André Øvredal is the director of movies like The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2010) and Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark (2019) and while I think Autopsy is a creepier movie that Scary Stories, both are pretty enjoyable in their own right. Now the Norwegian director appears to be taking on superheroes with Mortal. […]
The less said aboutthe particulars of Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War the better but know it rewards fans over casual viewers. That’s not to say that if you haven’t seen all 18 of the prior MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) movies you won’t enjoy it, though if you haven’t seen any Infinity War isn’t a great […]
According to Bleeding Cool, X-Men: Dark Phoenix will be the last X-Men movie released by Fox because it’s believed that Disney would have completed their purchase of the studio by that time (and it goes without saying that Kevin Feige is just itching to get his hands on characters like the X-Men and the Fantastic […]
I caught Star Wars: The Last Jedi last weekend and have no idea what all the hullabaloo is about (by which I mean I understand many of the complaints, though they’re not terribly persuasive when looked at in context). It’s a decent movie though as far as I can tell all the rancor revolving around […]
I think it’s very, very likely. Reason being, Thor earned just $449 million in 2011. It’s sequel, Thor: The Dark World, earned almost $645 million in 2013. Notice the upward trajectory? And do you know what those prior movies didn’t have? A Hulk! So, while Thor: Ragnarok has yet to released in North America it’s already […]
I have to admit that I enjoyed the first trailer for Zach Snyder’s Justice League. but if I say I weren’t concerned I’d be lying. Reason being, he had two chances to make movies based on Batman and Superman. The first attempt, Man of Steel is enjoyed by many, but in its way is as […]
It goes without saying that the internet has been beneficial to humanity. It possesses a democratizing effect in that no matter or how little money or resources at your command, you potentially have the same access to information that a person with significantly greater resources has. But like any benison, there’s a dark side. The […]
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 […]
If you’ve seen videos of cosplay or the various ‘Cons’ the first thing you notice is that they feature all sorts of quirky, colorful (and often brilliant) costumes, which is why it’s understandable if you thought that that was what comic geek culture was all about (besides costumes and the–virtual–worship of certain movies and comic characters). […]
Kevin Feige, you cheeky bastard. It appears that you pulled a fast one. When the trailer for The Avengers: Age Of Ultron was leaked prior to it appearing on Marvel’s Agent’s Of S.H.I.E.L.D. I assumed that that was the end of this story. Sure, Marvel Studios handed things pretty gracefully, but I thought it was […]
