“Why the world doesn’t need Superman”. That’s the title of Lois Lane’s Pulitzer winning article, an article fueled by the emotions felt after the inexplicable disappearance of the man she loved. It could just as feasibly be the subtitle of Brian Singer’s attempt at bringing the Man of Steel back to cinema screens. But what [...]

Review: X-Men: The Last Stand
Dear Brett Ratner,

School Reunion, by grown up standards, isn't that great.
But that's missing the point, [...]
Super-powered trailer
I had a bad feeling about this: I really did have my doubts as to whether this was going to work, whether Singer might have made a really bad choice opting for The Man of Steel instead of the mutants he'd taken care of twice before.
I think the trailer has dispelled most of my [...]
