Marvel Has Cast Their First Guardian Of The Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy is the biggest question mark when it comes to Marvel’s Phase Two slate, but with James Gunn directing I’m very, very excited for the first big screen adventure of Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon. The casting of Star-Lord, aka Peter Quill, a human astronaut chosen to become an inter-galactic policeman, has been [...]

You’ll Believe A Man Can Fly After Seeing This “Man of Steel” Trailer
The Superman character has always struck me as a perfect romantic mixture of hope and tragedy, and while I love the Richard Donner films and a few key sequences in Superman Returns, the only Superman story that did that balance justice was Tom De Haven’s novel It’s Superman!, a work that looks to have inspired [...]

Jamie Foxx Is Electro In “Amazing Spider-Man 2″
I wasn’t too hot on Amazing Spider-Man, and one of the main issues I had with the film was Sony’s lack of risk taking with the material. I have my fingers crossed for the sequel, but I can’t get my hopes too high. So keep that in mind while I deliver a lukewarm reaction to [...]

Who Will Direct “X-Men: Days of Future Past”?
Earlier this week rumors brewed that Matthew Vaughn was unhappy with the way the sequel to First Class was going and was inches away from quitting. A counter rumor quickly leaked that if Vaughn did so Fox would be more than happy to hire Bryan Singer, the man who directed the first two X-Men pictures [...]

“The Wolverine” Has A Great Poster
Fox held a live chat with Hugh Jackman and director James Mangold to give a behind the scenes look at next year’s The Wolverine, and most of it is the standard bright and cheery publicity nonsense. We did learn that the film would be in 3D though, and we also learned the film would actually [...]

Tony Stark’s In Trouble In The First “Iron Man 3″ Trailer
Iron Man is my least favorite Marvel franchise, but even I’m intrigued by that trailer. It helps knowing Shane Black is taking the directorial reigns from Jon Favreau for this entry in the Stark saga. Favs would make a great car commercial director, and the first Iron Man was basically a car commercial when you [...]

Disney recently sent out an update on the Marvel slate, and along with the boring news that Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: Winter Soldier would be in 3D came the news that Ant-Man has a release date: November 6, 2015. Yep, we’re just three years away from Hank Pym making his theatrical debut. [...]

Good Grief: Fox Animation Is Set To Make A “Peanuts” Film
I’m well aware that Charles Schultz took plenty of opportunities to use the Peanuts gang for financial gain. For every Great Pumpkin there’s a Flashbeagle. These characters aren’t sacred. But they are American icons, the closest thing we’ve got to rival Europe’s fascination with Tintin, and it’s really weird to read the news that 20th [...]

BluRay Review: “The Dark Knight Returns: Part One”
The one-two punch of Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns simultaneously revived and destroyed comics in the late 80s, and as long as Hollywood has been adapting comics into films fans have been clamoring for an adaptation of these seminal works. In 2009, Watchmen hit the big screen and proved there was a market for DC Comics’ famous tales, [...]
