We don’t normaly do straight to DVD fare here at STS (unless it’s a really gnarly gore-fest of course), but until Ryan Reynolds decides to show us his ring there’s a distinct lack of superpowered action on screens at the moment, and DC’s animation department is currently firing them out like a lone baby rocketing away from an exploding planet, so we figured we’d take a look.
And anyway, it’s my blog and I like comic books, so balls to you….
Plenty of ‘Best Movie of the Decade’ lists have crawled out of the woodwork lately but luckily we were too lazy to bother – for the record, I’m torn between Aqua teen Hunger Force Colon , City of Ember and The Sasquatch Gang – but that didn’t stop plenty of other, lesser movie sites pumping them out like Roger Ebert’s ill-born spawn. ( Filmschoolrejects even went as far as compiling a list of every movie of the decade. And missed about 50,000 movies -good list though.)
Anyway, it seems that all these critical shenanigans created enough raw data to be fed into the cold, cash-centric crystal mind of a robocritic and create a mathematical equasion that reveals the definitive best movies of the decade.
Apparently hollywood.com staffer C.Robert Cargill wasn’t satisfied with mere opinions, deciding instead to back his shit up with cold hard facts. Well, you can prove anything with facts can’t you?
With chilly crapola-fest Whiteout currently packing idiots into multiplexes across the globe, STS investigates Hollywood’s long, unhappy tradition of snow-bound terror and destruction. Put on your furry hat and long johns and follow us then dear reader, as we explore the –quite literally-coolest characters, scenes and entire movies that utilise the snow, ice and general brrr-chilly-ness of the tundra to such startling effect; yep, it’s the STS guide to: Arctic Flicks!
News from the four-colour world this morning, with Ant-Man rumours rife, and a certain Parent company swallowing up the DC Universe like Galactus on a particularly peckish day.
Disappointing news for Bat-Fans.
Unconfirmed news reports, but from a notoriously reliable source suggest that Christopher Nolan, the man who changed Batman from an embarrassment to the comic-book-to-movie sub-genre to a truly kick-ass franchise may not return for the third installment.
According to the source, the death of Heath Ledger hit Nolan hard, not only on a personal level, but professional too, as the third Bat-Flick was to have a strong focus on The Joker. The insider knowledge goes on to state that the first we an expect to see the third movie will be in 2012.
The only good point about this may be that the window can give studios a chance to develop other DC Comics properties.
Green Lantern anyone?
