The teaser trailer for Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is pretty amazing, primarily because it doesn’t appear that the upcoming movie will ignore the death of Chadwick Boseman – who played T’Challa/Black Panther – who died of colon cancer in 2020. Though another thing of interest is that the movie serves as the introduction […]
A lot of people want you to think that a person’s private persona is entirely separate from that which they present to the public. I don’t buy it, especially these days when information travels so quickly. For instance, I don’t think it’s debatable that Roman Polanski is a talented director, but I find the rape […]
I think it’s an interesting question: Why are we getting a movie based on Morbius The Living Vampire? The feature is based on a Marvel Comics character, Michael Morbius, who in a search for cure to his own blood-borne illness develops a condition awfully close to vampirism (hence the whole ‘Living Vampire’ thing). If it […]
As I’ve said before, I grew up reading comics so when I learned earlier this year that one of my favorite characters, Moon Knight, was going to have his own show I have to admit that I was a bit jazzed because he’s one of my favorite characters (and perhaps could even get me to […]
I enjoyed the second trailer for Lana Wachowski’s The Matrix Revolutions, though despite my curiosity, I have no intention of seeing it in theaters. That’s because I abhor Warner Bros’ dual release strategy – releasing movies in theaters at the same time they premiere on HBOMax, the streaming platform owned by Warner Media (the parent […]
I’d like to think that I bring more enthusiasm to my reactions, though with David Gordon Green’s Halloween Kills I just can’t find the energy. It’s not that I don’t like it. I thought that the first movie, Halloween (2018) while bringing little that was new to the reboot game, was at least interesting (and […]
Roland Emmerich is a bit of a dinosaur in the sense that he does one thing – direct big, typically catastrophe-driven – action movies, and that’s it. Which isn’t to say that he hasn’t worked to expand his repertoire, if movies like Universal Soldier (1992), The Patriot (2000) or Stonewall (2015) are any indictors. That […]
The teaser trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home dropped yesterday and it’s pretty good though I wonder if I would feel the same about if it weren’t for Tom Holland, who’s pretty charismatic, and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) who’s the most interesting character in the trailer (which is notable because while I enjoyed his 2016 […]
I’m likely speaking to the converted at this point but I typically can’t stand remakes, particularly those that don’t do anything different than the original. Movies that do that aren’t worth the celluloid they’re filmed on. I bring this up because recently I learned that there’s a Japanese version of Vincenzo Natali’s Cube, which I […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony and Disney are working to stop any leaks of the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer before it premieres tomorrow. My question is, why bother? I can’t speak for anyone else but I make it my business to not watch leaked trailers because more often than not they look like […]
