Why ‘Pacific Rim’ Will Spawn A Sequel

I should mention that I have said the same thing about “Tron: Legacy,” and while there appears to be minimal movement on that front, all signs seem to indicate that it is happening. Guillmero Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim,” which cost somewhere between $180-200 million to produce, and earned just over $407 million worldwide – most […]

‘Pacific Rim’ Effects Video

The visuals of this clip are provided by Mirada Studios, about the making of the prologue from Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim.  Those effects are pretty impressive, though what seems to be lost amongst all that visual wizardry is the music behind the trailer, which is provided by Ramin Djawadi (pronounced Java-dee). The track is […]

‘Pacific Rim’ No. 1 Internationally Last Weekend

I am not yet ready to serve the naysayers that implied that “Pacific Rim” would be a flop a juicy slice of humble pie, though I am warming up the oven. Guillermo Del Toro’s love letter to Saturday afternoon monster features finished first in 50 territories, and hasn’t yet been released in China, Brazil, Spain and […]

‘Pacific Rim’ Review

‘Gravity’ Teaser Trailer

I have been waiting for Alfonso Cuarón‘s “Gravity” for awhile, and it’s getting closer. In my mind Cuarón is in the same class as Guillermo Del Toro, which is another way of saying that if either of them comes out with a film, go see it. Besides, his last film, “Children Of Men” was not […]

New ‘Pacific Rim’ Trailer

I assume that this footage for Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” is from the last Comic-con.  It shows the most detail of the robots yet, as well as a bit of character development. And I can’t see why Michael Bay would ever be worried by ‘Rim,’ after all, if the trailers are to be believed, […]

‘Why Guillermo Del Toro Is Awesome’ Or ‘There There Will Probably Be An ‘At The Mountains Of Madness’ Feature

Guillermo Del Toro rocks.  Why, you ask? Sure, it has more than a little to do with him being the director of “Hellboy,” “Hellboy 2,” “Blade 2,” The Devil’s Backbone,” Pan’s Labyrinth, among others. It also has to do with tenaciousness, and following your dreams, no matter how bleak things may seem (it also never […]
