Kevin Feige, you cheeky bastard. It appears that you pulled a fast one. When the trailer for The Avengers: Age Of Ultron was leaked prior to it appearing on Marvel’s Agent’s Of S.H.I.E.L.D. I assumed that that was the end of this story. Sure, Marvel Studios handed things pretty gracefully, but I thought it was […]
Alien: Isolation, if the trailer does the game any justice, is gorgeous. The original Alien, the movie that came out in 1979, directly inspired the videogame and was (and still is to many) considered to be one of the scariest movies ever made. The game play (as far as I can tell) as well as cinematics are directly […]
In Whedon We Trust. Somewhat sacrilegious, I must admit, but I had no choice. I was looking for a half-decent rendition of what a costume for someone that could run at super speeds would look like, and found the designs for the upcoming television series “The Flash” somewhat lackluster. Though even worse were the designs […]
And as you can see from this picture, “Meh” was being generous. This image is from Screen Crush, and as you can tell, it’s a picture of the new Flash costume, and it. Looks. Pretty. Bad. It also looks confining, when it should allow movement (I assume that the show’s producers will say that it’s […]
Unlike in the case of Bryan Singer‘s “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” as of this writing I haven’t seen anything from Joss Whedon‘s “The Avengers: Age of Ultron,” though it was made known that Paul Bettany (who voiced the Tony Stark’s AI, known as J.A.R.V.I.S) would be playing the synthizoid known as the Vision. For those […]
When Bryan Singer premiered “X-Men,” his movie based upon Marvel’s team of mutant superheroes, in 2000, there was a lot of controversy over the costumes. Instead of following the comics verbatim, they were made of leather (which was more than a little bit inspired by “The Matrix,” which came out a year earlier). It was […]
As a director, I get the feeling that Tim Story doesn’t get the credit that he deserves. The two Fantastic Four films were workable (he’s done other films, like “Barbershop” and “Taxi,” but I am more concerned with his fantastical fare. The reason why I will get to momentarily). In fact, that’s their greatest problem: […]
“Marvel’s “Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D” is an interesting way to immerse viewers in Marvel and, by extension, its Cinematic Universe.” I am watching Marvel’s “Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D,” airing on ABC in the United States, and I like the way that things seem to be proceeding. Marvel, unlike their Distinguished Competition, are embracing the variety – and […]
Aaron Taylor-Johnson probably has an awesome agent. I assume that his is the case because he’s starring in the upcoming “Kick-Ass 2,” a reboot of ‘Godzilla” and now it seems that he may be cast as ‘Quicksilver’ in the upcoming sequel to Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers.” Quicksilver is the guy to the right. Hopefully he […]
While I have to admit that I liked this trailer, what bothered me a bit was that it–the trailer–felt somehow familiar, as if I had seen it before. Seeing that I am too broke to have any connect to either Bad Robot (J.J. Abrams’ production company) or Paramount Pictures, I have no idea why. Then […]
