According to Robert Downey, Jr. Iron Man 4 is happening and truth be told I am a little torn by the decision. It’s a good thing because Downey, for millions of people (including this writer) embodies Tony Stark. It’s not such a good thing because Marvel has to know that they’re just delaying the inevitable. Originally […]
I don’t traditionally like to link to full movies but Prelude To Axanar is something special, and this is coming from someone who isn’t a huge fan of the Star Trek universe (as far as the televised series’ are concerned, I prefer Star Trek: Deep Space Nine most because Capt. Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) wasn’t above engaging […]
I know that I have written on the reboot of the The Town That Dreaded Sundown before, but since the original has just turned up on Netflix, I though I’d throw something together. If you’re into horror movies, it’s worth checking out because it’s a pretty good movie, though another reason is that if you intend […]
Every since the television series based on Irwin Allen‘s Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea I’ve had a love affair with submarines in movies, though the more realistic they appear, the less I am interested. For instance, the cramped and claustrophobic submarines–which is more in line with actual submersibles–from movies like The Hunt for Red October or […]
If you’re a big fan of movies, particularly horror and sci-fi, you’ve probably taken a position on whether or not movies should use CGI (computer-generated imagery) or practical effects (which include prosthetics, animatronics, models and miniatures). Personally, I am a HUGE fans of practical effects. That being said, I understand that there are things that you […]
Considering how ISIS (the International Secret Intelligence Service)–not the terrorist organization currently in vogue–seemingly did everything they could undermine their own efforts, they hardly needed help from outside. Or inside, for that matter. That being said, I feel reasonably certain that there there was someone within ISIS doing just that. Perhaps they were too caught up in their […]
Bob Woodruff, Jr. and Alec Gillis of studioADI, the practical special effects house behind a lot of your favorite movies, including the Predator and Alien films, as well as the upcoming Kickstarter-funded practical horror film, Harbinger Down) are two men that clearly enjoy their work. You can see the devotion and craftsmanship that their effects shop brings to […]
The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Underworld is being rebooted. It’s been eight years since first entry in the trilogy (and two since the last film, Underworld Awakening). And while I don’t necessarily think that eight years is a long time between reboots, at least it’s more than between the transition from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 to Marc […]
I have written on women superheroes in movies in the past, and thought that it was a topic worth revisiting, especially since some have decided that Marvel Studios somehow has a duty to make a feature with a female lead. Which is nonsense, but don’t get me wrong, inclusiveness is a great thing. All of us […]
I am not a huge video game player, and in fact I tend to enjoy watching other people playing more than doing so myself. I buy games every once in awhile, particularly if I like the concept behind them, play for a few minutes, then lose interest. Most of it has to do with my […]
