I have been re-reading H.P. Lovecraft’s “At The Mountains Of Madness,” and–as much as I hate to say it–I am somewhat glad that the powers-that-be at Universal pulled the plug (Sure, for all the wrong reasons, but whatever). Don’t take that to mean that Guillermo Del Toro couldn’t have made an engrossing and terrifying film; […]
I like this trailer because Guillermo Del Toro is credited as an executive producer, and as far as I know he isn’t one of those ‘executive producer in name only‘ types. Besides, anything with his name on it instantly gets bonus points, redeemable toward thought-provoking, kick-arse cinema (in my humble opinion). We’re introduced to Santa […]
Because what we needed was a reboot of “Total Recall,” the original a Paul Verhoeven film that, as far as I could tell, was done pretty well the first time. The new version is being directed by Len Weisman, who’s every film looks like huge set pieces with occasional character interaction thrown in.
This ‘Host’ has nothing to do with the (more than likely) far superior movie by Korean director Bong Joon-ho. Instead it comes to us courtesy of Stephenie Meyer, the writer of the ‘Twilight’ books. I am assuming that these aliens work by possessing an individual, if the trailer is any indicator.
Marvel’s Angel, is probably one of the most underrated superheroes there are (of course, I am not referring to Archangel. That guy is absolutely lethal) besides DC’s Aquaman–who’s really lame, by the way. His only ability is that of flight–which was probably obvious, considering those huge wings. Flight is a weak ability, till you consider […]
“Cosmopolis” has everything that a moviegoer could want. There’s Robert Patterson, for the ‘Twilight’ contingent, and David Cronenberg, perhaps the premiere director of the weird and bizarre. And this film definitely seems to fit that bill, seeing that it revolves around a billionaire (Patterson) who is searching for a haircut, and the twisted things that […]
Here’s the red band trailer for “Piranha 3DD,” from The Weinstein Company, which also released the Academy Award winning film, “The Artist.” And while “Piranha 3DD” will probably win few Oscars, it has assets that its more renown brethren lacks. It’s also not safe for viewing at work. That is, unless you happen to have […]
Disney is going to take a $200 million dollar write-off on “John Carter.” The worse thing is that it shouldn’t have happened, because after an initial stumble (the first half hour or so), the film was actually pretty enjoyable. I don’t know who’s responsible (other than Andrew Stanton, who’s fingerprints are to be found on […]
According to Deadline, the image to the left is the “Arrow,”(above) from the upcoming CW series. I could just be a bit off-base, but I was expecting a new interpretation of DC’s Green Arrow (below). Instead, it looks like they’re sticking to, essentially, the same costume as the character wore on “Smallville. Which makes me […]
Aint It Cool recently posted another “Prometheus” trailer, as well as an interview with Damon Lindelhof and Ridley Scott. The new trailer is less a dramatic assembly of scenes that an outline of what the film is about. Don’t worry, while it dispels some basic mysteries, it hints at more interesting, darker, things.
