‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Trailer

“The Amazing Spider-Man” trailer is up, and watching it makes me ask:  Why?  As far as I can tell Marc Webb’s reboot doesn’t appear to be bringing anything new to the party.  Now keep in mind that it’s just a trailer, but how is it significantly different that Sam Raimi’s version?

According to Deadline, Alcon Entertainment, the house working with Ridley Scott to bring Blade Runner back to theaters, is DENYING that Harrison Ford will return to the role of Rick Deckard, which he made famous in the original film.

‘The Munsters’ Return to ‘Mockingbird Lane’

A new version of “The Munsters” being developed by  Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, Heroes), and directed by Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects, X-Men, X-Men United, and the upcoming “Jack, The Giant Killer”) will be called “Mockingbird Lane.” My problem with this concept, besides verifying a suspicion I have had for awhile that Hollywood is bereft […]
