Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

The Avengers has passed (REVIEW: it was AMAZING!) so, other than the inevitable sequel, what other long term comic book movie project is there to look forward to? The answer to that came during this year’s Marvel Studios panel at SDCC: it’s Guardians of the Galaxy. I think there’s a void in superhero films (which could be considered its own [...]

The Avengers has the perfect mix of ingredients, The Hobbit has the pedigree and Dark Knight Rises has the edge of the unknown and the unexpected. Ridley Scott’s Prometheus has all of the above. Its trailer is easily my favorite out of all of the above films and after many months of vagueness regarding the film’s ties to Alien, [...]

Well, it looks really fucking good so far. Excitement!

Dark, imposing, fear-inducing and fancy headwear are the things that define Darth Vader for me visually and I tried to keep those four things in my design. I show the top of his head so he doesn’t come across as a full robot but kept the breathing mask thingy that is so iconic of the [...]

About a year ago, I saw the Clash of the Titans remake, thought it to be terrible and decided to write a review of it. I set up a post (header image and all) but days quickly turned into weeks and I never actually wrote more than a few words on my draft. After finally [...]

It’s great when a piece of entertainment lives up to fantastic concept art like the one above. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Thor has had some great runs in the comics but he’s arguably better known as one of the “Big Three” in the Avengers alongside Captain America and Iron Man. With the Avengers movie [...]

After leading people to believe that he was going to auction off the distribution rights to his newest film, Red State, after its Sundance 2011 screening, Kevin Smith gave movie studios the collective finger by announcing that his plan was to distribute the film by himself all along. So he’s doing a Red State tour around the country for a few [...]

Though never a fan of the original Tron (I’ve never even seen it but I do admire how ahead of its time the concept was) I was pretty psyched about the prospect of a new Tron movie based solely on the test footage that was released way back at San Diego Comic-Con 2008. In the months leading up [...]

The first thing I did after watching 127 Hours in the theater was to hit up IMDB to refresh my memory on director Danny Boyle’s previous efforts. Of his movies that I’ve seen, I happen to dislike 28 Days Later on many levels and I think Sunshine started out really strong before it plummeted into mediocrity a [...]

Over the last few days, we lost two giants who left their marks in completely different areas of the film industry. There is really nothing to be said of Irvin Kershnel, the man who directed, among others, a movie that is one of the greatest of all time and the voice of a generation. Of [...]
