For awhile now, I have been been carping on how ‘John Carter’ is due to be a box office dud. After all, it earned just over $30 million last weekend, getting it’s arse handed to it by a Lorax. Now, here’s the reason for a reluctant mea culpa: Foreign box office receipts, which did […]
What is it about taking away, as opposed to adding, features to a person’s face that makes it look so creepy? A new movie from Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, the director of “28 Weeks Later” looks like it’s going to answer that question, while also seeking the answer to what really scares us.
Ever wonder what a trailer that crossed “Wall-E” with “Prometheus” would look like? I haven’t either, though now that I have seen it, it’s pretty awesome.
Don’t you hate when, after seemingly never-ending warnings that if you did or said a certain thing, that you would come to no good end, happened to be right? So, you not only have yourself eye-deep into a situation that’s unhealthy in the truest sense of the word, but you could have avoided the whole […]
“Paranorman” looks like a lot of fun. If I wasn’t already convinced that I wanted to see the movie, the dial tone scene toward the end really sold it for me. There’s also the title, which is really, really cool.
According to Deadline, Netflix is considering bringing back “Terra Nova,” the time travel series recently cancelled by Fox. My problem with this idea is that “Terra Nova” wasn’t that entertaining to begin with, and extremely expensive to produce, so I am a bit dubious about this one. Besides, any television series that can have time […]
If you have ever imagined Mike Mignola’s Hellboy crossed with a robot, then Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener’s “Atomic Robo” is the comic for you. It’s drawn in a manner that reminds me of Mignola’s art work crossed with that of “Jackie Chan Adventures.” The writing is also very good, which is important because otherwise […]
I am posting this because I have never seen “7 Minutes in Heaven” before, and wanted as wide as possible an audience to see it, and Paul Rudd has to be one the boldest (and most secure) actors that I have seen in quite awhile. Posted with vodpod
James Wan‘s “Insidious” earned almost $100 million worldwide, while Oren Peli‘s Paranormal Activity films combined earned almost $600 million dollars. Big deal, you might say–and it is–till you realize that “Insidious” cost only $1.5 million to make, while the Paranormal Activity films COMBINED cost just over $8 million. That’s a lot of return for minimal […]
Here’s the new Barry Sonnenfeld‘s “Men In Black 3” trailer, which I hope is better than MIIB (“Men In Black 2”). That being said, for some strange reason what I want to see most from this film is Josh Brolin channeling Tommy Lee Jones, who also stars in the film.
