I’ve been giddy as a schoolgirl for this summer’s MAN OF STEEL ever since the teaser trailer debuted last summer in front of Christopher Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. It was bittersweet to know THE DARK KNIGHT Trilogy was finished and we’d never see Christian Bale don the cape and cowl again, but the promise of something else spectacular and tantalizing has been wonderful. I know they’re just trailers and high hopes can be easily crushed with some deceptive marketing for a …

Manohmanohman. So here it is. Our first image from Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel movie, the Superman reboot due in theaters on June 14, 2013, and I’m split between rolling my eyes at Henry Cavill (The Immortals) and his Kryptonian Mitt Romney hairdo, as well as his Superman suit, which looks more like something out of Joel Schumacher’s book of horrors than it does from Christopher Nolan’s book of everything-I-touch-turns-to-gold. However, with that said, I suppose that is the exact …
So you know how everybody was pooping there pants over how the new Superman movie Man of Steel was going to come out next year in December? Well bring out the tissues because they decided to postpone it for six months. I know it’s pathetic and I’m pretty sure they will come out with some explanation why, but I already put it on my calendar in pen. How am I supposed to get that out? Huh Hollywood? Even if I scratch …
Hard to believe Zack Snyder’s 300 was in theaters in March 2007. Seems like just the other day I was at the press screening with hundreds of nerdy fanboys sweating and squealing at the film adaptation of Frank Miller’s classic graphic novel of King Leonidas and his Spartan army. Repeat viewings definitely are not as intense as the first time with 300, but one thing can’t be argued – Snyder’s movie is flat-out sexy. For those who are going through …
Ever since Zack Snyder was announced as the director for the forthcoming Christopher Nolan-produced Superman re-boot, titled Superman: Man of Steel, I’ve been hearing rumblings about General Zod being the main foe for Supes in this big-screen outing. As you probably know, General Zod was last seen in Superman II, opposite Christopher Reeve and Margo Kidder. He was played in that 1980 sequel by Terrance Stamp (Wanted). Early rumblings had Viggo Mortenson (The Road) tabbed as the frontrunner for Zod, …
Okay, so I know this is reeeaaaaaaaalllllly old news, but I just have to post this as my way of acknowledging publicly to Zack Snyder and those involved with Superman: Man of Steel that I heartily approve of their casting choices thus far. In case you missed the news earlier this year, little-know Brit, Henry Cavill, is playing Clark Kent/Superman, and Kevin Costner and Diane Lane are Pa and Ma Kent, Supes’ adopted Earth parents. Now, as of last week, the part …
Zack Snyder has only officially cast three people thus far for his December 2012 reboot of the Superman franchise, aptly titled Superman: The Man of Steel, but the three choices are attention-grabbing and suggest the director is, as many superhero movies do nowadays, following the Nolan Format (like how I capitalize that?) and adding legitimate acting talent to the mix. As a fan of Superman, my fingers are crossed and my prunehole is clinched in desperate hope Snyder’s purveyor of …
Batman and Superman were my favorite superheroes when I was a young boy and they are my favorite good guys as a 36 year-old father-of-two. I can still remember being at the drive-in theater and watching, mouth wide open, Christopher Reeve done the blue suit and red cape and soar to the top of The Daily Planet to rescue Lois Lane. When we got home, I safety-pinned a maroon towel around my neck, donned my blue pajamas (complete with underpants …
