I had fairly high hopes for John Woo’s Silent Night, though it never managed to rise above being a movie based on a gimmick (a modern movie – almost – entirely without dialog). The idea is interesting though the way the movie goes about doing it is really odd in that Brian Godlock (Joel Kinnaman) […]
To be sure, most high-concept crossovers are fairly stupid – all one has to do is recall when in 1994 Marvel’s Punisher visited Archie Comics’ Riverdale – but despite the appearance of crossing streams, there’s a bizarre logic to it in that Archie is the polar opposite of the Punisher, which makes at the very […]
I have to admit that I was a little hesitant about 3 Body Problem because I wasn’t a fan of Game of Thrones and both series were created by D.B. Weiss and David Benioff, so despite the latter being a fantasy series and the former science fiction, I had my doubts. I need not have […]
The trailer for Fede Alvarez’s ‘Alien: Romulus’ is finally here, though if you’ve been looking for it prior on YouTube I can understand your skepticism since trailers for the movie have been turning up for the better part of a year. Though I assure you, this is the real thing though don’t take my word […]
Earlier today a trailer dropped for Zach Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver and it pissed me off a bit. Reason being Zach Snyder is at best a mediocre director; all flash and very little substance and that he’s received millions to make mediocre movies means that someone – or perhaps a lot […]
I have not been too enthusiastic about what I have seen of the recent crop of horror movies adapted from characters recently introduced in the public domain, like Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse because (particularly in the case of the former) they seem to forget why people loved them in the first place. Now, […]
I’m paraphrasing an article from The Wrap where the writer talks about the purchase of ‘collectables,’ which in this instance happens to hold popcorn. What. Is. Wrong. With. People!? I ask because why is anyone overpaying for essentially a tin that is VERY likely to be worth less than the popcorn that fills it and […]
Jared Leto posted an image from the upcoming Tron 3 or TR3N (a weird jumble of letters and a ‘3’ though unlike M3GAN it at least makes sense in that it’s the third Tron movie) on Instagram and apparently the movie carries over the design esthetic from Tron: Legacy (2010) That’s good and bad because […]
When I first heard that James Wan was developing a series based on Robert McCammon’s excellent novel,Stinger, I had mixed feelings. The novel revolves around an alien (the language of the creature isn’t directly translatable to any human language so the closest we can get to what the creature is is ‘Stinger of the House […]
Apparently there’s a new version of Stephen King’s Salems’s Lot, and according to King it’s quite good though for whatever reason Warner Bros. has not released it (in theaters or streaming). Now I can see why Stephen King is concerned, after all it’s not beyond reason to think that maybe the series/movie will not be […]
