Major spoilers below. Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores’ (otherwise known as The Butcher Brothers) “The Hamiltons,” while essentially a vampire film, is a post-modern take – vampirism is treated as a disease that you are born with, and can be spread by no other means. It shares more in common with films like “Near Dark” […]
Here’s the cover to the upcoming DVD for Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim,” coming out October 10. The robot versus monsters epic has earned just over $400 million dollars worldwide, while speculation of a sequel continues. Thanks to Superherohype.
That was quick. Thanks to Rafael Dominguez Estrada, who found this on Youtube, despite me having looked for it earlier. The trailer in and of itself looks OK, but the major league actors (Samuel Jackson and Gary Oldman) that look to be playing somewhat “minor” roles reminds me of Christopher Nolan’s casting of Michael Caine […]
I would post the latest trailer for José Padilha’s “RoboCop,” reboot, but it’s in Yahooese, which means that WordPress doesn’t play well with it. I’ll post it here as soon as it’s available via Youtube. The trailer itself is OK, and looks different enough from the original that at least it appears that they’re only […]
Gerry Anderson, the creator of “Thunderbirds,” “Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons,” “Space: 1999” among many others popular series died last year, though the profile producer was working on numerous projects for as long as he was capable. The first of those projects, “Gemini Force 1,” is being released via Kickstarter as a series of books. […]
There are some good moments in the trailer for Nicholas Stoller’s “Neighbors,” (particularly the airbag incident) but I don’t know…it somehow feels so calculated, as if some studio executive put what they think today’s young people like into a computer, and among various other things out came the names: Seth Rogen, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Zac […]
According to Fusible.com, the title of the upcoming Transformers film will be some variation of “Transformers: Last Stand,” “Transformers: Future Cast,” or “Transformers: Apocalpypse.” They base their information upon domain registrations, which has proven accurate in reference to the last film, “Transformers: Dark Of The Moon.” That being said, no matter how interesting the title […]
A very rare bird. Think of a coelacanth (which were discovered alive a few decades ago, though despite being such a remarkable, unusual creature it may be endangered) or a Tasmanian Tiger (none discovered alive, though rumors persist). It’s that unusual. What makes it such a great idea is that the original – a precursor […]
I think that I might see “Carrie.” Not because I expect that it has anything to offer that’s any better or different than Brian DePalma’s 1976 film – I don’t – but because I want to see if it has any reason for being other than the most cynical of motivations. I could be wasting […]
Growing up I watched any program even remotely associated with Erich von Däniken with increased interest. Von Däniken is the writer of “Chariots of the Gods” and other books that claimed to reveal evidence that aliens played a hand in the development of humanity at various times in our history. The greatest problem I found with […]
