I hadn’t seen Victor Salva‘s Jeepers Creepers II in a while so I recently rewatched it. And it’s better than I remembered. Jeepers Creepers II takes place after the original 2001 film with a new story that reveals more information about The Creeper and by my reckoning is one of the best sequels ever made, […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gina Cerano is suing Disney because she was fired from The Mandalorian in 2021. And it’s a lawsuit she’s likely to lose because as I understand it actors are At Will Employees, which is to say they can be fired for virtually any reason at all (and while an employer […]
I have never really liked Constantine (2005) because Keanu Reeves was not only wrong for the role physically (he looks nothing like John Constantine as typically depicted, but in making the character American as opposed to British the filmmakers changed characteristics that were essential to his nature –being British, like any other group of people […]
I watched Zach Snyder’s Rebel Moon a week or so ago and…it was watchable but to be fair that’s a fairly low bar. A better question would perhaps be ‘Is it any good?’ And the answer is ‘No, it is not. Not really.’ Zach Snyder isn’t much of writer and while he didn’t tackle Rebel Moon […]
Let’s be clear, I’m looking forward to catching Zach Snyder’s Rebel Moon and am jazzed to learn that it’s premiering a day earlier – the 21st instead of the 22nd – though I’m not expecting much because it’s based on an idea created by Snyder himself. Though let’s back up for a moment. What was […]
I just watched François Ozon’s Summer of 85 and for the most part enjoyed it, except for two things. The first was when Alexis Robin (Félix Lefebvre) and Kate (Philippine Velge) visited the body of David Gorman (Benjamin Voisin) at the morgue. Here’s where the movie veered dangerously close to slapstick with a really odd […]
You can probably guess from the title of this article that I don’t think Saturn 3 is a great movie though what I find most interesting is that you can see the potential for greatness all over it. As I mention in the video, the original director, John Barry, left the production after only two […]
Ridley Scott has one of the most distinctive eyes – figuratively speaking – in movies in that if you see one of his films and can pick up on his particular visual tendencies/quirks, you’ll recognize anything else he does. And Prometheus (2012) is no different because it’s a beautiful movie that looks much more expensive […]
Halloween II, directed by Rick Rosenthal is in it’s way fascinating because how it came together is more interesting than the movie itself. John Carpenter, the director of Halloween, didn’t want to revisit Haddonfield, instead wanting to direct a sequel revolving around entirely different characters, though holding in common Halloween and the potential horrors it […]
Today I learned from The Hollywood Reporter that Warner Bros is offering a 25 pictures Sci-Fi and Horror movie bundle. It contains movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Gravity (2013), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), It (2017), among many others though what’s worth mentioning is that no matter your preferred application, you’ll likely […]
