I have to admit that I didn’t expect this trailer to drop quite so soon (especially since my last post was for the movie poster). So here’s the trailer, and what’s interesting is that we get a lot of Javier Bardem and no Johnny Depp at all. Is that an artistic choice? Could it have […]
Disney released a teaser poster for the latest movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise: Dead Men Tell No Tales. This leads me to a confession: I haven’t watched ANY of the Pirates movies to completion. They’re big, sprawling examples of modern filmmaking, and they just don’t work for me. And I not sure why. Maybe […]
While growing up, while I was aware of Napoleon Solo (otherwise known as The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) and Illya Kuryakin (originally played by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum in the television series), though I didn’t watch it, being instead a huge fan of The Avengers and Department S. There’s already been a remake of The Avengers, […]
Maybe it’s just me, but I am getting the feeling that Johnny Depp is coasting just a little bit. I laughed when I saw the trailer the the upcoming Mortdecai–he’s pretty amusing–but you’ve also seen variations of this schtick from him before (particularly in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise) and I just wish he’d do […]
When I saw this trailer, I wasn’t terrible impressed. That being said, Meryl Streep is part of the cast, and she’s awesome. I want to say that this movie isn’t going to do all that well, except that I said the same thing about another Disney film, Maleficent, which I got pretty wrong. So while I […]
I heard about the making of this movie awhile ago, though I only recently learned about the trailer. Johnny Depp is playing some type of scientist (I think he’s working with artificial intelligence, though the trailer didn’t specify) whom ends up having his consciousness transferred into a computer. This happens because of an assassination attempt […]
Henry Cavil seems like a very charismatic actor, but is he mighty enough to carry a franchise? I am deliberately not including the Superman reboot, “Man of Steel” – you don’t carry films with Superman, Batman or Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr. may be the exception), they carry you – but because Cavil is in […]
I am not sure how I feel about the second trailer for Gore Verbinski’s “The Lone Ranger.” I dig the trippy visuals in the opening, though the height of the platform (how did Johnny Depp get him up there any way, with a crane?) looks like it was done just to put our hero (Arnie […]
I have to admit, this trailer kicks all sort of arse. Sure, the movie may be the cat’s balls, but this…Trailer…Rocks. I actually want to see this movie now. I feel good enough about what I have seen so far (though admittedly the Double Take Amber Ale I just consumed may be tinting my processes just […]
Anyone ever wonder why the The Lone Ranger, was called The Lone Ranger, despite the almost constant presence of Tonto, his American Indian companion? Yeah, that was always strange to me, too. I should also admit that I have never been a huge fan of the character, though I do recall watching when I was […]
