— Falling Skies, Burn Notice

If you didn’t know, Falling Skies season 2 premiered on Sunday and Burn Notice season 6 early this month.  If you’ve been following the two series, you do know they’re worth their weight in post-apocalyptic sci-fi  drama, and thrill (Falling Skies); good pacing, characterization, narration, humor and action (Burn Notice).  You’ve been told good people!

# The Dark Knight Rises: New Posters

The Dark Knight Rises is roughly a month away from its highly anticipated debut.  Several factors hang in the balance, BUT that’s a story for another day 😉  Today’s story highlights these slightly exaggerated promotional pictures.  Why? Well if you have kids, they’ll be clamoring for action figures and toys.  Get the point? 🙂

We are going to watch The Dark Knight Rises as a group of movie enthusiasts here in Nairobi, on IMAX.

Want to come? YES 😉

# The Amazing Spiderman: Early Reviews

Although yet to hit worldwide theaters, including Kenyan ones, Spidey swung into theaters in Tokyo and Japan second week of June.  Early reviews are out from several credible publications that weren’t off the mark with earlier superhero releases, namely The Avengers.  In short, they are as i said, credible 😉  The early reviews are pretty much solid and very positive, and yes the film does have its flaws (what movie doesn’t) but in simple terms, Spidey holds his own despite an early shocking reboot of the series and the shadow of The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises looming…

IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS DON’T READ ON!

“The Guardian UK – In re-engineering Parker into the introspective, uncertain male more typical of his previous film, Webb is aided by a terrific performance from Andrew Garfield, who brings a genial unflappability that allows him to negotiate the often-ludicrous demands of the superhero plotline. At the same time, Webb also shows an unarguable facility for the more traditional action elements of the story, and the 3D certainly helps: he pulls off some properly nauseating shots as Parker dives off skyscrapers, rescues kids from falling, and the like. It’s the successul synthesis of the two – action and emotion – that means this Spider-Man is as enjoyable as it is impressive: Webb’s control of mood and texture is near faultless as his film switches from teenage sulks to exhilarating airborne pyrotechnics.

Telegraph UK – Amid all of the soul-searching and lip-biting, it suddenly struck me: Webb has created the first superhero movie aimed primarily at women… Raimi’s films were for the teenage boys who used to dress up in Spider-Man pyjamas; Webb’s is for girls whose other halves may soon be dressing up in Spider-Man pyjamas for their benefit… Twilight in spandex? Well, perhaps, although it’s this radically different approach to Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s crimefighter… that makes Sony Pictures’ reboot worthwhile. The Avengers fans have enough heroes already. What a thrill to see one fighting for another cause.

Total Film – Swinging from fresh to faithful-to-source, Marc Webb’s reboot is a sparky, well-cast, often punchy Spidey spin… but it’s also Spider-Man Begins Again, struggling in places to assert its own identity… plot and tone aren’t always so sure. “Untold story” claims hinge on Parker’s pursuit of the truth about his dad, but [the film] diverts into turf better covered by Raimi… Maybe Webb should have avoided the origin story and started with Spidey established. But he gets enough right to sign us up for a sequel, not least a thrilling climactic blast-off. The route there? Bit bumpy. Finally, though, Spider-Man re-begins in style.” 

July 4th, 2012 will have Spiderman in worldwide cinemas and in Kenya 🙂
