The trailer for 65 dropped earlier this week and it looked – at least initially – pretty impressive as Adam Driver plays a pilot who’s spaceship, which happens to be transporting 35 people for reasons that aren’t revealed, is disabled by an asteroid, and falls to Earth. Surviving the crash, he has to not manage […]
James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water is projected to earn somewhere between $118 and $128 million in China over the weekend, which is pretty impressive. Which is a pretty stellar opening, no doubt but – and it’s a really impressive ‘but’ – the movie is believed to cost somewhere in the ballpark of $350-$400 […]
What is it about filmmakers that makes them continue to make movies that are supposedly about actual human beings, where they adopt hideous dolls or, in the case of M3gan, create equally hideous automatons that it goes without saying are going to try to kill them at some point? Do you remember 2014’s Annabelle? In […]
I really wanted to like Alien: Covenant (2017), though if I had to be honest it’s a particularly stupid movie at points where it didn’t need to be, mainly for reasons of ‘movie,’ though to see it you have to manage to look beyond the gorgeous production design and visual effects, both Ridley Scott trademarks. […]
The first movie I saw – or thought I saw – from Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson was Resolution (2012). I enjoyed it but thought of it as a one-off and thought no more of it, which is somewhat unusual for me because I’ve always had more of a fascination with the people behind the […]
I like to check iTunes Movie Of The Week section every once in awhile because you never know what’s going to turn up and for 99 cents you can’t beat the price (Besides, it’s where I discovered Chad Faust’s Girl (2020) which I really enjoyed). The movie on offer was Neil Burger’s (Limitless, Divergent, etc) […]
The Second Season of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy dropped last Friday, and it’s pretty good. Based upon a Dark Horse comic written by Gerald Way and Gabriel Bá, Season Two begins where last season ended, which is to say that the students of the Umbrella Academy fail at their attempt to stop the Apocalypse. Number […]
Jeff Chan’s Code 8 began life as a short movie, and having watched most of it, it’s REALLY faithful to the trailer for the movie. For comparison’s sake, here’s the original short film… And my reaction to the recently released trailer. And let’s be honest, Code 8 is essentially the X-Men, and that’s okay because […]
I have been know to review books here on Screenphiles, but it’s not something that I do on any sort of regular basis. That being said, I just finished Patty Jansen‘s Shifting Reality, the Book I of the ISF-Allion Series and it was…okay. The future world the novel depicts was an interesting one, though my biggest […]
Support LEGO potentially creating a LEGO-ized version of the Eagle Transporter from Space: 1999, one of the most awesome and iconic spaceships in television history. No matter if your preference is for the more cerebral Year One… Or more dynamic Year Two, you can’t go wrong. Though most fans of Gerry […]
