I think their "learned lesson" is only Peter Jackson's people ought to be making these "sequels" or "prequels" or whatever they are. It is incredibly ironic that Jackson -- who people were going nutty over his LOTR films and saying he was the next big thing in cinema --...

Reviews are in and they're mostly really good!

I'm up for this. WAR bored me but the change in setting and the fact we're actually getting the PLANET OF THE APES this time has me interested.

I tried to like this one but had a hard time getting into it. Maybe I will try again in 4K!

Nothing but sequels, prequels, and nothing new as far as the eyes can see...coming up with another BARBENHEIMER or TOP GUN MAVERICK is going to be a tough task this year. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/08/summer-box-office-preview-movie-slate-lacks-franchise-hits.html For the first time since 2009, th...

That was so bad I had to buy the UK import instead!

Dusted this off from my own archive -- a local Channel 4 Boston interview with John Williams (plus George Lucas and a visiting Steven Spielberg!) during the PHANTOM MENACE scoring sessions in London.

To someone who knows nothing of THE FALL GUY, the movie's concept was poorly defined in the trailers they put out. Films "about Hollywood" seldom do that great, and THE FALL GUY as a "brand" is not anything that means anything to anyone really..we're talking a 40 year old TV seri...

I picked this 88 Films release up the other day -- just a note they fixed an error involving some stretching in the transfer that had plagued the first UK release, as well as the Kino Lorber one. Also adds in some excellent, new 30-45 minute interviews with John Glen and the DP, plus the producers, ...

Speaking of Cox seems like he's having a rough time of it

Must've been a great set during the midst of COVID no less...

Hard to process!

This movie sounds like a runaway train spinning towards disaster. Disney has no clue what to do with Marvel at this point. None of the post-"Phase 1" heroes have taken hold, even something like ANT-MAN (always a B grade hero to begin with) that generated multiple sequels played to rapidly ...
