Fantastic Four

By Chris Beaumont The more that I see of this movie, the more I am looking forward to it. Danny Boyle hasn't failed yet, from his Brit-gangster flick Trainspotting, to his revisionist zombie movie 28 Days Later, to his family film Millions. This time he takes on the science fiction genre. The story follows a spa...

By Mel Odom The game evidently had to put more villains and more side treks into the play to boost the game time up. Even though I was expecting game play to be quite repetitive, it became even more repetitive than I would have believed. However, it proved into retaining to my nine year old. He had a blast lis...

By Daniel Cummings Just when things seem to be going smoothly for Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd), Sue Storm (Jessica Alba), Johnny Storm (Chris Evans), and Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis), an alien being known as the Silver Surfer (voiced by Laurence Fishburne) lands on earth, causing anarchy. The fantastic f...

By Mel Odom When I heard about InterWorld, the premise sounded truly exciting. Imagine a boy, Joey Harker, who could literally run into several of his alternate selves on parallel worlds. I figured immediately that the book had kind of a Sliders or Marvel Comics Exiles feel. I had a lot of hopes for the bo...

By Matt Paprocki Rise of the Silver Surfer wants to mimic Marvel Ultimate Alliance, ironic since the Fantastic Four were a part of that comic book tie-in. If you want to "flame on," play that title instead. This is nowhere close in any category. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is rated T (Teen) by the E...

By Mel Odom It will be interesting to see, if there is a Fantastic Four 3, if the Silver Surfer is mentioned again. Ioan Gruffudd returns as Mr. Fantastic. Jessica Alba is the Invisible Woman. Chris Evans is the Human Torch. And Michael Chiklis is the Thing. Julian McMahon returns as Doctor Doom.

By Chris Beaumont This may wind up being the final poster for the Dane Cook comedy vehicle. It looks sort of funny, but it still looks like Cook is attempting to channel Ryan Reynolds. The poster is a parody of the John Lennon/Yoko Ono cover. Not sure I like looking at it, but at least Jessica Alba looks to have a mor...

By Chris Beaumont The Silver Surfer rose to the top of the box office charts this weekend, unseating last week's winner, Ocean's 13. The sequel to 2005's Fantastic Four succeeded in surpassing the original in both quality and in its opening weekend gross. For my money, the movie has been the most satisfying s...

By Iloz Zoc I was grievously disappointed with Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. I wasn't grievously disappointed with the first Fantastic Four film, just very disappointed. But this second film definitely cut me to the quick. Deeply. I expected so much more.

By Chris Beaumont It appears that, at the moment, the biggest issue is trying to get Reed (Ioan Gruffudd) and Sue's (Jessica Alba) wedding to go down without a hitch. As for their celebrity, the four are dealing in a variety of ways. Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) loves the publicity and uses it to his hotheaded adv...

By Chris Beaumont Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. (2007, 89 minutes, PG, action, trailer) The second time around for this team of heroes will hopefully be a step up from the first. While the first was not nearly as bad as the early word would have had you believe, it was still a disappointment conside...

By Robert K. Blechman Recently I’ve seen all the old and new Superman movies (should I say golden and tarnished silver age?), Batman Begins (which, compared to the other Batman films, should have been called Batman Gets It Right), X-Men, Dos Equis, Triple Sec, and, of course, Spidey. (Does anyone besides me th...

By Kaonashi Oh yay, Fantastic Four 2 preview. Sure, the special effects look cool, but you know damn well that it's going to suck far worse than the disaster that was Spider-Man 3. I'll still watch it since I have no life, but I expect nothing of substance to come from it. I'm surprised though that the whole s...

By Vichus Smith Well it was either this or Fantastic Four. I had to at least taste the hype before I cried foul. This “new” Fantastic Four was hyped a bit during the last months of Civil War, so I made a last minute decision to pick it up. I’ve been off and on Black Panther, reading random issues that looked interes...

By Kaonashi Kaonashi means "No Face" in Japanese, and is named after her favorite character in the Hayao Miyazaki film "Spirited Away". She runs NoFace for Film, which features film reviews, news, and trailers. She welcomes you to pop over there to say hello.

By Tall Writer The Brothers Solomon could provide more comedy this summer. Will Arnett (Arrested Development) stars with current Saturday Night Live comedians Will Forte and Kristen Wiig. Animated super-hero Underdog transfers to live action with My Name is Earl’s Jason Lee voicing the featured can...

By Ian Woolstencroft Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer On the Money: If audiences have had enough of comic book heroes and the Fantastic Four flounder, this could pick up the slack On the other hand, if FF does well, this could pay the price. Predicted worldwide gross: $270m

By Ian Woolstencroft Forthcoming titles: The Highwaymen sounds like a great idea for a Hollywood buddy movie, albeit a geriatric one. Able “Speed” Monroe and Alistair McQueen were the ultimate couriers and they’re coming out of retirement for one last job, transporting a top secret package for a dead Presid...

By Ian Woolstencroft World War Hulk finally sees old Greenskin return to earth and to say he’s not happy would be the understatement of the year. Hulk writer Greg Pak teams with superstar artist John Romita Jr. for this five issue limited series while the equally talented Gary Frank takes over art duties on Incre...

By Don Hall Back in 1978, I was a pimply-faced seventh-grader who loved comic books. While 1977's Star Wars was an absolute milestone for me (and about a billion other twelve-year-old boys), it was Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie that was the more pivotal event. While Superman was never my favor...

By Casey Criswell The voice acting is top notch here as well. With all four Turtles being voiced by seemingly veteran voice actors, none of them are of the pop star variety cast for name recognition alone. This helps to give each of the turtles a unique personality as opposed to "Hey, that's what's his name from...

By Vichus Smith So in this issue, the first challenge the Avengers have as a unit is a bunch of monsters who have decided to surface from underground. If you’re a Fantastic Four fan, then you know who may be behind these monsters attacking, but there is more to this threat than the Avengers know.
