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 […]
I understand why some fans of characters like the Fantastic Four, Wolverine, Spider-Man and The Avengers want to see all their favorite heroes on the screen at the same time. Imagine the Avengers..avenging, when Spider-Man swings by or the X-Men encountering Iron man or Captain America? It’s not impossible, though it is very unlikely because […]
If you needed another reason to love Marvel Studios–besides their awesome movies–it’s probably because they’re best at translating their characters to the screen, which is why when I heard that they were preparing to launch four new series exclusively for Netflix a few months ago, I was so happy that you’d think that I was […]
This new trailer for James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy popped up on the Interwebs yesterday, and it significantly expands the scale of the universe–literally and figuratively–that the Guardians call their sandbox. It seems a conventional summer blockbuster in many ways. And in other ways, not so much. Something important about is is that–if Marvel Studios current […]
According to Variety, Scott Derrickson is directing Doctor Strange for Marvel Studios! This is an awesome choice because, judging by some of the films that he has directed, like Sinister, Hellraiser: Inferno and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, to name a few, show that he has a grasp of the strange and unusual. A quality that’s a […]
Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past (review coming soon) just crossed the $500 million dollar barrier, making it the highest grossing of the X-Men films (the link contains spoilers. If you have not seen the movie, ignore it). And my response is: So what. What people seem to be missing is that 20th Century Fox is mismanaging […]
Welcome To The Rumor Mill, where I occasionally take a closer look at a rumor winding its way through the Interwebs to see if there’s any fire to accompany all the smoke. A few days ago, I wrote a piece, Is Sony Mismanaging The Spider-Man Franchise, as part of the My Two Cents column. In that particular article I […]
And I am OK with that because their service is so reasonably priced in the first place. It normally costs $7.99 and is going up a dollar, though the increase applies only to new users, while current users are ‘grandfathered’ in at the current rate for two more years. Sounds good to me, and not only because […]
I like the work of Scott Derrickson (and I hope that he’s being considered for Marvel Studios upcoming Doctor Strange feature, along with Don Coscarelli). Heck, I even like his remake of “The Day The Earth Stood Still,” if only because he was able to find a role for Keanu Reeves that made that actor’s wooden […]
I don’t know who Antonio and Andrea Toscano are, though I do know a labor of love when I see one, and their Lego version of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is just that. All the iconic moments from the trailer are there, lovingly reinterpreted in Legos. By way of comparison, here’s the original trailer.
