And now he's in a new TV show . It's called Eagleheart and it's about an over-the-hill action star who uses his television show of the same...

Cinematical (Free subscription) | 11/16/2009

It's becoming a feature film, and The Hollywood Reporter posts that Working Title has found a new scribe in Will Reiser ( I'm With Cancer ). The rights had originally been bought back in 2007, and writer Bob Nelson had written a draft, but now, much like their senior subjects, the project is getting...

The Evolution of the Batman In Cartoons
Cool-Mo-Dee (Free subscription) | 11/07/2009
Batman first appeared in Detective Comics in 1939 and was little more than detective who wore a superhero costume. Batman's powers evolved along with the character through the years, eventually ending up on prime-time tv on the ultra-campy BATMAN (1966) tv show starring Adam West and Burt Ward. The popularity of this show eventually led to the creation of the first animated Batman series, Filmation's...

How Kick Ass Is KICK ASS? Pretty Kick Ass From The Sound Of It!
Ain't it Cool News (Free subscription) | 11/05/2009
As far as the actors go, Brit Aaron Johnson as Kick-Ass more than fills the lead role ably handling the accent, but I did feel that he lacked the vulnerability of the comic's Dave Lizewski, never nerdy enough and definitely too buff, but that's just nit-picking at a role that should catapult him into the big time. Christopher "McLovin" Mintz-Plasse proves that he has what it takes to hold...

Arab media and I
Angry Arab News Service (Free subscription) | 10/27/2009
I can't be hosted in Arab (or Iranian) media. The Aljazeera fellow who called me yesterday to invite me to offer a few opinions by phone (on US foreign policy, as always), he said that my voice has not been heard on AlJazeera in four months. I said: of course, not as I became a victims of their "sulhah" (reconciliation) with Saudi Arabia. And this morning a reporter for Al-Quds radio in Damascus...

Jalopnik (Free subscription) | 10/26/2009
Grab your cape and tights, and stop telling Robin you want to see the inside of his bat cave. Today, Nice Price or Crack Pipe has a homage to the Dynamic Duo's car, and that's no joke. Riddle me this, what's the most iconic car of 1960's television? The Monkeemobile? Munster Hot Rod? My Mother the Car? Not even close. The car that is seared into the consciousness of the Baby Boom generation is non...
