With strong competition coming a week later from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest Warner Brothers wants to make sure Superman Returns has every opportunity …

An Internet Oldie but Goodie
Have you all seen the list of Spoilers for Every Movie Ever Made? Can anyone tell me which movie this describes? “It was really the good sister that tried to kill the bad sister.”

Strangers in Paradise 82
SiP #82 is possibly the best single issue of an ongoing comic that I’ve read since at least Identity Crisis.

If you like Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim shows “Space Ghost: Coast to Coast,” “Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law” and “Sealab 2021″, Alex Toth designed …

Alan Kistler’s Chronology: DOCTOR WHO – 3rd Doctor
You know the drill by now. This is my view of events in the Doctor’s life and what works in a timeline. Unlike the Doctor Who Reference Guide, I do not choose to include EVERY SINGLE adventure published. The TV COMIC strips don’t really work for me as they’re all complete fluff and seem to …

X3 filled with gorgeous wimmins
Fox News, which surely wouldn’t concoct an entertainment story just to show pictures of hot models, has a feature on the New X-Babes.

An X3 Addendum
I am going to entrust the more detailed, lengthy reviews to Michael and Chris, but I wanted to throw in two quick things: 1) Ratner and the writers had to go into production of their script realizing that they were going to make a lot of enemies. I, for one, really admire the VERY daring …

X-Men trilogy Thematics – it can’t work like this
This is a line of thought I was on before I saw the movie and I had probably last week and last year. You know that the creative direction and vision has to have been changed to some extent. Either there was an abrubt turn in the track of the movie or Bryan Singer was …

X-Men: the Last Stand non-spoiler review
I will post a review that is filled with spoilers, gives away the beginning, middle, and the end, and I have no problem cracking open the movie to the curious, because if they are surprised or not the quality of the film or its entertainment value does not change. I went to the midnight show …

Booster Gold: A Look Back
This quaint and fun superhero romp is a great thing to look back on—to see a time when, even though he was adding new layers of complexity to the superhero genre, things were somehow much simpler for Booster Gold.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda
I was going to go to the midnight showing of “X-Men 3: Last Mutant Standing” just so I could write a review for Monitor Duty. Then I realized that I was seriously going to pay full price to watch this movie until 2AM, then come home and probably write for two hours before crawling to …

“Oh jeez, he’s crying!”
“What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?” Seth Green’s “Robot Chicken” shows the ending of the first Star Wars movie from Emperor Palpatine’s perspective. Yes, that’s Family Guy’s Seth MacFarlane as Palpatine. And correct me if I’m wrong, but is that Seth Green playing HIMSELF? If not, who is he supposed to be?

GHOST RIDER Trailer Available
The trailer for Ghost Rider is now available. It’s scheduled for release on February 16, 2007. Why they’d release a Ghost Rider movie on Valentine’s Day weekend instead of Halloween weekend is beyond me.

Continuing the chronology lists of DOCTOR WHO, here is my chronology list for the adventures of the Second Doctor. Again, this is my view. If you want a complete list of EVERY Second Doctor adventure published, check out the Doctor Who Reference Guide. This is continued from The First Doctor Chronology List and the SECOND …

New “Superman Returns” trailer!
The new “Superman Returns” trailer has succeeded in getting me better-hyped than the last one has. I mean, seeing Supes tear the wing off a plane is pretty dang cool, but something about the pacing of the trailer threw me off. But this one is great. And the very last part is amazingly done. Go …
