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 [...]

August 21st, 2008 · Comments
Source: Variety
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.” [...]

The O’Connells return for the third installment of the highly anticipated third movie of the Mummy series. Rick and Evelyn O’Connell return to face the Dragon Empreror Han (Jet Li) who was raised from the dead by a now adult Alex.

Batman: Gotham Knight
July 23rd, 2008 · Comments
It’s been a while since we’ve done a DVD recommendation. But yesterday, I watched Batman: Gotham Knight. This is a compliation of six anime-style movie shorts that bridge the gap between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. I was really impressed with the animation style of the 6 different vignettes and the stories. I [...]

(Not so) Quick Review: The Dark Knight
July 18th, 2008 · Comments
This will be the easiest review that I’ve written so far. Simply put, this is the best comic book movie ever. Everything was exactly as it should be. The acting, the minimalist effects, the pacing and the writing were all superb. Heath Ledger’s Joker was terrifying. He was exactly as the Joker is portrayed in [...]
Quick Review: Hancock
July 9th, 2008 · Comments
I saw Hancock the other day, and there’s no doubt in my mind that Will Smith is now the biggest movie star on the planet. Even a mediocre film such as this drew huge crowds and posted huge numbers. I went on Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 PM and the theater was packed. Go figure. The [...]

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.

Quick Review: Wanted
June 30th, 2008 · Comments
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. [...]
The Fox and Halle Berry
June 25th, 2008 · Comments
No, it’s not a fairy tale or a Aesop’s Fable, its about Wanted’s Fox and Halle Berry. Recently, I had a discussion with someone who talked about how much The Fox in the graphic novel Wanted looked like Halle Berry in Catwoman. But I pointed out that Wanted was out before Catwoman. But I concede [...]
