Wolverine can't slash movie pirates
Movie fans couldn't wait until May 1 for the start of blockbuster season. Someone, somewhere illegally downloaded a version of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and it hit the web this week. It's one of the biggest leaks of its kind, but it's hardly news that new ...
Movies in Toto Interview: Artist Jeremy Engleman ('Monsters vs. Aliens')
Jeremy Engleman has a hard time describing his occupation at cocktail parties. Engleman works as a surfacer, an animation specialist who helps make CG-based cartoons a reality. The next time you see the slick vehicles in "Cars," or the waving blades of grass in "Madagascar," you ...
Movies in Toto interview: Director Alex Proyas ('Knowing')
The spectacular events that take place in Nicolas Cage's new film “Knowing,” opening wide March 20, couldn’t possibly happen in real life. That doesn’t mean the thriller abandons scientific principles. “Knowing” director Alex Proyas (“Dark City,” “I, Robot”) says he had a team of consultants on ...
Watch 'Watchmen' drop line a stone
First, the good news for the folks who gave us "Watchmen." The new subversive superhero flick earned roughly $55 million over the weekend. But it opened against virtually no competition, and it's likely the film's bloated running time and humdrum finale won't generate positive ...
Pow! Bam! Thud. Worst comic book adaptations
It's easy to get lost in the hoopla over "Watchmen," but not every comic book adaptation works out as well as "Spider-Man" or "The Dark Knight." The recent success rate has been high, but check out these out-and-out clunkers for examples of how Hollywood sometimes gets comic book movies so ...

Even mediocre movies offer DVD extras extolling how "powerful" the film turned out to be and tales of the "amazing" on-set chemistry. But what's a studio to do when it releases "Howard the Duck" on DVD, the 1986 film which out Ishtarred "Ishtar" and made "Heaven's ...
Getting to know the 'Watchmen'
The "Watchmen" are coming! The "Watchmen" are coming! If you don't live and breath comic books. that may not mean much to you. "Watchmen" is the latest superhero screen adaptation, set to hit theaters March 6. It's based on the legendary "Watchmen" series created by comic ...
'Friday the 13th' - Put scare quotes around the word 'classic'
The original “Friday the 13th” works better today as a time capsule than a flesh and blood horror movie. The primitive special effects. The Village People-era tight clothing. And the slasher film mold, back when the clay was still wet to the touch. Way back in ...
'Knowing' is half the battle
One word movie titles leave me cold, but sometimes that's all the verbiage you need for 90 minutes of adrenaline like the recent "Taken." Nicolas Cage's follows up his last one-worder, "Next," with "Knowing," heading our way March 20. "Next" tanked, but "Knowing" looks more promising, especially with "I, ...
'Midnight Meat Train' - All aboard for gore, more
Add "The Midnight Meat Train" to the list of horror flicks which stopped only briefly in your neighborhood theater. But that only tells a part of the story. Some of the better horror movies in recent years have either gone straight to video or made a ...
Holy bad Bat timing
"The Dark Knight" is slated to reappear on movie screens nationwide tomorrow (Jan. 23) ... a return timed to coincide with today's Oscar nominations. Only "Knight" failed to score any of the big awards - just a Best Supporting nod for the late, great Heath ...
