The first Star Wars movie debuted when I was in my senior year of high school. I remember sitting in the first row of the theater, completely mesmerized, and I think I saw it five times in the next three weeks. There hadn’t been anything like it before. I was already a sci fi fan, […]
Kill Me Three Times, the latest film to star Simon Pegg, is billed as a “darkly comedic thriller,” but that description, like almost all of the characters in this film, doesn’t quite tell the truth. What it is is a circular, 1970s-flair “why dun it” (since we pretty much know who), with beautiful Western Australian scenery […]
I’m fascinated by post-apocalyptic stories – the conflict that changed the world is rarely as interesting to me as how humans react to it, and how they survive (and face, it there’s no story if humans don’t survive). From I Am Legend and The Passage, to the Hunger Games series and now the Divergent books, […]
Be kind and have courage. That’s all it takes to succeed in the Disney world, and Disney itself succeeds with this live action version of their 1950 animated film Cinderella. True to the original story, Cinderella is the fairy tale (for those of you who have lived deprived lives) of the beautiful orphan girl, subjected […]
“Wake up. No one will outshine my daughters.” Evil stepmother bragging? Or is it possible that this Disney stepchild – the live-action version of the studio’s iconic animated film – will outshine the original? Coming to theatres this Friday, the film stars Lily James as the put-upon orphan beauty Ella, and Richard Madden as her […]
CHAPPiE is a film that is directed by Neil Blomkamp and is actually based on a short film he created, titled Tetra Vaal. CHAPPiE stars Yolandi Visser and Watkin Judor Jones from the South African rap group Die Antwoord. However, there is a cast full of well-known celebrities in this film. This includes Hugh Jackman, […]
Depending on how you’re counting, Disney has just dropped either the first or second Tomorrowland trailer. The first trailer, which you can find here, while technically a teaser, clocked in at only 22 seconds shorter than this one. So you’ll find this one listed as either the first full trailer or, as Disney themselves have […]
I wonder about all those nervous ninnies out there who freak out when a movie doesn’t destroy the box office opening weekend. I’m sure their methods for predicting earnings after opening weekend is spot on after hundreds of films over decades of research, but maybe their approach to building new franchises should change. Too Big […]
The year was 1982 when children learned to be scared of the white noise on their TV, and the phrase They’re Here would forever be used to scare the shit out of your kids. Now fast forward to 2015 and another remake of a classic arrives. Remakes seem to be the hot thing for directors […]
This little promo is more a parody of Super Bowl ads than an outright promotion for the upcoming Minions movie, set for a July 10, 2015 release date. If you like the Minions and you like silliness, you ought to love this spot. Over the past few months there have been a handful of other […]
