Wendy and Richard Pini’s “Elfquest” is coming to the big screen — but as what? No one knows, not even Warner Bros., who will be fronting the money to bring the cult comic book series to a movie theater near you. To that end, they’ve given the thumbs up, or whatever it is elves use, [...]

Say, Have You Heard of The Dark Knight Yet?

In case you haven’t heard, Warner Bros. is about to release a little movie of theirs called “The Dark Knight”. I hear it’s their prestige film of the year, and that they’re expecting to lose money on it, although it would just tickle them pink if it ended up making a profit. That’s a bit [...]

New Wolverine Pic is Still all Claws

Let’s face it, Wolverine’s biggest draw are those claws. Without them, he’d be like the Beatles without Lennon, Butch without Sundance, or The View without Rosie. It just ain’t right! So of course, every promo image from the upcoming “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” will feature the feral Canucklehead and those claws of his, such as the [...]

Hellboy II Makes the Wacky Cross-Over Marketing Rounds

July 11 is fast approaching, which means the second unleashing of Hellboy and crew onto a suspecting populace (there may be one or two who don’t know he’s coming).

New Dark Knight Poster is Jokerific

That wacky Joker. If Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan aren’t careful, the Joker may end up being the star of “The Dark Knight”, which would be a problem if the Joker ended up dead at the end of the movie. Of course, that’s how we’d prefer the film end, instead of leaving the Joker alive [...]

Jack Shephard Finally Battles the Smoke Monster (Kinda, but Not Really)

The way Matthew Fox’s movie career is going, J.J. Abrams and the Lost gang better wrap that island story up quick, because they might be losing themselves their leading man very soon.

New Punisher: War Zone Movie Posters are Punishingly Shadowy

In Lexi Alexander’s reboot/sorta-sequel to Jonathan Hensleigh’s 2004 “The Punisher”, “War Zone” swaps a leading man and the bright, tropic daylight of Florida for the gritty, filthy alleyways and nights of New York City. Basically, Alexander is giving you Frank Castle in his natural environment. (Seriously, what was Hensleigh thinking with his version of The [...]

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 [...]
