Ninja Turtles, where are you? With all of the remakes and re-boots scheduled to come out soon like Conan The Barbarian, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, ThunderCats, etc…TMNT fans are probably wondering when the Ninja Turtles are going to make their re-appearance. Nickelodeon has the rights to the TMNT franchise and I believe [...]

Best superhero movie of 2011 isn’t from Marvel or DC
In the last couple of days, we’ve got news and pictures of Marvel & DC’s upcoming 2011 superhero movies which is really great, because comic book fans the world over get to see their favorite characters go from paper, to live action heroes on the big screen.

The Dark Knight Rises (parody) the making of
On Thursday October 28, 2010, I got a phone call from Marylou telling me the news that Chris Nolan revealed the title to his 3rd Batman film which is named, “The Dark Knight Rises”. First off, let me tell everyone that doesn’t know me, I don’t keep up with comic book news. Marylou is the [...]
