And it’s on Hulu, where it will join the upcoming Predator prequel Prey (though considering in Predator lore the creatures have visited the Earth throughout history it’s sounds like less a prequel/sequel than just a story of a particular encounter with the alien hunters). By my reckoning the greatest problem with the Alien movies thus […]
If you’ve never seen a martial arts movie – or anything starring either Arnold Schwarzenegger or Danny Glover – Jiu Jitsu might blow your mind. If you have – and that likely includes most of us – you’re assured to be unimpressed because Jiu Jitsu is too derivative of much better movies like Predator (1987), […]
I don’t quite know what an “Exclusive Official Trailer” is though I have to admit that I really want to see Jiu Jitsu because – while it doesn’t look particularly good – it does look damn interesting. It’s very much Predator (1987), combined with Mortal Kombat (1995) with a smidge of (the extremely underrated) Without […]
I don’t think Jeff Fowler’s Sonic The Hedgehog is by most metrics a “good” movie in that the story is relatively simplistic, yet at the same time not terribly well told though it’s watchable for reasons I don’t think the people that produced it intended. I originally had no intention of seeing this movie, which […]
Last weekend I caught the reboot of Halloween, and it was an enjoyable–though by no means perfect–horror movie. What makes it work so well is a trait I last mentioned in reference to Shane Black’s The Predator (which that movie lacked) namely it’s relatively simple (in terms of it’s plot). Michael Myers escapes from where […]
And speaking of Avatar, guess which studio released it? If your guess is ‘20th Century Fox,’ now picture one studio releasing Avatar, the Alien and Predator movies, Star Wars and Marvel superhero movies. Those are a few of the movies that would come under the aegis of a combined Disney and Fox, which would likely […]
Anyone who thinks being an actor is all glamor and copious consumption–which isn’t to say that that isn’t there, but that’s hardly the case for everyone that makes the movies many of us love–needs to spend some time with the actors that bring characters like the Predator and Pred-Alien to life. As evidence, take a […]
Bob Woodruff, Jr. and Alec Gillis of studioADI, the practical special effects house behind a lot of your favorite movies, including the Predator and Alien films, as well as the upcoming Kickstarter-funded practical horror film, Harbinger Down) are two men that clearly enjoy their work. You can see the devotion and craftsmanship that their effects shop brings to […]
The trailer for Dark Space actually looks pretty good, especially for an independent film (made without the backing of a major studio). There’s a dash of Predator here, a hint of Outland there, and a whole lot of Pitch Black, that really works. That being said, if I could mention one thing to the producers: If you’re looking to […]
Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff, of Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI) aren’t names that most people are familiar with, though if you have seen Alien, Predator, The Thing (2011), Monster Squad, Mortal Combat, The Fly, The Fly II among many, many others, then you are more familiar with their work than you think. Despite such a pedigree, the film industry have […]
