Paul Bettany’s Priest Now Delayed Until 2011

Well this sucks. As I mentioned in my review of “Legion”, I totally dug Paul Bettany as an action hero. His second shot at big-time action hero glory is the upcoming “Priest”, which Bettany stars for director Scott Stewart, who also directed him in “Legion”. According...

Watchmen Comic Book Sequels? Likely. Watchmen Movie Sequel? Unlikely.

I liked Zack Snyder’s “Watchmen”, even if it did seem too jumbled and messy and in the end, maybe a little too earnestly faithful to the source material for its own good. (But I’m sure Snyder was in a no-win situation there — make the film too faithful and you lose the non-comic...

Basically, this latest trailer (via MSN) definitely qualifies as a Red Band, if just for that last scene where Hit Girl tells Kick Ass how to get in touch with her and the Batman copycat Big Daddy.

Planet Hulk (2010) Movie Review

My knowledge of “The Incredible Hulk” saga pretty much begins and ends with the late-70’s television series starring Lou Ferrigno and the late Bill Bixby. As such, it’s safe to say that I’m fairly ignorant on the subject, and I’m not entirely ashamed to admit that...

The Losers Get a New Poster. It Kinds Looks Like Their Old One.

The LATimes has debuted a new poster for Sylvain White’s upcoming “The Losers” along with an article. It’s a nice poster, one patterned after the comic book covers the movie is based on, and a previous version. I hadn’t put it together until I read the article, but yeah,...

DVD Review: Whiteout (2009) Movie UK R2

There’s a scene in the first ten minutes of “Whiteout” where Kate Beckinsale gets undressed and has a completely unnecessary and gratuitous shower. At this point I thought the film was AMAZING. Then for the next hour and a half Kate Beckinsale puts on LOADS of clothes and has no showers. This...

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Mysteriously Shrugs off Spider-Man Reboot Rumor

On the one hand, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is probably a tad too old to be playing Peter Parker in the Spidey reboot, which will be set in High School (he’s 28, FYI). On the other hand, Tobey Maguire was already 27 when he first played Peter Parker, high school kid turned superhero back in 2002. Then...
