Master film maker Guillermo del Toro features many of the other horror masters in his turn at directing the famous title sequence for The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror episode. You can play the game of trying to spot all the references. I did that on my second watch. For my first watch I simple sat […]
Will Guillermo del Toro’s Dark Universe create a DC Universe?
You’ve seen the Marvel films and know how they all live in the same “Universe.” We had the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents throughout and then the Avengers as the wrap. Will DC manage something similar? Will Superman act the starting movie that creates a world the others live in? If so then attention must turn to Guillermo […]

They are; Gipsy Danger, Striker Eureka, Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon […]
Over two minutes of Pacific Rim greatness
My expectations are getting dangerously high for Pacific Rim. This is never a good thing. Check out this trailer and tell me if I’m wrong. Add in Guillermo de Toro, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman and even Ellen (Glados) McLain – then tell me I’m wrong? I know! I might be wrong. It could all come […]
DC’s Dark Universe might be their best chance against Marvel’s Avengers
Guillermo del Toro was at WonderCon to help promote Pacific Rim, the mecha versus Kaiju film, and it certainly feels like that’s going to be a great movie.

Pacific Rim teases with Kaiju footprint
The marketing campaign for Pacific Rim has thrown us another treat. This time we get a look at the aftermath of a Kaiju attack. It rather looks like a giant footprint. Photos like this make for good teasers in the phase before we’ve trailers. It seems a little late for Pacific Rim to be doing […]

Pacific Rim: Who gave GLaDOS those toys?
This blogger is about a day late and a million and a half plays late for posting Del Toro’s latest trailer for his upcoming mecha versus monster movie: Pacific Rim. There was a chance that this post could gain some cred by saying; “Yup! That really is GLAdOS, the AI from Portal”… but everyone knows […]
Kaiju Attack: Pacific Rim teaser
I’ve seen debate around this clip. Is it Cloverfield 2? Is it the new Godzilla movie? I don’t think so. Given the terminology (and what plenty of others are saying) I’m sure this is Guillermo del Toro’s giant mecha versus monsters Pacific Rim movie. That’s right; the man who did Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth and who […]
