Henry Cavil seems like a very charismatic actor, but is he mighty enough to carry a franchise? I am deliberately not including the Superman reboot, “Man of Steel” – you don’t carry films with Superman, Batman or Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr. may be the exception), they carry you – but because Cavil is in […]
Still not too crazy about Zack Snyder’s “Man Of Steel.” Part of it has to do with my preference for Marvel heroes, though that does not mean that I want DC characters not to do well. Besides, if they have enough success, maybe they’ll get around to making a feature or two about characters I […]
Feeling kinda ‘meh’ about “The Wolverine.” The only thing that interests me is Silver Samurai – there are a few shots of him in the trailer – and all he is is a guy in silver samurai armor. I guess what interests me is how faithful they are to the comic character.
While I have no hate for Zach Braff or Rob Thomas, the creator of “Veronica Mars,” this is what a Kickstarter should be. The Kickstarter campaign for Armand Villavert Jr. and Mark Andrew Smith’s (the writer of the awesome “Sullivan’s Sluggers,” a graphic novel that somehow managed to successfully tie together two of America’s greatest […]
I don’t normally post trailers for TV shows, but when those shows involve Marvel properties – or truth be told, anything that interests me – post them I shall! Seeing that this is a teaser trailer you can’t necessarily say that how it reflects on the upcoming series, though it looks pretty good. Though I […]
“Iron Man 3″ Is The Superhero Film Quentin Tarantino Would Direct, If He Had Directed A Superhero Film” The biggest problem I had with with Jon Favreau’s “Iron Man 2” was that the filmmakers decided to pit Iron Man against another armored character, just like in the first film (though there was also the way […]
Here’s the latest trailer – thanks Deadline – that came from the same place as the latest “Pacific Rim” trailer. Which is CinemaCon, not Comic-con, by the way. In it Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is doing all sorts of stuff, much of it involving either his claws, or a threatening grimace. We finally get some shots […]
There are rumors that Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch are going to be in ‘Avengers 2,’ though I have to ask why, especially when they’re two of the most uninteresting characters – in my not-so-humble opinion – in the Marvel canon. Why don’t they go in another direction, and leave the Maximoffs to Fox (both […]
I don’t want to like this movie. I am a Marvel fanboy and think that Superman is rather lame. Even lamer is David Goyer, who I will forever remember as the many who killed ‘Blade,” and was too arrogant to say “I’m sorry. I f%cked up.” Christopher Nolan produced the movie, whom I also don’t […]
Working with DC Comics’ We Can Be Heroes campaign, a relief effort to fight hunger in the Horn of Africa, Kia created a number of custom vehicles for the 2013 New York Auto Show. The vehicles are designed with styling queues from iconic DC superheroes like Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, and Aquaman. The cause that […]
