Daniel Espinosa’s Life is a curious movie, an anomaly, in fact. It’s probably one of the first movies I can recall enjoying while watching, yet really disliked when it ended. In my review I describe it as “C-Grade Movie with A-List Actors, Direction and Production Design” because that’s how it feels. Life takes a lot […]
Michael Bay’s 6 Underground isn’t a good movie, though it is interesting, with some great human and car-based stunts. It’s also really expensive–and looks it–coming in around $150 million according to Screenrant. And I believe it, between the stunts and the locations, this movie oozes money. My question is why couldn’t a little more of […]
Michael Bay isn’t what I call a subtle director, and nothing about the ‘Visit Italy’ trailer for his upcoming 6 Underground indicates that that’s a mistaken impression. And that’s the problem because–at least for me–Bay being Bay isn’t terribly interesting. What is is that he’s working with Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick (Zombieland, Deadpool, Deadpool 2) […]
Few things are better–whether animated or live action–than a good anthology series and while I don’t know if Love, Death + Robots will rank among the best, if the trailer is any indication, it’s off to a good start. And the pedigree behind this new upcoming Netflix series is beyond impressive. It comes from the […]
While I’d rather see Guillermo Del Toro finish his Hellboy Trilogy–Hellboy, Hellboy: The Golden Army and….–that’s no longer in the cards. The reboot is being directed by Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday) and stars David Harbor (Stranger Things, Suicide Squad) as Hellboy. The trailer looks okay, except for some of the CGI, which […]
What’s the point of Once Upon A Deadpool, or as I like to call it, Deadpool 2-lite? A cynical money grab by Fox to see if they could milk more dinero from a movie already released–and gone–from theaters? A ploy by Disney–who gained the rights to Deadpool and all the characters that comprise the […]
Let’s start by being honest: I can’t stand what Fox is doing with the X-Men just as much as I can’t stand when Sony–when left to their own devices–tends to end up doing with Spider-Man. Which is ruining them. And before you bring up Deadpool, that movie was an aberration and something that if the […]
Twentieth Century Fox’s Logan is indicative of their problems managing their X-Men franchise. Supposedly it’s going to be R-rated, not because Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is a mutant who’s primarily features are a healing factor, Adamantium-coated claws and a bestial nature to match, but because Deadpool had an R- rating, and it gave Fox almost […]
Apparently executives at Warner Bros/DC Films don’t understand that people don’t want murky, unheroic super beings–be they heroes or in this instance, villains. I mention it because reviews have begun to come in for David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, and they’re not…very…good. To be fair, they’re mixed so some that aren’t as bad, such as (on […]
Deadpool was never one of my favorite characters. Something about him being created by Rob Liefeld–who somehow managed to do very well for himself as a comic book artist despite having a really, really bad understanding of human anatomy. And that’s not hyperbole because it feels to me like he’s never seen a bodily structure […]
