  • Star Trek is a Star Trek film for people who hate Star Trek Star Trek is a Star Trek film for people who hate Star Trek

    Yes, Star Trek has debuted to overwhelming praise.  Yes, I am in the minority here.  However, I think there is a point to be made about this film and why it isn’t exactly in spirit with Star Trek.  A few notes first, however.  I am not a Trekkie or Trekker, though I have enjoy...

  • Two new Dark Knight TV spots feature unseen footage

    It's difficult to image that after twenty years the world is finally getting a new Indiana Jones film and it isn't the most hyped film of the summer.  That's the breaks, however, and instead movie fans are going ga-ga over The Dark Knight.  If you're one of these rabid fans, then you mig...

  • Will The Dark Knight's real Two Face please step forward? Will The Dark Knight’s real Two Face please step forward?

    While Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker has been getting most of the headlines from this summer's Batman Begins sequel, Two Face is certainly coming on strong.  The thing is, the buzz isn't so much about Aaron Eckhart's performance as Harvey Dent as it is about his eventual look as alte...

  • Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe trailer

    One supposes that Midway had the trailer for this title all ready to go about two weeks ago, but then somebody pointed out no one would take it seriously launching around April 1.  Now, two weeks later and there's hardly a soul that can believe it, still.  Seriously, while comics are...

  • Batman gets Blu-ray cover art

    The other day there was a very weird press release for the Blu-ray release of Batman: The Movie.  Weird, because who was really clamoring for Batman: The Movie on Blu-ray?  Not only that, but it featured a truckload of extras.  Now comes this first look at the cover art for the dis...

  • New images of the Joker emerge (spoilers)

    There isn't a whole lot to say about these new images, other than avoid them at all costs if you're the least bit worried about having any part of the film spoiled.  Honestly, there isn't a whole lot to them, but for diehards that's still probably too much.  It is interesting to see tha...

  • Cheesy old 60s Batman movie coming to Blu-ray

    There are some news stories that simply catch you out of left field, and knock you for a loop.  The announcement of Batman: The Movie coming to Blu-ray this year is one of those.  Just for those who are confused, this is the film version of the classic, campy 1960s television series sta...

  • Ledger’s Joker wows them at ShoWest

    Heath Ledger's final performance has had many buzzing long before the actor's death.  His Joker is seen by many as a revelation of the character--creepy and crazy at the same time.  At the recent ShoWest convention for theater owners, many in the crowd were wowed by a short clip featuring Le...

  • The Dark Knight is an indie film with a big budget

    That's the gist of a new profile of the film and director Christopher Nolan that appeared in The New York Times. Essentially, the argument is that Nolan has changed little to nothing of his directing style between his indie roots and his big budget studio pictures. He still shoots every shot him...

  • The Joker endorses Hillary Clinton

    Here's an interesting dilemma. Is it good, or bad, to be endorsed by the Joker when running for president? If this were the newest Batman film, that answer would undoubtedly be bad. However, this is the real world, and the Joker in this case is Jack Nicholson. Like him or hate him (or her), yo...
