A middle-aged nerd from the UK. I like films and write about them, sometimes for Film Stories or my blog.
Have a great day.

Nice teaser, gets me interested without spoiling any plot.
I wonder if that car is real or all CGI?
I thought most of the studios, except Disney, had pretty much given up on the Superbowl because the cost was becoming prohibitive compared to the returns the films were making.
It’s like the San Diego Comic Con. The studios stopped previewing their films because the reaction was always fantastic but the crowd was the target audience. Not enough to make any noticeable change in the wider market.
Saying that, I’ll never forget the Superbowl trailer for the Matrix sequels. The awesome use of the music track Supermoves and the amazing action it teased.
Spielberg later regretted making those changes to ET saying,
“That was a mistake,” Spielberg told a master class at the Time 100 Summit in New York City.
"I never should have done that.
"E.T. is a product of its era. No film should be revised based on the lenses we now are, either voluntarily, or being forced to peer through.
Also, in another example, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale have the rights to Back to the Future. Universal need there approval for any sequels/remakes which they will strongly refuse. They’ve also left the legal rights to their estates. So even once they’ve passed on, the chance of anymore films are basically zero.
Bending the rules a bit here. I know it is not a true sequel, but it’s part of a trilogy. Hot Fuzz is better than Shaun of the Dead. Also, except for the second film, I think the Mission Impossible series just gets better with every entry.
This was a project at Netflix for a long time, and just recently I learnt they had spent $30m on pre-production before letting the project go.
I really like the original Mortal Kombat and am a huge fan of Event Horizon. Then Anderson stumbled with Soldier, which is OK. The most interesting fact is that die to an Easter egg, it is actually set within the Blade Runner universe.
Alien Vs Predator I really like, despite the alien gestation time being really short, but the film does contain the best shot ever, the look of a surprised predator. Always makes me laugh.
I like the way the final shot of the film has no context to anything else beforehand. At a guess, I reckon it’s from a CG heavy final fight? Maybe a flashback?
The studios must realise that once it’s PVOD, your giving a perfect copy to the pirates!
Another quick release. I thought this only happened to the underperforming films.
A $26m worldwide opening weekend isn’t great, is it.
So that’ll be streaming on PVOD next week, with the 4K and Blu-ray two weeks later then, I guess? 😆
I still haven’t seen part 2 yet but I bought both in 4k from a black Friday sale. These comments are encouraging. ☺️
Well this is a character I know nothing about, so maybe that will explain my initial thoughts.
The clip introduced the character of Kraven well and it has me interested in the full film. The problem is, are you telling me not one guard managed to shoot him at all in that sequence? They were almost point blank at times. Not a single scratch!
Apparently, the comments were taken out of context. It’s from a 2 hour interview, edited down to 30 minutes. Hence the confusion.
The Jinx film almost happened. There was a script, a director in Stephen Frears but apparently MGM got cold feet spending $80m on the film.

“It was very disappointing. It was ahead of its time. Nobody was ready to sink that kind of money into a Black female action star. They just weren’t sure of its value. That’s where we were then.”
I was trying to be funny. There was no need for your language. Why can’t we have a decent conversation?
