I have no idea, though neither does Margaret Lyons over at Vulture.com. She says that Christian Bale is definitely NOT returning to the Batcave. Whatever anyone thinks about Bale – or his temperament – the man is Batman in the same way that Robert Downey, Jr. is Iron Man. But seeing that Downey has not signed up […]
I don’t want to like this movie. I am a Marvel fanboy and think that Superman is rather lame. Even lamer is David Goyer, who I will forever remember as the many who killed ‘Blade,” and was too arrogant to say “I’m sorry. I f%cked up.” Christopher Nolan produced the movie, whom I also don’t […]
Stan Lee is obviously a talented man. He’s had a hand in the creation of some of the most enduring characters in the Marvel Universe, like Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, and even some from DC Comics as well. That being the case, why is it that he can’t seem to do anything lasting […]
A movie named “Big Ass Spider” probably doesn’t put one in the mind of “Remains of the Day” or “The King’s Speech;” which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. What it does do is to remind me of those Saturday afternoon matinee-type movies that came on Channel 11 (WPIX) in Manhattan when I was growing up, […]
I wish that people, be they directors or anyone else, would just stop talking about how serious or realistic their comic book-based movies are. It’s not only tiring, but it makes no sense at all. For instance, over at Collider there’s an interview with Zach Snyder, the director of the upcoming “Man of Steel,” and […]
Zach Snyder’s “Man Of Steel” (and it isn’t an accident that it’s called that, as opposed to ‘Superman’ because I suspect that his humanity will be emphasized more than his virtual godhood, until things need to be blowed up good! Real good!) is supposedly going to be more “realistic” than past interpretations, though the only way […]
“”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 […]
Today a new trailer for Christopher Nolan’s “Batman Rises,” was released, and despite being confident that I will not appear in it–despite being an extra–I intend to see it. It will be interesting to see if it manages to knock “The Avengers” off the perch it has come to occupy for the past three weeks […]
The third trailer for Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises” came out a few days ago, and while it took me a few days to post it, possibly due to my current fixation with “The Avengers.” It strikes a certain mood, but other than the moulded rubber suits, has little in common with Marvel’s film, […]
