Uh-oh. We knew that handing the reins for the upcoming superduper-crossover-megafranchise Avengers movie to ubernerd Joss Whedon was risky, but this poster has us more than a little nervous. Four of the six superpeople pictured cannot fly, and yet, there …

Captain Kirk's disturbing experience yesterday was apparently enough to get Spielberg curious about the way J.J. Abrams would handle the whole "homage to E.T." thing...

I'm not saying that Super 8 falls prey to this unfortunate bit of Screenwriting 101. I'm just saying. http://vimeo.com/24669583 via Film Drunk

My review of J.J. Abrams' latest, Super 8, is still bubbling away on the stove. While we wait, how's about we join Captain Kirk as he takes in Abrams' last effort, the Star Trek "reboot"...

Given Mr. Marks's astonishing recollection of the glories of Super 8, I can't think of a better time to mention the hi-tech nostalgia-factory that is the Super 8 app (free for a limited time!) Now you can use your iPhone …

Iron Man has a question for Wolverine, Batman, Thor, and Captain America.

Look, we all loved Reese Witherspoon as a man-stealing slut in Walk the Line. (Yes, yes, Johnny Cash is the one who left his wife and the mother of his children for a showbiz blondie, but what are we gonna …

X-Men: First Class has had its moment. Looking ahead to July, we have Captain America: The First Avenger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sff8gNloRRs Um. I can't believe that someone hasn't tossed this out there before, but just in case: Cheers!

Mr. Marks thinks that "the raging romance between [Elizabeth] Taylor and [Richard] Burton is best left for some stargazing television hack to direct, not Marty [Scorsese]." Also that Natalie Portman "has far too much talent and not enough feminine pulchritude …

You probably don't remember way back a few days ago when I said that Midnight in Paris was Woody Allen's Inception. But I do. I even made a comic about it. Gold star for me!

Hoo, boy. You know how, in the Hangover movies, they eventually find a bunch of stuff on a smart phone that documents their horrific group bender? Well, apparently, I made sangria a while back. If things look a little sideways, …

Apparently, I managed to pull out of my Hangover-inspired bender long enough to actually write a review. While I was at it, I took a gander at 13 Assassins, How to Live Forever, and Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His …

Besides both being released in July, Captain America and the final Harry Potter movie both feature villains who are, well...

Yeah, I cropped the text a little there. My first time and all. But it does illustrate the importance of being a telepath when assembling a team for a dangerous mission.

Vulture has already mentioned the practice of avoiding A-list stars when casting summer blockbusters. Long story short: they're expensive, and they're not what you're coming to see, so who needs 'em? But what struck me about the relative bargains who …

...I'm joining the chorus that says Crispy Fried Chicken is the best in San Diego. Rebuttals? C'mon, you foodies, prove me wrong!

I know, I know - I've already referenced this Andrew O'Hehir essay on the crapitude of Christian movies here at The Big Screen. I should quit while I'm ahead - which is something people always say right before they refuse …
