ALL QUIET ON THE X-MEN FRONT

I have to confess something: at this point I have an almost complete lack of interest in X-Men 3.  The most intriguing thing about the production so far was the participation of Layer Cake director Matthew Vaughn, but he already took the Blackbird back to the UK, leaving us in the questionable care of Brett … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 10.4.05

I’ve started fresh with the Graboid, going for a more polished and tougher perspective. If you get them from now on it’ll be because you’re an astute fan of movies. I’m not going to make it easy and it’s going to be from something I either like or find it fun to put on the … Continue reading

THOR’S COMIC COLUMN

Since it’s the Halloween season, each edition of Thor’s Comic Column in October will feature at least one comic with a horror theme.  Enjoy! First Look: Niles Gives Good Zombie in “Batman: Gotham County Line” By Russell Paulette I hope the headline didn’t spoil the first issue ending, here—but let’s be honest.  You heard Steve … Continue reading

BALE vs. JACKMAN!

It’s every comic geek’s dream: seeing Wolverine and Batman collide on the silver screen.  Unfortunately due to legal entanglements (and the fact that Marvel and DC now seem to despise each other, or at the very least have a not-so-friendly competition), this project is as close as we’ll ever get. Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman … Continue reading

SPOOK SIGHTINGS FOR ZELLWEGER

Zellweger, who I used to think was intensely adorable but now just sort of bugs me, will star in Paramount’s remake of the Chinese/Thai import The Eye.  The movie involves … Continue reading
