Ralph Bakshi Comes To Kickstarter!

I have been a fan of Kickstarter for quite awhile now, and try to cover them whenever there is a project that catches my interest.  In the past I have written about other Kickstarters like “Sullivan’s Sluggers,” and the relaunch of a crowd-funded version of Top Cow’s “Cyber Force.” Well, here’s the next project that […]

What Happened To The Black Panther?

Today has not been my day. The most irritating aspect of which being my attempt to watch Michael Bassett’s “Silent Hill: Revelation” via iTunes. I have no idea why things went all sorts of wonky, but I spent four or five hours from the discomfort of my bed trying to watch the movie. Though what […]

Marvel Studios May Have Found Their ‘Drax’

And I don’t mean Hugo Drax, the villain in 1979’s James Bond adventure, “Moonraker.” Casting for Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy” have been going on since mid-2012, and recently StarLord has been cast. Now another member of his crew, the lethal alien Drax The Destroyer, may have been found.  According to Collider, Jason Momoa […]

‘The Lords of Salem,’ Trailer 2

Let’s be clear:  I don’t think Rob Zombie is a very good director.  In fact, his movies on one level can be seem to be primarily vehicles for employing his wife, Sherri Moon Zombie; which I have nothing against because such nepotism in Hollywood–or anywhere else for that matter–isn’t exactly unusual. Judd Apatow gives his […]

‘Silver Linings Playbook’ Review

“David O’ Russell’s “Silver Linings Playbook,” shows that it’s sometimes hard to separate the keepers from the inmates.” The first part of this review is more a commentary upon the behavior of the director, David O’Russell.  If such things don’t interest you, please continue reading below the second Youtube clip. I saw David O’ Russell’s 2009 film,“Three […]

‘Big Ass Spider’ Trailer

A movie named “Big Ass Spider” probably doesn’t put one in the mind of “Remains of the Day” or “The King’s Speech;” which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  What it does do is to remind me of those Saturday afternoon matinee-type movies that came on Channel 11 (WPIX) in Manhattan when I was growing up, […]
