Plans for Men in Black franchise helmer Barry Sonnenfeld’s collaboration with legendary comic writer Grant Morrison, was first announced more than a year ago. Titled Dominion: Dinosaurs vs Aliens, it would be released as both a graphic novel as well as an animated feature film. Since then we haven’t seen all that much about it, but now a new motion …
If you’ve read my review of The Amazing Spider-Man, you’ll have noticed that I decried the film’s retelling of exactly the same old origin story we’d already seen in Sam Raimi’s trilogy, when every bit of promo material for the movie had promised an “untold story”.

Pearce looks like he’ll just be chewing …

With director Darren Aronofsky jumping ship and handing over the adamantium-laced responsibility to James Mangold, fans have been left to wonder just how authentic this sequel will keep things, when Logan goes native in Japan. With this …
David Koepp is one of the highest paid screenwriters in history, but quality-wise he’s had a career spottier than a leopard with acne. His latest effort, Premium Rush, which he also directs, seems no different. The film’s incredible two leads -Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Shannon – alone would normally warrant attention from me, but then you see the trailer of …
