I remember going to the movies for Demon Knight. I loved Tales from the Crypt on HBO, and the idea of a movie was cool at the time. My sister and my best friend joined me for the showing. It was treat to watch. I…
Today, reports have come in that Van Halen founder Eddie Van Halen passed away of cancer at 65. Regardless of where you stand on Van Halen overall (whether you prefer David Lee Roth’s vocals over Sammy Hagar’s), it was Eddie that brought some great sound…
Well, this came out of left field. With last year’s adaptation of Stephen King’s “It” being a suprise success, it looks like Paramount is throwing their hat into the ring. Pet Sematary is a remake of Mary Lambert’s 1989 horror classic, and from the looks…
Here’s one for the cinemaphile’s glossary. In cinema circles, an Auteur is described as “a filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie are so great that the filmmaker is regarded as the author of the movie” (Wikipedia). I’ve looked at films as…
(This was also posted over at Through the Shattered Lens) Unless we’re dealing with a story like The Lord of the Rings, where the second film is just a placeholder for the more epic finale, a sequel usually comes with a great deal of responsibility….
You’ve heard of Venom, haven’t you? Remember Spider-Man 3, and that weird character Topher Grace played? Or maybe you’ve read the comics over time, played the character in countless videogames? With the latest teaser trailer for Venom, Sony is betting that you already know the…
“Well, that’s just lazy writing.” Ah, good old Wade Wilson. Fox just dropped a teaser trailer for the Deadpool Sequel (which doesn’t really have a name at this point other than maybe Deadpool 2). This one focuses on Cable and shows off some of his…
During the Super Bowl, Disney/Lucasfilm dropped a teaser to Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. The full teaser premiered during Monday’s Good Morning America. Looks like the galaxy’s favorite scoundrel is in for some early adventures, and the feel overall reminds me a little…
We’re in the home stretch for Part One of Avengers: Infinity War. It’s only a 30 second shot, but in it, we’re able to catch a glimpse of a few new scenes, including what looks to be maybe a new shield for Captain America and…
Oh, yes!! Ethan Hunt is back! Christopher McQuarrie is also back on board, breaking with tradition and becoming the first director to helm two Mission Impossible films. It appears that Sean Harris’ Solomon Kane is also returning, similar to the way that Jesper Christiansen made…
We’re not big fans of trailers that tease other teasers, but this is the age we live in. Tomorrow will give us the full teaser trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story, but here’s a taste of what’s to come. It’s looking pretty good.
2015’s Sicario snuck up on audiences with a quiet October release and a big impact. Strong performances and great visuals (by way of director Denis Villeneuve and legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins) lead the way on the film. I loved that movie. Personally, I didn’t expect…
I woke up this morning and found out that legendary composer and Academy Award Winner Ennio Morricone has passed away at the age of 91. Unfortunately, I haven’t the knowledge to fully give Morricone the justice he deserves. He was known mostly for his scores…
