Remember that Green Arrow TV show that Greg Berlanti is writing–if for my seemingly endless whining, if nothing else–that I mentioned a week or so ago? It’s been green lit, pardon the pun, for a pilot on the CW network, to be called “Arrow.” I am not quite sure why the “Green” part is being […]
According to Cnet.com, Hulu has a 13-episode commitment to “Battleground,” a comedy about a primary campaign for a Wisconsin Senate seat, “A Week In The Life,” a 10-episode documentary series about famous people, and a so-far unnamed travelogue series from Richard Linklater. Streaming services like Netflix and Hulu are developing original content in order to […]
“Green Lantern,” a film that should have been the first salvo of DC Comics assault on the box office, and Marvel Studios, has almost reached the $220 million mark worldwide. That’s a lot of money, though when your production budget is $200 million, we aren’t necessarily talking about sequel material, despite what Warner Bros. says (by the […]
Tobe Hooper is back with “Djinn,” and while he is a talented director, he’s also somewhat erratic in terms of the quality of his output. There’s a lot of debate over whether he directed “Poltergeist,” which looks like a typical Steven Spielberg film (other than the subject matter), though that could be due to the […]
Twentieth Century Fox is re-releasing George Lucas’s “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” in 3D in 2012, according to The New York Times. Is such a move going to help the current box office slump? This makes me wonder: Is adding another dimension to a pretty mediocre movie really going to make a […]

If that makes any sense. That last scene on the cliff face, with Snake Eyes and the red-dressed Cobra ninjas (speaking of which, why would a ninja, […]
Liam Neeson vs. Nature. Nature doesn’t stand a chance.
Many blogs, this one included, have commented upon how difficult it is to understand Bane (Tom Hardy) from the trailers so far released from Christopher Nolan’s upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises.” It seems that Nolan was aware of the sound problem was well, though the approach he has taken is a somewhat novel one. Here’s […]
I don’t think that I posted this, so here goes. I do so not because I expect the film to be that good–I don’t–but because I dig the genre. That being said, how is it that Selene was able to be captured by humans? If you take a look at the trailer, she makes short […]
The web site for Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” has been live for a few days now, and from what I have heard about the film–beyond a basic plot synopsis–I find disappointing because it appears that they’re going to tackle his origin. Again. For the most part I enjoyed Sam Raimi’s take on the character–with […]
