The experiment of surprising each other with discussion topics took a horrible turn this week, when Matt sprung a Director feature on Fiona and Elroy. Much like the man’s movies, the team’s attempt to discuss the work of Michael Bay ended up being something of a train wreak. While convalescence on the couch this week, [...]
Something that I’ve harped on about for a while now is the fact that Marvel has taken control over the way that their intellectual property is adapted to film (particularly since the five and a quarter million dollar credit arrangement was secured between Marvel Studios and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.), and how this will [...]
To some degree X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE has me more excited than all three previous X-Men movies managed; particularly because Logan, in my mind, is probably the most interesting of all the X-Men. But the film isn’t scheduled for release until May next year and while it has begun filming there is still a lot that [...]
Two bits of news that made me smile today: Firstly I had my second follow up with the eye surgeon this morning and he’s extremely happy with the progress that my eye is making. The vision is starting to reach a point where it rivals the former ability of my eye; given that it has [...]
You’d have to go a long way (or at least load up a few forum pages) before you find anyone who disagrees with the notion that X-Men III (The Last Stand) is the weakest of the X-Men movies. So too would you have to do quite a bit of surfing to find anyone who doesn’t [...]
With all the Christmas hub-bub and the clocking up of kilometres, visiting the family, going on lately I’ve barely had a chance to keep up with the stuff that really matters… Sci-fi movie news. But, to be honest, it hasn’t all been silly season doom and gloom, while I was off in the country visiting [...]
With all the focus being fixed firmly on Brian Singer’s latest resume entry it kind of slipped through the cracks that Singer suggested one of his other pet projects may have ended up shelved or, even worse, handed off to another director. Singer has been enthusiastic about Logan’s Run for seemingly as long as the [...]
In typical ‘God hates elroy’ style I was stuck in meetings all day yesterday, so I didn’t get a chance to slip into my blue and red pajamas and hit the cinema to see Superman Returns. My absence doesn’t seem to have hurt the box office numbers for the man of steal’s opening day, which [...]
While I can’t say that I’m all that familiar with the Marvel character Black Widow I was interested to read that Lionsgate has scrapped plans for a movie based on the character. Evidently, since the introduction of the character back in the early seventies, there have been a couple of Black Widow’s. Initially being portrayed [...]
In what can only be described as ‘A huge friggin let down’, Kate Beckinsale has denied that she’ll be playing the lead in Joss Whedon’s upcoming Wonder Woman. Not only is it a let down because, lets face it, Kate would make a pretty wicked Wonder Woman, but now we’re back into rampant geek speculation [...]
