When all else fails…they might not?

SlashFilm recently posted a review of the infamous recent test screening of G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra.  Click the link for the full review, but here’s the jist: As far as Sommers’ being shit-canned, I wouldn’t be surprised after seeing the rough cut; it’s not exactly on par with the Paramount/summer blockbuster standard established with […]

Yup…told you. Steve Rogers is back.

Shocking absolutely no one, Marvel revealed today to the NY Daily News that Steve Rogers, Captain America, is coming back from the dead. “The original Captain America is finally coming back,” Marvel Comics editor in chief Joe Quesada told the Daily News. “We’ve been patiently planning for this moment for 21/2 years.” Captain America will […]

Kids go to the woods…KIDS GET DEAD!

I love stories like this.  Shot for a budget of $10,000 and shot in Orange County, NY, Kids Get Dead is a new independent horror film that’s not only an homage to slashers like Friday the 13th, but also to shows like USA Up All Night, and the experience of recording old movies on VHS […]

Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan talk about THE STRAIN!

The Canyon Trailer!

Remember that film The Canyon that I told you about the other day, with Yvonne Strahovski, the hot chick from Chuck?  Apparently it also has Will Patton from Armageddon!  Twitch Film premiered the trailer and…it’s not quite what I was hoping for.  Definitely more thriller than anything else, this looks a lot less like A […]

Marcus Nispel to direct Conan!

Marcus Nispel, who’s great directing has been seen in Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, has been signed to direct the upcoming Conan movie from Nu Image/Millenium films.  While I’d normally think this is good news, I hear his film Pathfinder, which, honestly, looked kind of like a Conan film, was pretty bad. According […]

Macaps: Red Robin #1 and Batman #687!

This week saw the release of the next two titles in DC’s relaunch of the Batman titles, Red Robin and Batman, with new and exciting creative teams and directions and, most importantly, a new man under the cowl.  How did they measure up with last week’s Batman and Robin #1, from Grant Morrison and Frank […]
