It still hasn't quite sunk in for me that Guy Ritchie's next project will be a Lobo movie, but this week we have our first casting rumour for the lead role, which if nothing else, serves as a reminder that this is actually happening (eventually). The actor who is reportedly being considered for Lobo is a bit of a surprise though, as it's someone that not many people will recognize by name alone. According...
Looking at the more recent successful films, it's becoming clear that star power is no longer a guaranteed box office draw for audiences. Unknown actors and actresses are garnering as much attention as their A-List counterparts. It looks like the creative team behind the upcoming Guy Ritchie adaptation of DC Comics' Lobo is paying attention to this trend as IGN says a source close to production told...
Many times an actor will express interest in a specific project, but the union of the two never really comes to fruition. A situation just like that surfaced recently in the choice to go with Clancy Brown for Guy Ritchie's Lobo as opposed to an interested Jeffrey Dean Morgan. A story in the same vein just might be in the works as The Playlist picked up on some info revealed in comedian Adam Corrolla's...

The popularity of SpongeBob SquarePants amongst kids (and many adults) is almost beyond explanation. Don't get me wrong. It's a fun show that skillfully blends little kid appeal with occasional bursts of adult-worthy humor. It also boasts an impressive voice cast, including Tom Kenny and Clancy Brown. But there are kids who can't live without this little tie-clad yellow blob. To celebrate the little...
One of the featurettes on the new Blu-ray for Batman/ Superman: Public Enemies reminds viewers that the two superheroes were first paired in the 1960s, "when comics were for kids," and it's probably an important detail to remember when actually watching this latest straight-to-video feature from Warner Premiere. Because despite a PG-13 rating and subject matter that hints at more mature...
Cat’s Eye (1985, US) Dir: Lewis Teague Stars: Drew Barrymore, James Woods Three Stephen King short stories are interwoven into a feature film through the appearance of a cat in this 1980s classic. With a top rate cast and plenty of suspense this is by far the best of the King anthology adaptations. Tales include Quitters Inc, The Ledge and The General. Look out for some clever King in-jokes in...
Now that my cold has somewhat subsided, I can catch you up on past work that perhaps passed beneath your radar. The finest of those possibilities is DC Comics and Warner Bros. comics-anime merge Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, one of the best films of the year. I reviewed it for Wired. Review: Superman, Batman Shine in [...]
Freddy Krueger returns in “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” a contemporary reimagining of the horror classic. A group of suburban teenagers share one common bond: they are all being stalked by Freddy Krueger, a horribly disfigured killer who hunts them in their dreams. As long as they stay awake, they can protect on another…but when they sleep, there is no escape.
