I know it’s a bit early, but mark in your calendars that the sequel to Marvel’s “The Avengers”–currently known as The Avengers 2–will be released May 1, 2015. And in other Marvel-related news, according to Superherohype James Gunn is the front runner to direct “Guardians Of The Galaxy.” I am not quite sure that I […]
I am not the hugest gamer out there, but those that involve elements of fear and paranoia have always been of interest to me. So, it goes without saying, that I have “Dead Space” on both of my iOS devices. I like the look and feel of the game, though I have not worked out […]
Been a slow news day, though I stumbled upon something interesting at SuperHeroHype. According to Joe Carnahan, Fox’s upcoming “Daredevil” reboot is dead on arrival. This isn’t surprising, if it happens to be the case, because the only way that Fox could reboot the franchise would be for them to turn over the rights to […]
“The most fun you will ever have watching a baby getting socked in the face.” Jay Roach’s “The Campaign” is really funny, but it’s also two different movies. The first is hilarious, and deals with Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), who appears to live virtually every stereotype that accompanies being queer, and yet he (somehow) manages […]
There’s a sneak preview being offered by Washington Post Live of Focus Features “ParaNorman” (and with a title like that, how could you not be interested?) for Wednesday, August 15. Sign up as soon as you can and arrive early because these things tend to fill up quick.
You might have heard about the brouhaha between Samsung Electronics and Apple Inc. over Samsung’s (supposedly) stealing Apple’s intellectual property. No matter where you come down in the debate, I have always been of the opinion that the more information you have, the better off you are. You have probably heard a lot about Apple’s […]
I was over at WorstPreviews yesterday, and they had an article saying that the meeting between Marvel and Fox execs was over a co-financing deal for a “Daredevil” reboot. This sounds to me like either deliberate misdirection, or nonsense (though on whose part, I can’t say). The problem for me is: How can Twentieth Century […]
There have recently been rumors milling about that Fox is high on Joe Carnahan relaunching “Daredevil,” though there appears to be a fly in the ointment. That fly being that, unless the film is in production by the 10th of this coming October, the rights to the character revert back to Marvel. This is happening […]
Does anyone recall the film Peter Berg was due to direct before he made the choice–in hindsight, perhaps not a bad decision–to direct Universal’s “Battleship? It was Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi novel “Dune?” A novel, by the way, that since his death seemed to have spawned more sequels than when he was alive. Despite the few […]
I have never been a fan of Facebook, though I have always had difficulty explaining why I feel that giving someone such complete control of everything that I post is (somehow) not a great idea. This reticience coupled with a company that is looking to monetize as much of its users experience as possible isn’t […]
