In case you didn’t notice, I spent quite a huge chunk of my weekend writing (what I hope is) a funny and suitably meta review for Deadpool, so it would make me really sad if you haven’t read it. And for those of you puppy-kickers who haven’t (please go read it… pretty pretty please), let me save you the effort: …
After we came down from the high of that first surprise trailer for 10 Cloverfield Lane hitting us out of nowhere, we quickly realized that (no surprise!) we actually knew very little about the JJ Abrams produced “blood relative” to 2008’s monsterapalooza Cloverfield. But during this weekend past’s Superbowl a new trailer was dropped and now… Well, actually we don’t know much …
I’m watching Gods of Egypt this Thursday coming and I cannot wait! I think. The reason for my confusion is that up until now I thought the upcoming Alex Proyas directed fantasy action adventure looked like a gold-plated pile of poop. I do so love terrible films for always inspiring me to new creative writing heights, and boy, it looked like this …
If you ever needed proof of how ridiculously stacked the 2016 movie release calendar is, think on this: Up until this new trailer for Disney’s big budget live-action adaptation of The Jungle Book dropped at yesterday’s Superbowl, I had nearly all but forgot that it was still coming out. And really I shouldn’t have forgot a damn thing about this …
From one big American pastime to another, we go from Superbowl to Independence Day as yesterday’s mammoth sporting event gave us a brand new look at Independence Day: Resurgence thanks to a new TV spot. And this new preview doubles down on both the US flag-waving patriotism and returning franchise director Roland Emmerich’s patented wide-screen big budget destruction porn and …
I have to admit, I didn’t hate the first (well, most recently first) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Sure Michelangelo looked like the illegitimate love child of Lou Ferrigno’s Hulk and Jacob Zuma, but there were some genuinely funny moments and some great martial arts fight choreography. Also – and this was the biggest plus for me – Shredder was …
Despite my overwhelming love for both X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past, I somehow haven’t got as excited as I probably should for X-Men: Apocalypse. Admittedly, this is mainly because I keep expecting Oscar Isaac’s take on the titular mutant villain to be closer to the one we got in the classic 90’s X-Men animated series, and …
Look, I could break out the thesaurus and come up stanzas and stanza of all sorts of flowery prose about this new Superbowl TV spot for Captain America: Civil War, but in this case I think some simplicity and brevity is called for: HOLY FREAKING SHIT!!! Check out the trailer below! I repeat: HOLY FREAKING SHIT!!! Captain America: Winter Soldiers‘ …
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
