Watchmen Pilot Recap: “Trust in the Law”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 12:00:07 +0000

Considering the glut of superhero stories we’re experiencing in movies and TV, right now is either a great time to revive Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ legendary Watchmen comic, or perhaps the worst. The TV spinoff’s premiere episode leaves me feeling conflicted on that question. HBO clearly intends Watchmen to be its new major event...

‘Tomorrowland’ Review: Future Imperfect

Philip Brown — Thu, 21 May 2015 19:00:51 +0000

Here’s an odd one. We’ve somehow moved past an age in which basing a movie on a theme park ride seems odd, and now have a movie based on an entire theme park section. Thankfully, the person assigned to translate Walt Disney’s fuzzy World’s Fair future ‘Tomorrowland’ into a feature film was Brad Bird, a...

‘The Leftovers’ Pilot Recap: “God Sat This One Out”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 02 Jul 2014 15:00:23 +0000

With the premiere of HBO’s new drama series ‘The Leftovers’, I’m experiencing an overwhelming urge to make a pun about the show feeling warmed-over or stale. That title is practically begging for it. Ultimately, I suppose it wouldn’t be fair for me to dismiss the entire series after just one episode. Still, I’m less than...

Poll: Will You Watch Damon Lindelof’s New TV Show?

Josh Zyber — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:00:59 +0000

If you have HBO, you’ve probably seen the ads for the network’s upcoming Rapture-themed summer series ‘The Leftovers’. Like many viewers, you may have thought the show looked interesting until the dreaded screen credit: “From Writer and Executive Producer Damon Lindelof.” Are you still willing to give the series a shot, or is Lindelof’s name...

Weekend Moviezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Luke Hickman — Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:00:58 +0000

This weekend brings us the return of Pixar and a zombie movie loosely based on an acclaimed novel. If you’re wondering which one is better, the correct answer is “neither.” Pixar seems to have Disney-itis. With the exception of the ‘Toy Story’ movies, the studio just can’t keep it together with follow-ups. The unworthy ‘Monsters,...

Critical Mass: ‘Prometheus’

Aaron Peck — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:00:43 +0000

By now, it’s clear that Ridley Scott’s ‘Prometheus’ is one of the most divisive films of the summer among both audiences and critics. The movie has already garnered a love-it-or-hate-it reputation. Is it a good movie? Luke says yes, Aaron says no. I guess it’s time for another installment of Critical Mass. [Warning: Spoilers lurk...

Poll: What Did You Think of ‘Prometheus’?

Josh Zyber — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 16:00:21 +0000

Among sci-fi fans and film buffs, Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien’ prequel ‘Prometheus’ (and don’t believe any of Scott’s misdirection that the movie’s not really an ‘Alien’ prequel – it so is) has been one of the most eagerly anticipated movies of the year. Now that it’s finally opened, it has also turned out to be one...

Ridley Scott Talks About ‘Alien’ Prequel That’s Not an ‘Alien’ Prequel

Josh Zyber — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 17:00:45 +0000

I don’t personally intend to run a whole lot of coverage of Comic-Con here in the blog this week. I’m not attending the event, and most of the fanboy wankery that happens there doesn’t interest me. However, I did find this video clip of Ridley Scott talking about his now-shooting movie ‘Prometheus’ (which at this...

New ‘Lost’ Scene Surfaces at Comic-Con – Explains Everything

Josh Zyber — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 13:00:01 +0000

You thought that ‘Lost’ was over and done with just because the show aired its final episode? Well, it is. However, producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse made an appearance at Comic-Con on Friday to host a “Lost: One Year Later” panel and reveal a new “deleted” scene that should once and for all silence...

5 Reasons Why ‘Piranha 3D’ Sank

Drew Taylor — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 17:00:16 +0000

By now it’s clear: I thought ‘Piranha 3D‘ was pretty great. And I’m pretty sure it’s not the heat stroke talking. I saw the movie twice this weekend, and both times the theater (the largest one at my local bijou) was at least half-empty, if not more. I tried to figure out why exactly this...

‘Lost’ Epilogue Found

Josh Zyber — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 13:00:18 +0000

‘Lost’ fans are no doubt all aware of the news that the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD releases for the show’s final season will include a new 12-minute epilogue scene featuring Ben and Hurley, called ‘The New Man in Charge’. To see the whole thing, you’ll of course need to buy one of those box sets....
