Viggo Mortensen Leaves ‘Snow White’ … For Superman?
— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — Halleluiah! Viggo Mortensen has left the “Snow White and the Huntsman” project. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed reading the “Huntsman” script, but the moment Kristen Stewart signed on, all hope for the film plummeted. And aside from poor casting choices,[...]
IJM Hits the Year-and-a-Half Mark
— by SEAN GERSKI — With websites — as with life — the longer it goes, the fewer anniversaries you will mark. I remember noting the first week, the first month, the second month and so on. After we hit one year, I stopped noticing the monthly anniversaries (a 14-month[...]
The First Full-Body Image of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — I’m in a good mood, so I’ll start with the positive. It was smart for Warner Bros. to get a full-body image of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman out to the public before a blurry or even-less-flattering picture got leaked. Also smart was the corporate s[...]

Diane Lane is Martha Kent
— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — As if taking a queue from “Smallville,” Diane Lane, an actress only in her mid-40s, has been cast as Martha Kent, Superman’s Earth mother. I can dig it! Lane is a wonderful actress and she is definitely admired. The only negative thing I foresee is[...]
