New Photos From X-MEN Spinoff ‘The Wolverine’ Starring Hugh Jackman

Posted: April 18, 2013 at 9:36 pm   /   Coming Soon, Film, Local

It is unfortunate that 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine was so bad. After Brian Singer’s X-MEN and X-2 reintroduced superhero movies into the mainstream, X-Men: The Last Stand ended up in Brett Ratner’s hands and was ultimately a disappointment. Origins was the chance to focus on the most popular character in the franchise, Wolverine, and also […]

The Long Box – Comic Book Casting: The Punisher

Posted: February 9, 2013 at 5:53 pm   /   Comic Books, Film, Local

The Punisher has been in what I like to call “movie jail”.   Despite three feature films, it has never found traction with audiences or critics.  In 1989, the first film starred Dolph Lundgren and went straight to video (never a good sign). The second was released in theaters in 2004 and starred Thomas Jane. […]

Posted: May 31, 2012 at 6:35 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

We already saw a big shift in the last two weeks when Paramount announced a month before release that “GI Joe: Retaliation” would be postponed nine months until March 2013.  Check out Blake’s thoughts here.  I think that is a special exception though, due to these films being so far from their intended release dates […]
