As you can tell from the screenshots of the Tweets that I have included below, I have been having a few conversations with Baymax, of Disney’s upcoming Big Hero 6. He’s very literal, as is the way with most machines–and reminds me quite a bit of Apple Inc’s Siri. Besides, how can you resist a mug like […]
Community Season 1 Trailer Though that’s not to imply that I didn’t try. When there’s so much buzz around a show you think that if you don’t at least check it out, you’re be missing something. Which is a normal feeling. I honestly think that a lot of the reason behind the success of HBO’s Game Of Thrones and AMC’s […]
This latest trailer for Guardians Of The Galaxy has a lot of stuff from prior trailers, as well as a few new scenes too.
I don’t quite know what to make of Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman. On one level it appears to be a superhero drama, on another it appears to be a dark comedy. I get the feeling that this Birdman only exists in the imagination of Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) whom appears to be a washed-up actor. What his […]
This movie is going to be huge. With The Transformers: Age Of Extinction and Guardians Of The Galaxy coming, The Equalizer probably isn’t on too many people’s radar, though it should be. It’s based upon the 1985 CBS television series that starred the late Edward Woodward. He played a private detective, and former intelligence agent, that […]
If you needed another reason to love Marvel Studios–besides their awesome movies–it’s probably because they’re best at translating their characters to the screen, which is why when I heard that they were preparing to launch four new series exclusively for Netflix a few months ago, I was so happy that you’d think that I was […]
Tim Story is a prolific multihyphenate producer-director, who in the 12 years between 2002 to 2014, produced one feature and directed 10. In 2011 he began a partnership with Kevin Hart, directing the standup specials Laugh At My Pain, followed by Let Me Explain (with Leslie Small) in 2013. Between those two films he directed Think Like A Man, with […]
Denzel Washington isn’t necessarily a prolific actor, but he is a reliable one. He has the enviable ability to elevate every movie that’s he’s in, a talent that came in handy during movies like Ricochet (which could use a bit of elevating). I have always thought of Washington as Tony Scott’s muse, which was why Scott killing […]
For the first time Pixar is taking on a Marvel property. Big Hero 6 is a superhero team that–at least in the comics–has ties to Marvel’s X-Men. In fact, the comic where they first appeared was called “Sunfire & Big Hero 6.” Sunfire being a mutant from the X-Men comics. And seeing that connection and the fact that mutants, […]
“Gotham” is a series about Gotham City before Batman, which reminds me: Why would anyone care about Gotham City before Batman? That’s not to imply that I am saying that a young Commissioner Gordon is by any means incompetent but you take away the Caped Crusader, you’re left with a procedural like “Law & Order,” […]
