‘Predestination’ Trailer

‘Predestination’ Trailer

Ethan Hawke is a temporal agent — or at least he’s playing one in the trailer for the upcoming Predestination.

I do not believe time travel is actually possible — or if it is, it will most certainly not work the way it does in the movies (I mean really, a Delorean?). That said, I’m a pretty notorious nut for sci-fi, and time travel can make for some great sci-fi. And this certainly looks like great stuff. It’s an interesting take in that it has sort of a film noir look to it, but it’s a time travel film. There’s also the idea that I’m sure appeals to all of us on some level, and that is, if…

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ Trailer 2

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ Trailer 2

I sure hope this film is as fantastic as it looks. Sure, it’s completely unrealistic, but it looks just spectacular. Sure, it will be goofy, but my money says there’s a story in there.

Mathew Vaughn is directing, and he’s begun to make quite a name for himself. He does solid work and I think this has the potential to prove his best film yet. Colin firth is, of course, a solid choice, though not necessarily someone you would expect to see in this particular role. But I think he’ll work well.

There’s also Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Caine, and Mark Hamill. Lots to look forward to here.

Liam Neeson Talks ‘Tak3n’

Liam Neeson Talks ‘Tak3n’
Edward Davis — The Playlist

“This time, no more traveling,” Liam Neeson told USA Today this morning. “If my daughter was ‘taken’ again on a trip, Bryan Mills would have to be certifiably locked up for bad parenting.” Yep, that’s right. They’ve changed the formula of the “Taken” series, with the title being rejigged as “Tak3n.” This time, Mills is the prey after he’s framed for the murder of someone close to him. And since no promotional pics of  Famke Janssen have emerged, maybe it’s her?

I guess we’re going to do this. Please, please, please be better than ‘Taken 2’! That actually shouldn’t be all that hard, right?…

A Few Upcoming Films

A Few Upcoming Films

I have been very busy lately. Very busy. In addition to my day job of web development, which I work roughly eight hours a day, give or take, I also take client work when I can (I have to the freedom to do this with my job). Plus I see at least one movie every week, podcast about it every week, and write various bits and pieces for the site every day — well except I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t really do that on days that I podcast as well. Case in point: today (I’m writing this at 9:15 PM the day before you will be reading this) I got up at five to work three hours on a freelance…

‘Godzilla’ Writer Max Borenstein to Script ‘Godzilla 2′

‘Godzilla’ Writer Max Borenstein to Script ‘Godzilla 2′
Angie Han — /Film

Godzilla 2 already has a release date, director, and list of monsters in place, and now it also has a writer. Max Borenstein, who scripted this summer’s Godzilla, will be back to write the sequel.

Deadline reports that Borenstein’s deal with Legendary has already closed. Details on the overall plot of the new movie haven’t been revealed, but kaiju teased at Legendary’s Comic-Con panel include Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah. (And Godzilla, obviously.)

Yeah, so that doesn’t give me a lot of hope for this film. I mean the first one was fine. Just okay. But every problem I had with that film was…

Roberto Orci Drops ‘Power Rangers’ To Focus on Next ‘Star Trek’ Film

Roberto Orci Drops ‘Power Rangers’ To Focus on Next ‘Star Trek’ Film
Anthony Pascale — TrekMovie.com

In order to deliver a Trek film by the Summer of 2016, Orci is going to be very busy for the next 21 months or so. And apparently this has caused Bob to cut some stuff from his to-do list. In July we reported that he had signed on as an executive producer for a Power Rangers reboot. But now Deadline is reporting that Orci has dropped out of the project “because his Star Trek 3 directing obligation has created a scheduling conflict.” 

Welp.

It’s happening. My fingers are crossed.

‘Big Eyes’ Trailer - Starring Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz

‘Big Eyes’ Trailer - Starring Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz

I like Amy Adams in anything I have seen her in. Yes, yes, Man of Steel was a terrible movie that I hope with all my heart I never have to watch again, but Amy Adams was good in it.

Christoph Waltz I have actually only seen in two films, but I thought he was good in both.

On that basis, I am interested in this film. I’m not much of an art watcher, but this film does look interesting. It takes place in the 1950s and 60s when sexism was in some ways at an all time high even though at the same time, feminism was on the rise in a serious way.

Amy Adams plays Margaret Keane who was apparently…

CGI Animated ‘Popeye’ Test Footage

CGI Animated ‘Popeye’ Test Footage

Popeye was one of my mainstay cartoons growing up. It was funny and unique and I enjoyed it immensely. Looking back on it, it’s pretty cheesy and probably not really worth watching. But it still holds a special place in my heart.

I was unaware of this CGI movie until just now, and I have to admit the idea of it is not very endearing. Much like my initial thoughts on the Peanuts film, I just don’t think this could be all that good. I’ve been giving this some thought to try to figure out my own thoughts and put them into word for you. I think the problem for me is that reviving these old…

‘The Judge’ Trailer 2

If Billy Bob Thornton doesn’t ruin this film, it’s going to be great I think. I’m in and I sure hope I’m not disappointed. The film primarily stars Robert Downy Jr. and Robert Duvall. Billy Bob Thornton is going to play a fairly major role though, it looks like (ugh), as the prosecutor of our two protagonist’s case.

The film will also star Vera Farmiga, Leighton Meester, and Vincent D’Onofrio. Check out the trailer.

‘Bourne’ Talk On The Playlist

‘Bourne’ Talk On The Playlist
Edward Davis — The Playlist

Politics, politics, politics. It’s the name of the game in Hollywood. Earlier this summer, producer Frank Marshall insisted Matt Damon wasn’t returning to the ‘Bourne’ series (because he had to) and now, he’s essentially admitting to it because the cards are all on the table. Yes, Matt Damon is coming back to play Jason Bourne, but it’s complicated (as THR says, “Let’s hope Matt Damon and Jeremy Renner don’t bump into each other at a restaurant.”).

“We’re on two tracks,” Marshall told the trade about the two ‘Bourne’ currently movies in the works. “And if this one [with Damon and Paul…
