridiculous notion. That being said, what’s in its way even […]
I am genuinely psyched for movies like Ant-Man, Captain America: Civil War and Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice but what I am even more interested in is something that we won’t be seeing on the big screen, and that’s Gerry Anderson’s Firestorm. Originally sold by creators Anderson and John Needham to a Japanese company, it was […]
The story around Relativity Studios’ reboot of The Crow, which I originally wrote about here, continues albeit in a fashion that I had not anticipated. I mentioned originally that among the many issues that the remake was facing was whether or not Relativity would be able to refinance it’s debt in time. If not the studio could be […]
{youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrV-rregHIw] I was going to link to the latest trailer for The Peanuts, except that for some reason Fox isn’t allowing it. I’ve tried different sites, but the result is the same: No love. Which is a bit weird in that this is the fourth trailer from the movie, so I am not quite seeing […]
I don’t believe in literal curses, though I do believe that–for whatever reason–some productions are more troubled in others and you can’t get more ‘troubled’ than The Crow. Keep in mind that Brandon Lee was killed during production on the original film–shot at close range by a blank–and while no one has died during the remake, […]
Recently DC revealed the latest costume for Batman, via Comicbookresources. Despite not being a huge fan of either DC Comics or the character, I really like it. The current iteration of Batman is caped, and while it sticks with tradition, these days it doesn’t quite make sense. The character was originally created in the 1940’s with a design intended […]
Sun I’m on an email list from Deadline: Hollywood, so when I learned that Dominic Patton had reviewed the upcoming Netflix series, Sense8, from Larry and Lana Wachowski, I was immediatedly curious how he felt about it (especially coming off Jupiter Ascending). Wolfgang Patton really enjoyed it, which I have to admit surprised me; though what […]
I just finished watching Lluís Quilez’s Out Of The Dark, currently on Netlix, and it’s a bit middling, though hardly the worse movie I’ve seen. It revolves around a family who moves to Columbia, and are haunted by ghosts. Though not particularly effective, I found it interesting for another reason: The ghosts come about because the owner […]
Tron: Legacy trailer If you’ve been keeping up with the latest from the House of Mouse, you probably know that Tron 3 is dead, but I have a sneaking suspicion that we haven’t heard the last word on this matter. Why? Because supposedly the reason for Disney’s change of mind is the weak performance of […]
Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983) “By the pricking of my thumb, something wicked this way comes.” –Macbeth A few hours ago I was re-linking my movies in iTunes (for some reason iTunes linkages break sometime, though I have suspicions why it happens) when I noticed Jack Clayton’s movie of Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way […]
