The British trailer for Christopher Nolan‘s Interstellar was posted by Warner Bros a few hours ago, and it’s…OK. It seems that at some point in an indeterminate future we lose the ability to feed ourselves (despite the huge cornfields in the trailer) though luckily Matthew McConaughey is around to pilot a mission to find other habitable worlds. […]
Zach Snyder released this black & white image of Batman (Ben Affleck) today on Twitter. It’s from the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman. And it looks OK, and while I wish that Snyder had taken the photo less to depict a mood than to actually show us Batman and the Batmobile. That being said, I am […]
Ridley Scott, even when his films are sort of silly, like “Legend,” look absolutely remarkable. He has an eye that manages to catch the smallest details, but his ear for nonsensical story beats is not quite so acute. For instance, while “Prometheus” was gorgeous to look at, but if you give it any sort of consideration, […]
Have you ever seen a movie, like “Prometheus,” for instance, in which you were blown away when you first saw it in the theaters, only to see it again and wonder what the whole point was? In this edition of ‘Postmortem’ I take another look at “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” a movie that I […]
This post is entirely speculation, though it is based upon logic as well as current news. Notice that in the title of this article I sad “could” as opposed to “would” because the last I heard was that Del Toro was busy working on Legendary Pictures’ upcoming fright-feature “Crimson Peak,” as well as executive producing […]
The teaser (I still can’t quite get over the idea that studios are actually making teasers for trailers. It wasn’t that long ago that trailers were teasers for movies, but I digress) for Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” has arrived, and it’s full of wonder. And corn. That being said, you can see Nolan is trying to […]
Over the years, there have quite a few Batmobiles, with the vehicle changing whenever a new director helmed the franchise. For instance, here’s the Batmobile that appeared in the Tim Burton film. The next version is Joel Schumacher’s. It’s a bit garish though there’s no denying that it’s a dynamic-looking vehicle. Schumacher, if I recall, […]
Marvel Studios is on a roll. Earlier this year “Iron Man 3” earned $1.2 billion worldwide, while the year before that “The Avengers” earned over $1.5 billion. Even with characters that aren’t necessarily as popular, like Thor and Captain America, Marvel is making a mint. In fact, they are so confident about their prospects that […]
That was quick. Thanks to Rafael Dominguez Estrada, who found this on Youtube, despite me having looked for it earlier. The trailer in and of itself looks OK, but the major league actors (Samuel Jackson and Gary Oldman) that look to be playing somewhat “minor” roles reminds me of Christopher Nolan’s casting of Michael Caine […]
Warner Bros. has revealed that they are going ahead with a Superman & Batman feature, though my question is: How could anybody be surprised by this? At this point DC has only two “viable” characters – as in, almost guaranteed to make a profit – and that’s Superman (as “Man of Steel” has shown”) and […]
