Another August, another scary portent for films that are usually find their way into the late Summer dumping grounds for all the crap studios want to unload before the fall gets underway at the end of September…
Superman on TV…
What a nerdfest. I have never had to endure so much concentrated geek in one place than I did at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego. It was great…
Superheroes on TV”¦
Yup, I’ve decided to make trek as a fan of the comic art form in the 20 years or so of actual collecting, I think I’ve amassed a bigger collection than Brodie, and am actually indulging in the spectacle that is the San Diego Comicon. I have no clue what to expect, no idea what I’ll see (if I don’t see someone dressed as a Stormtrooper/X-Men/Lady Death I’ll be sorely upset), and am ramping my anticipations up to finally find a copy of that FANTASTIC FOUR bootleg that seems to be more prevalent in the comic book community than any STD…
Peter wraps up his in-depth look at Spider-Man 2…
One thing I noticed as the Cubs (GO Cubs!) rallied for one win against the Cardinals in last Sunday’s night game on ESPN was the recurring commercial for the new BOURNE SUPREMACY flick. It was great. Every commercial break they had I had the chance to see it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, but I noticed something tacked on to the end of the trailer. Universal was using some time after the trailer finished to pimp its new double dipped DVD edition of the BOURNE IDENTITY…
Peter’s in-depth look at Spider-Man 2…
I absolutely hated having to time my movie-going a few years back to sneak into a theater I knew was playing the new STAR WARS trailer. The movie it was attached to was not what I wanted to spend my money on and I sure as hell didn’t want to completely ruin an evening and be a really sad sack nerdite by seeing the thing and leaving. I did manage to catch it before my intended film started that very same weekend and since then I have noticed studios doing this every so often, attaching anticipated trailers with films that aren’t worth going to see in the first place, which brings me to CATWOMAN…
Peter looks at the men behind Spider-Man…
4th of July Weekend. This is a great time to catch up on all the summer fare that’s out there for your viewing pleasure but I thought I would give a little independent trailer love for those of you who find enjoyment in sitting on your dead ass for a few hours watching a baseball game in the form of UP FOR GRABS…
What’s to say as we get closer to the opening of SPIDER-MAN 2?
Part 2 of Peter’s look at Joss’s X-Men…
The Japanese get all the good stuff. They get the sweet electronic gadgets before we do, have impeccably clean cities, have all the great seafood, make insanely great cars (can I get a Bubba Rubb woo woo on this?), and they actually posses a trailer for I, ROBOT that does not invoke any hatred, whatsoever, from me against Will Smith’s character…
X-Men, Buffy, and more…
There is a battle of wills going on here…
Danny Fingeroth’s Superman on the Couch, Home on the Range, and Wolverine…
There have been some great follow-ups lately in the land of Trailerdom. Usually, as is the case most of the times, there is a revamp of trailers that first run with films to the ones that are playing on the television the week a movie is released. There are trailers that will never improve, some that needed a serious re-cut, and others that are fine just the way they are…
Shrek, Hellboy, and rediscovering Nemo…
This week, like a crazed mutant toddler hopped up on kiddie Quaaludes, consisting of a 64 oz. big gulp of Hi-C Fruit Punch and a couple packets of Pop Rocks, washed down with a box of Nerds, I’m taking the room down a notch to bring you all some out of the way fare. I have some new stuff from Spike Lee, a movie in the vein of the Coen’s (when they were good), a new flick from Doc Ock, an indie about Mexicans that’s actually supposed to be funny, and a gritty crime flick starring The Punisher.
Peter takes a look at Chris Claremont’s X-Men reboot…
I don’t know what kind of sticky cheeba was being smoked in or around the Disney negotiating table when it was time to talk business with the Pixar people but I’m feeling that somehow, someone might have actually thought, “Oh yeah. We can do this alone.”
Peter turns his eye towards Peter David’s Soulsearchers & Co…
Without messing around, and with the exception of paraphrasing some Ice Cube above, the trailer that is running for THE BOURNE SUPREMACY has some great weight behind it. Without a doubt there is car chasing much gritter-looking than anything in THE ITALIAN JOB and a little more explosive action than in RONIN. While the latter mixed foreign cities with 4-wheel action with great effectiveness, I do hope BOURNE replicates its sleeper status as a great, well-thought-out action pic. If you do yourself a favor this week and have the chance to look at least one of these movies, make it this one. Trailers can only tell so much, and can hide a lot, but the advertising for this flick sells a pile of crap well if that’s the case.
X-Men, Spider-Man, and Jess Nevins’ League…
