Rememeber the idea behind 1993’s “Jurassic Park?’ The film, based upon a novel by Michael Crichton, directed by Steven Spielberg, revolves around an island where dinosaurs are brought back to life from the DNA of mosquitoes caught in amber. Our technology hasn’t quite advanced that far, though we’re getting close, yet I am willing to […]
This movie has a title, like “John Dies At The End,” that pretty much tells you what’s going to happen at some point in the movie. That being said, I think that I care just a bit more as to why John dies as opposed to what some man is doing on a ledge. Though […]
Just wanted to remind everyone that Starz content on Netflix will vanish after Tuesday of next week, which means that movies like “Breaking Away,” “Tron: Legacy,” and “Silver Streak,” to name a few, will not longer be available. Despite this fact, it appears that the subscriber flight over the Quikster debacle, as well as the […]
Tasmanian Tigers (which are not related to cats, and are actually marsupials, like kangaroos) are believed to have gone extinct in 1936, though there are some that believe that they still exist in the wilds of Tasmania. It strikes me as fascinating that it could possibly be alive today, which is why I am surprised […]
What I often hear from people who enjoy the films under the Marvel Studios banner–”Iron Man,” “Thor,” “The Incredible Hulk” and the upcoming “Avengers,” among others–is: Why it is that characters like Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, or the X-Men are being done by Sony and Twentieth Century Fox–who have shown a tendency to frak them up–instead […]
Don Coscarelli has never been what one would call a prolific director (his last film was 2002’s “Bubba Ho-Tep,” though he directed the “Masters of Horror” episode, “Incident On and Off A Mountain Road” in 2005) but he’s at least an interesting one. His films tend to be a bit uneven, but strange enough to […]
There’s a rumor that Jon Bernthal, who plays Shane Walsh on AMC’s zombie series, is leaving the show soon. Not unusual on the face of it, people leave television shows all the time, even successful ones. But when the show he’s supposedly to be going to, L.A. Noir, is being developed by…wait for it….Frank Darabont, […]
It appears that The Weinstein Co. and Relativity Pictures have settled a lawsuit over the reboot of Alex Proyas’s 1994 film, “The Crow,” and both instead intend to work on the film. The question I have is why, since the various sequels (“The Crow: City of Angels,” “The Crow: Salvation,” and “The Crow: Wicked Prayer,” […]
I have heard of “Star Wars Uncut: Director’s Cut,” but before watching most of it I had no idea how remarkable a project it is. Started by Casey Pugh in 2009, it is a complete version of “Star Wars: A New Hope,” but made up of a few hundred 15-second increments by different individuals, that, […]
According to Deadline, Red Tails is doing great business, though the article makes sure to include caveats about why that will possibly not be the case for too much longer (it’s strongly implied that because it appeals primarily to African-American audiences that it will not be able to maintain box office strength). This is an […]
