The first thing that Disney’s “John Carter” has to do–attract enough viewers to justify its $200 million dollar price tag–is what it probably will have the most trouble doing, which is to appeal to the greatest amount of individuals as possible. This problem came into rather sharp focus when I was watching “The Dark Crystal” […]
Congratulations to Martin Scorsese, and the crew that put together “Hugo,” which has won ‘Best Art Direction,’ ‘Best Sound Editing,’ ‘Best Sound Mixing,’ and Best Visual Effects.’
Sony’s upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man’s” main baddie is The Lizard, who was never one of my favorite villains in the Spider-man canon (I have never really thought why, though it probably has something to do with him being little more than The Hulk, with scales). If the film makers weren’t going to go with Mysterio, […]
Those of you that read Robert Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead,” know who ‘The Governor’ is (and I don’t mean Arnold Schwarzenegger), and with the Third season of the zombie series he will be played by David Morrissey. He’s the second British actor in the cast, the first being Andrew Lincoln, who plays Sheriff Rick Grimes.
Here’s the latest trailer for Jonathan Liebesman‘s “Wrath of the Titans,” though his record (as far as I am concerned) is a bit spotty. “Darkness Falls” was a good idea hidden in a mediocre film, and “Battle: Los Angeles” was OK, but didn’t show us anything new. The ‘Wrath’ trailers look interesting, but that’s what trailers […]
“Brave” is the latest film from Pixar, and shows why their work is acknowledged as some of the best computer animation in the business. Take a look at the scene, now notice that I am not even talking about the story, which seems very character-driven, where Merida shoots her third arrow. It actually appears to […]
According to Vulture, Frank Darabont’s “L.A. Noir” has cast Milo Ventimiglia as the lead. That being said, they still want Jon Bernthal for another role, which isn’t great news for “The Walking Dead” because Frank Darabont is known to really like working with Bernthal.
Edgar Wright, whose last film, “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World,” underwhelmed at the box office, will be directing “The Night Stalker,” with Johnny Depp playing the role of Carl Kolchak (a role originally made famous by Darren McGavin). This is great news, because Wright is an excellent director, though it makes me wonder what’s happening […]
You know there’s going to be a Tron 3, right? Sure, there’s been no official announcement (yet), but the signs are there, the tea leaves have been read, and the entrails have been interpreted. Correctly, I assume. Until that news comes, here’s a little news on “Tron: Uprising,” the new Grid-based series from Disney XD, […]
Bill Maher, currently on HBO with “Real Time,” isn’t a man that minces words. He’s irreligious, profane, and more than a little bit opinionated, which is why I watch him whenever the opportunity arises. He tends toward liberalism, with a strong grasp of current events, which makes debates with him really interesting to watch. His […]
