The Superman character has always struck me as a perfect romantic mixture of hope and tragedy, and while I love the Richard Donner films and a few key sequences in Superman Returns, the only Superman story that did that balance justice was Tom De Haven’s novel It’s Superman!, a work that looks to have inspired [...]
I’ll admit to being a little down on Star Trek Into Darkness lately, but the only reason for that is the constant speculation surrounding the film and director J J Abrams’ reluctance to give out any plot details or even reveal who the villain is. I find the whole “mystery box” schtick incredibly dull, and [...]
Jurassic Park was the first film I ever saw that wasn’t specifically meant for kids, and it is the film that established my love of movies and everything about them. I’m excited to see it get a re-release, even if it is in 3D. The film is set to return in April, 2013, just in [...]
Back in June Paramount pulled G.I. Joe: Retaliation off their summer schedule and moved it to next spring, supposedly for a 3D upgrade but most likely because of poor test screenings and a lack of Channing Tatum. The flick’s been retooled and spruced up, so now Paramount has to start promoting the movie all over [...]
Bruce Willis has had a good year with appearances in Moonrise Kingdom and Looper, two films that will most likely end up on my 2012 Top Ten list. With that in mind, I can’t begrudge him cashing a big check and headlining the fifth Die Hard entry. I’m not excited by this trailer, and I’ll [...]
A remake of Evil Dead was inevitable, but with Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell serving as producers and advisers this one has a fighting shot of being pretty good. Toss in a script that’s been punched up by Oscar winner Diablo Cody and now I’m plenty intrigued. That trailer seals the deal for me: this [...]
Iron Man is my least favorite Marvel franchise, but even I’m intrigued by that trailer. It helps knowing Shane Black is taking the directorial reigns from Jon Favreau for this entry in the Stark saga. Favs would make a great car commercial director, and the first Iron Man was basically a car commercial when you [...]
We’re just seven days from the release of Cloud Atlas, and the advance word on the picture is the best kind: extremely divisive. There are some who love it and some who hate it, and practically nothing in between. This is going to be a flick that inspires plenty of debate, and I can’t wait [...]
When the idea of remaking Carrie first rippled through Hollywood, many groaned and registered their disappointment. But with Kimberly Peirce at the helm and Chloe Grace Moretz in the title role, those dissenters are starting to get a little optimistic. Toss in the recent string of teen suicides due to bullying and thisĀ CarrieĀ has become downright [...]
Earlier this week we brought you the poster and some images from Hitchcock, the Anthony Hopkins starring flick that tells tale of the famed director producing Psycho. Now we’ve got a trailer for the film, and it’s completely turned me around on the film. I’m actively anticipating this one now rather than being mildly curious. [...]
