Patton Oswalt has always been one of my favorite comedians. Career-wise, his appearances on Reno 9/11 have shown he’s not afraid to make fun of himself, while his starring role in Pixar’s Ratatouille made him the envy of film nerds everywhere. In his stand-up, I love the way he is able t...

So the big question today seems to be “But what does $56 million meeean?� The question, of course, is in relation to the first weekend box-office take for Watchmen. The $56 million is quite a bit shy of the first bit of speculation, which pegged the movie taking in around $70 million or so in th...

Wonder Woman (2009 - Blu-ray) The Story: Pretty good. Exactly what I was expecting. Not as focussed, structurally sound or iconic as i'd hoped but completely serviceable. To be fair, nearly every single criticism I can throw at producer Bruce Timm, director Lauren Montgomery and crew's animated Wond...

Terrell Owens is now Buffalo’s headache. The Buffalo Bills signed WR Terrell Owens to a one year deal on Saturday, a move which seems to be in the best interest of both parties. Owens gives young QB Trent Edwards a threat that will allow for more single coverage looks to Lee Evans. Paired with...

For all five of you who haven't seen this yet, here it is: Happy Harry's "reanimation" of the Watchmen in a classic, Saturday morning animation style, complete with cheese-bag (read: awesome) theme song. "Strong together, united forever" For the record, I saw the feature film last night and I'm fair...

[This review is spoiler free] Watchmen first appeared on my radar years ago when I’d heard that one of my favorite directors, Paul Greengrass, was slated to helm the big-screen adaptation. I’m not a huge comic book reader, but I’d heard so many complimentary things about the graphi...

Earlier this week word leaked out that Kevin Smith would be directing A Couple of Dicks starring Tracy Mogan and Bruce Willis. The next day the trades confirmed the reports but also claimed that the film’s title was changed to “A Couple of Cops”. A lot of people thought the new tit...

Is Warner Bros. paying street marketing teams to vandalize public property in New York City? Well, when put that way, it sounds like something the film industry monolith wouldn’t want to own up to. Whether or not they’re responsible, the words “Who Watches the Watchmen?â€� have appeared in...

The problem with “unfilmmable” pieces of literature is that they usually wind up getting filmed anyway. Everyone, as late as 1999, said the Lord of the Rings trilogy was unfilmmable because of the fantastic characters that inhabited the story and, indeed, the scope of the story itself. E...
