I stumbled on this movie trailer on themovieblog but by the time I loaded the page the video had already been removed, but found another floating on the web. So far this movie reeks of Michael Bay. Shiny stuff all over the place just begging for an explosion to come and make things complete. I kid, but it really does look cinematic and stylistic in a way that I’ve only seen Michael Bay ...

I may not show it much, but I was very very disappointed when Sam Raimi backed out of the proposed Spider-man 4. I don’t want to beat a dead horse too much, but Spider-man 3 was… a disappointment critically, but very very successful commercially. I wasn’t too fond of some of the ideas proposed for the 4th film that made their way online, but some were really good. Anne ... Read More!
I finally started watching some of the DC Showcase shorts that have been included with their recent DVD feature film releases. This particular short is actually a bit longer than the typical showcase’s of the past that were about 10-13 mins in length, with Shazam getting some much appreciated feature time coming in at a TV episode worth time of 22+ mins! The first thing that caught my ... Read More!
Thanks to the Movie Blog I found that EW has a 30 second mini video preview of the upcoming Green Lantern movie. What is there to say? Well, one could make quite a few obvious observations. This is not the Hal Jordan we know from the comics. A few quick back handed comments out of Ryan Reynolds mouth and we find that this GL has a sense of humor. Not surprising as I’ve yet to see a comic ... Read More!
If it wasn’t for the TV spot I would have let this one go by the wayside. The Warrior’s Way is coming, and it’s coming out swinging! The imagery and action remind me of a mix of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and “Hero” with a bit of Zack Snyder for good measure. I’m a sucker for karate flicks and have developed a mild interest in westerns thanks to the story that was given in ... Read More!

You know something, I never thought I would put the words “Darkchylde” and “Movie” together in a sentence and be referring to something real. You know how there are just some things that just sound too good to be true that it falls flatly in the category of “not ever gonna %$@’n happen” like “Justice League Movie” or “Good video game ...

R.E.D. is a movie I had been mildly looking forward to ever since receiving some promotional material about the movie sometime in 2009. The movie stars Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirrin, and Mary-Louise Parker (for good measure). It’s an cast and an interesting action-comedy that features characters that are passed their prime. I gotta say i think this is a cool ... Read More!
So this weekend I watched Jonah Hex. You know the movie with Josh Brolin, Megan Fox, Malkovic about that western bounty hunter who can speak to the dead. I thought this movie was going to be more supernatural and I’m guessing in the DC comics that’s how it is. It was a side bar in this movie. Let me restate that, in this absolutely horrible movie. From the initial scenes the ... Read More!
So I have mixed feelings about that Avatar movie that was all the rage a year ago. I think it was technologically impressive, however, I felt that the story fell a little flat and seemed like refining used ideas into a complete package that made Avatar. I felt that there was a little Armageddon, a little Aliens, and a lot of Ferngully influence in the movie and put together into a generic story ... Read More!
This Friday I took a chance to go see a movie and I saw Devil. I have to say that the worst mistake I made in my life. I seriously don’t understand how M. Night continues to be involved with movies. Why hasn’t he been banned from Hollywood. This movie was worst than The Happening! To make a long story short this movie is based on an idea of when the devil comes to prey on ... Read More!
Let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of the “Saw” franchise. I saw the 1st 2 movies and thought they were interesting, but by the time the 3rd movie was released I got the feeling that they had themselves a cash cow they were intent on milking. It’s not that the movies are bad per se, I just happen to be a person who doesn’t particularly look forward to a gore movie. Now, with ... Read More!
Superman/Batman: Apocalypse is an animated movie, and sequel to “Superman/Batman: Public Enemies”. The film is an adaptation of the Storyline published in the Superman/Batman comics titled “The Girl from Krypton” which is a modern take on the story of Supergirl. The film stars longtime, and beloved, voice actors Kevin Conroy, and Tim Daly reprising their roles as Batman and ... Read More!
Some of us already know the legacy of the Big Apple Comic Con. Some of us. The Big Apple Comic Con is the longest running (that I know of) annual comic book convention in the NYC area. It’s a daunting, but exciting convention to attend and this year’s show seems to be prepped to be bigger and more extravagant than conventions past. The guest list is outstanding and should be found ... Read More!
First let me open by saying that I did not see the first film. Never even heard of the dang thing. I have to say that after watching the clips and trailers for this new film it actually made me want to look up and look back to see what the heck all the fuss is about. The film is an old school slasher rather than the the type of films they try to pass as horror today. There’s a lot of ... Read More!
Below is the latest trailer for the latest upcoming Harry Potter movie. I must say that the trailer does certainly look impressive. Lots of implied action from within the trailer to excite and titillate fans while waiting for this November release (if it doesn’t get pushed back). I admit that the trailer does have me pretty interested to see how the series will crescendo to it’s ... Read More!
I must really like to put myself through torture. To watch this bullcrap excuse of a movie is like asking someone just shoot me in the head. I don’t know about you, but I just think all these video game companies must love these movie studios destroying the characters and stories they diligently developed. Don’t get me wrong they have screwed up a few comics and some TV-series ... Read More!
Caught “Resident Evil: Afterlife” this weekend. I actually thought this movie was called Resident Evil 3D. Something on a technical note, this is the first film since Avatar to use James Cameron’s camera, the Fusion Camera System. RE3D, (I’m just going to call it that), was solely designed to be a spectacle to show off slow motion 3D action. The CGI is poor in some areas, and ... Read More!
Now I saw Tales of Earthsea and why this film didn’t get much publicly as the other two is beyond my mind. All of Studio Ghibli’s movies are fantastic and I expected nothing less from this film. It’s important to know that this film was not directed by Hayao MiyazakI and was instead directed by his son Gorō Miyazaki. The story is about how humans and dragons once peacefully co-existed. ...
