After making essentially B-list and C-list superheroes into mainstream powerhouses — you know, like Iron Man and Guardians of the Galaxy — Marvel Studios is now bringing another into the limelight: Doctor Strange. It doesn’t hurt that it stars Benedict Cumberbatch.
At this point we have all seen the newest trailer for Captain America: Civil War, right? I know. It’s a silly question. Of course we have all seen it. The biggest surprise was the scene at the very end. You know which one.
What did you think of director Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim? I loved it. It was a really fun monster versus mech movie. The cinematography was gorgeous; in usual del Toro fashion. It spoke to me on a deep level. The child in me. That one who loved Ultra Man all the way to — dare I say it — Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad. So hearing that Pacific Rim 2 is moving forward is fantastic news to me.
J.J. Abrams loves his secrets. Hot off of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the trailer to the sequel of Cloverfield dropped, entitled 10 Cloverfield Lane. One of the interesting things? There’s no signs of the monster — or monsters for the matter. Not literally anyway.
Ridley Scott’s Prometheus left things open ended. Our surviving protagonists — one of them arguably an antagonist — took a ship and went off in search of new, fun adventures.
I hope I didn’t spoil anything for you. If I did — oh god, I’m so sorry! Please stop reading and go watch the movie. It’s on Blu-ray and it’s a gorgeously shot film.
Last night I watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens in theaters yet again. Today, I stumbled onto the fact that David Prowse, the actor who wore the Darth Vader suit in the original trilogy, posted something very interesting on his Facebook.
You watched The Force Awakens, right? If not — what the heck are you doing? Go see it right now! A spoiler is on the horizon; in just the next paragraph.
It surprises me. Suicide Squad is winning me over. The biggest issue I had — ironically — is Jared Leto’s Joker. Nevertheless, the film looks fun. But it might be just because of the song choice for the trailer. Maybe.
Amongst the craziness of a certain little movie in theaters, I went and saw the film Creed. Nearly everything about it is incredible; the likable characters, the emotional weight behind every scene, and the fantastic camera work. It quickly became one of my top movies of 2015. Suffice to say, I was very excited to hear that the man behind Creed will direct Marvel’s Black Panther.
