Futurama: 1999

I like all things “Space: 1999,” which is why when I saw this ship from the “Futurama” movie “Bender’s Game” I had to post it. That grey spacecraft is an Eagle, the ubiquitous transport craft from the groundbreaking Gerry Anderson series.

Super Bowl XLVI Movie Trailers

With companies–literally–spending millions of dollars for a 30-second spot during the Super Bowl, some may wonder what they’re spending the money on. That answer is: viewers. Despite huge costs to advertise during the game, Super Bowl XLV in 2011 brought in 111 million viewers. That’s a huge amount of eyes glued to the screen, which […]

Groupon Movie Deal

Groupon has a deal for AMC Theaters that I would be amiss if I didn’t pass on.  The deal, for either two or four AMC Silver Experience movie tickets is valid for any AMC Theater, though tickets for 3D presentations will have an additional cost. If you’re like me you take a deal whenever you […]

Accordimg to Deadline, in the CW’s “Arrow,” based upon Green Arrow, an emerald-costumed archer from DC Comics, the title character is being played by Stephen Amell.   I recall him from “Screamers: The Hunting,” and hope that he brings more to the role than than what he exhibited in that film, which was a woodenness that […]

Stretch Armstong Out At Universal

I don’t know Taylor Lautner, and while I don’t think too much of some of the roles he has chosen up to this point, I get the feeling that he knows a train wreck when he sees one (despite the appearance that, because of lackluster box office for Lautner’s “Abduction,” that this project fell apart […]

My Zombie Survival Scenario

As a fan of “The Walking Dead” and other things of a horrific nature (I am also fond of HP Lovecraft and his Cthulhu Mythos, though truth be told I prefer the writing of August Derleth, who unlike HP Lovecraft treated humans as if they were actually more than a food source) I sometimes wonder […]
