Typically when horror-maestro Guillermo Del Toro creates something I am one of the first to acknowledge the sheer awesomeness of his work because few directors, in my experience, have such an eye for the small details that make a movie, be it science fiction, horror, or whatever, particularly memorable. His most recent project, a videogame that […]
Some Memories, And Coma Patients, Are Best Left Alone Mark Hartley‘s Patrick, is currently on Netflix, and is surprisingly a engaging little horror film (before it jumps the rails, that is). I was expecting something silly, on the level of an Asylum feature, it was actually pretty engaging, before the aforementioned rail jumping. Charles Dance brought a much needed […]
In September of last year I wrote of how Pacific Rim Will Spawn A Sequel. One of the reasons that I said that this was the case was because Guillermo Del Toro said at the time that he was writing it with Travis Beacham, who wrote the original with Del Toro. Yesterday ScreenRant mentioned that Del […]
Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla Isn’t The Same Monster Many Of Us Grew Up Watching, Which Sometimes Isn’t A Good Thing In The Beginning… I remember when I was growing that I spent many Saturday afternoons in front of a television, watching monsters like Gamera, Mothra and Godzilla. They tended to have come into being due to the hubris of Man, as […]
Guillermo Del Toro is, it goes without saying, one of my favorite directors working today. His work is always interesting, even if doesn’t make billions of dollars. He’s been working with Legendary Pictures since “Pacific Rim,” which did OK at the boxoffice. I haven’t heard anything about a sequel, though he’s currently working on “Crimson […]
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 […]
Happy Holidays! I hope everyone has enjoyed the holiday, hopefully with those that care for, and vice versa. It goes without saying that the course that Bryan Singer charted with the 2006 film, “Superman Returns” was an unsustainable one. It cost $270 million to produce and earned $391 million in worldwide box office receipts. Box […]
I don’t see how I missed this one. The last film Vincenzo Natali released was “Splice,” which was executive produced by Guillermo Del Toro. It’s a fascinating film, even though you could see that the director didn’t quite make the point that he was working at. His film before Splice was “Cypher,” and while it’s […]
Guillermo Del Toro, who most recently directed “Pacific Rim” is back in the directors chair with the opening to “The Simpsons Treehouse of Terror XXIV.” Along with nods to his own movies, he gives props to classic monsters like Frankenstein and the Invisible Man. Blade also makes an appearance, which is awesome because Marvel, which […]
Peter Jackson’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ films are very curious to me. They’re epic, beautifully made films, but they also seem to proclaim that epicness from the highest peak. There’s no surprise to them – whether or not you have read any of the books they’re based upon – because you can tell where they’re […]
