Warner Brothers Now Developing ‘Wonder Woman’ As A TV Series

Posted: 02 Oct 2010 01:57 PM PDT



A movie version of Wonder Woman has been talked about for years with many names rumored to be possible stars and scripts written by people like Joss Whedon, but for one reason or another, it never found a way to work out.

Now Warner Brothers is trying something else in hopes of making some magic out of this property. The studio's television department is now developing a modernized version of the character for the small screen. They're also reaching out to none other than David E. Kelley as a possible writer and producer of the show if things work out this time around.

Kelley has worked as a writer and producer on some of the biggest television series ever made. His double-duty credits include Doogie Howser, M.D., L.A. Law, Picket Fences, Chicago Hope, Ally McBeal, Boston Public, The Practice, and Boston Legal. He's also done film work, writing and producing Lake Placid, To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday, and Mystery, Alaska. [...]

Movie Review: Let Me In

Posted: 02 Oct 2010 12:40 PM PDT

Let Me In

Let Me In
Directed by Matt Reeves
Starring Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloe Moretz, Richard Jenkins, Elias Koteas
Rated R
Release date: October 1, 2010

Let Me In is an American remake of the Swedish film Let the Right One In. Owen, portrayed by Kodi Smit-McPhee, lives with his mom in an apartment complex. Owen's parents are divorced and he is constantly bullied at school. Things begin to change when Owen meets and befriends Abby (Chloe Moretz, a girl who moves into his apartment complex. Abby behaves a little strangely, but their friendship continues to grow. Eventually, Owen learns that Abby is a vampire and has to feed on human blood to survive.

Kodi Smit-McPhee is very believable as the pitifully frail Owen. It is hard not to feel sympathy with him when he is verbally and physically abused by a gang of bullies led by Kenny. Kenny is portrayed by Dylan Minnette as an evil, callous child. Chloe Moretz follows up her excellent portrayal of Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass with another strong performance as the eternal vampire girl Abby. Smit-McPhee and Moretz play their roles perfectly and their puppy-love relationship seems very plausible. [...]

Watch Now: ‘Saturday Night Live’ Season 36 Premiere

Posted: 02 Oct 2010 11:50 AM PDT

SNL

Season 36 of Saturday Night Live premiered this past Saturday night, with host Amy Poehler, the former SNL castmember now starring on the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation.

The entire show is online at NBC.com, but I picked a few of my favorite sketches and embedded the videos here below.

One of the clips is Poehler's monologue, which has a bunch of cool cameos. There's also "Bronx Beat," which apparently I'm in, according to my friend and GoD contributor Justin Vactor, who basically thinks any woman with a New York accent is me. And that's fine, because Mr. Vactor was on this episode of SNL too -- check out the "Will Smith" clip!

If you're a fan of Katy Perry, who was the musical guest for the season premiere, then definitely check out "Bronx Beat," as she makes an appearance.

For tonight's episode, Bryan Cranston, star of Breaking Bad (he was also the dad on Malcolm in the Middle), hosts the show with musical guest Kanye West. [...]

‘The Hobbit’ To Finally Get Greenlight? Fire Damages Peter Jackson’s New Zealand Set

Posted: 02 Oct 2010 11:00 AM PDT



Some potentially good news in regards to Peter Jackson's constantly complicated endeavor to adapt J.R.R. Tolkien's original tale of The Hobbit into a two-part feature film. The good news is also followed by a bit of bad news, naturally.

There's been endless news and discussions when it comes to The Hobbit, and it's felt like the movie has been coming for a decade now. The truth is that the movie itself never even got the greenlight from studios, though it was universally expected to be happening one way or another -- the greenlight was just a formal detail. Then came the departure of director Guillermo del Toro and all of the financial woes of MGM, who were set to go dutch with Warner Brothers and New Line Cinema on the project, bringing to surface the very real chance that this movie simply would never happen.

Now, according to several sources close to the many parties involved, an official greenlight on the project could come in the next few days with Peter Jackson still set to direct. [...]

Posted: 02 Oct 2010 09:28 AM PDT



Hawx 2
PLATFORM: PS3
DEVELOPER: Ubisoft
PUBLISHER: Ubisoft
RELEASE DATE: September 7, 2010

The new installment in the Tom Clancy jet fighter series, Hawx 2 looks to take aerial combat to the next level.

The new game allows you to jump into the cockpit of high-powered flying machine, prepped and ready for warfare. United States, United Kingdom, Russia -- you'll play as them all, facing many different missions as you deal with a major threat and a missing Russian nuclear weapons.

Hawx 2 is one of those games you have to be into to enjoy. The game isn't really about the story, but flying these military aircrafts and fighting your way out of some pretty intense aerial battles. It would be hard for someone not interested in things such as this to enjoy themselves, but if you were ever a kid playing with your toy planes and pretending to be a top fighter pilot, this is a game that you could find yourself having a lot of fun with.
