I stumbled upon the trailer for Aneesh Chaganty’s Run earlier today, and while I know you can’t necessarily judge a movie by it’s trailer, this looks pretty amazing. The movie appears to revolve around Diane Sherman (Sarah Paulson), the mother of a handicapped young woman who’s entirely dependent upon her. Or is she? As the […]
I must admit to not particularly caring about HBO’s Westworld, especially since from the start it seemed to be moving away–perhaps by necessity–from the relatively simple story of the 1973 original. Besides, the times that we’re living in things like AI (artificial intelligence) are common discussion points among people and there’s little chance the series […]
I was reading an article on Men’s Health that ranked all the James Bond themes and while I didn’t agree with every conclusion reached I found the idea of Louis Armstrong recording a Bond theme a pretty intriguing one. Armstrong’s song, All The Time In The World, was featured in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, […]
Someone said “You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression,” or something to that effect. The same thing applies to movie posters. I’ve been known to not see a movie based exclusively on the poster. And I understand that that’s not entirely fair, but it is what it is though I understand […]
This is an odd one because when I learned the title of the latest Saw movie was Spiral: From The Book Of Saw I got vaguely biblical vibes (that’s why in my reaction I kept saying ‘Saul’ instead of ‘Saw’), which considering the subject matter is virtually sacrilegious. Spiral is a reboot of a franchise […]
Fast & Furious 9 as a title just feels awkward to me. Maybe it’s the combination of an ampersand with a number. Though the trailer itself? It’s fucking bonkers. I’ve never been a fan of the Fast & Furious movies but it feels like it’s part of the MCU’s multiverse because the cars and their […]
Vivarium was directed by Lorcan Finnegan, and he happens to be a director I’m familiar with, having seen his 2016 movie, Without Name. Speaking of Without Name, it was okay though the concept when all is said and done was more interesting than the execution. Now Vivarium…this looks interesting! It reminds me vaguely of The […]
Netflix’s The October Faction is based on a graphic novel–which I haven’t read–though I think it’s really interesting that they haven’t surrendered the comics space to Disney+ and DC Universe. Which reminds me, if Netflix is looking to adapt a property, why not consider Dark Horse’s Comics Greatest World franchise? Sure, it was canceled but […]
If you’ve seen The Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2 and Venom you probably feel that Sony’s treatment of Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man property has not always been up to snuff (and you likely noticed I didn’t include Sam Raimi’s original trilogy, and that was no accident since Raimi essentially did what he wanted with the first two movies; with any mentionable degree […]
Earlier today the official trailer for The New Mutants dropped and…it’s not entirely different from the trailers that dropped two years ago. Yes, this movie was in the pipeline for that long. At the time Josh Boone’s movie wasn’t well regarded among Fox executives and since the purchase of their movie assets by Disney a […]
