Walt

It’s official, Wonder Woman will not be a series on NBC.  NBC held more up fronts today and Entertainment Weekly has learned the network passed on David E. Kelley’s Wonder Woman pilot.

The pilot starred Adrianne Palicki as Diana, Elizabeth Hurley and Cary Elwes. There’s no official reason why the show was passed over but that “scuttlebutt reveals the pilot earned mixed reviews at test screenings. And then…

Thor Movie Review Marvel

Walt

I just reviewed the movie Thor and was impressed with the story and technical content. I watched in 3D while I always have problems getting the 3D glasses just right because of my prescription glasses the picture was sharp and very well done, quality 3D effects. The movie had a lot to say and the 2 hours was used well. Asgard was done beautifully, truly a place of the Gods.  [Spoilers Ahead] The relationship between Jane Foster and Thor was very touching. It began with Thor as an arrogant castaway…

Green Lantern: Emerald Knights is similar to Batman: Gotham Knight, will be an anthology film that tells a series of stories featuring various members of the Green Lantern Corps, including Abin Sur, Sinestro, Kilowog, Mogo, and Rori Dag.

NBC came under fire when it released the first photo of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman earlier this month. As THR.com Heat Vision blogger Borys Kit pointed out, fanboys said she looked “too trashy, too bad-porn-y,” Fox said her look wasn’t patriotic enough and even Lynda Carter, who played her in the ’70s TV series, weighed in with a big negative with glossy look. Los Angeles Times ran a poll asking readers whether the new version was a good representation of the Amazon princess character or more akin to a…
