Hollywood's favorite new word is "reboot." I'm not sure why it's preferable to "remake" except that it has a technological ring to it, and implies that our movie memories will be erased as easily as our computer hard drives. Comic book franchises is where the "rebooting" really seems to be happening...

Back in January, we brought you the news that Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford had joined Joss Whedon’s highly anticipated horror film, “Cabin in the Woods.” The film has been surrounded in secrecy, and the addition of two older male actors was the first sign that this wasnR...

There are reading experiences that stay with you for your entire life. I don't want to sound overblown and fanatical, but one of these was Watchmen. I was in college, reading a borrowed copy, and was racing to finish it because the lender wanted it back by the end of spring break. (He owned multiple...

Back in January, we all recoiled a little bit at the news that Neil LaBute was remaking Death at a Funeral -- a nice little British movie that only just came out in 2007, making a remake seem even more superfluous than they usually are.

Not one to take a breather, Zack Snyder is immediately launching into his next project (and his first original script), Sucker Punch. I don't want to get all gushy and fangirly, but this might just be a film for the girls who identified with this. It might even be a film that embodies the Bechdel Ru...

Yesterday afternoon, news broke on the blogosphere that Kevin Smith’s next movie would be “A Couple of Dicks.” This was surprising to everyone, since he had stressed that “Red State” would be next on his plate, with a sci-fi comedy to follow. Just as everyone was gettin...

One of the questions being whispered around the blogosphere is this: Will women see Watchmen ? We're such alien creatures, after all, and so uninterested in superheroes or crime fighting of any kind.
