Here’s the trailer for Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men In Black 3. It looks interesting, and while I have to admit that Josh Brolin makes a great Tommy Lee Jones, it’s become apparent–if it weren’t already–that the star of this film is Will Smith. Apropos of nothing, I find it interesting that, according to IMDB, Sonnenfeld was […]
Jeffrey Combs, who played the original Herbert West in Stewart Gordon’s “Re-Animator,” is for one night only going to play in the play based upon the aforementioned film. In other words, Combs, is going to play, in a play, the role that he originated from a movie that came out twenty-six years ago. How cool […]
Before Bungie became part of Microsoft, they produced games like 1994’s Marathon. It revolves around a spaceship, the Marathon, that’s invaded by aliens. You’re part of the crew, tasked with the job of defending the ship so that the AI’s (artificial intelligences) that control it can marshal the ship’s defenses. I assumed that the game […]
Help me understand something: On one hand you have Paul Verhoeven, the director of “Robocop,” “Hollow Man,” “Total Recall,” “Starship Troopers,” and others. Each of those films, filled to the brim with gory, sexy, subversive goodness that not too many current films even attempt to approach, never mind equal. So, considering all the really bad […]
According to the folks and Spiderman.ru and Collider.com, the image to your left is The Lizard, from the upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man.” I tend to believe that it’s accurate because of this. I am not too sure how I feel about it, mainly because he looks too ‘human,’ though it’s hard to tell his size […]
In the name of full disclosure, I am not a huge fan of DC Comics, and am irritated that one of their characters that I do happen to like, Green Lantern, was in such a mediocre movie. Booster Gold, according to the Hollywood Reporter by way of Comic Book Resources, is coming to SyFy. Why […]
Before I begin, let me establish a few things: The ‘Frank’ in question is Frank Darabont, someone who I not only have never met, but whom has no idea that I exist (nor should he, unless he has an unquenchable desire to learn about IT from the perspective of someone who works in a Washington, […]
Last Saturday I was part of the filming of “The Dark Knight Rises,” code named “Magnus Rex,” in New York. I played one of 600 Gotham City policemen who had just escaped from being trapped in Gotham’s subway system by Bane. No pictures were allowed, though I recall enough of the 13 hours I worked […]
When I heard that Uwe Boll is considered by many to be one of the worse directors ever (though he deserves credit for an ability to somehow secure funding, seemingly despite himself) I didn’t believe because, while hyperbole isn’t exactly unknown among bloggers, I wanted to give him a chance. Then I saw “Alone In […]
The first video is for Kate Bush’s “Experiment IV.” The high-concept song revolves around the idea of a military experiment that creates a sound that–literally–possesses the power to kill. As an aside, the video has a scene that appears to be a homage to the scene from “Raiders Of The Lost Ark,” when the ark […]
