Reactions to M... Mania talks with "Terra" director Aristomenis Tsirbas
by Pat Ferarra (Fri 03-30-2007)
In the wake of so many lucrative CG films it’s easy to see that early blockbusters like Toy Story (1995) and Shrek (2002) were the frontrunners for traditional animation’s demise. Now 12 years after the first theatrical release of a CGI fea... The Remaking of STAR TREK, Part 1: After the Cancelation
by Edward Gross (Tue 12-07-1999)
Network cancellation was the best thing that could have ever happened to STAR TREK. Had NBC renewed the show for a fourth or even a fifth year, the series would have undoubtedly continued to chug along. But, with considerable budget cuts each season, ther...

by Ed Chavez (Mon 03-06-2006)
Ed Chavez: Well, thanks for joining me today, Dallas. I have to say, at least for Anime on DVD and for my own podcast, Mangacast, it’s just been the general consensus that, over the past year, Del Rey has basically been the best publisher for, rea... Comicscape - May 11, 2005

by Steve Biodrowski (Tue 03-21-2000)
Just about the most imaginative and outrageously entertaining film to emerge last year was THE MATRIX, a science fiction cyberspace thriller mixed with profuse pyrotechnics and harrowing Hong Kong-style martial arts. In a just world, a film this good woul... Hailing Frequencies Stardate 0115.01

Sheer circumstance contributed to this week’s focus on our Star Spotlight column. It was either sheer force of strange happenstance or some higher power giving such inspiration. There I was at the computer with my coke and skittles ready to begin wr... .hack//SIGN Vol. #1: Login

The Review!The technical aspects of the show and the LE box are pretty much as Chris has described it. The music and video are very well done and outstrip what\'s on Cartoon Network. Even the sound levels have been corrected so the background music does... Cartoons in a theater?
by Brian Thomas (Mon 04-30-2007)
At one time, every time you went to a movie theater you saw a cartoon short. The entire motion picture business was convinced that they had to provide a full evening (or afternoon) of entertainment for the ticket price, and that generally meant includi... Kosinski Directing TRON Sequel
by Jarrod Sarafin, News Editor (Tue 09-11-2007)
Director Joseph Kosinski's resume continues to grow according to the Hollywood Reporter. Just last month, Warner Bros hired on the director to lead the upcoming remake of LOGAN'S RUN. Now, the trade is reporting he has also signed on the dotted line for T... Hoyt Curtain, A Tribute
by Steve Fritz (Mon 12-25-2000)
I got the sad news that one of animation`s all-time great creators, Hoyt Curtain, passed away sometime during the second week of December of natural causes. Obits are vague on the exact date of his passing away, but they all do say he was 78 years old. Cu... Being a Brief Discussion of Anime Dubs: Maburaho, Volume One
by Way Jeng (Tue 05-03-2005)
Any fan who spends enough time watching anime eventually learns how to classify new shows into any one of several categories. Some shows are difficult to label and never admit to any one sub-genre. Others are relatively easy and fit a niche with minimal f... Secret Invasion: Implications and Musings

by Tony Whitt (Wed 06-23-2004)
OPINION: I'm not entirely sure why, but I got neither death threats nor a lot of positive feedback on last week's musings about Captain America. I hope that doesn't mean no one cares about the old man anymore... My thanks, though, to the two(!) readers wh... Harlan Ellison: Writer on the Edge of Forever

OPINION: I've only recently become familiar with John Constantine, the lead character in Vertigo's longest-running series to date, HELLBLAZER. Even so, I was appalled to hear the changes that were being made to the character to bring him to the screen - a... Director Patrick Gleason brings THE LAUGHING DEAD to life.
by John Thonen (Fri 01-21-2000)
Director Patrick Gleason cringed as the police officers approached. It was early in the 1996 production of his debut film, and his long-expired city filming permit was the least of his worries. If the officers found out he was shooting without the permiss... Andromeda's Gordon Michael Woolvett
by Michelle Erica Green (Tue 01-30-2001)

It seems that the very mention of the word "reboot" was enough to rile many of you and for good reason though it seems that's not all you were worked up about this week. And speaking of being worked up about something in comics...isn't page four of IDEN... ON THE LOT: Five Final Films

Finally! I said it several reviews back that it would be better to announce the eliminated filmmaker right at the beginning of each episode to get it out of the way and not confuse viewers about voting at the end of the episode. So right away, A... Friends, Romans, Convicts…
