Some Memories, And Coma Patients, Are Best Left Alone Mark Hartley‘s Patrick, is currently on Netflix, and is surprisingly a engaging little horror film (before it jumps the rails, that is). I was expecting something silly, on the level of an Asylum feature, it was actually pretty engaging, before the aforementioned rail jumping. Charles Dance brought a much needed […]
Ripping a still-beating heart from the chest cavity that shelters it, as the blood washes all over you in a warm, red fountain. It runs in rivulets, like miniature water falls, down your face; some even winds its way toward your open mouth. The penny-copper tastes coats your tongue before making its way down your throat. At first […]
I haven’t heard of this before it turning up in my Twitter account, but for my money anything done in a Mike Mignola-style (or perhaps done by Mignola himself) is pretty awesome.
I found this interview with Steven DeKnight, the showrunner for Netfilix’s upcoming series based on Marvel’s Daredevil, on Superherohype. He actually give very little away, but does say that the series takes place in the 1970’s and that Vincent D’Onofrio is a really scary Kingpin. He also mentions that things are going really well, though I suspect […]
There may be more Guardians of the Galaxy trailers coming, but seeing that the movie is coming out in a bit less than two weeks, this is the last one (unless a new one has something more interesting to reveal) that I intend to post. The reason being, as far as I am concerned they’re […]
In the TV Spot No. 17, from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy you see a bit more of Groot and his relationship to Rocket. Though what interested me most about the trailer is the way Rocket speaks. He says: “Yes, you did, I just saw you do-ing it. Why you ly-ing.” And he sounds awfully ethnic, in fact, Hispanic. Since […]
I enjoy horror and science fiction movies, primarily, but they’re not the only type that I enjoy. For instance, John Schlesinger’s Marathon Man, Sydney Pollack’s Three Days of the Condor, George Roy Hill’s Slap Shot and Robert Altman’s M.A.S.H are four films that I hold in particularly high esteem. Which is primarily because they’re so different than […]
Boyhood Is A Fascinating Movie More Because Of How It Was Made, Than The Movie Itself I just saw Richard Linklater’s Boyhood, and it was pretty interesting, though mostly on the technical level (it was filmed over a period of 12 years); as an exercise in innovative filmmaking. As a movie meant to engage an audience, it’s way […]
I don’t get this movie. There’s a small town, heinous crimes involving young women and someone played by Daniel Radcliffe growing horns. Horns was written by Joe Hill, who happens to be the son of Stephen King. He’s probably not as prolific as his dad (which means that he’ll produce a full-length novel only every other week). What’s in the […]
If anyone had asked me if a movie about a twister being turned into a shark-delivery system was a good idea, I’d humor them a bit before I said: “A twister full of sharks?! That’s the dumbest idea I have ever heard of!” “Now get out of my office!” Which would have, in hindsight, been the wrong […]
