The Full ‘Avengers’ Trailer Is Here!

The trailer for Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers” is here, and it kicks all kind of arse.  It looks remarkable, and just the thought of such iconic Marvel characters on screen at the same time is the stuff that fanboy dreams are made of. Which is why it’s somewhat ironic that the poster sucks so much […]

‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ on PS3

 Sony’s upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man’s” main baddie is The Lizard, who was never one of my favorite villains in the Spider-man canon (I have never really thought why, though it probably has something to do with him being little more than The Hulk, with scales). If the film makers weren’t going to go with Mysterio, […]

Edgar Wright to Helm Disney’s ‘Nightstalker’

Edgar Wright, whose last film, “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World,” underwhelmed at the box office, will be directing “The Night Stalker,” with Johnny Depp playing the role of Carl Kolchak (a role originally made famous by Darren McGavin). This is great news, because Wright is an excellent director, though it makes me wonder what’s happening […]

Brian’s ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’ Review

“If you value your very soul (or at least your hard-earned cash) see “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance” only from the relative safety of cable, Netflix or Redbox (when it’s available).” I wanted to like Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor’s “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance” because I thought that Mark Steven Johnson’s original film wasn’t […]

‘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? It will probably be […]

Super Bowl XLVI Movie Trailers

With companies–literally–spending millions of dollars for a 30-second spot during the Super Bowl, some may wonder what they’re spending the money on. That answer is: viewers. Despite huge costs to advertise during the game, Super Bowl XLV in 2011 brought in 111 million viewers. That’s a huge amount of eyes glued to the screen, which […]

The ‘Arrow’ in the CW’s Quiver is…

Accordimg to Deadline, in the CW’s “Arrow,” based upon Green Arrow, an emerald-costumed archer from DC Comics, the title character is being played by Stephen Amell.   I recall him from “Screamers: The Hunting,” and hope that he brings more to the role than than what he exhibited in that film, which was a woodenness that […]
