Under Review: ‘Coraline’
— by JON MARTINCIC — Henry Selick’s “Coraline” is a very twisted story. From animation to voice acting, there aren’t many aspects that really allow the viewer to feel comfortable. It’s everything we could ever expect from the director of “The Nightmare Before Christmas.”[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day’
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — I have never seen “Boondock Saints.” There is no real reason for this, I just haven’t seen it. I have seen it for sale on blu-ray for as low as $12.99, but I never, well, pulled the trigger. However, I have seen “Overnight,” the docum[...]

Guy Ritchie Snatches ‘Lobo’
— by SEAN GERSKI — A movie version of the DC comic book character Lobo is one of those film ideas that people have constantly doubted would ever get made. No matter how far along they got, someone would still say, “Yeah, but it will never see the light of day.”[...]
Brandon Routh Joins ‘Chuck’
— by Vanna Land — When I first heard the news that Brandon (Superman) Routh was joining the cast of “Chuck” for a multi-episode arc, I was very excited. I had just recently viewed the mockumentary “Stuntmen,” in which Routh shared a hilarious scene with Zachary Levi,[...]
‘Beavis and Butt-head’ Return to Promote ‘Extract’
Mike Judge’s “Office Space” remains one of my favorite movies of all time. His follow-up film, “Idiocracy,” was nowhere near as funny. However, I have high hopes for his forthcoming movie, “Extract,” starring Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck, Mila Kunis[...]
