New Releases:
For those of you titillated by the recent advertising push for Zack Snyder’s “Sucker Punch” – with its series of trailers and one-sheets featuring gorgeous young actresses attired in skin-tight, cleavage-bearing outfits – I feel it’s only fair to warn you of the fact that you won’t be ...
Based on the trailer alone, it would seem that “Sucker Punch” – the latest spectacle-heavy film from “300” and “Watchmen” director Zack Snyder – has just about everything one could want in a fantasy/sci-fi/action film: Explosions! Firepower! Hot girls! Hot girls with machine guns! WW...
As we start to see more and more of Zack Snyder’s imaginative, bizarre "Sucker Punch", we’re still not entirely sure what the heck it’s about, but we like what we see. Snyder debuted a series of disjointed scenes for the Hall H crowd at Comic-Con last week along with a new trailer.

Kenneth Branagh is an intriguing if only somewhat surprising choice as the director of Thor, arguably the most ambitious project yet from Marvel films (that is, until Avengers).

Some comic heroes, such as Superman and Batman, seem a natural for adaptation on the silver screen. Others require a bit more doing in terms of the technological elements and the budgetary concerns tied to that. Green Lantern, one of the premiere characters of the DC Universe, falls into this latter...

One of the most common refrains you’ll hear from talent involved in promoting an upcoming film – despite whatever ugly truths may come out in the press later on – is a phrase that usually goes a little something like this: “We were like one big happy family on set.” While it’s a sentimen...
First off, director Jonathan Liebesman would like to make one thing perfectly clear: his latest film, the sci-fi action spectacular "Battle: Los Angeles", is "not" "Independence Day". You won’t see the Hollywood sign getting vaporized by an alien death ray. The buildings of downtown Los Angeles wo...
