Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau recently got an "Atta Boy!" from George Lucas. Lucas handpicked Favreau to interview him next weekend at the Four Seasons hotel in Chicago. Favreau will also present Lucas with the Gene Siskel Film Center Visionary Award for Innovation in Filmmaking (...for making one of the greatest sci-fi trilogies of all ti
In __ the landmark The Dark Knight , Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) flips his signature double-headed coin during a courtroom scene, using it to decide whether he or Rachel Dawes should take the case. When the coin lands his way, he smirks and says, "I make my own luck." At first, it’s a charming display of confide
Pro - Disney is a universal name with pockets so deep that God's hand would have a hard time reaching the bottom. Marvel is no slouch either in the household name department - but let's face it, they are no Disney. All that extra money, means way more marketing and increased traffic within the theme parks (sorry Universal but looks like you might lose the X-Men characters in your parad
Under the deal Disney will now control and own 5,000 Marvel characters, including Iron Man and marvel’s spider-man 2 missions|https://spiderman2mix.com/ . If Marvel shareholders approve the deal, they will receive $30 per share and will also receive .745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own. Both the Disney and Marvel board of directors have approved the deal, but it still has to go through an anti-trust review. I don't see there being any problem with the anti-trust review nor do I see the marvel shareholders turning up their noses to such a fantastic offer. Most likely, later this week, we should see final word on the resolution of this agreem
Just as soon as the Christmas Eve parade is about to begin, centaur-like angels attack the city, causing Bayonetta to stop her holiday shopping and the fallen angel Rodin, dressed as Santa Claus, to help her by gifting her brand-new g
X-Men, released in 2000, introduces Wolverine and Rogue as they join Professor Xavier's private academy for mutants. The resident superhero team, the X-Men, led by Xavier, confronts a terrorist organization of mutants with similar abilities, highlighting the ongoing conflict between humans and muta
As I already mentioned, Marvel Pinball comes with four different tables. However, this is mostly like getting four different maps. These four tables offer their own subtle twists to a conventional pinball table, but, in the end, they all play largely similar to each other. You have a button to launch the ball, buttons for the left and right flipper, and the ability to tilt the table. That's all. Although the game's physics are spot-on with capturing exactly how a pinball machine should play in real life, I feel that there was a missed opportunity here. Just because you have true to life physics, that doesn't mean you should be limited to simulating an actual pinball machine. There are some far-fetched scenarios on these tables already; for example: Wolverine and Sabretooth battle each other after hitting certain areas on the table. With that said, why not take it a step further, and offer something as fun and over-the-top as the characters that are featured. Marvel Pinball has four different machines, but once you have played one, you've played them all. This ultimately leads to a rather boring experience that will have you moving on very quic
As a pinball game, Marvel Pinball is as solid as they come. The physics featured in this game are identical to pinball machines you would find at your local arcade. Plus, you get to enter and record your high scores, compare them up against the world, compare them against your friends, and even the vibration feedback makes you feel that much closer to the real thing. You also have all the standards that come with a pinball table, including bumpers, rails, stand-up targets, etc. I especially like the fact that the game has the courtesy to move the Xbox Live notifications to the middle of the screen instead of at the bottom, because, if you know anything about pinball, you know that covering any part of the bottom of the screen could result in the loss of a ball. You lose three balls, and you're out. Game o
According to those same tweets, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow is also 'kicking ass"; Marvel president of production Kevin Feige was quoted at a recent industry conference as saying that Black Widow has "two sides" in film. Is that a refernce to her intitial entry as Tony Stark's assistant, only to be later revealed as super-spy Black Widow? Or is it a reference (as First Showing 's Alex Billington speculates ) to a villainous betrayal by the lovely Russian spy? Guess we'll find out when we see the mo
