When you were young, at some time you probably imagined yourself to be a superhero. Maybe one day you’d be Spider-Man, Captain America or maybe the next Superman. Or Wonder Woman, or Storm. Though perhaps Batman was one of your favorites. When you were young, all you needed was maybe a towel to serve as […]
I recently read that Breck Eisner is going to make a movie based on Stretch Armstrong, a stretchable (i.e., the name), pliable, and extremely bendable toy from Hasbro (the same company that created the Transformers and G.I. Joe). I remember playing with one when I was a kid. I also remember being very interested in […]
A few days ago I posted that The Fixx had released their first studio album, “Beautiful Friction,” in almost a decade, and it definitely worth the wait. It’s different than anything they produced before, and is interesting and thought-provoking in the way that The Fixx has always been. I purchased my copy from eMusic, and […]
After Shane (Jon Bernthal) left AMC’s zombie serial “The Walking Dead,” I assumed that the desire for other members of the cast to leave was over. It appears that I may have been wrong, because Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori) may be the next to depart. She doesn’t actually say that she is, but it’s relatively […]
“”The Dark Knight Rises” is an engaging film, but in the end it’s too grounded in the real to soar.” The devastating events in Aurora, Colorado have cast a pall over the launch of Warner Bros. “The Dark Knight Rises,” though if box office receipts are any indicator, the film is weathering the adverse publicity […]
Here’s a teaser for Zach Snyder‘s “Man of Steel,” Warner’s reboot of the Superman franchise that is being overseen by Christopher Nolan (“The Dark Knight Rises”). Too much of it looks like “The Perfect Storm” crossed with a jeans commercial, though the flying scene at the end, complete with breaking the sound barrier, is kinda […]
I don’t know if it’s the beer, I purchased my first six pack of Yuengling Traditional Lager (not bad, though a little bland for my tastes. It would make a great beer on a hot day, though) today, but “Creature” isn’t nearly as bad as all the negative reviews would lead you to believe. The cinematography is […]
Thomas Jane strikes me as a really neat guy, mainly because he seems to care about things. This interests me because, for afar, it often seems that many actors do what they can to isolate themselves from their fans to such a degree that they appear as cyphers. Not Jane. He’s also not afraid to […]
The latest album from The Fixx, Beautiful Friction, is their first studio album in nine years, and it’s good to hear that they’re back in fine form, though with a caveat: This is not your father’s Fixx because this is some of the most guitar-heavy music to ever come from the band. The album was […]
I don’t know how true this is, but supposedly Anthony Mackie is in the running to play the Falcon in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which reminded me that Marvel, in my humble opinion, has missed opportunities to introduce or use African-American characters before. And I get that the Ultimates version of Nick Fury happens to […]
