What do you get when you take quite possibly the strangest take on World War II ever, combined with dinosaurs, dinosaur Nazi-men, Hitler, and model work that would make old school “Doctor Who” look like “Star Wars? You get “Danger 5,” an Australian export currently spooling on Hulu that refreshingly doesn’t even attempt to explain […]
A bigger man would just be happy that Disney has put a sequel to 2010’s “Tron: Legacy” on a fast track, and leave it at that. Luckily for me, I have never been that big a man because for years on various message boards I have said that there would be a sequel, if only […]
Let’s see…for fans of genre there isn’t all that much to pick from. Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit,” came out today, but it’s getting somewhat mediocre reviews. That being said, I am most curious about the version that’s filmed at the faster frame rate of 48fps (frames per second), despite reading that it has caused some […]
Here’s the movie poster for Joseph Kosinski’s upcoming “Oblivion.” I like the whole post-apocalyptic vibe, though what I assume to be a spacecraft in the lower right side of the poster looks way too over-designed. Then again, that could be because I am accustomed to space craft that look like he USS Cygnus from Disney’s […]
I have been saying for the longest time that the sequel to Joseph Kosinski’s 2010 film “Tron: Legacy” was going to happen, and it appears that we are closer than ever. According to Superherohype, a new writer is on the project, and Disney wants to move forward sooner rather than later. Choosing a new writer isn’t […]
Why does this movie not–so far, at any rate–move me? Maybe it was the first teaser trailer, which reminds me of a fabric softener commercial. Now we have a poster, courtesy of Superherohype, and I am even less interested. It has Superman in cuffs, being led who knows where, when you know full well that […]
When I read that Guillmero Del Toro was abandoning his passion project, a movie based upon H.P. Lovecraft’s “At The Mountains Of Madness” partially because Universal decided that a movie like “Battleship” would be a better investment (that’s not quite fair. I have no idea if Universal financing “Battleship” had anything to do with them […]
If you have not seen “American Horror Story,” or “The Sentinel” but want to with an open mind–or just hate spoilers–read no further. I have been watching the first season of Ryan Murphy’s and Brad Falchuk’s “American Horror Story” recently, and while I have been enjoying it–despite its tendency to be very emotionally overwrought–I have come to notice […]
I suspect I know the answer to the question above even before I wrote it, but part of me refuses to believe that a movie based upon Gerry Anderson’s “UFO” is probably not going to happen. Sure, there’s been no news for almost a year now–the site has been live for a bit over two–but […]
As anyone reading this blog on anything approaching a regular basis has probably noticed, I am a fan of Kickstarter. For those coming late to the party, Kickstarter is a way for creative types to get financing for their projects. Kickstarter gives you the chance to support projects you genuinely interested in seeing, reading, or […]
