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 don’t know of a single movie watcher who doesn’t think that Christopher Nolan is a talented director. I, personally, think of Christopher Nolan as a more tech-savvy Michael Mann. I could imagine Nolan directing a film like Heat, were it to somehow involve some kind of sci-fi element. He’s one of my favorite modern […]
I’ve never read Eric Powell’s The Goon, but it sure does seem like it would be up my alley. Especially now that I’ve seen this trailer. Wow, this looks pretty damn awesome! Movie Trailers – Movies Blog Does anybody out there read The Goon? Any good?
Every time I think of ALF, the furry little bastard who took the world by storm back in the last 80’s, I think of the Ben Stiller movie Permanent Midnight, about television writer Jerry Stahl, who was on drugs while working on the show. Weird movie. Anyway, this week for Good Old Days, at the […]
So the big news all over the web is that Ed Norton, who starred as Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk, will no longer be playing the Hulk. First, Marvel said it wasn’t a monetary decision, but instead because Norton wasn’t someone who “embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members.” […]
