  I, like most of America, saw The Simpsons Movie last weekend. An enjoyable film, with a lot of laughs, but still may-be 10 years too late. Most of the people I spoke with agreed that it was good but not great. My major complaint was that I wanted to see more of the film set in Springfield. I wanted to see more of the signature characters that

  Fox wasn’t prepared to premiere material at Comic-Con, because, they claimed, everything was in such an “early” not ready for prime-time form. Yet 10-days later they have launched the official Jumper website, and have released four production photos from the 1992 Steven Gould sci-fi novel adaptation. A genetic anomaly allows a

  MovieWeb has a look at the new teaser poster for the big screen adaptation of the popular video game Hitman. I was less than impressed by the first teaser trailer which was released in June. I’m not a big gamer but some of my best friends are, and I’ve always found Hitman to be interesting. But from the looks of the trailer, they

  new photo (seen above) from Fox’s big screen adaptation of the popular Hitman video game. While I will admit that this film appears to have style, I’m still not interested in seeing it.

  In June, we posted the teaser trailer the big screen adaptation of the hit video game Hitman. I complained that it failed to impress me, and got almost 70 comments in agreement. The new trailer, which can be seen after the jump, impresses me a little more. The cinematography looks pretty impressive, but not much else. I thought the whole point in

  The first Alien vs. Predator movie was a disaster. I don't know how, but Paul W.S. Anderson ruined it (like he has countless other movies). I mean, what was up with the secret underground pyramid underneath Antarctica? The sequel, Alien vs. Predator: Requiem, is directed by Colin and Greg Strause (long time visual effects producers), and looks to

  Century Fox has moved the release date for the video game to film adaptation of Hitman from October 17th to November 21st. Maybe Fox wanted to distance Hitman from 30 Days of Night, which hits theaters on Friday, October 19th. Either that or there is still more work to be done on the film (which is never a good sign). Hitman will now go head

  Growing up a child of the 80’s, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was one of the shows I watched (along with many of the other series which are now pop culture nostalgia items on that VH1 show and in references on Family Guy). So it pains me to learn via our friends at IESB that the big screen adaptation of the cartoon series/action
