As Above, So Below, let’s be clear, isn’t a particularly good movie, but it is a damned entertaining one. The story, such as it is, revolves around Scarlett (Perdida Weeks), who’s searching for the clues that would lead her to the Philosopher’s Stone, which I should mention that her father was also searching for, before he hung himself.

When The Game Stands Tall Is An Enjoyable Movie, Despite Its Manipulativeness Have you ever watched something, be it a movie or TV show, and knew you were being manipulated? And I don’t necessarily mean that in a bad way. All media—including news, much to my dismay—is designed to elicit a reaction from the persons […]
For the one or two of you that have seen James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy, this is the scene at the end (not the ‘button,’ or ‘stinger,’ only a tool would spoil that), and part of the reason why this is, so far, quite the most innovative Marvel movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). […]
A few months ago I misread that prospects of Disney’s Maleficent, so I have been a bit leery about trying to predict the success of films that I don’t care for (in other words, just because I don’t think much of Angelina Jolie as an actress doesn’t mean that the films she stars in will necessarily […]
Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy opened in the United States last week, and looks to have a very bright future, seeing that based on advanced buzz along, Marvel has already locked in a sequel for 2017 while Thursday it earned $11.2 million, besting established franchises like The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Transformers: Age of Extinction and […]
It’s That’s Good. You’re Welcome. Let’s be clear about something: James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy should not have worked, at least as well as Gunn (who co-wrote the screenplay with Nicole Perlman and directed) and Marvel Studios obviously think (and it’s clear that they are optimistic because based on early reviews a sequel as already been […]
There may be more Guardians of the Galaxy trailers coming, but seeing that the movie is coming out in a bit less than two weeks, this is the last one (unless a new one has something more interesting to reveal) that I intend to post. The reason being, as far as I am concerned they’re […]
In the TV Spot No. 17, from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy you see a bit more of Groot and his relationship to Rocket. Though what interested me most about the trailer is the way Rocket speaks. He says: “Yes, you did, I just saw you do-ing it. Why you ly-ing.” And he sounds awfully ethnic, in fact, Hispanic. Since […]
Wha!? “You have no idea what you’re talking about,” you’re probably saying to yourself. The Dark Knight Rises earned over a billion dollars! Man of Steel took in almost $669 million! What do you mean Green Lantern, which earned almost $220 million on a $200 million budget” Ok, if you’re thinking short-term, then The Dark […]
With Marvel Studios’ Guardians Of The Galaxy coming August 1st, there’s a lot of speculation as to what other characters they will bring to the big screen. That combined with Marvel being interested in working with Aaron Eckhart on an unnamed project, I wonder if it’s a relaunch of the Punisher. It’s important to notice that […]
