The Lizard And The Spider

According to the folks and Spiderman.ru and Collider.com, the image to your left is The Lizard, from the upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man.” I tend to believe that it’s accurate because of this. I am not too sure how I feel about it, mainly because he looks too ‘human,’ though it’s hard to tell his size […]

New John Carter Photos

Here’s some new photos from “John Carter,” based upon Edgar Rice Burroughs’s “John Carter: Warlord of Mars” novels. I don’t know about this movie.  I haven’t read the novels it’s based upon, but to me it lacks the spectacle that something that costs in the neighborhood of $250 million should. That’s a lot of cabbage […]

Booster Gold Is Coming To SyFy!

In the name of full disclosure, I am not a huge fan of DC Comics, and am irritated that one of their characters that I do happen to like, Green Lantern, was in such a mediocre movie. Booster Gold, according to the Hollywood Reporter by way of Comic Book Resources, is coming to SyFy. Why […]

Limitless

“Limitless” on one level is a really enjoyable tale about a guy, Edward Morra (Bradley Cooper), who discovers a drug that enables him to use the portion of his mind that in most people goes unused; though I prefer the other, more subversive, unspoken level best.  That movie is the story of a man that, […]

Arrested Development Better Than None At All

Netflix, looking to differentiate themselves from Amazon and Hulu, have begun to develop original series, with an unspoken benefit of a (mild) lessening of the hold that content providers (such as Starz which is pulling their content from the network in 2012) currently have. The development of original series is a smart move for the […]
