The figure to the right of Bryan Singer is a Sentinel, from the director’s upcoming X-Men adventure, “Days Of Future Past” (which is based upon a storyline from the long-running Marvel Comics series). I am not crazy about how the Sentinel looks – especially considering how much better it looks in the comics – though […]
Possibly, though under some certain very specific conditions. Marvel Studios has regained the rights to use characters like Blade, Ghost Rider, Daredevil and The Punisher, though Fox owns not only the rights to use the X-Men in features (which Wolverine is a member) but also the term “mutants” – describing enhanced human beings – as well. And […]
Warner Bros. has revealed that they are going ahead with a Superman & Batman feature, though my question is: How could anybody be surprised by this? At this point DC has only two “viable” characters – as in, almost guaranteed to make a profit – and that’s Superman (as “Man of Steel” has shown”) and […]
I have no idea, though neither does Margaret Lyons over at Vulture.com. She says that Christian Bale is definitely NOT returning to the Batcave. Whatever anyone thinks about Bale – or his temperament – the man is Batman in the same way that Robert Downey, Jr. is Iron Man. But seeing that Downey has not signed up […]
There’s been something about “Man Of Steel” that hasn’t quite sat right with me (beyond the way that killing seems for him seems to come dangerously close to a first-response tactic). Though I don’t have a problem with the idea that he killed, in and of itself – he has done so in the comics, […]
One of the cartoons I grew up on was “Battle Of The Planets,” which featured the adventures of G Force (which, according to Wikipedia I haven’t actually seen at all, which is a really odd feeling), five teenagers with special powers. They are, Mark, Jason (the bad-ass member of the team that seemed to defer […]
Zach Snyder’s “Man Of Steel” is significantly better than I expected, though not nearly as entertaining as it could have been. That’s probably one of the most weasely summations of a film that I have ever written, but it’s fitting. Much is riding on “Man Of Steel” because if it succeeds – and early returns […]
Now this trailer I like, compared to the last one, at any rate. That being said, there are caveats: The most serious being that the Silver Samurai that appears in the trailer seems to be entirely CGI, which makes him look like a really shiny Cylon, instead of a man wearing samurai armor, which is […]
Aaron Taylor-Johnson probably has an awesome agent. I assume that his is the case because he’s starring in the upcoming “Kick-Ass 2,” a reboot of ‘Godzilla” and now it seems that he may be cast as ‘Quicksilver’ in the upcoming sequel to Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers.” Quicksilver is the guy to the right. Hopefully he […]
Now this is what I call a scoop (which I wish were mine;)! Courtesy of thefuriousfanboys.com, here’s the first shot that I have seen of the Winter Soldier from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I don’t even consider myself a fan of the character, but this looks to be crazy accurate. I assume that that’s […]
