This year, we saw Earth’s Mightiest Heroes come together for the first time ever. The legend of a man who dresses up like a bat came to an end. We watched a group of friends fall apart after acquiring strange abilities from a hole in the ground. The world watched in horror as children from the 12 Districts of Panem stabbed, choked and poisoned each other to death. This is my list of the top 10 best films of 2012! [Read more...]

Michael’s Top Ten Most Disappointing Films of 2012
December 31, 2012 by
Creating a list of worst 10 films sounds easier than creating a 10 most disappointing films of the year. For one thing a person can immediately refer to the most rotten movies on Rotten Tomatoes. Besides it be way too easy to add a film like The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, Resident Evil 5, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Total Recall, Battleship and Playing for Keeps type of films on the list, so why even bother creating a list like that. When I say disappointing, I mean it just did not live up to the hype, predecessors, and/or genre. We get so many screenings, and pay for so many tickets, but all in all, it’s just impossible to see every single movie in a year. But not every movie we see will be a guaranteed hit. So these are my top ten films that were the most disappointing. Hit the jump to see them all. [Read more...]

DC Comics Wastes Opportunity With Nokia-Exclusive “The Dark Knight Rises” Motion Comic
August 20, 2012 by
When it was announced late last year that The Dark Knight Rises would take place eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, I wrote about how such news lent itself to tremendous viral marketing and hype-generating opportunities, primarily in the form of prequel comics that could tell stories of events that took place between the films. While that never materialized the way I hoped, DC Comics just announced the launch of a new app that does indeed offer a “prologue” comic to the film. But there’s a catch. Hit the jump to find out more.
Fan Film Bridges the Gap Between “The Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises”
August 10, 2012 by
A couple months ago, we featured a Kickstarter project called Batman: Puppet Master, a fan film inspired by Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. The film introduces new versions of classic Batman villains in a way that Nolan might’ve if they were used in his films. This project also serves as a bit of a sequel to The Dark Knight and prequel to The Dark Knight Rises, taking place during the 8-year gap between the events of the two films. Check it out after the jump. [Read more...]
Fan-Made Video Game Movie Posters Reminds Us Of Genre’s Potential
August 4, 2012 by
I have never been a gamer, but I have nonetheless been confounded over Hollywood’s inability to successfully adapt some of today’s most prominent game properties into feature films (instead focusing their attention on board games). The graphics in video games are increasingly astounding and are often accompanied by interesting storylines. Game companies even release preview trailers with a cinematic structure, and appear even more polished than actual movie trailers. Despite that, video game adaptations like Prince of Persia, Doom and Hitman have been critical and box office disappointments, with the only possible exceptions being the Lara Croft and Resident Evil franchises at least when it comes to gross. While successful video game movies appear to be a bleak proposition, several artists and Photoshop mavens have created movie posters based off some of today’s most popular games that offer a glimpse of what could be, as well as casting the actors for some of the roles. Hit the jump to check out the impressive work.
