For the last few years, DC Comics’ universe of interconnected superhero titles have been embroiled in a rolling series of crossovers and events, each supposedly redefining or recreating what has come before, and changing the status quo of the comic book universe as it exists.

I feel like I may have blown my joke load in the title of this piece – what else is there to say about Rambo’s quizzical look at a viper that probably wants to inject him with some venom?

So while the idea of Leguizamo teaming up with Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel on M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening might sound promising, remember that some … Continue reading
I have not read Claire Messud’s novel, The Emperor’s Children, but even if it is a terrible book, it seems like there is the skeleton of a good movie here. You don’t have to be an Ivy Leaguer to relate to the idea of three Brown University grads who, years after moving to New York … Continue reading
