I was trying to think of a wicked cool title to give to this article…but I just couldn’t think of one. Someone put together a pretty cool fake trailer for what an Avengers flick from the 1950’s would look like. It actually works a lot better if you don’t know where all the footage comes […]
Man, I love the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels. In case you don’t remember, my love for Scott Pilgrim is so strong that I attended a midnight release party for the sixth and final book, Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour. The series is funny, heartwarming, and full of awesome action and video game references. Well, now we […]
I’ve been a Sylvester Stallone fan my entire life. Just something about the guy and his rise to fame I find inspiring. I remember the bad Stallone years, right after Get Carter. That film flopped and no one liked it (I did), but then it was followed by either limited release movies or straight-to-DVD fare…not […]
Last Friday night, a buddy of mine and I decided to finally have the horror movie marathon we’ve been talking about for months now…a Freakin’ Fulci Friday Film Fest! What did Freakin’ Fulci Friday Film Fest entail? 3 Lucio Fulci Films – City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, and House by the Cemetary Italian […]
I really dislike Will Ferrell. I mean, sure, I like Old School just like every other dude, but I don’t think I’ve outright enjoyed any film since then where he was the lead (or one of the leads). Maybe it was because I wasn’t too familiar with him when Old School came out, and I […]
Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future is a 1987-88 sci-fi/action television series that ran for 22 episodes in Canadian/American syndication. A toy line was also produced by Mattel, and during each episode there was a segment that included visual and audio material which interacted with the toys. Christmas of 1987 was ALL ABOUT […]
I remember, after seeing the trailer for Dinner for Schmucks, thinking “Christ on a bike, who the hell would want to see that movie?” before realizing that my buddy sitting next to me was excited about it. Begrudgingly, I agreed to see it with him, because he’s that movie buddy that will typically go see […]
It is so unfair that while I was at work today, Twitter was all a-buzz with comments about the new Thor trailer which hit the interwebs overnight. Of course, everything cool is blocked at the office. I just got to watch and… Oh. My. God. Od’s Blood, it looks amazing. Plus, the Destroyer. I mean, […]
Dinner theaters are tricky to pull off. There’s simply not one that’s going to please everyone. Hardcore moviegoers get annoyed at being interrupted during the movie with servers bringing food and drink. Casual moviegoers are turned off at the expense of the typically overpriced food. Not only that, dinner theaters are hard to maintain – […]
It’s not easy to make a good superhero movie. It’s really difficult to get the nuances that will please comic book fans, while still pleasing a general audience. While the DC Animated movies do still try to appeal to a general audience, the focus is definitely on pleasing that core comic book fanbase. With films […]
