Riddick: Blindsided
This trailer is a bit of a prequel to “Riddick,” currently in theaters. It’s a cool way of getting a little more background before seeing the film.
‘Riddick’ Review
““Riddick” rocks, and a R-rating ensures that there are curses and gore aplenty.” Mild spoilers below. A lot of reviews I have read of David Twohy’s “Riddick” take issue with the idea that it resembles the film that introduced the character Richard B. Riddick, “Pitch Black.” Using this logic, John Ford’s “The Man Who Shot […]
‘Grudge Match’ Trailer
I have never been too fond of boxing films. Their goal is generally an inspirational one, but truth be told I don’t tend to find two guy pounding each other into incoherence all that inspiring. Peter Segal’s “Grudge Match” looks to be more geared toward the the comedic than the inspirational, which is good. Plus, […]
X-File A Day – “Darkness Falls”
“Darkness Falls” is the twentieth episode of the first season of The X-Flies, and despite its ‘monster of the week’ nature, is a favorite of mine. The story takes place in Olympic National Forest, in Northwest Washington State (though I am reasonably sure that it really doesn’t). A logging crew vanishes without a trace, though […]
‘Under The Skin’ Trailer
Hmm…I had no idea that Jonathan Glazer’s “Under The Skin” was a sci-fi film. I’ve heard of it, but for some reason I thought that it was in the same ballpark as the Meg Ryan film “In The Cut” – which, despite never having seen it – isn’t. Watching the trailer – and Scarlett Johansson’s […]
‘Pacific Rim’ Effects Video
The visuals of this clip are provided by Mirada Studios, about the making of the prologue from Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim. Those effects are pretty impressive, though what seems to be lost amongst all that visual wizardry is the music behind the trailer, which is provided by Ramin Djawadi (pronounced Java-dee). The track is […]
‘Penny Dreadful’ (2006) Review
If there’s one thing I cannot stand, it’s learned helplessness. Some movies run on the stuff, and it’s frustrating to watch. Unfortunately, it also reminds me of Richard Brandes’ 2006 film, “Penny Dreadful,” part of After Dark’s Horrorfest. Penny Deerborn’s (Rachel Miner) parents died in a car crash, which she witnessed. This caused her to […]
Diablo III Is Different On Consoles
Diablo III was recently released for consoles like the XBox and Playstation 3, and I wanted to find some information on how well they translated to gaming consoles. Graphically, the games may have lost something in translation, though the greatest change is probably due to how the game sounds. I haven’t owned a video game […]
‘The Double’ Trailer
Recently Richard Ayoade’s “The Double” premiered at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival). The trailer has recently been released, and I don’t know what to make of it. It stars Jessie Eisenberg, who I generally like watching (despite the fact that his last film, “Can You See Me,” I will always believe was less a heist […]
‘Snowpiercer’ Under The Knife
Snowpiercer, the latest film by Bong Joon-ho, is soon to be released domestically, after premiering to enthusiastic crowds in South Korea and opening bigger than any other film in that country’s history. Now, my question is: Wouldn’t you want to see this film as the director intended, as opposed to it being cut especially for […]
