It took a while to get around to seeing this movie.  Too bad I could have just avoided it all together.  I can’t possible spoil anything for you about this movie since we know how the clone wars end, and since it takes place between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, we [...]

The Oni Press graphic novel “Julius” was picked up by Mandalay Pictures for the big screen treatment.  F. Gary Gray (Be Cool, A Man Apart, The Italian Job) has been attached as director.  I think this is a great choice if this gets done.  “Julius” is a urban retelling of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar.” [...]

With a release date of May 1, 2009, Wolverine is the highly anticipated spinoff of the popular X-Men series.  I don’t have much to say about this other than if they put as much effort into this as they did the 3 X-Men movies, then it should be pretty good.  Here’s a promotional picture.

I initially had my reservations about this movie.  After seeing it, I was really impressed with the action stunts.  First, let me get the comparison to the graphic novel out of the way.  The movie deviated from a good deal of the story without actually changing the main overall plot and theme of the story.  [...]
