TALK BACK: The Adventures of Tintin

Posted on by

Steven Spielberg’s take on Herge’s Tintin has arrived in the United States, and is on track to at least make it into the top five for the weekend (hopefully beating out Alvin & the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked).

Tintin and Captain Haddock set off on a treasure hunt for a sunken ship commanded by Haddock’s ancestor. But someone else is in search of the ship.

TALK BACK: Immortals

Posted on by

Even though the summer block buster season has come and gone, there are still plenty of movies to talk about, including this week’s release of Immortals.

Theseus is a mortal man chosen by Zeus to lead the fight against the ruthless King Hyperion, who is on a rampage across Greece to obtain a weapon that can destroy humanity.

We want to know what you think.  Use the comment section below to share your thoughts, ideas, solutions, and reviews of the movie. Did the producers screw up Greek Mythology too much, or not enough? Was the film better than the most recent remake of Clash of the Titans? Is the movie better than 300?

Oh, and if you missed our discussion over the Immortals trade that serves as a prequel to the movie, take a listen here.

TALK BACK: Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1

Arriving in stores today is the first issue of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man featuring the all-new, all-amazing Miles Morales as Spider-Man.

“We’re extremely proud of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 and excited for fans to discover the origin of this new Spider-Man,” said Axel Alonso, Marvel Editor in Chief. “Brian and Sara have created an important new character in Miles Morales, one that speaks not only to the diversity—in background and experience—of a modern reader, but also to what it means to be a super hero in today’s world.”

While the weeks have been filed with talk of DC’s New 52, it’s time for you to talk about this new change to the Ultimate Spider-Man.

Posted on by

We will bring our Dueling Review coverage of Justice League #1 your way this afternoon when A) we get off work, and B) after we get our butts to the comic book store.  Until then, here’s your chance to talk about Justice League #1.  The midnight release saw long lines at some comic stores, and we learned that it became one of the top download files from the various bittorrent sites an hour after the book went on sale.

Did you get your copy of Justice League #1?  What did you think?  Did Johns and Lee bring the magic, or did the fumble on the one yard line and ruin everything?  Lover or hater? Physical copy or LEGAL digital download? Here’s your chance to share your thoughts on one of the biggest changes to occur in the DC Universe in the last decade.

TALK BACK: Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark

Posted on by

The Summer Movie Season is quickly winding down, but there are still movies that are generating a lot of talk.  This weekend, it’s Guillermo del Toro’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark directed by Troy Nixey.

A young girl sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend discovers creatures in her new home who want to claim her as one of their own.

Did you see it? Were you scared out of your undies, or did you sit calmly throughout the entire movie brushing off the scary moments as nothing you haven’t seen before?

TALK BACK: Conan the Barbarian

Conan the Barbarian has returned to theaters, and though many have dismissed the movie as nothing to concern ourselves about, there are some who are really excited to see what Jason Momoa brings to the character.

TALK BACK: Final Destination 5

Posted on by

The fifth (and final?) installment of the Final Destination series has arrived in theaters, and since it is Friday, and we know you have disposable income, we’re betting at least some of you went to the theater to see the movie.

Survivors of a suspension-bridge collapse learn there’s no way you can cheat Death.

Kind of sums it up right there, doesn’t it?

We want to know what you think.  Use the comment section below to share your thoughts, ideas, solutions, and reviews of the movie.  Did it suck? Did it blow? Did it suck and blow? Or did it rock? Did it roll? Did it get you scared to drive across a bridge during rush hour?

TALK BACK: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Posted on by

The summer 2011 movie season has almost come to a close, but before the door shuts completely, and we hunker down for the dismal fall movie season, H’wood has a few more flicks for us to check out. Today, Rise of the Planet of the Apes arrives in theaters.

An origin story set in present day San Francisco, where man’s own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.

Did you see it? Was it a perfect lead in to the modern Planet of the Apes saga, or did it lack that certain something?
