Although I vaguely remember watching the first Resident Evil movie, I was more than happy to skip the sequel, Apocalypse. Apparently, Milla Jovovich’s Alice character had evolved into an outright superhero with no regard for the laws of physics, and that’s where I checked out. Who wants to see zombies get mopped up by someone … Continue reading
My familiarity with the Jonah Hex character is mostly limited to the episode of Batman: The Animated Series that focused exclusively on Hex squaring off with Ra’s al Ghul in the Old West over a crazy domination scheme involving fancy dirigible technology. But from what I understand, that’s pretty much the character in a nutshell. … Continue reading
Although there’s been a good bit of anticipation for it, substantial looks at Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited has been hard to come by. We’ve gotten a photo here and a poster there, but even the plot details aren’t fully illuminated at this point (though word on the script is not good, it seems), and … Continue reading
Among the many comic book adaptations gestating in Hollywood right now, Y: The Last Man has collected a bit more dust than most. Based on the Brian K. Vaughn comic, the story of a young man who manages to survive a virus that wipes out everything else on the planet with a Y chromosome was … Continue reading
If Todd McFarlane was walking next to me on the street and told me to move out of the way because a runaway bus was coming at me, I’d probably spend the last few moments of my life giving the guy shit for being a delusional fool along with getting out maybe two wisecracks about … Continue reading
As we’re finally in the home stretch of getting a bigscreen version of The Simpsons, it’s only natural that studios look at that film’s box office prospects, size up their animated/TV offerings, and figure out what could possibly make a decent transition to celluloid as well. And of those shows, there is one about another … Continue reading
One of the interesting aspects about movies these days is that we live in an era where so much of the curtain behind moviemaking has been pulled back that it’s redefined the way we watch films. We’ve been fortunate enough, especially as geeks or genre fans or whatever you want to call yourself, to enjoy … Continue reading

A lot of us had a pretty good chuckle a few months back when the long-delayed, much-maligned feature film adaptation of DOA: Dead or Alive washed up on Google Video and gave us all a day or two of guffaws. The prevailing joke was that it was the first film to go “direct-to-Google-Video,” but of … Continue reading
I was surprised at just how much I enjoyed Chris Robinson’s ATL, which I didn’t end up catching until long after its quietly profitable box office run last year. When I saw the trailers/TV spots for a nostalgic “hood” coming-of-age flick starring a rapper (T.I.), my kneejerk reaction was “Here we go again.” But ATL … Continue reading
