When I first saw the trailer for “The Lorax,” during “Ghost Rider: Sprit of Vengeance,” a few days later I mentioned to a co-worker that I would not see the film because whenever I heard the character speak, I saw Danny DeVito, who voiced the character. Dr. Seuss’s creation appears to have made the transition […]
“2012: Zombie Apocalypse” is currently on Netflix, and it’s “Syfy Good.” By which I mean, for a Syfy Channel production, it’s pretty good. Now, if just about anyone else had produced it, it would be terrible. Keep in mind that this is the same outfit that produced films like “Almighty Thor,” (which attempted to cash […]
If anyone saw “18 Miles Out,” the episode of “The Walking Dead” that aired last Sunday, you would have thought that Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal) was already dead–and he would have been if not for an eleventh hour save by Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln)–but a new article on Vulture adds more fuel to the fire. […]
I just found “The Daly Show: Episode 7: “The Daly Superheroes”” via Superherohype, and it’s genuinely funny, though I have to admit that I was a little creeped out by not only how Tim Daly has aged, but how his son, Sam, from certain angles looks JUST like him. I am sensing either a Dorian […]
It seems that the Holy Grail for studios are to have superhero movies under development, though this is easier for some studios than others. Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, so they don’t have any problem. DC Comics is owned by Warner Bros., so they’re good. Though, there are many characters that don’t fall under […]
The trailer for Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers” is here, and it kicks all kind of arse. It looks remarkable, and just the thought of such iconic Marvel characters on screen at the same time is the stuff that fanboy dreams are made of. Which is why it’s somewhat ironic that the poster sucks so much […]
Nordling at Aint It Cool News says the latest trailer for “John Carter” is “…the best (official) one yet.” And I agree with him. It tells what the film is about, as well as the stakes, better than any of the trailers that came before. That being said, the problem is, when your film costs […]
Louie C.K. is a funny comedian. He has this self-depreciating manner that sometimes makes his (more often than not) bawdy material entertaining. That being said, his series, “Louie” is a bit of a downer. I have been watching it on Neflix, and the first five or six episodes started promisingly, but a very moralistic tone […]
Here’s the second, and probably final, post about what ‘John Carter’ needs to succeed, and is unfortunately it’s not something that Disney can do anything about at this point. If they want this film to be successful, they should have called it almost anything but “John Carter.” Now, keep in mind, this movie is based […]
Quite possibly the greatest movie in the history of films.
