Let’s get this out of the way right now: I loved this movie when it was first released. It’s one of my favorite graphic novel/comic stories, and I’d been heavily anticipating it since the first trailer was put out with The Dark Knight. I saw 3 times in the theatre, and for an almost 3 …

When it comes to adaptations, do you think the producers involved should assume more than a baseline knowledge of the original material? If the Paul W.S. Anderson Resident Evil feature films, Gearbox/TimeGate Aliens video games, and Scott Ciencin Silent Hill comic books have taught us anything, it’s that no adaptation should be thrown under the …

Pop culture is a funny thing. It invades almost every moment of our lives, to the point that now we compare our real lives to the fictional ones we’ve read/seen/heard. How many times a day do you quote The Simpsons, use a song lyric as a way to get across an idea, say something like …

With video game movies being notoriously bad, do you think there is a game that would make a good adaptation?

Flash: The Fastest Man Alive First off I know this wouldn’t happen because I want to take the show Arrow and use aspects of it, which could confuse people who don’t watch it or the none “hardcore” fans. Basically I would use the show for an episode or two to kind of set up the …

All the pretty lights and amazing music in the world won’t be able to overcome a lackluster plot and awful dialogue. Tron: Legacy is the poster child for this. With wonderful production design, very well-done 3D, a built-in audience nostalgic for the original, and a fantastic score by Daft Punk, the sequel to 1982′s Tron …

DMX April is rocking and rolling along. “Romeo Must Die” proved to be an enjoyable movie, but very lite on the actual DMX element. Let’s hope that “Exit Wounds” has a bit more of the Dog Man for our liking. As always, we’re going to head to the rule book! Arm Breaker- For every broken …
