Sneak Peek: the Return of 'Chuck'

The best part of this sneak peek at what's coming up on 'Chuck' this Monday (oh, I can't wait until the Olympics are over) is the font and special effects they use in the beginning. I'm pretty sure that's a nod to the Superman movies and the fact tha

The /Filmcast: After Dark - Ep. 73 - Making Trick ‘r Treat (GUEST: Mike Dougherty, Director of Trick ‘r Treat)

The /Filmcast: After Dark is a recording of what happens right after The /Filmcast is over, when the kids have gone to bed and the guys feel free to speak whatever is on their minds. In other words, it’s the leftover and disorganized ramblings, min

Review: Smallville - Echo

(S09E04) It's when the writers give Clark abilities he's not supposed to have that I begin to worry, like his "reconstruct the Great Wall of China" vision from Superman IV. Thankfully, in this instance it was yet another of Jor-El's senseless tests a

Smallville: Rabid

(S09E03) Who knew the Smallville zombie episode would turn out to be such a bummer? Our heroes did nothing but whine, brood, and talk about their lonely lives while the almost undead were chompin' on people's limbs. Where were the fun Grindhouse-sty

Legendary Pictures Brings the Warren Ellis Comic Series Gravel to the Screen

Smallville premiere clips: Clark gets dark, Zod raises an army

Smallville can probably expect a big drop in viewership now that The CW has moved it to Friday nights, but fans won't want to miss this week's premiere to see the show move closer to Superman territory than ever before. Friday's season opener finds

Gone Too Soon: Earth 2

In 1994, I was excited about My So-Called Life and Friends, but not much else on the TV schedule caught my eye. A friend of mine loved ABC's Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, so I would go over there to hang out and watch it. Being sci-fi

Chris Evans Not Involved in 'Fantastic Four' Reboot

Most comic book fans agree that if there was one really solid thing about the two Fantastic Four films, it was Chris Evans. He was the perfect Johnny Storm! It's a shame when a superhero franchise fails its good performers, and reboots them right out

The Most Interesting Movie Related Tweets From Kevin Smith’s Tweet-a-thon

Angie Harmon to guest star on Chuck

Ever since Women's Murder Club ended last year -- after a way too short run, in my opinion -- I've been looking for appearances by Angie Harmon. Her own series would be great, but if not, I'll settle for whatever I can get. She's just signed to guest

Warner Bros Has Lost Krypton; Will Lose Superman in 2013
