The Crow Gets Remake UK, December 15, 2008 – Relativity Media are set to reinvent Goth fantasy movie The Crow, with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen helmer Stephen Norrington hired to direct according to Variety. The 1994 movie, which was based on the comic by James O’Barr and was directed by Alex Proyas, revolved around…
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…
This week we took a look at Secret Invasion: Dark Reign #1, the book that carries us from the closing pages of Secret Invasion #8 to everything else that comes next. The end of Secret Invasion left me intrigued, but I’m not sure how much I’ll be following along. Now that the Marvel Universe has…

This morning, the nominees for the Golden Globes were announced, and, as I’m sure many of you were, I found myself shocked that The Dark Knight was only nominated for one award. Now, I’m not saying that nomination isn’t well deserved (honestly, if Heath Ledger doesn’t win, I’ll be quite surprised), but what about the…
Sorry for the tardiness on this — I was waffling on what to choose for this week’s Book of Doom and leaning toward Detective #851 but apprehensive about choosing a third Batman book in three weeks. Once I got to the shop, I realized that Secret Invasion: Dark Reign #1 came out. Apparently I looked…
In the lead: Alfred’s group of six heads to Happy Harbor, Rhode Island to the cave that would have been the first JLA HQ if the Trinity existed. After some mystic hoodoo, the group is transported to a different world and starts acting more like their “true” selves. Society in this world is run by…
