It needs to be said that I have never been a huge fan of DC Comics. Despite enjoying the adventures of Green Lantern and Batman when I was younger, I always preferred Marvel overall. That being said, I don’t want their films to fail because if enough superhero films fail, it threatens all superhero films […]
Excuse me for a moment. That’s better. Now that I found a little release, I can ask the question I find myself asking way more often that I would like lately, which is: Why in (insert perferred deity here) name are they remaking David Cronenberg’s “Videodrome?” Cronenberg himself attempted, not nearly as successfully, to revisit […]
What happened to Tony Scott was tragic, though suicide generally is. Whatever one may think about the act, whether or not it’s right, wrong or whatever, concerns me less than the blatantly lurid tendencies that seem to emerge when such things happen to famous people (the non-famous don’t seem to attract as much attention, for […]
This is an interesting bit of news. According to Vulture, by way of Superherohype, there’s talk of a reboot of Dave Stevens’ ‘Rocketeer,’ which I think is a really cool idea. The original film, directed by Joe Johnston, most recently of “Captain America,” didn’t do too well at the box office, earning almost $47 million […]
I spent all last Thursday as an extra on Netflix’s upcoming series, House of Cards (an Americanized version of a British series), and had a great time. Prior to “House of Cards,” I worked as a policeman on “The Dark Knight Rises” (TDKR). You would think, since TDKR had a massive budget compared to “House of […]
I know it’s a bit early, but mark in your calendars that the sequel to Marvel’s “The Avengers”–currently known as The Avengers 2–will be released May 1, 2015. And in other Marvel-related news, according to Superherohype James Gunn is the front runner to direct “Guardians Of The Galaxy.” I am not quite sure that I […]
I am not the hugest gamer out there, but those that involve elements of fear and paranoia have always been of interest to me. So, it goes without saying, that I have “Dead Space” on both of my iOS devices. I like the look and feel of the game, though I have not worked out […]
Been a slow news day, though I stumbled upon something interesting at SuperHeroHype. According to Joe Carnahan, Fox’s upcoming “Daredevil” reboot is dead on arrival. This isn’t surprising, if it happens to be the case, because the only way that Fox could reboot the franchise would be for them to turn over the rights to […]
“The most fun you will ever have watching a baby getting socked in the face.” Jay Roach’s “The Campaign” is really funny, but it’s also two different movies. The first is hilarious, and deals with Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), who appears to live virtually every stereotype that accompanies being queer, and yet he (somehow) manages […]
There’s a sneak preview being offered by Washington Post Live of Focus Features “ParaNorman” (and with a title like that, how could you not be interested?) for Wednesday, August 15. Sign up as soon as you can and arrive early because these things tend to fill up quick.
