I'm not sure if the comic book movie genre is more inclined to feed the internet rumor mill or if it's just that there are so many comic book movies being made at the moment that the law of averages takes over, but in any event, let the speculation continue. Last month, actor …

James Mangold's 'The Wolverine' has an uphill battle in front of it. Not only does it have Iron Man, Superman and Thor to battle for the year's top superhero film honors, but it also has to be outstanding enough to effectively help us forget the tragedy that…

With the news that the upcoming Man of Steel will be the jump off point for DC to develop a Justice League movie I only had one question, how are they going to make Green Lantern work for it.  It’s no secret that Green Lantern was a mediocre middle of the road movie that should have been Training Day in space rather than the blatant product placement Masters of the Universe-esque snooze-fest that it was. In comparison…

As they got into the unnamed…

Next up is the one with the pistol and as he walks to find MAK, he heard the sudden swipe of a switchblade and thought his boy finally gotten to MAK but when he went to find out, the dead body laying down was one of his own and man, was he pissed. “Dammit! Cain.” Cain answered the call, “Yeah? You got him?” “Uh, no, but he got us.” Dice…

Rating-Some Ole' Bullsh*t!!   Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance is a truly awful movie, not only is it an embarrassment to this character that is featured in the title, but it is an embarrassment to the superhero genre as a whole. So, it is a slight improvement on its predecessor.   The plot is that Johnny Blaze, played by Nicholas Cage, must protect a child from the devil and his forces. Sounds fun right? Well it is... for about 20 minutes. The rest of the film is…

'Kick-Ass 2' may still be filming in Ontario, but you don't have to wait until they're done to catch your first glimpse of actor Jim Carrey in his role as Colonel Stars. In addition to the return of homemade hero Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and child endangerment poster-child…

Of all the superheroes in all the world, Batman is one of the most iconic and legendary. Why is that? Is it his great fortune? His ultimate humanity? His unique symbol or quest for justice? Or is it partly the fact that he has spawned some of the greatest villains in all of modern literature, never minding their origins in comic book form? Yes, it is safe to say that Batman's rogues' gallery is arguably the greatest in all of comic books simply because each villain has a fascinating thing…

This is a non-spoiler review of the first Luther Strode series.

The Trade's cover

First going into the Luther Strode, you may think it's Kick-ass with Superpowers, but if you look at just beneath the surface it's actually a variation of a Slasher flick disguised as Superhero origin. That is actually…

 As the hype for the newest installment of Spider-Man built up, my skepticism grew along with it. As a fan of the Spider-Man comics and a cinema junkie, I was excited to hear that we were going to be given a new take on the franchise. But I was also deeply concerned that 'The Amazing Spider-Man', directed by Marc Webb, wouldn't be able to undo the damage done by the Tobey Maguire series, Tobey Maguire being to Spider-Man what Rupert Murdoch was to Firefly, he just utterly killed it.

It was just too good to be true. The cast of Shane Black's 'Iron Man 3' was shaping up to be quite formidable in many ways. Of…

There are plenty of Marvel superheroes still active in Hollywood. Each of 'The Avengers' is gearing up for a return to individual films in the wake of …

When the Avengers truly assembled for the first time in San Diego two summers ago, Robert Downey, Jr. boldly stated that this film was "the most ambitious movie [he's] ever seen", even over the phenomenon that was Christopher Nolan's Inception. It has taken four years to develop the main…

For lack of a better term, the newest trailer for 'The Amazing Spider-Man' is well... amazing. Now that more of the visual effects are complete, we finally get a much better look at some of the more intense moments of the film including more of the POV sequences, Spider-Man webslinging around town, and some of the incredible fight scenes (including one that takes place on the ceiling!). The new trailer also…

In a press release sent out by Disney this morning, the company announced that 'Iron Man 3' will actually be co-produced in collaboration with Walt Disney China. In and of itself, that seems like a pretty boring announcement - companies often join forces with their international branches to fund films, particularly ones that they intend to ship overseas. However, the real shocker comes in the very last line…

This review is not one filled with spoilers but I’d just warn that one can better understand the points I’m trying to make if they have seen the film. Obviously everything I say below is my own opinion and interpretations of the film and many will disagree. I’m writing this second review because in order to sustain my recent obsession with Nicolas Winding Refn’s latest film ‘Drive’, I have been reading a lot of interviews with the director so that I could both  better…
