Logan: It’s Time To Make The X-Men Great Again

Mike — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 21:00:17 +0000

It is both a tragedy and a triumph that the ninth and final installment of Hugh Jackman as the beloved Wolverine is the superlative outing of the character. The dark tone and gory gritty action that “Wolverine” veteran James Mangold gives James Howlett, coupled with standout performances from all of the actors, easily makes this the best film of the X-men franchise, and as some may come to say, one of the best comic book films made to date. Why is it, then, that only as the wick of the candle burns to the end does it shine brightest?

The newest James Bond film, "SPECTRE," will be released this weekend. My rising level of enthusiasm comes not just from my lifetime of Bond obsession, but also from the cascade of well-placed cuts from the recent trailers.

Revenant: a person who has returned, especially supposedly from the dead. This is exactly the opposite definition of Director Alejandro González Iñárritu, who is returning from an Oscar hat trick from last year’s Birdman with wins for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Picture. This time he is teaming up with one of the […]

Does New “Hitman” Trailer Hint at a Hit ?

Mike — Fri, 13 Feb 2015 03:17:40 +0000

With the continued lacking of Hollywood originality, an important question for film production has become: “when is the right time for a reboot?” In the case of “Hitman” it seems they have guessed about 8 years. The original 2007 film based on the popular video game franchise was undoubtedly a flop and it looked as […]

I have repeatedly said I want to see Hugh Jackman fighting robots, but this is because I wanted to see him with claws fighting Sentinels. For some reason he tried and failed in 2011 with “Reel Steel,” and this March it looks as if we will see him try again. This time by fighting a […]
