I’m surprised by the trailer for Joseph Kelly’s Clown Motel because it’s really, really good! It has a very Rob Zombie/House Of 1000 Corpses feel to it and I think it will be a really engaging feature.
I have never been a fan of the Fox-Men movies (I liked the first and X-Men: Days Of Future Past. Other than that? Not so much) partially because the X-Men belong with Marvel Studios and partially because Fox takes too many liberties with the characters and some really epic stories. And then there’s the fact […]
This trailer brings me such joy. It’s so weird, so odd that it’s really, really good. That being said, I expect the movie to be something we’ve already seen before, with pokémon (should I capitalize the ‘p’ in ‘pokémon?’ I wouldn’t capitalize the ‘d’ in ‘dog’ unless it were either the name of a dog […]
Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials looks like a pretty interesting trilogy–which I haven’t read–though you probably couldn’t tell from the 2007 movie version, The Golden Compass. Luckily the BBC hasn’t given up because they’re launching a new series based upon Pullman’s books. And it looks pretty good.
Movies about AI going bonkers–like 2001: A Space Odyssey or 2018’s Tau–are hardly uncommon but AMI hits a little bit closer to home with a digital assistant that’s remarkably similar to Apple’s Siri. And speaking of digital assistants, check out Marti, an episode from the Netflix series Creeped Out. I suspect it’s a lot like […]
I have to admit that I was initially a bit lukewarm about Jordan Peele’s reboot of The Twilight Zone. And that’s less a commentary of Peele’s skills as a writer (I assume he’ll be writing some of the episodes) more than Rod Serling was so iconic that I’m not at all comfortable with the idea […]
The original Children Of The Corn (1984) is a pretty good movie, though the sequels got progressively bad, till we reached Children Of The Corn: Urban Harvest, which is absolutely terrible (See it! It’s fascinatingly bad!) This new version, directed by John Culager, looks decent, though as I mentioned in my review of the trailer, […]
I want to mock the people that got all into a tizzy over the lack of the Genie (Will Smith) in the last teaser trailer for their upcoming live-action Aladdin. Then again, I’m because I try not to be too blatant a hypocrite because while I may not particularly care about live action versions of […]
A new trailer for the upcoming reboot of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary dropped a day or two ago, and…it looks pretty good, which is understandable you realize it’s directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer (the directors of the great Starry Eyes). My greatest problem is that the original Pet Sematary (I literally just realized–after […]
You know the feeling you get when you think a movie’s likely to be a blatant money grab? Let’s just say my radar went off when watching the trailer for Lars Klevberg’s Child’s Play. Klevberg’s filmography is relatively brief–I’ve seen posters of Polaroid in movie theaters, but have no idea when the movie will actually […]
