Adapt and survive; the theme surrounding director, Tomek Baginski’s newest sci-fi film, Ambition. But what do we really know about it? I have scoured the internet all week hoping to find something, anything about this film. I managed to find out it was premiering as part of the BFI’s sci-fi week, but not even on their…
The Stairway to Heaven might prove a gentler obstacle to climb than the lawsuit pending against 1970s rockers Led Zeppelin. Earlier this year, the family of Randy California, late guitarist of the band Spirit, as well as the rest of his band members have banded together to sue the famous act on grounds of plagiarism….
Movie goers first met sardonic but likeable New York cop John McClane in 1988’s blockbuster hit Die Hard. The film, which followed McClane (played by Bruce Willis) as he fought terrorists who had seized a building and taken his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) hostage, garnered as many positive reviews as it did bucks at…
An episode of FOX’s The Mindy Project that aired earlier this month has brought the show under fire by feminist bloggers the world around. In the episode, the sit-com featured a conversation between the titular Mindy Lahiri (played by series creator Mindy Kaling) and her boyfriend Danny following a sexual encounter in which he, without…
Episode 3 of Gotham, “The Balloonman,” is a mixed bag. The title character of this episode, the eponymous Balloonman, is Gotham City’s first vigilante, who kills the rich and corrupt of Gotham by tying them to small weather balloons resulting in them flying over the city (presumably since they considered themselves above Gotham and its people)…
The success of the movie adaptation of John Le Carré‘s Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Gary Oldman has led to a new TV series based on his other works. The Night Manager The TV series will be based around Le Carré’s ’93 spy thriller The Night Manager, which follows Jonathan Pine, a…
As if the stylized spelling of its title wasn’t enough to make fans balk, Jai Courtney who plays Kyle Reese has revealed Terminator: Genisys is likely to be PG-13. And fans are none too happy. Terminator Genisys In 2012, which isn’t so long ago that fans have forgotten, Megan Ellison from Annapurna Pictures promised the…
When everyone’s favorite archaeologist Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones rode off into the sunset at the end of 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, few expected the character or his beloved film franchise (which also included 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark and 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) to ever return to…
Neil Gaiman has announced the release date of his newest illustrated book The Sleeper and Spindle. Gaiman has once again teamed up with illustrator Chris Riddell to create a reimagining of a couple of beloved fairytales. Think Snow White mixed with Sleeping Beauty and add a dash of darkness, told in a way only Gaiman…
Four days full of reveals, surprise guests and screaming fans came to a close Sunday afternoon as “Sleepy Hollow,” Fox’s hit show, closed out the main stage at New York Comic Con 2014. But it definitely wasn’t a sad occasion. Actor Orlando Jones made sure of that. He was joined onstage by costar Lyndie Greenwood…
While we may all rest in quiet anticipation for 2015, given that Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, Star Wars Episode VII, and Mad Max (just to name a few) are slated to debut, it appears that the following year just got as exciting. Reports confirm that Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man is on the cusp…
I had my doubts about FOX’s Gotham, but after seeing the first two episodes (“Pilot” and “Selina Kyle”) I’m officially on-board. Initially my fears were that Gotham would be a generic cop drama with occasional nods to the Batman canon, but the show is instead neo-noir mixed with elements of a crime drama and action series. Most…
While there is room for personal preference, I don’t think I’d be stepping on too many toes by saying Tommy Oliver is the most popular “Power Rangers” character of all time. He’s donned multiple colors (green, white, black and red twice) while leading story lines in multiple seasons. So when Jason David Frank, the actor…
It’s no secret that movie cinemas have been in the financial dumps for quite some time now. Since the invention of the television and then the VCR, both of which brought films from the big screen into the homes of viewers, cinemas have tried every gimmick in the book to try to win back movie…
Among Marvel’s ongoing harshest criticisms, which are just a few petty issues considering their repetitive successes, involves their lack of noteworthy villains (Loki and Winter Soldier aside). While not every film can’t have a Heath Ledger Joker, most of Marvel’s villains are as disposable and hollow as paper cups. We’ve all seen them make a…
