Recently quite a few venues are running with the idea that the Russo brothers (Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the upcoming Captain America: Civil War) are going to have 67 characters in their upcoming two-parter. Avengers: Infinity War. This is, on the face of it, nonsensical because last time I checked Marvel Studios haven’t even introduced […]
The full trailer for Batman v Superman dropped last night, and I get a very Transformers-like vibe from it (as in huge special effects in service of a pretty simple story. And speaking of story, doesn’t this trailer seem to give away a lot of stuff that they maybe shouldn’t have?), which isn’t necessarily a good thing […]
A lot of people are jazzed about Star Wars: The Force Awakens (illustrated by millions in advance ticket sales), Suicide Squad or maybe Superman v. Batman: Dawn of Justice and I understand the enthusiasm. I really do, but for me, the trailer for the must see movie for 2016 dropped late yesterday, and that’s Captain America: Civil War. […]
Despite being an avid comic reader, prior to Netflix’s Jessica Jones I barely knew anything about the character. I still don’t but I like the way–if the teasers are any indication–where it’s going. Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a political thriller, Guardians Of The Galaxy was Marvel’s interpretation of a space opera. Daredevil (Netflix’s version) […]
Sometimes the best strategy is to let the movie do the talking.
I admit, after learning that Marvel Studios isn’t coming to Comic-Con this year, that I was a mite concerned (though Marvel Television and Cartoons are attending) because that meant that DC Entertainment would dominate the convention with news and clips from Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (still hate that title) and Suicide Squad. Though based […]
Having just seen Avengers: Age of Ultron–review coming soon–can we just accept one thing: Namely that there is no way on Earth that Batman can take Captain America? Unlike what some people may believe… And while not having seen Zach Snyder’s interpretation of the iconic superhero, there’s virtually no way that he’s in Captain America’s league. […]
I like this trailer. Every since Marathon Man and Three Days of the Condor I have been a fan of the conspiracy thriller, though not any conspiracy thriller. I like those best that have a relatively ordinary person caught in circumstances that spiral way, way beyond their control. And sometimes an even not-quite-so ordinary (Captain America: The […]
Scott Derrickson’s Deliver Us From Evil definitely looks like a movie to watch for. Lately everything seems so massive that every once in awhile I really welcome something on a smaller scale (though not too small. Oculus was entertaining, but almost intimate. And don’t get me wrong, I am not critizing spectacle, after all it’s a golden […]
Have you ever dealt with someone who was so set in their ways that they ignored any common sense response to their predicament? That’s what i feel about what’s going on with Warner Bros. scheduling their upcoming “Superman Vs. Batman” against the currently untitled Captain America 3. Disney had originally had that space staked out […]
