James Mangold (WALK THE LINE, COP LAND, IDENTITY) will direct since Darren Aronofsky dropped off last... Read More...

BAND OF MISFITS, Aardman Animation's first movie to be released in Digital 3D.  I've always had a soft spot for the guys behind "Wallace and Gromit" and CHICKEN RUN and will certainly check out whatever they do.  The film stars Hugh Grant as the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain...

If you're a comic book fan (and many of you are) and experienced the whole "Death of Superman" event in 1992 like I did, then you likely got wrapped up in the hype to some extent. I was immersed. The fallout after his death was less than stellar and had a massive impact on the comics industry,... Read More...

I actually had no idea this was even happening in the first place, but now the word from would-be-director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. (THE THING remake/prequel/thing) is that the project is officially no...

Well, turns out the information was... Read More...

It had some pretty major hype generating before it was released and then managed to deflate after opening weekend. I remember so many complaints being centered around the fact that it was "too hyped" and did not meet expectations. Personally, I thought it was a fun film. For those who... Read More...
