“The Wraith” is a film that’s interesting in that it not only should be remade, but almost requires it. That being said, I don’t only want to point out what makes it such a mediocre movie – it’s too easy – but offer some advice which could improve it. Mike Marvin’s film, sadly, smothers a […]
This ‘Host’ has nothing to do with the (more than likely) far superior movie by Korean director Bong Joon-ho. Instead it comes to us courtesy of Stephenie Meyer, the writer of the ‘Twilight’ books. I am assuming that these aliens work by possessing an individual, if the trailer is any indicator.
Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games,” is making box office history, with the fifth best opening ever. Worldwide receipts have reached $214 million, on a budget of $78 million. This is what happens with you take a popular book–one aimed primarily at teenage readers–with a smart (and relatively inexpensive) advertising campaign by Lionsgate. Hopefully Disney and other […]
Marvel’s Angel, is probably one of the most underrated superheroes there are (of course, I am not referring to Archangel. That guy is absolutely lethal) besides DC’s Aquaman–who’s really lame, by the way. His only ability is that of flight–which was probably obvious, considering those huge wings. Flight is a weak ability, till you consider […]
“Cosmopolis” has everything that a moviegoer could want. There’s Robert Patterson, for the ‘Twilight’ contingent, and David Cronenberg, perhaps the premiere director of the weird and bizarre. And this film definitely seems to fit that bill, seeing that it revolves around a billionaire (Patterson) who is searching for a haircut, and the twisted things that […]
Here’s the red band trailer for “Piranha 3DD,” from The Weinstein Company, which also released the Academy Award winning film, “The Artist.” And while “Piranha 3DD” will probably win few Oscars, it has assets that its more renown brethren lacks. It’s also not safe for viewing at work. That is, unless you happen to have […]
I have tickets for “Mirror, Mirror” this Saturday, though if I had a choice, I would’ve chosen “Snow White And The Huntsman.” It seems to take itself seriously, and appears somewhat dark, as opposed to the aforementioned film.
When I was growing up, I was a big listener of radio shows, like “The CBS Radio Mystery Theater” (hosted first by E.G. Marshall, followed by Tammy Grimes), “The Mysterious Traveler,” “The Green Hornet,” “Inner Sanctum,” and “Chondu, The Magician.” A show that I didn’t listen to much was “Mandrake The Magician,” though it appears […]
Disney is going to take a $200 million dollar write-off on “John Carter.” The worse thing is that it shouldn’t have happened, because after an initial stumble (the first half hour or so), the film was actually pretty enjoyable. I don’t know who’s responsible (other than Andrew Stanton, who’s fingerprints are to be found on […]
According to Deadline, the image to the left is the “Arrow,”(above) from the upcoming CW series. I could just be a bit off-base, but I was expecting a new interpretation of DC’s Green Arrow (below). Instead, it looks like they’re sticking to, essentially, the same costume as the character wore on “Smallville. Which makes me […]
