Daredevil (2015) Ep. 1: Into The Ring

“An Auspicious Beginning For Marvel’s Un-Caped Crusader.” When I was growing up, comics not only taught me how to read, but they inspired me to action; I remember vividly running about New York City, trekking through Central Park like Cortez or exploring abandoned buildings with my not-so-super friends. And I would read–though perhaps devour is a […]

The Avengers: Age Of Ultron – TV Spot 2

I honestly think that this latest The Avengers: Age Of Ultron (wanted to type ‘Luton‘ for some reason) trailer is the most cohesive yet. Unlike past trailers each character gets an introduction, as well as a bit of the spotlight.  We see a bit more of Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and they look pretty awesome. […]

The Flash – ‘My Name Is…’ Trailer

I don’t know what it is about Warner Bros superheroes.  For some reason, if the movies are any indicator, Metropolis and Gotham City are where dreams and hope go to die.  Overall, everything is dark (more so, at least in a physical sense, in Gotham) and gloomy, as if the inhabitants carried invisible weights upon their shoulders.

‘Gotham’ Trailer

“Gotham” is a series about Gotham City before Batman, which reminds me:  Why would anyone care about Gotham City before Batman?  That’s not to imply that I am saying that a young Commissioner Gordon is by any means incompetent but you take away the Caped Crusader, you’re left with a procedural like “Law & Order,” […]

‘Don Jon’ Trailer 2

“Don Jon,” the directoral debut of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, turned up when I saw “Insidious, Chapter 2.”  It looks interesting, though what surprised me most was how buff Gordon-Levitt is looking, especially since at one point he was being considered for Batman (which eventually went to Ben Affleck). Though there’s always Doctor Strange…
