DOCTOR STRANGE 8/10 Michael Giacchino wrote a theme! I repeat, Michael Giacchino wrote a theme! In all seriousness, I've decided I like my comic book movies more when it's about 1 super-hero instead of an overcrowded "team up" flick that delegates screen time to an ensemble. Though shackl...

I'm thinking Criterion is focusing much of its energy on the FilmStruck streaming site now. I know Filmsttruck is a partnership between Criterion and TCM but based on the initial offerings it looks to be about 95% Criterion. That's not necessarily a bad thing. There are several movies I'd watch but...

- Crimson Peak (2015): 9.5/10 I watched this a few days ago and really liked it. It's Del Toro's best movie since Pan's Labyrinth. How this didn't get even a nomination for best production design is beyond me. That house was amazing! SPOILERS One thing that bothered me for a little bit, until I rec...

Get Smart S1 Ep 1 “Mr. Big” The Loner S1 Ep 1 “An Echo of Bugles” I had never heard of “The Loner” until I saw a mention in another message board. Normally I wouldn’t blind-buy a TV series I wasn’t familiar with, especially when there are so many well-known shows I don’t yet own. Nevertheless, I wa...

But they made that movie by fanboy request, to fanboy-dictated parameters. Keep it dark, because, you know, this is a comic book — serious stuff. This is the mentality that is killing comic book movies, especially DC adaptations. All these middle-aged fanboys are permanently stuck at age fifteen, w...

7.5/10 I liked it. A definite improvement over the previous film with a more focused story and lots of humor. The action sequences got a little too chaotic at times and one in particular (not saying until everyone has seen it) came off as rather silly. The cast still works very well together and the...

Right now I'm finishing season two of Arrow on Netflix, but once I do, I'm going to be giving this a shot. Winona Ryder...! :D I am also watching the second season of Arrow, but finding it very slow going. I recently watched the episodes that introduced the Flash, which were the only really good ep...

I've seen several critics say Kate McKinnon steals the movie. Do you agree?

I heard INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 will not be screening for critics before opening day. Not a good sign.

Teaser trailer is out.



Not much except for:

1. the phrase "new crews" (plural). As in more than one crew in the first season or a hint at the possible anthology format?

2. when Alexander Courage''s main theme is played, it is thankfully not done in tinkly piano style.

It's amazing that Disney has three movies in the top five! And Zootopia is in its tenth week and has now made more money than BvS.

I ordered A Man For All Seasons and Born Free. Might have gotten one more but there's the Intrada sale and I'm trying to use only what I have in my Paypal account.

New rumors that the upcoming TREK series will be set in the original series' universe, be set before TNG and will be a seasonal anthology. These all sound like great ideas.

Yeah, the hype could be a problem with this one. It will not appeal to everybody. I liked both SUPER 8 and MIDNIGHT SPECIAL but they are completely different movies. Early Spielberg is clearly an influence on both but whereas Abrams paid homage to Spielberg by making a movie that looks and sounds ex...

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL Thanks to my membership in the Alamo Drafthouse rewards program I got free tickets to see Midnight Special , Jeff Nichols’ critically acclaimed sci-fi drama. I reserved two seats and my wife asked one of our friends to watch our kids. We got to the theater 15 minutes before the movi...
