‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn’ Trailer
The trailer for Twilight: Breaking Dawn just posted, and to show how mature I am I will avoid any obvious–though inevitable–jokes that could stem from the title.

I live in the District of Columbia, and currently on hiatus from university. I enjoy various types of film, though that enjoyment tends to increase exponentially if there is a spaceship or an alien thereabout.
John Carpenter Returns
John Carpenter, who hasn’t released a film since 2005’s “Ghosts of Mars,” (a Screen Gems release that underwhelmed at the box office), is back with “The Ward.” There are some that think that John Carpenter’s best days are behind him, though as far as I am concerned he remains a brilliant director. Sure, he tends […]
New-Gen: New Player in Town?
Comic book characters have been on television and in movies for many years, though the publishers of such characters have in the past been more numerous. These days, most superhero films either come from either Marvel Studios (a division of Walt Disney, and based upon characters like Spider-Man, Captain America, The Fantastic Four, Thor, the […]
Eating Crow? Or Perhaps Hawk?
Last week, I posted a parody by Frog Island of a meeting of various superheroes, where Hawkman was the butt of ridicule because no studio was willing to make a movie starring him. Personally, I think that Hawkman is a neat character (though his costume does resemble some sort of S&M wear). Well, according to […]
Has Warner Brothers Abandoned ‘Akira?’
First, Keanu Reeves decided not the take a lead role in Warner Brothers’ “Akira,” and now Albert Hughes, one half of the Hughes Brothers producing/directing team, has left the film. Supposedly his leaving the project was amicable, but the project–collapsing in such a fashion–seems a bit unusual. Then there was Warner’s attempt to get other […]
‘X-Men: First Class’ App Released
“X-Men: First Class” is coming to theaters June 3rd, to commemorate Twentieth-Century Fox is introducing “X-Men EXTRA”, an app that claims to put the viewer “…in the middle of history’s most defining–and top secret–moments. At the moment it’s available only for iPad.
A Bunch Of Superheroes Meet In A Bar…
That sounds like the opening for a joke, though think about it for a moment: Superheroes probably want a drink sometimes (though not Tony Stark. He has problems knowing when to say “when”, if you know what I mean), so where would they go? This clip, couresy of Frog Island, answers that burning question. By the way, […]
Mea Culpa
‘Mea culpa’ is a Latin word which means: an acknowledgment of one’s fault or error. I am referring to my attempt to catch “Attack The Block” yesterday; the operative word being “attempt.” As you can see from the screening pass, the showing was at 1930; I assumed that arriving a half-hour earlier would be enough. […]
Should ‘Riddick’ Sequel Be Rated ‘R’ Or ‘PG’
Vin Diesel is discussing with the French press the possibility of a sequel to “The Chronicles of Riddick.” Notice that the interview was recorded two years ago, which gives you an idea how long it takes to get a project, even an established one, off the ground I am a fan of “Pitch Black,” and […]
‘Attack The Block’ Trailer
Here’s the trailer for the upcoming kids vs. aliens thriller (think E.T. with a very bad attitude. And teeth) “Attack The Block” from Joe Cornish, a frequent collaborator with Edgar Wright (both of whom worked on the screenplay for the upcoming “The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn” for Dreamworks, and “Ant-Man”, for […]
