“Resolution Is The Best Mumblecore Horror Movie Ever Made” Resolution was the movie that introduced me to Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Spring), so to speak. I’ve re-watched it recently, and have been looking for a way to describe it as briefly as possible. And I think I have it: Resolution is the best mumblecore horror movie ever […]
Sun I’m on an email list from Deadline: Hollywood, so when I learned that Dominic Patton had reviewed the upcoming Netflix series, Sense8, from Larry and Lana Wachowski, I was immediatedly curious how he felt about it (especially coming off Jupiter Ascending). Wolfgang Patton really enjoyed it, which I have to admit surprised me; though what […]
I just finished watching Lluís Quilez’s Out Of The Dark, currently on Netlix, and it’s a bit middling, though hardly the worse movie I’ve seen. It revolves around a family who moves to Columbia, and are haunted by ghosts. Though not particularly effective, I found it interesting for another reason: The ghosts come about because the owner […]
When I saw the Daredevil hallway fight scene–from the Netflix series not the 2003 movie–I was amazed at how fluid the action was, though once I got over my shock, I realized that I have seen it, in a sense, before. Here’s the fight scene from Oldboy, which also takes place in a corridor. […]
At this point you’d probably think that I’ve had a enough of Marvel’s Daredevil after my marathon session ended sometime around midnight yesterday. Well, you’d be wrong! I’ve already started re-watching it, though this time I think I’l do so in a slightly more leisurely fashion, with an emphasis on tracking down any Easter eggs […]
“I’ve seen few movies start so promisingly and end up being so disappointing. Spoilers follow below, so if you haven’t seen it, head on over to Netflix.” Christopher Denham‘s Preservation is a bit of an odd bird. It’s essentially a survival horror movie, where three campers, Aaron Neary (Mike Staton), his wife Wit (Wrenn Schmidt) and brother […]
Luis de la Madrid‘s 2005 ghost story The Nun (La Monja) isn’t a terrible movie by any stretch, though that’s not to imply that it’s particularly good, because it isn’t. Though the greater crime is that there are stirrings of greatness not too far below the surface, which are never given a chance to bloom into horrific […]
I was reading Deadline: Hollywood earlier today when I noticed that Ruairi Robinson has landed a development deal based upon the video for his short, Leviathan. If you’ve been reading this blog, you’ll recall that I featured Robinson’s The Silent City, a few years ago. I’ve reposted it below. The thing is, Ruairi Robinson does great trailers, but […]
“”Animal” doesn’t break any new ground, but it is attractive to look at, and has some great pratical creature effects.” Anyone who’s read this blog knows that I don’t particularly enjoy features from The Asylum. For those unfamiliar with the company they produced movies like Sharknado, all those Mega Shark movies, as well as ZNation. My […]
When Jeph Loeb, head of Marvel Television, said that Marvel’s Daredevil would be a more street level interpretation of the character, he wasn’t kidding. The trailer looks gritty and nothing at all like Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. or Marvel’s Agent Carter. I think that it’s neat that so far every Marvel series each has its […]
