Wanted (2008) Movie Review #2

At the rate that Hollywood is cranking through comic books to fill up its studios, film worthy comics may soon become as scarce as crude oil. The latest entry is “Wanted,” helmed by Russian action golden boy du juor, Timur Bekmambetov (director of the currently in progress “Night Watch” vampire trilogy). Based on [...]

Wanted (2008) Movie Review

“Night Watch” (2004) put Russian director Timur Bekmambetov on the map. Based on the novel by Sergei Lukyanenko, it tells of the ancient battle between light (good) and dark (evil) and the man who will decide which side will triumph. Why did this Russian language film make such a splash? It’s a visual stunner with [...]

Mark Millar Updates Kick-Ass, War Heroes

Chances are Mark Millar’s latest comic book, “War Heroes”, will never make it as a movie, even if it Hollywood tells him they want to make it into one, and is willing to give him oodles of money to let them try. But according to Millar, that’s not the case with “Kick-Ass”, his latest comic [...]

Watchmen ’80s Commercials are Very ’80s-ish, Trailer News

In April of this year, Zack Snyder and the Watchmen gang asked viewers and fans of Watchmen to produce their own 1980s-inspired TV commercials and send them in; the chosen winners got $1000, but the biggest prize is having their commercials show up in the background of the Watchmen movie itself. Yes, that’s right, Warner [...]

Has Marvel Already Assembled Earth’s Mightiest Heroes?

Well yeah, probably, since they own the characters and all, so of course they’ll be assembling the upcoming “Avengers” movie with all the characters they currently have rights to. That includes: Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, The Hulk, and Iron Man. According to Wikipedia, that’s slightly off from the original comic roster, which included Ant-Man, Wasp, [...]

Seth Rogen is the Green Hornet. What, you Can’t Read?

If you were one of those people holding your breath that Sony Pictures would finally come to their senses and snap victory from the jaw of defeat by taking the Green Hornet property away from Seth Rogen, you’re sadly mistaken, chump. Sony has put up a logo for Rogen’s upcoming “Green Hornet” movie (I’m guessing [...]

The Spirit Femme Fatales Speak via their Posters

You know, for a movie based on a comic book that was first created in 1940, there sure is a lot of sex oozing out of every celluloid pore of Frank Miller’s adaptation of “The Spirit”. Mind you, not that I’m complaining, but I wonder if the finished product will have even 1% the sex [...]

Spider-Man 4 Scheduled for 2011

Director Sam Raimi is being extremely vague about whether he’s coming back to direct “Spider-Man 4″ (and probably, also “5″), and star Tobey Maguire hasn’t said much about it. On the other hand, no one has bothered to ask Kirsten Dunst if she wants to come back, and no one seems to care if she [...]

300 Million Dollar Iron Man

A month and a half after it was first release, Jon Favreau’s “Iron Man” has cleared $300 million dollars in domestic receipts. Add to it the $249 it’s made in overseas buckaroos, and it’s look like Marvel Studios chose correctly when they decided to pop their production cherry with “Iron Man”. Consider the film’s (by [...]

Wanted Guys Already Talking Sequels. So What Else is New?

My fellow movie site guys always find ways to surprise me. Here’s one: they’re shocked that the guys behind “Wanted” are already talking about making a sequel to their not-yet-opened movie. Guys, really? You’re shocked by this “news”? Movie people are always “talking” about sequels (or in some cases, trilogies!) to movies that haven’t opened [...]

More Wolverine WWII Beach Set Pics

Well, okay, so there is just one picture of Wolverine (aka Hugh Jackman) on an Australian beach pretending to be a fighting American WWII soldier, with the rest of the pictures filled out with extras in combat gear running to and fro. And here I thought being an extra on a movie meant camping out [...]

Straczynski Talks Silver Surfer: It Probably Ain’t Gonna Happen

I like J Michael Straczynski. Seriously, it’s ridiculous, and borders on being a man crush. I saw every episode of the guy’s Babylon 5 TV show, despite the fact that my local area kept showing it in syndication at around 3:00 in the morning. Luckily, I was pulling down a second shift job at the [...]
