Another Movie Review Pacific Rim

Seth

Guillermo Toro did such a great job directing you can see the similarities in the special effects and graphics with Hellboy and Pans Labyrinth which are other movies which he has directed. He was also a writer contributor for the Hobbit. As for the movie Pacific Rim this movie (pardon my french) totally kicked ass! The story fascinated me, people have always looked to the stars for an alien race but an unexpected portal from one dimension to earth formed in the middle of the Pacific ocean. After the first…

Brad Pitt in World War Z

Walt

The figure of the zombie has appeared several times in fantasy themed fiction and entertainment, as early as the 1929 novel The Magic Island by William Seabrook. Time claimed that the book “introduced ‘zombi’ into U.S. speech”.  In 1932, Victor Halperin directed White Zombie, a horror film starring Bela Lugosi. This film, capitalizing on the same voodoo zombie themes as Seabrook’s book of three years prior, is often regarded as the first legitimate zombie film, and introduced the word “zombie” to the wider world. Other zombie-themed films include Val Lewton’s…

Man Of Steel Movie Review

Walt

Comics Talk is not an organization that gets an invitation to see a premier of a movie before it is released to the public so when I saw some of the movie reviews before the release of the movie and a 57% rating by the movie critics at Rotton Tomatoes and I read some of the criticism I was discouraged. But then I saw that in the early assessment of movie goers that 82% of them liked it and many people have not seen it yet I was encouraged. Having…

A Look Back At The Superman Movie 1978

Walt

On the last week before the release of the Man Of Steel movie which premiers on June 14th I thought a look back at the Christopher Reeve’s Superman, Richard Donner directed movie in 1978. Superman: The Movie was considered a success with over 300 million made globally and the cost of 58 million. On many levels it was a success because it introduced the best known superhero to thousands of people who have never read a comic about Superman. It gave DC Comics a boost in sales in the competition…
