The first trailer for Clash of the Titans, directed by Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk) has arrived on the scene. And boy is it engineered for a post-MTV generation. This looks like a CGI-fest through and through, and its flashy editing is all bulked up by the rock soundtrack its paired with.
In other words: this [...]
Edward Norton’s a pretty versatile guy. He’s able to ricochet between roles in heavy stuff like 25th Hour and American History X while still maintaining a presence in slightly lighter fare like Fight Club, The Illusionist, and The Incredible Hulk. You might notice that those seem pretty heavy for their genres, but then again, Norton’s [...]
Like it was for many males of my generation, Fight Club was a formative film of my youth. It was brutal, hip, mean and fun — everything that a young teenager aspires to be!
Unlike many other males of my generation, I understood it was satirical and sarcastic, and that fight clubs were indeed not cool [...]
In a majorly unexpected turn of events, it seems that the Walt Disney Company has bought Marvel Entertainment for the lofty sum of $4 billion. The House of Mouse now has the rights to thousands of comic book characters, and Marvel has gained a marketing giant in the process.
Robert A. Iger, president of the Walt [...]

The folks of Top Cow Productions team up with these two to bring the mystical action/drama Magdalena to the big screen.
Set to already write the [...]
Actors Liam Neeson (Taken) and Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter: The Half Blood Prince) have taken their rightful place as the mighty gods in the remake of Clash of the Titans. Neeson will be taking the throne being the head of the Greek gods, Zeus. Fiennes will slide his way into yet another villainous role as [...]
Boy, 2008 was all over the map in terms of movies. Most of them were torn down with varying degrees of critical hostility and, in the majority of those cases, the hate was justified. From movies like 10,000 B.C. to The Happening, there have been some big stinkers among audiences this year. What follows is [...]
Check out the featurette for the upcoming Transporter 3 starring our favorite badass Jason Statham. The first two films were directed by Louis Leterrier of Incredible Hulk fame.
I would probably assume that this movie is just an addition to the films rather than anything new, but it seems to me its a cross between Transporter 2 [...]
The genre of the cop film seems to have become a dumping ground for film critics, and while I do acknowledge the fact that any movie dealing with the Boys in Blue released these days do follow the same basic formula, my belief is that whether or not the film is good lies in the [...]
The DVD release for The Incredible Hulk is quickly approaching (it’s October 21 to be exact) and the buzz is building as to what’s available on the special 3-disc set . Well we have some tidbits for you all here at Atomic Popcorn. While this rework of The Hulk was much better than the Ang [...]
2008 may very well be remembered as “the year of the superhero”. This is the year that gave us the immaculate “The Dark Knight”, the crowd-pleasing “Incredible Hulk” (although it did everything BUT please me), and of course the surprisingly strong “Iron Man” starring Robert Downey Jr. The latter has just been released on DVD [...]
A few weeks ago DC Comics and Warner Brothers got together and realized that they need to fix their broken comic book to movie formula. Except for 5 movies in 30 years, they have had tons of problems with the rest. Superman: The Movie (1978), Superman II (1983)Batman (1989), Batman Begins (2005), and The Dark [...]
