I really wanted to enjoy Toby Meakins’ Choose or Die. After all, I tend to like ‘ghost in the machine’-type horror (which is what I call movies where machines – computers in particular – interact with ghosts, spirits, demons and whatnot) and a cursed video game is definitely in that ballpark. So, I went into […]
The teaser trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home dropped yesterday and it’s pretty good though I wonder if I would feel the same about if it weren’t for Tom Holland, who’s pretty charismatic, and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) who’s the most interesting character in the trailer (which is notable because while I enjoyed his 2016 […]
I really enjoyed The Wretched mainly because it’s evocative of movies produced in the early to mid-eighties by directors like Steven Spielberg and Tom Holland, which is to say it’s a true horror film, but it’s also a pretty charming one. It’s also not a mean-spirited despite the subject matter – a witch preys (literally, […]
Brett Pierce and Drew Pierce have brought us a horror movie that – if the trailer’s any indicator – that looks like a modern reinterpretation of Tom Holland’s Fright Night. And that’s a good thing because as anyone who’s seen the latter can tell you, it’s an awesome movie and has aged pretty well – […]
Netflix’s Outer Banks is a new YA (young adult) series that–as I mention in my review–plays like an above average episode of Scooby Doo. And that’s okay because I enjoyed that cartoon though I’m not accustomed to seeing it seemingly treated in Riverdale fashion (though it’s oddly more faithful). And while I don’t necessarily think […]
You know the feeling you get when you think a movie’s likely to be a blatant money grab? Let’s just say my radar went off when watching the trailer for Lars Klevberg’s Child’s Play. Klevberg’s filmography is relatively brief–I’ve seen posters of Polaroid in movie theaters, but have no idea when the movie will actually […]
Netflix’s Sex Education is off to a great start. It possesses is a quality that many American series’ don’t, namely despite having a shorter amount of episodes–a season consists of eight episodes, as opposed to thirteen– the character development is not only particularly strong, but you’re always left wanting more. This is opposite many American […]
Before I begin I should mention that I intend to stop posting teaser trailers (unaccompanied by a full trailer) because the former tends to give so little in the way of information that’s it’s almost pointless. This way at you get the teaser AND the full trailer at the same time, which as far as I […]
A teaser trailer for Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Homecoming was released today, and having seen it I almost wish they hadn’t. First off, it has a very found footage type of feel (which is to say a bit cheap). Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, it ends with Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Tom Holland) exclaiming, “This is the coolest thing […]
I can’t wait to see Spider-Man: Homecoming, partially because Tom Holland gave a winning, enthusiastic performance in Captain America: Civil War, but also because the movie is being produced by Marvel Studios along with Sony Pictures, which at least holds out the hope that he will be treated more faithfully than has recently been in […]
