The trailer for Fede Alvarez’s ‘Alien: Romulus’ is finally here, though if you’ve been looking for it prior on YouTube I can understand your skepticism since trailers for the movie have been turning up for the better part of a year. Though I assure you, this is the real thing though don’t take my word […]
Earlier today a trailer dropped for Zach Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver and it pissed me off a bit. Reason being Zach Snyder is at best a mediocre director; all flash and very little substance and that he’s received millions to make mediocre movies means that someone – or perhaps a lot […]
I have not been too enthusiastic about what I have seen of the recent crop of horror movies adapted from characters recently introduced in the public domain, like Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse because (particularly in the case of the former) they seem to forget why people loved them in the first place. Now, […]
I’m not typically into fan-made products because while the love for a particular franchise may come through, the production value doesn’t tend to do the same. And while Superman: Solar isn’t particularly cinematic and the lighting, is at best, uneven, you can tell director/writer Andrew List cares about the character. And that’s a quality missing […]
I was impressed by M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense (1999) as I imagine most people were though eventually I came to notice that the bulk of his movies that followed were for the most part The Twilight Zone knock-offs (sans the brilliant writing of Rod Serling). And for awhile his shtick worked…till it didn’t […]
The teaser trailer for Warner Bros. upcoming Barbie feature dropped today and I only looked at it out of morbid curiosity because I was certain that it wouldn’t be anything I would be interested in, that it would be likely be all girly and Barbie-ish. And I was wrong (which is certainly a surprise to […]
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 […]
Let’s be clear, Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear is likely to be dumb as shit. And sure it’s based on an actual event, but like most movies that make that claim it’s likely to neglect the more pertinent details of the story, which is that four-legged animals can overdose – and die – just as easily […]
Freeze is based on the work of H.P. Lovecraft and like most such adaptations, my expectations are not high. This is because by my reckoning most people that adapt Lovecraft don’t understand Lovecraft (kind of like when Zach Snyder was at the helm of DC’s live action efforts. You could feel the contempt he had […]
Found footage movies are hard to do well. Having seen the success of The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity – both of which were made on shoestring budgets and making profits significantly larger than their production cost – I get the feeling that filmmakers take it for granted that they’re something anyone can do. […]
