“The Hobbit” Trailer is Here! Now Sit Down and Wait.
Seriously, folks. We have to wait a year for this, and we have yet to see Smaug.
Pirates of the Caribbean 4 – So, Pirate Zombies Again Is It?
The trailer to Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which is the fourth movie in the franchise, is out and it looks pretty solid. The movie is based on a superlative novel called (surprise!) On Stranger Tides, by Tim Powers. If the movie hews close to the book, then it will likely be the [...]
I Was Fine Until the Mi-Go Showed Up
I’m going to have a hard time waiting until 2011 for this movie to get released. “The Whisperer in Darkness” is another adaptation of a very good H.P. Lovecraft story done by the same folks who turned “The Call of Cthulhu” into a very entertaining silent movie. Here’s the second trailer (the first is here). [...]
This is No Good, No Smurfing Good At All.
Hollywood, I’m warning you. Don’t you do this. Don’t you dare do this.

More Aslan, More Better!

Off-screen are the two eldest Pevensie kids and in is a new cousin (this will be no shock to you Lewis aficionados). You won’t get any large-scale battle scenes, but there looks to [...]
I Sing the Birds Cinematic
There is a right way and a wrong way to look at birds. This is the wrong way. Apparently, this Godawful waste of celluloid has become a minor cult hit, for reasons I can not fathom. I know from good cult movies and this one doesn’t come close to qualifying. It has no redeeming feature, [...]
Calling all Superhero Geeks!
I can’t say I’m a dedicated watcher of the Justice League cartoons, but what episodes I’ve seen I’ve really liked. I missed the part of Geek School that involved comic books, so I admit I’m behind the curve, but I do like a good superhero story. This seems to be a good one. I do [...]
I Love It When A Remake Comes Together
As I said in the last episode of The Delivery, filmmakers make a big mistake when they try to “update” an 80s action show or cartoon for a modern audience. They tend to forget that cheesiness was an integral part of most of those shows. When you treat a show far more seriously than it [...]
