Join Brian as he discusses science fiction, comic book, and horror films.
Edited 9/8 1223 I happily posted a month or so ago that there was going to be a feature film based upon Gerry Anderson’s “UFO,” though when I heard no news about the project for a few months afterward, I assumed the worse. There was nothing from the studios outlining the project; nothing from the […]
For anyone interested in footage from The Avengers–and who isn’t?–here’s some really sharp (as in focus) pictures of Jeremy Renner, as Hawkeye, and Scarlet Johansson as Black Widow, courtesy of ScreenRant. According to the article, Hawkeye’s costume appears to be based upon the Ultimates version, and I think that it looks pretty functional, which is […]
Does the premise of Shawn Levy‘s “Real Steel,” promoter has junky robot that has to overcome the odds against more advanced, more dangerous opponents, strike anyone else as silly (which is saying something based upon some of the films out there)? And if that were not enough of a hurdle to overcome, it also sounds […]
Here’s the teaser trailer for Gary Ross’s “The Hunger Games,” based upon the young adult series of novels by Suzanne Collins. I am aware of them (I dig their minimalist covers) but haven’t been seriously into ‘young adult’ fiction since John Christopher’s “The White Mountains.” I hope Lionsgate has better luck with this than “Conan, […]
The image to the left is supposedly of Nessie, which for me is similar to Disney’s 2010 hit “Tron: Legacy” in that I can feel it’s out there, though at the moment no one has seen any hints of it in the wild (yet). So what, there was no mention of the film on Disney’s […]
It appears that Daniel Radcliff cannot get enough of things that go bump in the night. Here’s the trailer for his latest, the “Woman In Black.”
According to Cinema Blend, Stan Lee Media, Inc. (SLMI) a company no longer affiliated with Stan Lee, is suing the makers of Lionsgate’s “Conan, The Barbarian for the use of the character of Conan, which they supposedly own the rights to.” I have one problem with this: ‘Conan’ isn’t making any money. It cost somewhere in […]
When I heard that Universal was abandoning a film version of Hasbro’s ‘Ouija’ board game, I was glad because, while I have nothing against using a board game to inspire a movie, I definitely have a problem with a board game being the primary basis for a movie. This applies to Transformers as well, though […]
For those of you, like me, that happen to think that Guillermo del Toro is the best thing to happen to American genre film since latex, Vulture has an interview.
Edited 8/23 622 Here’s the latest trailer for “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark,” directed by Troy Nixey, and opening this Friday. As happy as I am to see a new horror film that seems to remember that the genre isn’t always how gorily you can dispose of someone, but can occasionally rise above such […]
