Holy Crap Optimus Prime is Really Big

Here’s a couple of two new looks at Michael Bay’s upcoming “Transformers”, featuring Megan Fox, Shia LeBouf, and the huge, honking head of Optimus Prime himself as he confronts the two puny humans (images below). Geez, I didn’t know Optimus would look that big on the screen,...

Well this comes as a bit of a surprise, but Thomas Jane has officially pulled out of the upcoming “Punisher 2″, the sequel to the 2004 comic book movie adaptation about a cop who takes up vigilantism when his entire family (and I mean all of them) is butchered by drug dealers. How do we know...

2-Minute Behind-the-Scenes Transformers Featurette

Michel Bay’s live-action movie version of the “Transfromers” cartoon isn’t due out until July 4th, but I have to say that I’m a little surprised by the lack of advertising for the film, at least in comparison to other big Summer blockbusters like “Pirates of the Caribbean”....

Superman Returns (2006) Movie Review

Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns” is pretty damn good, but it could have been pretty damn great. It is very much in the vein of what Singer did with the “X-men” franchise, and as such “Returns” feels like the Superman version of the first “X-Men”...

Generation X (1996) Movie Review

Long before the X-Men made a splash on the big screen, Marvel Comics tried things on a smaller scale with a television film based on a spin-off of the X titles. They made a very wise decision, and the result signals the beginning of Marvel’s rise as a theatrical force to be reckoned with. Breezy...
