This is going to sound like sacrilege, but I have to say it: I never liked Roman Polanski’s “Rosemary’s Baby.” There, my secret is out. It’s treated like some sort of classic of slow-burn horror by most people who have seen it, but from what I could tell, it’s just slow. In some ways the […]
Here’s a photo from “Slates From Sarah” Facebook page, where she has a picture of John Constantine from NBC’s upcoming series “Constantine,” based upon the DC Comics character. I think it goes without saying that he has the look right (it’s so good that it almost looks like a parody of the character) though only […]
“”Bad Words” Starts Out Amusingly, Before Becoming Uncomfortably Mean-Spirited And Icky.” “Bad Words,” the is the debut of Jason Bateman as a feature film director. He also stars as Guy Trilby in a curious film that at first glance appears to be about an adult whom decides to compete in a children’s spelling bee. And […]
Can this movie look any cooler? This time the trailer seems to feature the Falcon, who we see going against the Winter Soldier. We also get to see the Black Widow in action, administering the Widow’s Bite to an unfortunate victim. I understand that I am not exactly the audience that these trailers are being […]
Do you ever get the feeling that someone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes? I ask because many outlets, including the New York Daily News and Superherohype, have posted a picture of costume that would be worn by Grant Gustin in the CW Network action series “The Flash.” My problem is that, […]
Yesterday AMC had an interview with Chris Pratt, James Gunn and Kevin Fiege (President of Marvel Studios) about their upcoming movie “Guardians Of The Galaxy.” Here it is in its entirely. The conversation is interesting, and John Campea, of AMC Movie News, asks some good questions (though there’s a whole lot of fawning going on) […]
“Dead Eyes And All, “Starship Troopers: Invasion” Takes The Series In A Great New Direction.” “Starship Troopers,” Paul Verhoeven’s version of Robert Heinlein’s novel, has spawned three sequels, “Starship Troopers: Hero of the Federation,” “Starship Troopers: Marauder,” and Starship Troopers: Invasion” as well as an CGI-based series, “Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles.” It goes without saying […]
Eugenio Mira‘s “Grand Piano” plays like a version of “Speed,” but with an awesome twist. Tom Selznick (Elijah Wood) is a pianist who had a fall from grace, and is playing his first concert in a long time. The problem is that there’s a killer, played by John Cusack, also attending the show, and he […]
“I Have Used 500 Words What Could Have Taken Significantly Less: “Wishmaster 3″ Is A Pretty Mediocre Movie.” Do you recall “Hellraiser: Revelations?” A movie that was little more than a cynical ploy by Dimension to keep the rights to the franchise by issuing a sub-par sequel? I wasn’t aware of this being done before, […]
I don’t think that Michael Bay and Zach Snyder are the same people, though the new trailer for “Transformers: Age Of Extinction” plays eerily similar to trailers for Snyder’s “Man Of Steel”– though at least Bay lets you know that everything is going to Hell pretty quickly. It appears this time around that humanity have […]
