| Ryan Reynolds Possibly Taking The Lead In The ‘Highlander’ Reboot Posted: 19 May 2012 03:25 PM PDT  I like Ryan Reynolds. He's a very funny guy, a capable dramatic actor, and more often than not the best part of some godawful films. Even though last year's Green Lantern was an unequivocal failure on nearly every level, Reynolds' performance in the title role was solid enough to almost redeem the entire mess. However, I don't think Reynolds should be a part of, or even anchoring, every genre movie property with endless potential. Some movies the guy just doesn't seem to fit into. Case in point: Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment's reboot of the 1986 action-fantasy cult classic Highlander, which has been in development ever since Summit acquired the rights to the franchise from producers William Panzer and Peter Davis back in 2008. The project currently has Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) in the director's chair with a script by Iron Man scribes Matt Holloway and Art Marcum and the Spanish filmmaker's current top choice to be his sword-swingin' Scottish immortal Connor MacLeod is none other than Ryan Reynolds [...]      |
| Comic Review: The Dare! Detectives, Casebook No. 1: The Snow-Pea Plot Posted: 19 May 2012 01:00 PM PDT  The Dare! Detectives Casebook No. 1: 'The Snow-Pea Plot' Story and Art by Ben Caldwell Additional Colors and Inks by Bill Halliar and Mike Mucci Archaia Entertainment Release Date: January 10, 2012 Cover Price: $24.95 The Dare! Detectives are a trio of 'defective detectives' operating out of Enderby City.

While sitting at their landlord Uncle Chan's restaurant trying to figure out a way to pay the rent, they stumble upon a new criminal operation led by the Madame Bleu and and her angry panda bears.

| Posted: 19 May 2012 12:00 PM PDT  Stake Land Blu-ray Directed by Jim Mickle Written by Nick Damici and Jim Mickle Starring Nick Damici, Connor Paolo, Kelly McGillis, Sean Nelson, and Danielle Harris Dark Sky Films/MPI Media Group Release Date: August 2, 2011 The Story The world has been brought to its knees by an ever-growing force of ravenous vampires who leave nothing but death and despair in the wake of their rampages. In the United States, the country has been divided into a series of free zones, some of which are controlled by religious groups and volunteer militias who operate their territories like dictatorships and believe the vampires to be a plague sent from God to purify the human race and punish the wicked. Teenager Martin (Connor Paolo) watched his entire family be slaughtered by the bloodsuckers when America began to descend into chaos. Now he travels the country bringing merciless horror to the undead alongside his mentor and friend Mister (Nick Damici), the battle-hardened vampire hunter who saved him from sharing the fate of his loved ones [...]      |

| Top 5 Board Games That Would Make Great Movies Posted: 19 May 2012 10:10 AM PDT  Studios are always looking for a way to tie a movie to some element of pop culture in hopes of a guaranteed box office blow out. Board games may be the biggest stretch so far, but it is happening. With Battleship in theaters this weekend, it leads one to wonder: What other board games could be made into great movies? That's giving Battleship a lot of credit in advance, but we can just assume it will be great for the sake of this article, OK? There are other board game movies in the works, of course, with the most notable being Monopoly, which was originally to be directed by Ridley Scott. Others have already been made, such as Clue. Obviously Hollywood wants to utilize the big name board games for that coveted pop culture relevance, but there are also lesser known and even independent board games that might have something to offer to a feature film (yes we've already said the whole concept is a stretch). Here's our list of the Top 5 board games that would make great feature films [...]      |
| ‘The Avengers’ Blu-ray and DVD Release Date Set, Extra Features Announced Posted: 19 May 2012 08:01 AM PDT  Marvel Studios' all-star superhero spectacular The Avengers (Read FamousMonster's review here) was a four years-in-the-making gamble that continues to pay off handsomely - especially if your name happens to be Robert Downey Jr. Having raised the bar for every major studio blockbuster heading our way this year Disney has today set a release date for the film's Blu-ray/DVD bow as well as announced the line-up of bonus features that will be accompanying the main feature. The Avengers will be released on 4-disc Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D/DVD/Digital Copy; 2-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo packs; and single disc DVD. The only extra features on the DVD will be an audio commentary by writer-director Joss Whedon (and if you've ever heard one of his commentaries you'll find that a good reason to be excited) and the "Assembling the Ultimate Team" featurette [...]      |
