According to The Wrap, Len Weisman is leaving “The Mummy” reboot over at Universal because of scheduling conflicts. And while I wish him no ill-will, I have to say that this will probably be for the best because Weisman – be it his ‘Underworld’ films or his entry in the ‘Die Hard’ canon, “Live Free […]
“The Collection” isn’t the worse film that you’ll ever see, though it’s probably one of the most pointless.” (I was made aware that my original review contained some inaccuracies – like the title of the film, for instance – so I have made corrections. Thanks, Jamie. The film is called “The Collection,” not “The Collector,” which is its […]
This is the second episode in the First season, and revolves around Cornel Robert Boudahas (Andrew Johnston) who appears to be suffering the effects of piloting craft that may be based upon extraterrestrial technology. At some point, he vanishes, which results his wife calling in the FBI. Story-wise, it’s not the best of the series, […]
Possibly, though under some certain very specific conditions. Marvel Studios has regained the rights to use characters like Blade, Ghost Rider, Daredevil and The Punisher, though Fox owns not only the rights to use the X-Men in features (which Wolverine is a member) but also the term “mutants” – describing enhanced human beings – as well. And […]
As I have written elsewhere, “Pacific Rim,” despite somewhat underperforming domestically, is doing well overseas. And according to The Wrap, it will be released this Wednesday in China, which will go a long way to determining if there will be a sequel. It’s not an accident that one of the jaegers, Crimson Typhoon, is Chinese, […]
Can Keanu Reeves star in a movie where he doesn’t happen to be “The One?” I mean, it was interesting in Andy Wachowski and Lena Wachowski’s ‘Matrix’ films, but it’s beginning to feel a bit long in the tooth. Also, watching the trailer for Carl Rinsch’s troubled “47 Ronin” part of me wonders why the […]
“Squeeze” is the third episode of the First season of the X-Files, and introduced arguably one of the most iconic characters in the series’ history, Eugene Tooms (Doug Hutchinson). Tooms is a genetic mutant, and has the ability to contort his body, enabling him to fit into spaces and openings an ordinary human couldn’t. Another […]
I don’t think that I have ever seen a film that demands a remake more than this one (and I know that I have written that remakes/reboots are generally a bad idea, but this film is crying out for it) “Casulties,” was made in 1997 by Alex Graves and revolves around Annie Summers (Caroline Goodall) and her […]
How does Conan O’ Brien get these scoops? I’d be careful if I were him because from what I hear the Sony legal department is just waiting to catch infringers in its legal web. Heck, Conan has money, so he’ll be OK. Me, I am not too sure. Despite my doubts, I have to believe […]
“Conduit” is the fourth episode of the First season, and where we learn more about why Mulder believes so strongly that “The Truth Is Out There.” It revolves around a woman, Darlene Morris (Carrie Snodgrass) who is camping with her daughter, Ruby (Taunya Dee) and son Kevin (Joel Palmer), when they are visited by a […]
