Before Bungie became part of Microsoft, they produced games like 1994’s Marathon. It revolves around a spaceship, the Marathon, that’s invaded by aliens. You’re part of the crew, tasked with the job of defending the ship so that the AI’s (artificial intelligences) that control it can marshal the ship’s defenses. I assumed that the game […]
Help me understand something: On one hand you have Paul Verhoeven, the director of “Robocop,” “Hollow Man,” “Total Recall,” “Starship Troopers,” and others. Each of those films, filled to the brim with gory, sexy, subversive goodness that not too many current films even attempt to approach, never mind equal. So, considering all the really bad […]
Here’s the latest trailer for Disney’s “John Carter.” I have also included a link to some commentary from Vulture, where they ask the same question that I asked early today, which essentially is: How is Disney going to make this film profitable when they aren’t all that sure how to market it in the first […]
According to the folks and Spiderman.ru and Collider.com, the image to your left is The Lizard, from the upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man.” I tend to believe that it’s accurate because of this. I am not too sure how I feel about it, mainly because he looks too ‘human,’ though it’s hard to tell his size […]
Here’s some new photos from “John Carter,” based upon Edgar Rice Burroughs’s “John Carter: Warlord of Mars” novels. I don’t know about this movie. I haven’t read the novels it’s based upon, but to me it lacks the spectacle that something that costs in the neighborhood of $250 million should. That’s a lot of cabbage […]
I admit that when I first heard about the general disdain thrown the way of the ‘Twilight’ films, I joined right in despite never having seen any of them. In my defense, can you blame me? Sparkly vampires? Reproducing (as in sexually) vampires? I DON’T THINK SO. I grew up on films like “Fright Night,” […]
I don’t tend to lean toward the wonky side of tech issues, but when I learned about HBO Go and Max Go, I felt a comment was necessary. What HBO Go and Max Go are are ways to watch both HBO and Cinemax content on mobile devices. Which is a really good idea, though the […]
And it only took somewhere in the ballpark of four hours; though people who changed their passwords as a result of the outage may encounter a few minor problems with finding the correct one.
And I don’t mean “down” in the sense of something that’s cool, or rocks. Instead, I mean it in the way that something isn’t working, that should. I am hoping that the damage is limited to me–though I doubt it–because I am not sure how much more negative publicity Netflix, and their stock price, can […]
Christopher Nolan, director of the upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises” and Tom Hardy, who plays Bane, discuss the character, his fighting style, and motivations. Thanks to Deadline for the head’s up!
