Suggestions for the next James Bond theme
A great James Bond starts with a bang (quite literally). The opening song is about half the value of the movie itself. We’ve heard memorable gems (McCartney) and absolute garbage too (Madonna). Now that the production of Bond 23 is starting, we’ll soon hear rumors about musicians. Here are my suggestions to Eon, MGM and Sony. The Last Shadowpuppets Their sound screams JAMES...

The Wrong Step: The Jude Law Syndrome
Usually this featured is dedicated to the misteps of an actor. But let’s make a little exception for now. Remember 2004, the year when Jude Law was everywhere? Jude Law is a good actor, I’m not judging his acting abilities here. But the year 2004 was a real invasion of the silver screen. It’s probably not his fault, because I’m sure that some movies took longer to...

A Post-Apocalyptic Zorro?
Apparently, 20th Century Fox wants to reboot the Zorro franchise by sending the character in the future! 24 frames reports that Zorro Reborn will take place in a post-apocalyptic world, in which Zorro is “less a caped crusader for justice than a one-man vigilante force bent on revenge”. This is sincerly stupid. One of the reasons why people love Zorro to this day, is because...

Back to the Future and Destiny
I’m your density. I mean… your destiny. -George McFly When Marty Mcfly went back in 1955 with his Delorean, he may have had the power to alter history, but did he really? In 1955:     •    Doc Brown had the idea of time travelling.     •    Marty’s father met his mother.     •    The clocktower stopped working.     •    The future mayor of Hill Valley got his interest...

The Best Pixar Movies (so far) : The Shorts
Short movies are often overlooked, because for some reason they’re considered less important than feature films. But if anything, Pixar keeps proving that a great story can be tolld in minutes. We have to admire Pixar for offering a different movie experience in theaters, much more closer to what it used to be. Let’s honor good storytelling and look at the best shorts produced by...

Movie Trailer Analysis : Fast Five
See the trailer right here. Target audience: Unless you have quite an unusual level of testosterone, I would say men from about 12 to 35 years old. Tone: Cheesy, macho, sexist…your usual Fast & Furious movie. It probably doesn’t pass the Bechdel test, but that’s just a guess. Value: I never got into the whole underground racing culture, but I know that for a lot of...

The Wrong Step of Robert De Niro
Don’t get me wrong, Robert DeNiro is a great actor. In my opinion, probably one of the finest in movie history. But lately, he’s been slacking off for quite a while. How can you go from Taxi Driver to Little Fockers? Let’s find out when he started being lazy. The wrong step: The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle It’s understandable to start making comedies like...

Phantom Menace is better than Empire Strikes Back?
I had a debate yesterday with someone about Star Wars and it was pretty funny. The guy is entitled to his own opinion, I respect that, but it was still pretty absurd: HIM: Episode 1 is a masterpiece. (Looks at me) What, you disagree? ME: In my opinion, the best one is Empire Strikes Back, I’m sorry. Generally speaking, it’s also the one that people like the most. HIM: The old ones...

juarezafterdarker asked: Love your blog. It's may be my favorite movie tumblr.
Sharp, pointed, accurate, and fearless criticisms that focus more on the pitfalls of the industry instead of engaging in the snobbish and snarky personal attacks of many online contributors.
Yours seems the kind of criticism that, if embraced by more, could push the industry to constantly improve instead of driving on...

Movie Trailer Analysis : Rise of the Planet of the...
See the trailer right here. Target audience: The movie seems to be aiming at those who aren’t fans of the series. I would say, people from 17 to 28 years old. Tone: Judging from the trailer, it seems pretty tame in the art direction compared to the original or even Burton’s dud. It looks like your usual thriller with CGI monkeys going crazy. Value: Somehow, I get the feeling...

20 Years Later : Out For Justice
OUT FOR JUSTICE (1991) directed by John Flynn Is it a classic? Not so much… Have you ever wondered how it would sound if Steven Segal was an Italian from Brooklyn? Honestly, it’s probably as terrible as you imagine. He’s not convincing at all, but that’s what makes it even funnier. Out For Justice reminds us why Segal is so famous in the first place. Yes, before he...
