For some reason Marvel Comics’ Punisher has been a difficult nut to crack–despite the fact that the character is essentially Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) from 1974’s Death Wish, a movie that went on to do pretty well at the box office. His first appearance was in New World Pictures 1984 movie The Punisher, and despite the criticism that surrounds that movie, […]
When we first meet Will Bowman (Josh Halloway) he’s preparing breakfast–or at least attempting to–for his family, that consists of his wife Katie (Sarah Wayne Callies, most recently of The Walking Dead) and three children, before he heads out to work. Though one of his sons is missing, and Will is doing all he can […]
Vertigo’s Hellraiser was a groundbreaker of sorts for DC Comics, which despite being adapted as a movie starring Keanu Reeves in 2005 and a television show in 2014 was never quite as successful as fans of the character would have wanted it to be.
“Superhero fatigue” seems all the rage among some, but it’s a dubious concept at best, and easily disproven. Reason being, if superhero fatigue were a thing, it would have been proceeded by ‘zombie fatigue.’ Look at the 2013’s World War Z, the Brad Pitt-starrer that was for awhile looking like the Fantastic Four of its time. […]
Ah, that’s the way they’re going to go! For awhile I was wondering how AMC brass were going to approach the upcoming AMC partner series to their critical and ratings darling, The Walking Dead. Now I get it. It seems that the upcoming spinoff will spend most of its time dealing with the beginning of the zombie threat, […]
A teaser trailer for Fear The Walking Dead, the companion series to AMC’s The Walking Dead, has turned up, and I am a bit concerned in that I have no idea what’s going to differentiate it from the series that spawned it. They appear to be going the route of using the trailers to individually introduce significant characters, […]
When Syfy premiered Z Nation a few months ago, the only thing that I was curious about was what took them so long. The Walking Dead has been breaking ratings records for AMC for years now, so that it took so long for someone to premiere another series that revolved around the undead was a […]
Community Season 1 Trailer Though that’s not to imply that I didn’t try. When there’s so much buzz around a show you think that if you don’t at least check it out, you’re be missing something. Which is a normal feeling. I honestly think that a lot of the reason behind the success of HBO’s Game Of Thrones and AMC’s […]
The first I heard of Ruairi Johnson was from the the short movie “The Silent City,” which was awhile ago. At the time I though that he had a very interesting vision, kind of dark (I don’t mind nihilism, though a little goes a long way) and atmospheric. I didn’t hear of any projects from his since, so I […]
“I Have Used 500 Words What Could Have Taken Significantly Less: “Wishmaster 3″ Is A Pretty Mediocre Movie.” Do you recall “Hellraiser: Revelations?” A movie that was little more than a cynical ploy by Dimension to keep the rights to the franchise by issuing a sub-par sequel? I wasn’t aware of this being done before, […]
