Iron Man 2 cast on Entertainment Weekly cover

I’m all for more superhero movies and I just can’t wait for Iron Man 2. By far, I’ve considered the first movie as the best superhero movie ever and I’ve defended that position by classifying The Dark Knight as a crime drama. Anyway, so Iron Man 2 has got the green light and Entertainment Weekly featured three of the cast on the cover. Anyway, the second movie is undoubtedly a star-studded cast with Robert...

Green Lantern: Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan

Casting is always a tricky bastard to pin down. With the success of Marvel Comics movies, maybe it’s DC’s turn to earn some box office huzzahs by getting real actors to play their comic book legends.

I do like the cast as well with Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes. It’d be interesting to see how he creates his own characterization of the super sleuth. Jude Law as Watson somehow violates my image of...

Watchmen Director’s Cut coming to video

I liked Watchmen all because I am a fan of the graphic novels. That’s why I got to appreciate the details and all. But given a non-fan point of view, it’s way too long and way too messy to be regarded as a good film. It’s a graphic novel supplement at best. Now who wants to see the Director’s Cut? It’s still a couple of months down the line (release date’s on July 25) but details have been revealed...
