  • Pulse: Critics Heart Journey To The Center Of The Earth 3D

    It's happening. Across the Web, early reviews for next weekend's Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D are moderately apologetic and yet thoroughly positive, with a fair number of comparisons to the  "Spielbergian wonder of old" popping up in support.

  • Movie Marketing Similarities: Beowulf Vs. 300

    FXRant has an interesting article about the many similarities between the Beowulf and 300 marketing campaigns. Both trailers have the lead, bearded, warrior hero, in closeup, loudly proclaiming that "THIS! IS! SPARTA!", or, "I! AM! BEOWULF!" Each trailer has an anachronistic guitar-riff-filled montage of violence, wrapped up with our warrior hero proclaiming something about "TONIGHT..."…

  • Overhyped Beowulf Buzz

    AintItCool ran the first supposed fan review of Beowulf earlier tonight.

  • Angelina Jolie Shows Off Side-Boobage On Beowulf Billboard

    In the past, I have railed against the MPAA for their over-regulation of movie advertising, especially when it comes to red-band trailers (don't get me started). I live in San Francisco, and am not conservative by any stretch of the imagination  But I really have to wonder how a billboard for the upcoming PG-13 rated…

  • New Beowulf Movie Trailer

    I just got home from a screening of Transformers in IMAX (more on that later), where they premiered another new trailer for Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf. Aside from the 3D coolness, I really have no interest in seeing this flick. The animation or motion capture looks as the story, which I'm sad to say was a…

  • Welcome To Comic-Con 2007

    I just arrived in San Diego this morning, and boy is this place beautiful. The airport was packed with comic book geeks.
