I went to sleep last night, and I swear it was the year 2008. But, then, I woke up this morning to find the new trailer for the Wolverine Origin movie had been thrown up online over at 20th Century Fox’s Myspace Page. Now I’m not so sure what year it is. Is Dane Cook…
• I haven’t chimed in since the big Black Friday sales, but it sounds like it was a big hit for everyone in town. • The gang at Capes Comics Lounge released a new video podcast this week, “Batman R.I.P.: more like Batman: WTF,” which you can view at comicbookcrossfire.libsyn.com or on the Capes myspace…
Wolverine. Weapon X. Logan. Sexiest Man Alive. Oscar host? The big news out of Hollywood the past couple days has been about the Golden Globe nominations, so, today, not to be upstaged, the Academy Awards made a little bit of news of their own. It was announced a few hours ago that the Oscars are…

Newsarama recently compiled a highly subjective and somewhat controversial list of the supposed ten best comic book-based movies of all time. I think it’s a fairly entertaining discussion, and they include a lot of stuff that I wouldn’t have thought to include. Here’s their list, along with links to reviews of these movies we’ve conducted…
I had a lot of time to look at the new issue of Previews over the holiday weekend. Starting off we’ve got the Marvel Previews insert. Cover: “Ultimatum brings about the end of two teams,” it says, promising the end of Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate X-Men. Good riddance. I remember reading Ultimate X-Men for…
It seems like Oscar season is just around the corner, and for the first time that I can remember, there’s been some serious buzz regarding superhero movies. Specifically, lots of people have been rooting for a Best Supporting Actor nod for Heath Ledger in “The Dark Knight.” At this point, it’s a little hard to…
