I don’t usually reserve one parking space for two vehicles in this ‘Trailer Park,’ though when two movies, on a superficial level, cover similar ground, Why not? Is there something going on, or is it just coincidence that two movies are coming out that involve people who happen to have doubles. First is Denis Villeneuve‘s […]
Sure. Zach Snyder understands Superman canon. I guess the rest of us, including Richard Donner, just glossed over the body count.
The Internets are filled with all sorts of reasons why Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Guardians Of The Galaxy” could potentially be in trouble, but most of the justifications that I have come upon don’t hold water. That’s why I listed below five assorted reasons why “Guardians Of The Galaxy,” supposedly, won’t do well, and the reason […]
There’s talk about a new series of ‘Matrix’ films, and I think it’s an awesome idea. The original story, about people fighting for the freedom to live in the world of the real, instead of a computer-generated facsimile, is a canvas broad enough that it can be easily be revisited. The most important thing is […]
When I first saw the title, ‘Skinwalker Ranch,’ I assumed that it was somehow related to porn. It’s not, though after learning that’s it’s “Inspired By True Events” I almost wished that it were. Because whenever a movie is “Inspired By True Events,” and that film is science fiction or horror, it generally means that […]
As I repeat often enough, remakes are evil (except when they’re not). Recently I watched “Wishmaster” and “Wishmaster 2” on Netflix, and got to thinking… I decided to deal with both movies at the same time because, despite one being a sequel, they’re essentially the same film. Sure, you have differences in casting and the […]
The trailer of Gareth Edwards’ “Godzilla” trailer has arrived, and I have to say that I like it (despite that opening ‘Transformers’ horn sound). Heavy on atmospherics, relatively little of the big lizard itself, it’s looking pretty good. Overall, it looks interesting enough that “Monsters” will only be an distant memory.
While I think that it’s a bit much to call director Ti West a “critic’s darling” his films tend to be well-regarded by most. He’s an interesting director (and actor. The last film he appeared in was “You’re Next”) but I think his work tends to be a bit over-rated. It’s very watchable, and even […]
“”Bad Milo!” Is Disgustingly Hilarious!” (Spoilers follow) Imagine E.T., if instead of outer space, he came from inner space. And by “inner” I mean your ass. “Bad Milo!” is a film directed by Jacob Vaughan, and Executive Produced the Duplass Brothers (Jay and Mark). Mark Duplass acts as well, and probably is most well-known as […]
“Heroes” was a series about people with special abilities that ran on NBC from 2006-2010. It was produced by Tim Kring (“Crossing Jordan,” “Touch”) and in 2006 set the world on fire with the catchphrase “Save The Cheerleader,” Save The World.” Unfortunately, after that the series began to fall apart; partially due to a writer’s […]
