For quite a while now I was wondering what was going on with “Space: 2099,” the reboot of Gerry Anderson’s “Space: 1999,” because I haven’t heard any news on that front for four or five months. I was worried that it suffered the fate of the UFO reboot, which appears to be caught somewhere in […]
And since Guillermo Del Toro is never far from my thoughts (and I don’t mean in a gay way–not that there’s anything wrong with that) here’s the trailer for his latest production, “Mama,” written and directed by Andy Muschietti, based upon his short film. And speaking of Muschietti’s original short, I found and embedded it […]
When I heard that Edgar Wright revealed a test footage for his upcoming Marvel Studios film, “Ant-Man”, I was jazzed. And the Internet, being what it is, made me reasonably sure that someone in attendance at the last Comic-Con would have filmed it despite being told not to (under penalty of being banned from future […]
Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” is being post-converted to 3D, which is interesting when you consider how terrible such conversions tend to be. Remember “Wrath Of The Titans?” If there’s another film that was converted to 3D to such seemingly universal disdain, I am unaware of it. That being said tickets for 3D films tend […]
“Seven Psychopaths” stars Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Tom Waits, Woody Harrelson, and Christopher Walken. It was directed by Martin McDonagh, who also did “In Bruges,” which I have heard is a very entertaining, though I have yet to see it. Though not billed as such, “Seven Psychopaths” feels to me like a must-see film, bordering on […]
It goes without saying that if you’re into Apple at all, this Wednesday will be of interest to you. The rumor mill has it that Apple is not only going to introduce a refreshed iPod touch, but a new iPhone and more interestingly (at least for me) a new iPad that’s supposedly designed to compete […]
If you’ve caught Seasons One and Two of Channel 4 raunchy teen comedy, “The Inbetweeners” and can’t wait till they get Season Three, look no further. I originally checked out Channel 4’s web site, but for whatever reason it’s not available there due to some technical issues (I don’t know if they’re due to me […]
The small, almost micro-budgeted, film, when successful, can bring new creativity (and profits) to the box office. For instance, the whole found-footage trend came into its own with the three “Paranomal Activity” films, which combined cost just over $8 million to produce and earned almost $600 million worldwide. That being said, there are times when […]
Remember when Marvel’s ‘Phase 2’ slate of films were announced? They consisted of: “Ant-Man,” “Thor 2: The Dark World,” “Iron Man 3,” Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Guardians Of The Galaxy,” and it goes without saying, Avengers 2. Notice who’s not on the list: Dr. Strange, which is odd considering that Kevin Feige, the head […]
The ‘JD’ in the title is for John Dorian, from 2001’s “Scrubs,” a television show that originally aired on NBC for nine years, before it moved to ABC. I am watching the Democratic Convention, though earlier I was thinking about the trend toward remakes. There’s the upcoming “Red Dawn” remake, that appears to have The […]
