The Spierig Brothers’ Winchester is a fascinating movie that somehow manages to take the genuinely uncanny life of Sarah Winchester (the wife of William Winchester and heir to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company) and make it boring. It’s surprising because even a cursory examination of her life shows how fascinating it is. As I mentioned, […]
A few hours ago Matt Reeves, director of the upcoming The Batman, dropped some images of the Batmobile. So, let’s take a closer look… The silhouette is pretty interesting though those massive fender flares aren’t doing it any favors. As you can likely tell, it’s probably based on a Dodge Challenger. That being said, the […]
I went into Richard Stanley’s (Dust Devil, Hardware) Color Out Of Space excited but cautious because as someone who’s read the work of H.P. Lovecraft since his early teens my expectations were (perhaps unreasonably) high. Then again, if you’re at all familiar with Stanley’s firing from The Island Of Doctor Moreau–to be replaced by John […]
The trailer for Disney’s Artemis Fowl–based on the Young Adult novels by Eoin Colfer–dropped a few hours hours ago…and it’s a mess. For a start, it’s nothing that we haven’t seen before. Now, there’s little new under the sun, so it’s in the way that you arrange those familiar elements that matter most and this […]
The second season of Netflix’s Altered Carbon dropped Friday of last week and had quite a hurdle to clear. First, it had to make the replacement of Joel Kinneman seem natural (which is hard to do when you take into account that his replacement is Anthony Mackie, an African-American) then they had to make the […]
When I started watching Netflix’s I Am Not Okay With This I hadn’t read anything about it prior, so it was a pleasant surprise. If I’m going to watch a comedy I tend to prefer extremes in that it’s either insanely stupid, like The Three Stooges, or bizarre, like Top Secret. Though combine horror with […]
The trailer for Nia DaCosta’s reboot/remake/continuation of the Candyman Trilogy dropped earlier today, and it’s pretty good. Candyman was always an odd fit amongst horror movies in that it was more erudite than the genre tends to produce. And what I mention in my reaction video, namely that I’m not entirely sure what this movie […]
