This has got to be one of the most interesting casting decisions I have seen in awhile. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lawrence Fishburne is playing Perry White in Zach Snyder’s “Man of Steel,” his reboot/reimaging of Superman. He’s definitely got the presence (and gravitas to spare) for the role, though I am concerned what […]
Edited 12/26 1227 You have got to be kidding me. According to ComicBookMovie.com, Jeff Robinov, film group president of Warner Brothers, says that they’re planning for a Green Lantern 2; though why do I get the feeling that this is nothing more than hubris, as opposed to having any shot of actually being done? In […]
The original “Planet of the Apes” was based upon the novel, “La Planète des Singes,” by Pierre Boulle, with a screenplay by Rod Sterling (“Requiem for a Heavyweight,” “The Twilight Zone,” “Night Gallery,” etc). The original film, I can’t speak as much about the sequels (Beneath the Planet of the Apes, “Escape From the Planet […]

Edited 7/29 2156 2158 2200 When I heard that Joe Cornish’s “Attack The Block” would be opening today, I assumed that it was nationwide. It appears that this is not the case, though there was a sneak preview in Washington, DC a month or two ago. Despite seemingly skirting the DC region, it has opened in […]
I was doing a bit of reading , where I learned from Gerry Anderson’s Wikipedia page–not exactly the first place I check for news, though they do well with things that aren’t in any way divisive–that he’s got back the rights to the “Thunderbirds.” While I don’t know what the odds are that he can […]
I was planning to see “Cowboys & Aliens” tomorrow, till I learned that “Attack The Block” is coming out the same day. I missed the sneak preview–through no fault of my own, unlike “X-Men: First Class”–so I think that I owe it to myself to catch it. So, “Cowboys & Aliens” will have to wait.
