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 was recently on Quora and was a part of a discussion about The Flash, which someone thought was ‘awesome.’ The problem was the I’ve also seen the movie and while it had its moments, by no means deserved such praise. And I get it. Everyone has their own opinion but objectively speaking? Not so […]
The more I watch Mark Romanek‘s video for David Bowie’s Jump They Say the more I think he – or a director with a similar visual esthetic – should have directed Dune because there’s something really interesting going on with that video, a subtle unease and weirdness that the most recent reboot could have used. […]
Recently I watched Denis Villeneuve’s Dune and visually speaking it’s a feast for the eyes and ears (I’ve never been particularly enamored of the work of Hans Zimmer, but he does some really interesting things here). Villeneuve acquits himself admirably exactly for the reason I originally thought he wouldn’t, namely he knows how to compose […]
I’m still waiting for evidence Warner Bros’ dual release strategy was a successful one because if one were to judge by the returns for Tenet (which might have had something to do with Christopher Nolan releasing his next movie via Universal), Wonder Woman 1984 (which supposedly had a budget around $200 million, yet earned almost […]
If you’re someone that likes Marvel movies you’re probably seen or read something that tries to paint Eternals as a disappointment, financially speaking, which is nonsense. I assume that this is because Eternals has just scratched it’s way to $400 million worldwide, which for a Marvel movie is, let’s be honest, a bit underwhelming though […]
I enjoyed the second trailer for Lana Wachowski’s The Matrix Revolutions, though despite my curiosity, I have no intention of seeing it in theaters. That’s because I abhor Warner Bros’ dual release strategy – releasing movies in theaters at the same time they premiere on HBOMax, the streaming platform owned by Warner Media (the parent […]
I find most everything about Zach Snyder’s Justice League frustrating – never mind the trailer being black and white – and to be honest, a little off-putting. First, there’s no such thing as “Zach Snyder’s Justice League” because that’s like saying “Joss Whedon’s Avengers” or “The Russo Brothers’ Civil War.” It places a director above […]
I have to admit that I was less interested in House at the End of the Street as a movie than because it was directed by Mark Tonderai, who last I heard was interested in tackling the reboot of Marvel Studios’ Blade. Though let’s look at the movie anyway. House at the End of the […]
I recently rewatched David Lynch’s Dune because Denis Villeneuve’s reboot is coming soon and I wanted to refresh my mind about what came before as well as to see if I still thought that a reboot was a good idea. As far as the latter goes, I definitely think it isn’t though more on that […]
