I have no intention of seeing Fifty Shades of Gray, mainly because it’s not my kind of movie. Besides, if I were going to watch S&M I’d rather not watch the Lifetime version of it. Though what I find interesting is how well received the film has been, and that director Sam Taylor-Johnson is returning to […]
Yeah, I didn’t believe it either, till began to think of Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies, starting with The Dark Knight Rises backward, and John M. Chu’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which I am currently watching on Netflix. As much as I hate to admit it, Chu captures action much better than Nolan, which almost feel like sacrilege to […]
I fully admit that I am posting this primary because I can’t get that creepy-ass xylophone music that accompanies the second trailer out out of my head. I also read that The Avengers: Age Of Ultron is going to released in India before it is domestically, which is really awesome if you happen to live there, […]
A few hours ago I wrote a piece for MoviePilot about Spider-Man’s return to the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), and overall I am pretty happy about the way things have turned out. Technically speaking, it’s not quite Spider-Man returning to where he belongs, but under the circumstances it’s probably as good as it’s going to get. That being […]
Gerry Anderson as a producer has always fascinated me. Despite being behind some of the most innovative puppet (Supermarionation)-based television series, he was never entirely satisfied with working with them, and always wanted to work with flesh and blood actors. That being said, he first time that he did so, in UFO, Journey To The Far Side […]
This is part of what I hate about Hollywood. With the Poltergeist reboot trailer about to drop any day now, I wonder why anyone is remaking a movie that doesn’t particularly need it. Tobe Hooper’s (or Steven Spielberg’s, depending upon whom you ask) haunted house thriller is not only one of the better movies it its type, […]
James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy was without a doubt one of the best movies of 2014. Marvel Studios’ motley group of space heroes was certainly a surprise, though like any other movie there were things that could have been improved. For me, the first would have been some sort of explanation about how StarLord’s mask […]
I haven’t seen Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper, and I hold no animus toward the director (though I don’t particularly like what little I know about his politics). That being said, why anyone would use an artificial baby when it was probably as easy–if not easier–to use a real one is literally beyond comprehension. As anyone who’s read this […]
How limited, you might ask? I have no idea, though according to The Daily Dead the free period began on the 16th, two days ago, so if you don’t already have in your collection, I’d take advantage of it before someone comes to their senses. Besides, the last “horror” film I watched was Children Of […]
Maybe it’s just me, but I am just not seeing the logic. Computer graphics have enabled filmmakers to create the seemingly impossible, and while I think that I will always prefer practical effects, I do understand that the leaps that CGI have reached are pretty impressive and such effects can’t often cannot be done any other way. […]
