By Jeff, on December 12th, 2008 The Dark Knight
Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight, has stated that he’s in no hurry to make the second sequel to Batman Begins. He has reason to be cautious. Historically speaking, the third installment in a franchise has been, shall we say, lacking. Superman III, Spiderman 3, Terminator 3, Batman Forever, Rocky III, Police Academy 3… need I go on? Nolan’s got the right idea:

Superman Returns darker
Ever since Superman Returns was released, rumors were flying about the sequel. Would it happen? Would Bryan Singer return to helm it? Would anybody watch it?
Not long ago (May 7th, in fact), we were hearing that Bryan Singer would be getting Superman: The Man of Steel to theaters in 2009 with wall-to-wall action in a sequel . . . → Read More: Superman Returns, but not as expected
By Jeff, on July 21st, 2008 I don’t have it in me to write everything I think about this movie right now, but I wanted to get something down.
Just like Spider-man 2, this sequel takes an amazingly good predecessor and improves on it.
And just like in the Spider-man franchise, the key is focusing on the character’s development. Bruce/Batman learns a lot about himself and his chosen line of work – the limits, the responsibilities, and the consequences.

By Jeff, on July 21st, 2008 What is wrong with parents?
Today, my wife and I went to see two vastly different films, Wall-E and The Dark Knight (reviews to follow). In both films, there were families in the audience that made me want to go up to the parents and say “What are you thinking?! You have an important role to play as a parent, and you’re screwing it up!”
For the family in Wall-E, that would have been a . . . → Read More: Kids in the movie theater
By Jeff, on June 21st, 2008 Back in April I wrote a list of the movies I want to see this year in the theater. So far I’ve seen all the ones I called as a must-see and missed all the others (which, so far, is just Speed Racer).
When I go to the theater, I love to see the previews. I consider them an art unto themselves. It can’t be easy to tease an unfinished movie by pulling out the . . . → Read More: Summer Movie List 2 – Revenge of the Trailer
By Jeff, on May 7th, 2008 Lots of news and some rumors hitting the net lately… here are the best of the bunch for Sci-Fi and comics lovers:

By Jeff, on April 26th, 2008 Lots of movies are coming out this year that I would love to see in a theater, rather than waiting for DVD.
Here’s the list, in order of release, with release date. Boldface indicates movies I will not miss in the theaters – the others I will be disappointed if I have to miss for one reason or another:

By Jeff, on March 26th, 2008 The Dark Knight is coming out on July 18th. Everyone has heard of that. And I can’t wait.
But did you know about Batman Gotham Knight, the animated DVD (also downloadable) coming out on July 8th? Oh, yeah….. Batman gets the “Animatrix” treatment (well, sort of).

By Jeff, on October 11th, 2007 Apple – Trailers – The Dark Knight
I can’t believe no one told me this trailer was out.
Okay, visually it’s an extremely boring trailer. Pretty much, it’s the bat-symbol with a light show.
The voice-over, though, is cool. You get to hear the voice of the Joker. Not bad. Just a little Nicholson thrown in there – a slight homage.
This is my “can’t wait” film for 2008.
