How awesome is this season of movies going to be?

Well I covered off Hellboy the other day (and found an excuse to wear the Right Hand of Doom) as one of the films I’m pretty excited about this season and I have new trailers for two others that have me hyped up.
I think this season is shaping up to the best in ages, I [...]

Do we really need a Robocop remake?

There was some talk a little while ago about Sony potentially remaking Robocop.  There were then further rumours that they decided it was a remarkably bad idea since the film wasn’t really that old.
Now I love Robocop one and two and tolerate three so the the initial idea of more Robocop is appealing until I [...]

Hellboy II and the right hand of doom

I’m not really sure what drew me to the character of Hellboy, probably the brilliant artwork by Mike Mignola, actually I’m sure it is.  What I expect kept me coming back was the surprisingly droll humour, the real world mythology mixing within the rich tapestry of the BPRD world and of course I still can’t [...]

After the success of Iron Man Marvel has announced that Captain America is now on the cards and Cinema Blend is reporting that the front runner to play Cap is Matthew McConaughey.

Iron Man phone!

Ok when the Matrix came out everyone wanted a Nokia 8110, not the clunky alternative version but the sleek, slide out black phone as seen in the film.  I had Matrix sunglasses and yes I had a Nokia 8110 imported from Korea.
It was a great phone actually, comfortable size, light and looked fantastic.
Of course I [...]

Forget all of that and know one truth.
Iron Man is awesome.
That is the simple truth.
Thank you Robert Downey [...]

One sleep to go and then it’s Iron Man time

I really can’t believe that in just over twelve hours I’ll be settling into my seat about to watch one of my favourite comic book characters of all time being brought to live on the big screen by pretty much the perfect cast and from all reports, director also.
Tracey and I had this conversation the [...]

More comic book movie joy - The Incredible Hulk poster

The marketing on this film seems to be lagging compared to Iron Man’s, I wonder as this is the second Marvel financed film if they’re not holding their breath just a little, waiting to see what kind of money that Iron Man does first.
Oh that Iron Man film is money alright.
Anyway IGN got their hands [...]

Bittersweet feelings over Iron Man

I liked him long before you people!
Before you guys start waving various protestations at me, when I say you people I don’t mean YOU people, I’m talking about the general public.
I know people say this all the time, I liked “blah blah” before everyone else made it popular but I really stuck with the Iron [...]
