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 […]
I grew up on cartoons like Bugs Bunny, Johnny Quest and Woody Woodpecker, etc, which typically consisted less of thematic/moral lessons than various degrees of chaos. Davey and Goliath – which is animation, just with clay – and The Peanuts were notorious for looking at things from a thematic perspective though the thing is they […]
Sometimes you encounter a movie so bad that it somehow manages to come full circle and end up at least pretty fascinating, and Horrorvision is one of those movies. “Lesser” movies will rip off one or two much better movies, typically trying to come in under the radar. But not this one! Terrorvision “borrows” liberally […]
Luca Guadagnino’s remake of Dario Argento’s 1977 giallo Suspiria is a movie that can’t be accused of copying the original, because it’s way too ambitious for that. And the problem–you know it was coming–is that the original movie was relatively simple: namely a horror movie that revolved around a dance academy. Guadagnino doesn’t neglect that […]
Movies about AI going bonkers–like 2001: A Space Odyssey or 2018’s Tau–are hardly uncommon but AMI hits a little bit closer to home with a digital assistant that’s remarkably similar to Apple’s Siri. And speaking of digital assistants, check out Marti, an episode from the Netflix series Creeped Out. I suspect it’s a lot like […]
N. Night Shyamalan’s Glass isn’t a terrible movie, though it’s by no means what you’d call a ‘good’ one either. For a start, it’s boring, and I don’t mean in a 2001: A Space Odyssey or a Blade Runner kind of way–they at least rewards viewers for their patience–I mean in a slow, seemingly unending […]
I really like this trailer. When it begins, you could be excused for thinking that’s it’s a European remake of The Martian, but as the trailer goes on it seems to become something larger, and evokes a sense of the mystical more in common with 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Fountain more than it […]
“”The Revenant” is perhaps one of the most harrowing adventure movies that I have ever seen.”
The original 2001: A Space Odyssey trailer I am sure that you have known a person that was not nearly as clever as they thought they were. Such people tend to be a tad insufferable because they’re so convinced of the righteousness of whatever flag they happen to be flying that they don’t appear even cognizant that there […]
This is going to sound like sacrilege, but I have to say it: I never liked Roman Polanski’s “Rosemary’s Baby.” There, my secret is out. It’s treated like some sort of classic of slow-burn horror by most people who have seen it, but from what I could tell, it’s just slow. In some ways the […]
