You might have heard that, as a result of the box office performance of “The Amazing Spider-Man”–which earned just over $750 million worldwide, on a budget of $230 million–has warranted a sequel. And in other news, the sky is blue, and dinosaurs have been gone (except Nessie) for a long, long time. This is good news […]
A while ago I posted that Marvel is considering putting its test footage for Edgar Wright’s “Ant-Man” on the Interwebs? Well they haven’t done it yet, but there was an artist in attendance at Comic-Con, and they have drawn up and posted on Youtube a reenactment of the footage. Thanks to Collider for the info.
I am not a big fan of junk food, or junk TV, yet when I heard that the Season 7, the last, of “Weeds is on Netflix, I dived right in (I’m not kidding. I found out yesterday, and am already at episode seven, just about midway). There’s something about “Weeds” that just works. The […]
The trailer for Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit” has been out for a few days, though I am just getting around to posting it. Why did I wait so long, you may ask? If I wanted to answer in the least confrontational manner possible, I would say that J.R.R Tolkien’s books don’t transition to screen all […]
Here’s the first photo from James Mangold‘s “The Wolverine.” It tells you virtually nothing other than that Hugh Jackman is really, really built. It takes place in Japan, and Silver Samurai is the main bad guy. Speaking of Mangold, if you haven’t seen his “Identity,” rent it. It’s an interesting twist on the traditional horror flick.
fascism |ˈfaSHˌizəm|(also Fascism ) noun an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.• (in general use) extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice. I really wanted to like “Dredd” a lot more than I actually did. This is an odd because I am extremely fond of the character, though I think that I understand what my problem was. It’s that there was virutally no one to root […]
For my money, Alfonso Cuarón is one of the most talented film makers working today. His “Henry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban” is one of the strongest entries in the franchise, while “Children Of Men” is one of the few movies that is actually better than the book it is based upon (besides having […]
Guillermo Del Toro has to be a clone because, if there aren’t four or five of him, I don’t get how he can be so prolific. First, he was directing Peter Jackson’s upcoming “The Hobbit,” but left that production when it got caught up in MGM’s flirtation with bankruptcy. From there he went on to […]
I downloaded iOS 6 for my iPad 2 a few hours ago, and am in the process of doing the same for my iPad touch (Yeah, I am just a bit invested in the Apple ecosystem, known to some as a “walled garden”). One of the first things that I noticed was that, at least […]
Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph” took a while, but it’s finally growing on me. I like it even more since I learned that John C. Reilly, as opposed to Seth Rogen, (who happens to sound quite a bit like Reilly) is voicing the character. Though truth be told, I would prefer John C. McGinley even more (mainly because […]
