According to Fusible.com, the title of the upcoming Transformers film will be some variation of “Transformers: Last Stand,” “Transformers: Future Cast,” or “Transformers: Apocalpypse.” They base their information upon domain registrations, which has proven accurate in reference to the last film, “Transformers: Dark Of The Moon.” That being said, no matter how interesting the title […]
My fellow bloggers over at Durnmoose Movie Musings beat me to the punch (Damn having to work at work!) with the latest “Pacific Rim” trailer. And while I know that it’s just a trailer, it already has more plot that all the Transformers films combined (I am only half joking).
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, […]
I have noticed that I have been using Michael Bay as a benchmark of sorts, which in a roundabout way is complementary toward his particular skill set. For instance, I created a phenomenon called “the Michael Bay Exception” which encapsulates his tendency to worship at the altar of spectacle, while things like plot and story […]
Just when you thought that we survived “Olympus Has Fallen,” here comes the more obviously titled “White House Down.” This time instead of Gerard Butler, all we have is Channing Tatum standing between us and those that would destroy our way of life. God help the terrorists, especially considering that this is from Roland Emmerich, […]
The trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” has finally arrived, and it’s too cool for school. It reminds me a bit of Michael Bay’s ‘Transformers’ films, except that it doesn’t suck, you care about the characters–which I can even tell from the trailer, amazingly enough–and has some awesome robots. I like two things in […]
Michael Bay is rebooting the Transformers franchise, with Mark Wahlberg replacing Shia LaBeouf, though I am not entirely sure the casting change will make a whit of difference. That’s a pity because, if another director were to take the helm, it’s quite possible that we would get something new and engaging this time around. And […]
Earlier today, Patty Jenkins was confirmed as the director of Thor 2, which is really interesting because, no matter if you prefer DC Comics’ characters, like Superman or Batman, you’ve got to give Marvel credit for making bold choices, particularly when it comes to directors. Which doesn’t change that the reason for their choice is […]
Edited 7/26 729 Guillermo Del Toro, unable to get his version of H.P. Lovecraft’s “At The Mountains Of Madness” off the ground, was originally slated to direct “The Hobbit,” with Peter Jackson producing. Because of financial problems at MGM (the studio that would have released it) he left “The Hobbit,” and moved on moved on […]
It’s no surprise to anyone that “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” dominated the weekend box office, though how overwhelming it was may have been. It pulled in $210 million overseas, and $162 million domestically, for a total of $372 million dollars. Now keep in mind that the film cost almost $200 million to produce, and […]
