I like ‘more’ as much as the next guy. More money, more “Pacific Rim” and more hard drives (I have always had a thing for storage space). Where ‘more’ doesn’t work so well for is when you have too many villains. After all, Sam Raimi is a pretty talented director yet his “Spider-Man 3” was […]
This trailer, called “Stranger” is from J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions. It looks like a bit of viral marketing, but for what, I have no idea. It is pretty interesting, though.
I think Marvel Studios “The Avengers” is – so far – the best superhero film ever made. It takes itself seriously enough that it doesn’t come off as silly, yet remembers that this stuff is based on comic books, which were originally geared toward children (though in places like Japan – and to an extent […]
“E.B.E.” or Extraterrestrial Biological Entity, is the seventeenth episode of “The X-Files” and it probes a little bit deeper into the conspiracy that powered the series for most of its run – and before it totally went off the rails in later seasons. It begins in Iraq, when a pilot shoots down an unidentified flying […]
“Antiviral” is worth seeing, though it’s too cold, distant and clinical to be called enjoyable.” I really want to believe that that “Antiviral” had something to say about the nature of fame, and its costs. But, as the saying goes, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. The film, the first by Brandon Cronenberg (the […]
I don’t know what it is about this trailer, but it makes me laugh. Maybe it’s the idea that a burned-out actor somehow becomes President, or perhaps it’s the over-the-top tone. Or maybe it’s the woman with the well-armed – and armored – brassiere (speaking of which, where are the bullets stored? There is no […]
I am not a huge Woody Allen fan, in fact the only film of his that I think I saw was “Sleeper.” Though I do hear a lot about how I am supposed to like his work. That being said, there’s something about multi-hyphenate director John Turturro’s “Fading Gigolo” that really interests me. And despite getting […]
“Young At Heart” is the sixteenth episode of the series, and it’s a doozy. In it Mulder is being stalked by a man that’s , supposedly, already dead. When Mulder had just joined the FBI, he shot John Barnett (David Peterson), though not before he killed another agent during a robbery. Barnett was taken alive, […]
Pictures from James Gunn’s “Guardians Of The Galaxy” have begun to turn up all over the Internets, and despite there being very little evidence to base an opinion (an informed one, at any rate) everyone has begun to chime in about the quality of the film. It’s worth mentioned that I am talking about a […]
In “Lazarus,” the fifteenth episode of the series, Scully’s ex-boyfriend and fellow agent, Jack Willis (Christopher Allport) is killed during a stakeout of a bank, though afterward the robber is shot by Scully. Both men momentarily die, though upon the resuscitation of Agent Willis, somehow the consciousness of the robber is transferred to his body. […]
