ZOMBIE MOVIES CAN’T BE KILLED

I’m not in the camp that thinks the zombie genre is oversaturated, at least when it’s done right (but then I wrote a pretty great action-horror spec script involving the rotters, so I suppose I’m biased). And although most of the recent movies featuring the shambling undead deserved to be returned to the grave, the cinematic corpses … Continue reading

CONAN THE RE-IMAGINARIAN

After endless waffling on what to do with the classic muscular sword-swinger, Warner Bros. has apparently decided to reboot Conan the Barbarian, and I’m not talking about giving him snazzy new fur footwear. The studio has handed the head-lopping Crom-worshiper to Boaz Yakin (Remember the Titans), who’ll write and possibly direct a “new take” on … Continue reading

STARGATE: SPIELBERG

He’s dealt with extraterrestrials on a few occasions, but Steven Spielberg has never really ventured off-planet. Now he’s got the intergalactic itch. Spielberg is working on a movie at Paramount that will follow a group of space explorers who zoom through a wormhole and find themselves in another dimension (thereby faring better than Maximilian Schell). … Continue reading

ROSELYN SANCHEZ IS GORGEOUS

Puerto Rican combustion goddess Roselyn Sanchez is taking the position of tight end in the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s new football flick The Game Plan, which I’ve actually never heard of until now but has certainly caught the interest of my pants. Rock isn’t straying too far from his football background, following up Gridiron Gang … Continue reading

THOR’S COMIC COLUMN

DC’s New Wonder Woman Is a Wonder Indeed By Devon Sanders The public has seen you slice The Man of Steel’s throat on live television. They’ve seen you kill a man in order to save the lives of others. Your gods have abandoned you. Those you once counted upon as you would brothers & sisters … Continue reading

THE MOST VIOLENTEST THING EVER?

When new publisher Virgin Comics (a hilariously ironic company name, considering their target market) was first announced, it seemed like their initial focus would be material from India, with guys like author Deepak Chopra and filmmaker Shekar Kapur involved. But even though the comic industry basically now exists just for high-profile corporate crossovers and providing properties … Continue reading
