When I first heard of Underworld I imagined it would be incredible. Vampires and werewolves engaged in a conflict that’s spanned ages! A war that raged for the most part outside of human knowledge? Yes, please! Eventually I saw the movie and realized that vampires and werewolves go great together–that is till you shoehorn in elements of The Matrix, gun […]
M. Night Shyamalan continues to have a very interesting career. For awhile, he was by some considered the heir apparent” to Steven Spielberg, which is very rarified air. And I can’t imagine that not going to his head a little bit, which probably has at least a little to do with Lady in the Water. That being said, I […]
Here’s my reaction trailer to Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival. It looks pretty interesting, and I like the seemingly more cerebral approach to the material. In other words, it reminds me of Independence Day, but a little more thoughtful and nuanced. And I’ll try harder not to call it The Arrival, which was a Charlie Sheen movie from […]
Here’s my reaction trailer to Marvel’s Luke Cage. The trailer looks pretty awesome (but it isn’t always the case?) and if Daredevil and Jessica Jones are any indication, this will be pretty impressive as well. The unremarked upon trailer is below.

It’s also been confirmed by Scott Derrickson that Doctor Strange will […]
I honestly don’t understand the point of an “Ultimate Edition” of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice because I don’t know what’s it’s supposed to do. Make a confusing narrative a bit less so? Offer some sort of information why it is characters that in some instances have existed for 80 years have suddenly been […]
As I mention in my latest video (below the text), the most recent trailer for Star Trek: Beyond (I don’t care that there’s no colon, I’m putting one in anyway) looks pretty interesting. There’s a lot going on–maybe even a bit too much because from a narrative standpoint I have no idea why things are happening […]
