I spent most of the NYC ComicCon lurching in circles with my mouth half-open, hunting for a copy of Detective Comics # 587 and spending way too much money on plastic bullshit that reminds me of my childhood. The experience was spectacular. I haven’t been to a comic book convention since 1991, ...

There’s no doubt about it: 2008 was a memorable year. We had the second biggest movie of all time rip through box office records. We had a huge slate of CGI flicks, and many of them quite good – one might even say they were the best of the year. Superheroes rocked at the box office, and we got t...

We Rejects love our action and we sure as hell like watching men, women, monsters, and superheroes whip the crap out of each other on the big screen.  This year didn’t have the all-out ass kickery of a 300 or the hardcore spy-beatdowns of a Bourne movie, but we found these fight scenes to be ...

Just like it was for music, 2008 wasn’t really a great year for movies or television … the Writer’s Strike at the start of the year really decimated Hollywood and severely hurt television programming. That said, there were a few really amazing films (highlighted by really amazing a...

Now that we've entered the final month of the year, look for our site (and several others) to spend some time looking back at 2008. We here at Cinematical will kick off our year-end festivities real soon, but in the meantime Yahoo Movies was first out of the gate with a list of the most popular movi...

Maybe this could be better put in the “studios are dumb” section, but I’m getting a little bit weary of some relaunched properties.  A couple of relaunches have proved to be very successful - Batman and James Bond, notably.  They took them in a new direction, rewound virtually to...

A whole lotta time since I last posted an update on upcoming Marvel movies, and quite some things have happened on that front, so here we go: So, we all now by now there’s an Avengers movie scheduled for 2011, and the probable line-up will be Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Ant-man, Wasp and Hulk. But on...

Universal has scored two $100-million hits so far this summer: The Incredible Hulk ($129 million) and Wanted ($112 million), and this weekend Hellboy II: The Golden Army opened at number one with an estimated $35.9 million. And the pics scored strong reviews as well: Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy seq...

I've seen a number of articles now wondering if there will be a sequel to The Incredible Hulk. I really don't understand why there is so much negativity attached to the Hulk franchise. A few months ago people were speculating that the movie would suck and I went so far as to state flat out that it w...

Will “Big Willie” Smith made this holiday weekend the fifth Independence Day weekend that he’s ruled the box office cementing his place as the King of the Fourth Of July.  However, even as Hancock doubled the gross of the second place film, it still managed to fall below indus...
