While I am not sure that I agree with the sentiment (despite finding male cheerleaders particularly irritating. I should also mention that cheerleading isn’t a sport, in and of itself, though it does employ certain aspects of sports, such as gymnastics) of Lucky McKee‘s latest movie, which he directs with Chris Sivertson. I do think […]
“Like “Lord Of The Flies,” except more rapey.” Xavier Gens‘ “The Divide” begins with a mysterious attack on an American city. I think it was New York, but it’s actually not that relevant in that Gens is less interested in making any sort of political statement than he is with putting together eight people from […]
Most of the films that are being remade these days don’t need to be, while those that could really use it, generally aren’t. For instance, Douglass Trumbull’s “Silent Running,” a film about a future Earth that exhausted its resources, is a prime candidate for rebooting because its ‘dying earth’ theme is even more relevant in […]
Martin Scorsese is pretty much a legend at this point, after having directed films like “Mean Streets,” “Taxi Driver,” “Raging Bull,” and “Shutter Island” among many, many others. His latest is “The Wolf of Wall Street,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio. I would offer some commentary on the trailer if it weren’t for Youtube loading remarkably slow […]
“There’s nothing wrong with Esther that a few well-placed bullets couldn’t cure.” There are some people that will tell you the secret of “Orphan,” which if you haven’t seen it is a shame because it deserves to be taken on its own terms. And though the naysayers in some instances have raised valid points, it […]
“Gore Verbinski’s “The Lone Ranger” is over-long, over-written, and too ambitious for it’s own good, especially considering that the character can be summed up in a sentence or two.” Gore Verbinski’s “The Lone Ranger” has received some scathingly bad reviews – which had a lot to do with me not seeing it in the theater. That […]
I hate to admit it, but I don’t like this trailer. The storyline from the X-Men comics was grand in scope, and so epic that it literally reverberated through time. This trailer shows very little of that. That being said, Bryan Singer could be holding his cards close to the vest, but when the trailer […]
‘Born Again’ is the 22nd episode of “The X-Files” and is a clever twist on evil children (which is apt, considering we’re coming up on Halloween) in that the child, Michelle Bishop (Andrea Libman) isn’t evil, but is somehow attached to the spirit of a police officer, Detective Charlie Morris, that had been wronged by […]
When I saw the standee for “Last Vegas” in the theater, I assumed that it was some sort of gangster film. Having seen the commercial, it’s actually a bucket list sort of movie. Which is OK for me, but what’s most interesting is that the trailer really seems to feature Morgan Freeman as a doddering […]
I know, trailers always look good, after all, they’re showing the best of the movie. That being said, the new trailer for “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” sets all sort of standards for awesomeness. From what I can see there appears to be a traitor (or perhaps signs of a power struggle) within S.H.I.E.L.D. I […]
