‘Snowpiercer’ Trailer

Imagine your entire world, from birth to death, as taking place on a train.  And on this train, you have the people that make it run – who end up as members of a perpetual underclass – and the well-to-do passengers, who end up as the people who control everything – and you have the […]

Bryan Singer Should Share The Wealth

The figure to the right of Bryan Singer is a  Sentinel, from the director’s upcoming  X-Men adventure, “Days Of Future Past” (which is based upon a storyline from the long-running Marvel Comics series). I am not crazy about how the Sentinel looks – especially considering how much better it looks in the comics – though […]

X-File A Day – “Fallen Angel”

This episode, the tenth of the series, begins with the crash of a mysterious object in Townsend, Wisconsin.  The U.S. Space Surveillance Center, which according to Deep Throat tracks all objects that enter American air space, have determined that the object – due to its erratic flight path and maneuverability – is not any aircraft […]

‘Pacific Rim’ Opens Huge In China

Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” may have received an important boost toward a sequel, courtesy of a $45 million opening in China. The giant robot versus monster feature has earned almost $95 million domestically, though internationally (including the Chinese box office), has surpassed $200 million dollars. As a result, the odds for a sequel odds […]

The Parallax View

I don’t actually think that Alan Pakula’s “The Parallax View” has stood the test of time very well.  The movie revolves around a reporter, Joseph Frady (Warren Beatty) who stumbles upon a plot by a mysterious corporation, The Parallax Corporation, to create assassins. I haven’t read the book by Loren Singer but it appears that virtually everything in […]

X-File A Day – “Space”

This is an interesting episode mainly because it’s based upon an image found by the Viking 1 Orbiter in 1978. Some believe that it’s a structure that was discovered on Mars that resembled a human face, similar to the Sphinx in Egypt, while most established space scientists believe that it’s a simple trick of light […]

Regal Movies Exclusive ‘Riddick’ Trailer

Thanks goes out to Adam Chitwood over at Collider for posting this trailer (It shows less than than the “Riddick” Red Band trailer already released, which isn’t a bad thing since that trailer revealed a little too much at times). Fortunately, what hasn’t changed is that this movie looks awesome.

A ‘Horse’s Mouth’ Worth Looking Into

The old proverb says “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth,” though Cy Curnin’s latest solo release “The Horses’s Mouth” is well worth closer inspection. The album, produced by Curnin and Nick Jackson, is thematically more optimistic than 2012’s “Solar Minimum.” Though I don’t imply that “The Horse’s Mouth” is the first time that […]

X-File A Day – “Pilot”

This is the episode that started it all.  It begins with a woman, dressed in a nightgown,  running through a dense forest at night.  She falls – as women tend to do in these situations – and a light appears over a nearby hill.  A figure that appears to be male steps out of it, […]
