THIS JUST IN: ‘Three Musketeers’ Trailer

Posted in Flix Trailers, tagged , , , , , , , on March 26, 2011 | 26 Comments »

I’ve always had a soft spot for Alexandre Dumas’ 17th century classic tale The Three Musketeers. Now, I haven’t seen any of Paul W. S. Anderson’s movies (for better or worse), as he’s known for movies like Resident Evil, AVP: Alien vs. Predator, Death Race, etc., none of which is my cup of tea. So [...]

Posted in Random Thoughts, tagged , , , , , , , , , on March 22, 2011 | 35 Comments »

So late last week, Fox announced that Darren Aronofsky won’t be directing the new Wolverine film. As a fan of Wolverine and the X-Men franchise, this was a huge blow to me. Even though I’ve never read any of the comic books, I was a huge fan of the cartoon show that aired in the 90s. I also [...]
