Catching Up on 2012: Jeff, Who Lives at Home
In Jeff, Who Lives at Home, Jason Segel plays Jeff, a young man searching for himself. Jeff seems like an intelligent and affable fellow, but when we meet him we also see that he’s something of a lazy bum, and he still lives in his mother’s basement. Ed Helms (The Daily S
Welcome (Back) to Jurassic Park
I have written many times here on the site that I am a big fan of revival screenings of classic films. I am delighted whenever an opportunity comes to see a great movie back on the big screen. I loved when Back to the Future returned to cinemas in honor of its 25th anniversary, an
Re-reading Grant Morrison’s Batman Epic — Part Two
Last week I began my look back at Grant Morrison’s years-long run on Batman! His run got off to a great start, but then things got a little shaky: The Resurrection of Ra’s Al Ghul — this storyline crossed over through Batman, Detective Comics, Robin, and Nightwing.
Game of Thrones Returns!
I love the cable model of short seasons presented all in one burst, as opposed to the network model of 24-or-so episodes strung out over a whole year. But boy, sometimes it is really hard to wait for the many months between seasons of those cable shows!! After an excruciating wait
Pineapple Express 2!
My favorite of all of the April 1st silliness on the web yesterday is this fake trailer: As I was just saying yesterday (in my review of Take This Waltz), I am excited for Seth Rogen & Co.’s end-of-the-world movie, This is the End, which opens this summer. It looks like fu
Catching Up on 2012: Take This Waltz
I went into Take This Waltz knowing full well that this wasn’t going to be the usual kind of Seth Rogen film. Frankly, I was excited by that idea! I have been a big fan of Seth Rogen since his work as a young kid on Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared. And while I haven’
News Around the Net (and a rant about Prometheus!)
So, OK, bloody disgusting ran an article that Fox doesn’t know what to do with a proposed sequel to Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, and that the source of the problem is that when Lost’s Damon Lindelof re-wrote Jon Spaihts’ original Alien prequel script into wha
Re-Reading Grant Morrison’s Batman Epic — Part One
After completing my big project of catching up on Geoff Johns’ Green Lantern saga, I decide to dive back into another DC Comics epic: Grant Morrison’s long run on Batman. Mr. Morrison took over the Batman title back in 2006, and he’s been spinning a long, complex B
Star Trek: Allegiance in Exile
I have really enjoyed all of the Star Trek novels written by David R. George III. Just a few weeks ago, I heaped enormous praise upon his “Lost Era” novel, Serpents Among the Ruins, that depicted “The Tomed Incident” and a story of the Enterprise B. I also
“I Will Walk Over Your Cold Corpses” — New Trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness
So… ok then! A new international trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness just dropped this morning, full of new footage. It’s available in HD here — click on “International Trailer — UK.” Like all the glimpses we’ve gotten so far of Star Trek
