I am legitimately eager to see this. I wanted to see the black and white version of GODZILLA MINUS ONE in theaters, but my schedule never quite worked for that. Netflix will just have to do. (The color version is also available on Prime Video.)
You know what the funny part is? I sort of remember this movie as being in black and white anyway. Weird, that.

I can’t embed the trailer here (it’s Vimeo), but the short film ‘One For the Road‘ looks a bit different than the story by the same name in Stephen King’s Night Shift. Which… okay, yes, King is a jackass. But some of his best short horror fiction is in that anthology, which means that a couple of the best short fiction stories of Twentieth Century horror is in that anthology. You do horror writing for any length of time, you learn how to compartmentalize and silo your reactions to individual authors. You just have to.
And yeah, I may need to see this one. Because the short story it may be based on is absolutely top-notch.

Well, that’s not going to be controversial at all.
Continue reading CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD made Judenfrei?There are hints that CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD is not as wretched as might be assumed. I still like the movies a lot more than the TV shows (I’ve largely given up on those). But this would’ve been better as a Hulk flick.
You can see the news for A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS here and the trailer for TIME BANDITS here. I will say only this: Taika Waititi needs to go sit in a corner, and think about what he has done. And maybe watch the original TIME BANDITS again, to see all the Christian subtext that Terry Gilliam put in there, probably without even realizing it.

It is rare that I stop a trailer halfway through to declaim, This is some bull[expletive deleted], but GLADIATOR II managed the job.
Huh. There’s a mild flicker of interest, here. I mean, I get that AGATHA ALL ALONG is gonna be awful, because aside from LOKI that’s been the default level for Marvel TV shows for a while. Still, a Halloween-themed horror show has… again, a flicker of interest. I honestly wasn’t expecting even that much.
ANGELS FALLEN either had the very good luck or the very bad luck to be released during the pandemic. I’m only noticing it now because there is a sequel (ANGELS FALLEN: WARRIORS OF PEACE), and I would be fascinated to hear why. Tax write-off? Aging actors with recognizable names doing some flicks on the cheap for the heck of it, or to pay the bills? Somebody lost a bet?
Seriously, I could get into bad movies about angels and demons and guns, if it’s the right kind of bad. I played In Nomine. I’m down with that sort of thing.
Continue reading Did anyone see ANGELS FALLEN?Ah. So BATMAN NINJA VS. YAKUZA LEAGUE is an alternate timeline, then. …I’ll allow it.
Look, like I said earlier: I liked BATMAN NINJA. Batman is a ninja. He’s, like, King Ninja. And the character conceptions we see here made me chuckle in at least one place. So I’m down for this.

Hard to pick one song from this, so let’s just go from the start.
