Will ‘Green Lantern’ Be Eclipsed By ‘Transformers’&‘Captain America?’
As I wrote last week, Green Lantern’s greatest problem is that its foreign box office returns are weak, which is confirmed in a story at ComicBookmovie.com. The article, among other things, tells of a...

Wha!? I just finished watching the trailer for Michael Bay’s latest ‘Transformers’ film, and I have to say that he’s had better trailers. This one has a particularly disjointed quality to it, and...

The trailer of Gareth Edwards’ “Godzilla” trailer has arrived, and I have to say that I like it (despite that opening ‘Transformers’ horn sound). Heavy on atmospherics, relatively little of the big...

I don’t think that Michael Bay and Zach Snyder are the same people, though the new trailer for “Transformers: Age Of Extinction” plays eerily similar to trailers for Snyder’s “Man Of Steel”– though at...
View Article‘Dark Space’ Trailer
The trailer for Dark Space actually looks pretty good, especially for an independent film (made without the backing of a major studio). There’s a dash of Predator here, a hint of Outland there, and a...

As Above, So Below, let’s be clear, isn’t a particularly good movie, but it is a damned entertaining one. The story, such as it is, revolves around Scarlett (Perdida Weeks), who’s searching for the...

I literally don’t get all the love for Wes Anderson (that being said I have also never sat though a single one of his movies). There’s something very elite, very pretentious about the man and his films...
