I’m not ashamed to say that I am a huge geek when it comes to Stephen King and have been since the third grade. So of course I was interested when I heard about this movie. Looks like it is a completely self-referential take on the horror genre with a bunch of nods to SK [...]
In my opinion, ‘Prometheus’ is just getting cooler and cooler the more I see. I’m still hoping that with what has been released over the past few weeks, we will still have quite a lot of surprises still left in store. From what I’ve seen so far it looks like Ridley Scott has been able [...]
With The Avengers crushing the box office right now and The Dark Knight Rises looming like a juggernaut on the horizon, Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man is getting lost in the shuffle. This four minute preview–featuring one scene and all the previous trailer footage–aired last night during American Idol in an obvious attempt to build interest. To [...]
J.J. Abrams has his hands in another small screen sci-fi mystery with Revolution, a new series slated for the fall that he’s collaborated on with director Jon Favreau. The imagery has a Lost-like vibe and the overall feel is similar to TNT’s Falling Skies, sans aliens. The premise is that world loses electricty on a global scale, with [...]
American World Pictures releases the first trailer for Piranhaconda, starring Michael Madsen and written by…Michael Madsen?
A rag tag group of cops are hired to take out a gangster played by Sean Penn. With a great ensemble cast this looks like it might be fun. I must say though that I’m a little worried due to it’s director, Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, 30 Minutes or Less). It will be interesting to see [...]
We often forget how much what we read and see as a young child truly does have great significance in our lives. Some of it gets lost in the fog or slips within the cracks of our subconscious. And sometimes all it takes is to see an illustration or hear a title and all [...]
*NSFW* Sasha Baron Cohen has been known for years as an instigator. From his time on ‘Da Ali G Show’ and once he broke in America in ‘Borat’ he has raised quite a lot of hackles but also mad a lot of people laugh. It will be interesting to see how he does in a [...]
Sky High From 2005 comes a really fun and family friendly Superhero film about a school for superheroes. It’s pretty much Harry Potter meets the Incredibles. While this isn’t the greatest movie in the world, it really is an entertaining film that really has a lot of creativity in it. Oh and it’s pretty [...]
It’s hard to sum up what’s going on in this trailer for Beasts of the Southern Wild without sounding a bit daft, so I’ll let the images speak for themselves. First time director Zeitlin has seemingly made a powerful and original work, not something to sniff at in this age of adaptations, remakes and derivative ideas. How to [...]
Yes, it is here! The third trailer for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ gives a more epic view of what is coming for us in the last installment of Nolan’s trilogy. I think that they’ve dealt with the whole ‘I can’t understand Bane’ thing that all of the internet was complaining about. This is nothing more than [...]
Here are some of the DVD/Blu-Ray releases for the first week of May 2012!
A true oddity, Subwars is one of those short films that makes an impression while you are watching, but heck if you know what it was you just saw when it’s over. Delivered by director Seaon Soon of the Communication University of China, this tale of a mysterious old man going to insane lengths to [...]
Here’s another creeptastic indie film dealing with stalkers and psychological disruption. Although the genre has been glutted with them lately, this sort of twisty, over-heated thriller can work with the right people behind the camera. New directors Dallas Hallam and Patrick Horvath prove the sort who can pull it off, and when I saw [...]
It’s official. We’ve seen more than we neeed regarding Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. In a perfect world we would have gotten one vague trailer with the Alien lettering, maybe that poster wth the giant head, and no mumblings about whether this was or wasn’t a prequel to Scott’s original sci-fi classic. But if those other [...]
