Marvel’s Iron Fist – Teaser Trailer

Gotta admit, I like the logo though it’s especially good to see because for awhile there were members of the online community that were saying that a series based on Iron Fist wasn’t going to happen. That being said, Finn Jones? That’s not even that I think Jones is a bad actor–I’ve heard that he’s […]

Marvel’s The Defenders – Teaser Trailer

For fans of Marvel Television and their work with Netflix, ComicCon 2016 is as close to nirvana as you’re likely to get because that’s where they premiered the teaser trailer for The Defenders, a street-level super team in the vein of the Avengers.  They will consist of Daredevil (which has been renewed for a third […]

Voltron: Legendary Defender – Trailer

Typically, with any sort of entertainment–be it a movie, book, television or whatever–a certain amount of ‘buy-in’ on the part of the viewer is not only necessary, but mandatory. By which I mean the person consuming the media has to suspend their disbelief–there are no orcs, zombies, dragons or psychotic AI’s–and invest in what they’re […]

4th Man Out – Review

I liked Andrew Nackman’s 4th Man out a lot because it’s less a dramedy about a guy, Adam (Evan Todd) who realizes that’s he’s gay and trying his best to deal with it–though that’s an important aspect–than the community of friends and relatives that surround him, and their reaction to his announcement. What makes this […]

Can The Punisher Make It On Netflix?

If you haven’t heard, Netflix last week announced that a spinoff from Marvel’s Daredevil, featuring The Punisher, starring Jon Bernthal, is going straight to series. This is interesting, especially considering the denials from Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb early on.   I enjoyed Frank Castle but I am left with a few questions.

Voltron: Legendary Defender – Trailer

Netflix is bringing back Voltron, though it appears that he might have got a demotion from being the ‘Defender of the Universe’ to a ‘Legendary Defender.’ I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the robot, though for some reason when growing up I thought that it was selfish that only one of the […]

Postmortem: Avalanche Sharks (2013)

If I were to tell you that Keith Shaw’s Avalanche Sharks–despite the poster proclaiming ‘Snow Sharks’–wasn’t a very good movie, you’d probably say something to the effect of ‘Duh, it’s about sharks that ‘swim’ though snow, devouring skiers.  What about that scenario screams Academy Award to you?’ And I get that, though the movie doesn’t […]

Marvel’s Luke Cage – Trailer #1

To be honest, I’m not entirely sure why the Marvel series being produced for Netflix are so successful.  After all, they’re working with characters that I wouldn’t exactly call ‘first-stringers.’ Though that’s not by any means to imply that they aren’t beloved to many people, only that they’re plenty of more popular superheroes that have […]
