Review: FANTASTIC FOUR: Not That Bad! Not That Good!

Fantastic FourIf the entire running time of Fantastic Four was a mess and a slog, it would be much easier to write about. But because the film gets so much right in it’s first 45 minutes, talking about it becomes extremely frustrating. The film is a clear example of project that tragically derailed and no one knew how to get it back on track, so they just haphazardly pasted scenes here and there and hoped for the best. The end product mirrors the inter-dimensional planet the titular four travel to: visually interesting, but ultimately lifeless.

Unwrap ‘The Gift’ To Subvert Your Thriller Expectations (Movie Review)

The GiftIt’s going to take me awhile, but I’m sorry.  Every time I hear the movie title The Gift my mind instantly thinks of Sam Raimi’s 2001 film featuring the likes of Cate Blanchett, Katie Holmes, Keanu Reeves, Giovanni Ribisi and Greg Kinnear.  I keep having to tell myself it’s 2015 and movie titles are allowed to have the same name as others that have come before it.  Is it unoriginal?  Hell yes it is, but we have a new player in town and lately producer Jason Blum (The Purge and basically every other horror film out there in recent years) is a force to be reckoned with because the dude is walking on water.  He can do no wrong!  Of course it doesn’t hurt when your film features the talents of Jason Bateman and Joel Edgerton too, but I digress.  We’ll talk more about those two down below.  Ladies and gentlemen, I present to my gift to you…The Gift movie review. Continue reading ‘Unwrap ‘The Gift’ To Subvert Your Thriller Expectations (Movie Review)’

Strangerland (Blu-ray Review)

Strangerland Blu-ray ReviewNicole Kidman, for obvious reasons, has always reminded me of Tom Cruise.  I’m not referring to the fact that they were once married, birthed children together or even starred in the same motion pictures.  I’m referring to the apparent fact that just like Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman (with makeup on of course) appears to suffer from that same Peter Pan syndrome of never aging.  So while the Blu-ray’s cover of Strangerland, the film’s premise and all the negative reviews didn’t help sell me on the feature, the fact that Nicole is in it and the trailer didn’t make the flick unwatchable hooked and reeled me right in.  So despite the negative reviews I come into Strangerland only knowing two things for sure.  It has some talented cast members and the theatrical trailer looked promising.  Other than that I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

Fantastic Four Is A “Grimm” Disgrace (Movie Review)

Fantastic FourLet’s forget about whether this is a good film or not for a minute.  In my opinion, here’s a motion picture that should have never been made.  I understand all the reasons why it was made, the rights involved, securing the property and what not, but come on, really.  Do the trailers for this new Fantastic Four film look any better than the two Jessica Alba incarnations that came before?  In my opinion, they do not.  Actually, the trailers looked worst.  However, that’s just my two cents because I’m sure I’m in the minority here, but I rather liked the first two Jessica Alba infused Fantastic Four films.  They were fun, lighthearted and entertaining.  And hey!  If not for those two Fantastic Four films, the world would have never found the Captain America they all know and love today in that of Johnny Storm.  Ah, Johnny Storm.  Don’t even get me started on that topic (I’m not going to play that card). Continue reading ‘Fantastic Four Is A “Grimm” Disgrace (Movie Review)’

DEADPOOL Trailer: I’m Very Turned on Right Now

DeadpoolIt’s here! I wrote about my love for this trailer last month when Director Tim Miller, Ryan Reynolds, and the cast showed up at Comic-Con with the red-band trailer. Of course, this isn’t as long as what they brought, but it’s still great nonetheless. The costume’s great, the jokes are funny, the action is violent, and Colossus is gleefully silly. The panel was one of the highlights of Comic-Con; they expressed how shocked (and thankful) they felt that the studio allowed them to make a hard-R Deadpool film. A lot of energy and passion went into the making of this film, so I’m crossing my fingers that it lives up to the joy I’m feeling right now.
