Today's edition of Entertainment Weekly will premiere a shot of Dr. Doom from the upcoming Fantastic Four film. This isn't a publicity shot but an actual picture of the character as he appears in the film. I hate to pile onto this film – the last time I heard… Continue reading
A sloppy mix of legend and half researched fact, yet another teaming between Nic Cage and Jerry Bruckheimer, a movie full of slow motion and blaring “excitement” music, National Treasure is exactly the sort of film I hate. But somehow, instead of finding… Continue reading
I don't even know how to respond to the news that Cabin Fever filmmaker Eli Roth is co-producing the Baywatch movie. I mean, I know enough about the film business (I think) to realize that not every producer on a project is actually doing much of anything… Continue reading
How much does it suck that Alan Moore's seminal graphic novel from twenty years ago, V for Vendetta, seems more relevant to us in America now then ever before? The story of an England that is under serious repression and the lone man who dresses up in a funny… Continue reading

Into the breach goes Warner Bros, sending their mega-expensive adaptation of the beloved children's book The Polar Express against the juggernaut that is Pixar's The Incredibles. Of course this isn't a blind shot – they do happen to have Tom Hanks in the… Continue reading
As the mysterious and dangerous man of action Dave Davis informed you last week (right here), there's yet another Hannibal book coming out, and I ain't talking A-Team or elephants. Thomas Harris is making a naked play for bucks by writing a prequel to all the… Continue reading
