“Bedtime is at 9:30. It’s probably best that you don’t come out of your room after that.” Oh yeah, nothing at all eerie about that. No reason to suspect that something’s not quite right with Grandpa and Grandma. When I heard that quote, taken verbatim from the trailer from M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming horror […]
As someone who’s enjoyed the television show that the Mission Impossible movies are based on it has always bothered me that the movies are essentially the Tom Cruise Show. Sure, there’s a supporting cast, but unlike in the series, they’re there entirely to support Cruise’s Ethan Hunt. I understand that he’s a big star–though by no means […]
The official trailer for ITV’s The Thunderbirds Are Go! has dropped, and I like the way that they tried to integrate practical sets with CGI people and vehicles. (I also liked what appears to be a shoutout to Gerry Anderson’s Space: 1999, shown below). Unfortunately, despite efforts to make the CGI characters look like puppets […]
Gerry Anderson as a producer has always fascinated me. Despite being behind some of the most innovative puppet (Supermarionation)-based television series, he was never entirely satisfied with working with them, and always wanted to work with flesh and blood actors. That being said, he first time that he did so, in UFO, Journey To The Far Side […]
How limited, you might ask? I have no idea, though according to The Daily Dead the free period began on the 16th, two days ago, so if you don’t already have in your collection, I’d take advantage of it before someone comes to their senses. Besides, the last “horror” film I watched was Children Of […]
There’s a new Thunderbirds series coming from ITV, which is a good thing. The not-so-good-news is that the Anderson estate has nothing to do with it (if Jamie Anderson has a connection, he’s not telling), though perhaps that’s counterbalanced by Jonathan Frakes also having nothing to do with it, considering the mess that he made of […]
Considering how ISIS (the International Secret Intelligence Service)–not the terrorist organization currently in vogue–seemingly did everything they could undermine their own efforts, they hardly needed help from outside. Or inside, for that matter. That being said, I feel reasonably certain that there there was someone within ISIS doing just that. Perhaps they were too caught up in their […]
The Invaders is a television series that originally aired in 1967, and lasted for two seasons. It revolved around a man, David Vincent (Roy Thinnes) who on the way home from work saw an alien spacecraft. He then spent the rest of the series tracking down the aliens, who have been behind numerous plots to gain a foothold […]
Let’s (Not) Be Cops, And Say That We Did When I saw the trailer for Let’s Be Cops I genuinely enjoyed it. It not only looked funny, but stars both Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr, who are also in the Fox sitcom New Girl (which is funny), whom I assume since they knew each other […]
I don’t know what it is about Warner Bros superheroes. For some reason, if the movies are any indicator, Metropolis and Gotham City are where dreams and hope go to die. Overall, everything is dark (more so, at least in a physical sense, in Gotham) and gloomy, as if the inhabitants carried invisible weights upon their shoulders. And […]
