Some people are critical of Marvel using lesser known directors for the superhero properties–the main one being that they’re cheaper than better known talent. This relates directly to rumors that they’re considering Rick Famuyiwa and Ava DuVernay, for upcoming Marvel projects. And while their relative inexpensiveness is undeniably a factor, I don’t think it’s nearly as important as […]
David Ayer, director of the upcoming Suicide Squad, has released a photos of the entire cast via Twitter yesterday. And it looks as if it’s following Man of Steel’s lead, by which I mean it’s going to take itself way too seriously. As a director, Ayer is talented (I haven’t seen a lot of his work, […]
Having just seen Avengers: Age of Ultron–review coming soon–can we just accept one thing: Namely that there is no way on Earth that Batman can take Captain America? Unlike what some people may believe… And while not having seen Zach Snyder’s interpretation of the iconic superhero, there’s virtually no way that he’s in Captain America’s league. […]
You can say a lot of things about how DC Entertainment is creating movies, though one thing you can’t say is that they’re playing it safe. Superman killing Zod, the virtual destruction of Metropolis, they’re definitely looking to make themselves a real alternative to Marvel Studios. ScreenRant recently posted the photo to the left, of Jared […]
It’s kind of incredible to believe, but Marvel’s Avengers: The Age of Ultron is well on the way to breaking even! This is because, while it won’t open domestically till May 1 (though there were showings for critics), its already premiered overseas in 11 foreign markets, where its estimated to earn over $160 million over the coming […]
Based on a deal between Valiant Entertainment and DMG Entertainment, characters like Bloodshot, Harbinger and Archer & Armstrong will be coming to your local cinema, though there’s an important question which I don’t see being asked, which is if there’s an audience for them. Currently, there’s a Big Two as far as movies based on comic books go, […]
Since it was out there already, Warner Bros has released the Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice Trailer. It wasn’t done as classily or as coolly as Marvel handled the unintended release of the first The Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, though I guess in the end is all that matters is that they did the inevitable. […]
“I’m glad you asked that because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan.” Brilliant writing. It plays on the cliche of movie villains always monologuing, when they should be instead either killing/kicking the ass of whomever they happen to be fighting. James Bond villains are notorious for this (particularly pre-Daniel Craig). […]
I have learned reading various blogs that most people love Netflix’s interpretation of Daredevil, though they aren’t too crazy about the fact that his suit isn’t closer to the one that appears in the comics. And that’s perfectly valid, though think about it for a moment: If the Netflix series was aiming for anything, it was realism. Sure, a heightened realism, […]
When I saw the Daredevil hallway fight scene–from the Netflix series not the 2003 movie–I was amazed at how fluid the action was, though once I got over my shock, I realized that I have seen it, in a sense, before. Here’s the fight scene from Oldboy, which also takes place in a corridor. […]
