WHICH BLADE IS THAT AGAIN?

The Witchblade cable series may have gone to the superhero graveyard to join M.A.N.T.I.S., Night Man and Black Scorpion, but it turns out that gal still has quite a pair. Of movies, that is. Top Cow’s long-running comic book is getting back-to-back feature films courtesy of IDG Films, Relativity Media and Cow partners Platinum Studios. … Continue reading

THOR’S COMIC COLUMN

"Marvel Zombies" Is A Gross-Out Comedy The Farrelly Brothers Could Only Dream Of Making By Rob Glenn I have to admit that I removed Ultimate Fantastic Four from my pull list a couple of months ago.  I was frustrated by the velocity in which the stories flew by.  See, one of the strengths that the … Continue reading

SNAKES + PLANE = SUCCESS?

I remember how thrilled we were around here at the announcement of Snakes on a Plane. Just the idea that a major studio (New Line, who rescued it from turnaround at remake king Paramount) would have the rocks to release a major movie with such a flagrantly cheesy title demanded respect. And even though they … Continue reading

TRAILER: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III

It seems like forever since Tom Cruise engaged in motorcycle-fu with the guy who was almost Wolverine, but now he’s back once again to upstage Ving Rhames and other members of his Impossible Mission Force. Still no clue as to what Mission Impossible III is about, but it apparently revolves around Philip Seymour Hoffman being eeeeevil, and … Continue reading

TEASING EUREKA

There’s a shortage of quality science-fiction on the air, but Andy Cosby’s looking to change that with his upcoming Sci-Fi Channel series Eureka. The show won’t hit the airwaves until the summer (along with new episodes of Battlestar Galactica), but we’ve got a brief glimpse of what’s in store. Normally we don’t cover a lot … Continue reading

SCARLETT JOHANSSON WORKS TOO MUCH

I like pretty young thing Scarlett Johansson okay, and I understand that she’s the current "It Girl" but she should probably be wary of overexposure (and I’m not referring to her ample bosom, which she should feel welcome to expose). It just seems like she’s joining new projects with alarming alacrity. Her latest is Chris … Continue reading
