E parliamo un pochino di questo spin off della saga di John Wick, che vede protagonista una sempre brava Ana De Armas nei panni di un John Wick in gonnella, appunto, intenzionata a compiere la sua vendetta nei confronti di chi le ha portato via tutto.Non sono mai stato grande fan dei film di John Wick ragazzi...e anche questa pellicola, seppur godibile e fatta bene in termini di action, è qualcosa che mi ha lasciato parecchio perplesso e che, secondo il mio inutile parere, finirà nel dimenticatoio in tempi molto rapidi.Non un brutto film, ma abbastanza mediocre e senza particolari guizzi che possano renderlo degno di nota, anche se può essere una storia che incontra il favore di tanto pubblico, quindi andate a vederlo e fatevi la vostra opinione, come sempre.Ma recuperate anche il film omonimo del 2023 su Netflix!

Continua la tendenza a riproporre grandi successi del cinema di animazione in versione live action. Questa volta è toccato a "Dragon Trainer", uscito nel 2010 per la regia di Dean DeBlois (nella foto), con Mason Thames, Nico Parker e Gerard Butler. È un esperimento un po' diverso da quelli di cui abbiamo già trattato perché si tratta quasi di un remake shot by shot “per cui il cartone animato quasi prende vita”, come ci dice Fiaba Di Martino, esperta di cinema di animazione di Film TV.Con il nostro Boris Sollazzo parliamo di "Ballerina", diretto da Len Wiseman, con Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves (che è anche il produttore) e Lance Reddick e di "Volvereis", diretto da Jonàs Trueba, con Itsaso Arana, Francesco Carril e Andrés Gertrudix, un film che piacerà di sicuro a quanti hanno amato la serie “Dieci Capodanni”."In marcia con i lupi" è un film diretto da Jean-Michel Bertrand. Lo ha visto per noi Chiara Pizzimenti.La mitica serie degli anni Novanta "Twin Peaks” ritorna in tv su Mubi. Ne parliamo con Giulio Sangiorgio, direttore di Film Tve grande esperto del cinema di David Lynch.

Len Wiseman legt mit "Ballerina" ein Spin-off zur "John Wick"-Reihe vor, das offenbar derart große Schwächen aufwies, dass Chad Stahelski nachdrehen und den Schaden begrenzen musste. Ein guter Film ist trotzdem daraus nicht geworden - und kann es wohl kaum, wenn man sich darüber klar wird, was hier eigentlich versucht wird. Die "John Wick"-Filme sind virtuose Action-Filme, in denen das Wie und nicht das Was oder Warum im Vordergrund steht. Indem man jetzt aber mit einer langwierigen Exposition eine Saga stricken will, in der die Ballerina Eve (Ana de Armas) nur manches Mal auf John Wick (Keanu Reeves) trifft, sonst jedoch mühsam ihre Familientragödie rächen will, nimmt man der Reihe ihre Leichtigkeit und verwandelt sie in ein dumpf-düsteres Mafia-Szenario, das man so schon unzählige Male gesehen hat.

When will Ana de Armas's juice start juicing? Could it be in this weekend's John Wick: Ballerina?! We don't know. Haven't seen the movie yet.

Ist Ballerina ein würdiges John Wick Spinoff oder unnötiger Quatsch? Um das herauszufinden, haben wir uns erneut zusammengefunden und wie immer fachkundigst darüber gesprochen. Spoiler: Wir waren uns da mal wieder so überhaupt nicht einig und möglicherweise ist das Gespräch hier und da auch ein wenig entgleist. Dabei sollte man ja eigentlich denken, dass große Einigkeit herrschen müsste, wenn drei Filmnerds über den neuen Film von Len Wiseman sprechen. Der hat nämlich nicht nur Ballerina inszeniert, sondern auch Underworld, Stirb Langsam 4 und das grottenschlechte Total Recall Remake. Mit anderen Worten: Keine guten Vorzeichen für das John Wick Spinoff. Warum Ballerina Hoffi mal wieder wütend gemacht hat, während Hermann und Deedz eine halbwegs gute Zeit im Kino hatten und warum unsere Diskussion zwischendurch etwas eskaliert ist, erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge.

Mit Ballerina wagt das John-Wick-Franchise den Sprung zum Spin-off – und liefert dabei eine atemberaubende, aber auch erzählerisch enttäuschende Action-Oper. In unserer aktuellen Folge vom Filmmagazin besprechen wir den Film mit Ana de Armas in der Hauptrolle und gehen der Frage nach: Ist das nur ein müder Franchise-Ableger oder steckt doch mehr dahinter?

The legend of 1995's Waterworld suggests that it was a huge flop and a criticial disaster. The truth? It was neither. But it was one of the toughest Hollywood productions of the 1990s, and its story continued even after the arduous shoot was complete. In this episode, Simon goes through the origins of the film as a low budget idea, right through to the emergence of a longer, alternate cut to the film: The Ulysses Cut. The second half of this episode is given over to Len Wiseman, who talks to Ryan Lambie about Ballerina, a lost moment in an OAP's home, Die Hard, getting fired from ILM, and working with Roland Emmerich.

We make a case for Renny Harlin's Die Hard 2 (1990) as the platonic ideal of a blockbuster sequel - a bigger, dumber version of the original with a great supporting cast which delivers on the formula and also serves as a better “Christmas movie” than the first one to boot. We itemize our issues with McTiernan's return to the franchise with Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), and trash the final two films in the series, Len Wiseman's Live Free or Die Hard (2007) and John Moore's rock-bottom final entry, 2013's A Good Day to Die Hard, inexplicably set in Russia.

Welcome to your favorite movie podcast, Not a Bomb! We take a second look at some of the biggest box office bombs in cinema history to see if they truly deserve their infamous reputations.Our podcast is launching into outer space this "Re-MAY-ke" month as we explore the sci-fi adventure of 2012's Total Recall. Reimagining the beloved Paul Verhoeven classic was quite the challenge, considering its iconic status in the sci-fi/action realm. The 2012 adaptation replaces certain sci-fi aspects of the original with heightened action scenes, featuring more leaps, gunplay, and chases. Additionally, this version includes what could arguably be one of the most contentious performances ever dissected on our show. Intrigued to learn more? Tune in to discover who we're talking about!And don't forget, "Get your ass to the podcast!"Total Recall (2012) is helmed by director Len Wiseman and features a cast including Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho, and Bill Nighy.Should you wish to provide feedback or suggest a cinematic flop for discussion, please reach out to us at NotABombPod@gmail.com or through our contact page.

Dick story "We Can Remember it for You Wholesale". We discuss the film's long gestation period under several different producers and directors, most notably as a project for Hit Factory fave David Cronenberg. Then we go long on the film's startling prescience, it's themes of revolution against the extractive brutalist of an imperialist force, and Verhoeven's metatextual commentary on filmic reality as psycholgical mirror and wish fulfillment fantasy. Elsewhere, we discuss the dire 2012 Len Wiseman remake starring Colin Farrell and how it betrays and insults its audience by stripping away any and all subtext. Check out Matt & Ben's graphin novel, Justice Warriors.Follow Matt Bors on Twitter.Follow Ben Clarkson on Twitter. ....Our theme song is Mirror by Chris Fish. 

Len Wiseman's debut in 2003 was no cause for celebration, but it could be said that Underworld, the film he popped his cherry on, was. Featuring Kate Beckinsale as Selene, the vampire enchantress who hunts werewolves and was responsible for the most sexual awakenings since Princess Leia went commando. This flick is basically Romeo and Juliet with sexy vampires and werewolves done with the late ‘90s glossy dark esthetic and broodiness. Oh, also, it spawned four sequels, a series, and a metric ass-load of cash while cementing neoprene bodysuits as my new fetish. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate werewolf lipstick and mixed-race relationships as we do our best to decide if the Underworld underwhelmed, or lives immortal.
