That was quick. Thanks to Rafael Dominguez Estrada, who found this on Youtube, despite me having looked for it earlier. The trailer in and of itself looks OK, but the major league actors (Samuel Jackson and Gary Oldman) that look to be playing somewhat “minor” roles reminds me of Christopher Nolan’s casting of Michael Caine […]
Does this sound a bit nutty to anyone else? Zach Snyder, the director of 2013’s “Man Of Steel,” decided that Ben Affleck would play Batman in the upcoming sequel. Now, I am not that crazy about that decision, but what I think is worse is that Tim Nasson has set up a petition to remove […]
Imagine Spider-Man, mixed with the presentation skills of Batman, and you have Antboy (and let’s be honest, being bit by an ant and getting superpowers is just as plausible – and nonsensical – as a radioactive spider). And as critical as I tend to be of how Spider-man managed to create such an awesome costume, […]
As expensive as Batman’s kit is–and it’s very expensive–it doesn’t hold a candle to what it would cost to outfit yourself as Marvel’s Iron Man. For instance, just the Arc reactor alone would cost, according to those enterprising folk at Moneysupermarket.com, a cool $36 million. And while that’s probably reasonable when you consider that it’s […]
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 […]
For me, not quite the event that was “The Avengers,” but a must-see nonetheless (plus, I always go to these things with the hope that I appear for a second on screen–I was an extra on this film–as unlikely as that is in this particular case).
Comic book characters have been on television and in movies for many years, though the publishers of such characters have in the past been more numerous. These days, most superhero films either come from either Marvel Studios (a division of Walt Disney, and based upon characters like Spider-Man, Captain America, The Fantastic Four, Thor, the […]
I like movies–which has more than a little to do with me writing for a movie website–though superhero films hold a special place in my heart. As a kid, when I wasn’t imagining myself as Captain Koenig of Moonbase Alpha, I was a superhero, and Bear Mountain in New York’s Central Park (26 miles of parkland […]
