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 [...]

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 [...]

I don’t speak Russian, but here’s the international trailer for Wanted. Be warned, other countries aren’t as prudish as we are here, so the trailer is graphic. View at your own risk.  This actually makes me want to see the movie more now, than the previous theatrical trailer that I’ve seen.  See it after [...]

Almost a year ago, we talked about Lawrence Fishburne’s production company trying to purchase the movie rights to The Alchemist (CLICK HERE TO READ).  He was going to produce, direct and star in the film adaptation of the popular novel.  Well, it’s being reported that Fisburne has teamed up with Harvey Weinstein to produce the [...]

Once again, Samuel L. Jackson has taken another comic book character role.  This time he’s going to play The Octopus in Frank Miller’s The Spirit.  The Octopus is the villain in the comic book The Spirit.  The Spirit was created in the 1940’s by Will Eisner.  It’s sort of like a cross between Batman and [...]
