At the 35th Annual Saturn Awards held in Burbank, California, the Academy of Science-Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films honored the best movies of the last year. The night belonged to the Superheroes. The comic book phase of 2008 was getting the appreciation it deserved. Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight (how the hell is this film still winning awards?) starring the late Heath Ledger, who won the Best Supporting Actor trophy, took home five awards including Best Action/Adventure Thriller.
Check out the full list of winners below…

Could director Christopher Nolan be turning his back on the bat? I know that was a corny opening but I had to do it. IGN is reporting that Nolan’s attachment to Warner Bros and a third Batman film isn’t set in stone. They cite a couple of sources that make his future with the rebooted franchise seem uncertain. Being that Batman is my favorite comic book character I had to delve in to this story.

Like most Batman fans I’ve been yearning for more of Gotham’s favorite anti-hero after last summer’s The Dark Knight. Director Christopher Nolan has kept any info regarding the next installment of the comic series away from all eyes and ears. Of course that hasn’t stopped rumors from running wild regarding possible villains and casting for the third film. Batman’s portrayer Christian Bale recently spoke about the next film in the franchise, and whether or not he or Nolan will return for another round.

It’s almost here! Warner Brother’s Watchmen will finally see the light of day this weekend, and we will get to see if all the Hollywood hoopla is justified. I’ve got a good feeling about Watchmen, and I’m hoping its a movie that lives up to all the hype. Therefore, in honor of the film’s release I’ve decided to compile a list of my top 10 comic book adaptations. Some may be expected, while others may come as a surprise. Either way give me your two cents on who you think should or shouldn’t be included.
Let’s begin…….

Even before The Dark Knight hit theaters last summer, the Oscar buzz surrounding Heath Ledger’s take on the maniacal Joker was deafening. Fast forwarding to 2009, Ledger has not only received his Academy Award nomination, but has dominated the Best Supporting Actor category as a whole. The actor has already posthumously won the Golden Globe and SAG award for his performance, and the Oscar is in arm’s reach. Ledger is the favorite to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar at this year’s ceremony, but a big mystery still remains. If he wins, who will accept the award on his behalf?

I’ve vaguely been paying attention to any news regarding the Lost Planet video game adaptation, for obvious reason’s but today something caught my eye. According to CHUD, during an interview with Capcom’s Corporate Officer Toshihiro Tokumaru, a bomb was dropped regarding what type of movie this is really going to be. The head honcho has big plans for this film, and when you want to make a big movie, you have to spend big money. Guess how much dough this guy is willing to part with for this passion project.
Find out after the jump.

I think you’re better of catching up on, or re-watching any of the 2009 Oscar nominated films. I bet you even though it’s a re-release, The Dark Knight is still going to cream the rest of the films. Inkheart is an okay kids movie, Underworld is relying on Bill Nigh’s awesomeness, and as for Donkey Punch it’s so ridiculously bad you that if you’re trashed and not easily offended, you MIGHT enjoy it. But I think this is one of the only movies that I would say, download, it’s not even worth the price of a DVD rental.
Trailer below…

For many of us, the holidays are just beginning. Oscar Season is definitely the most wonderful time of the year. 2008 has been an especially stimulating year in film – the competition is fierce, my friends! While most rumored Best Picture candidates seem suitable, and more or less expected – Chris Nolan’sThe Dark Knight is sparking hordes of controversy regarding a potential nom. And I am here to assert that, yes, 2008′s highest grossing box office film – The Dark Knight – does not deserve an Oscar Nomination.
Let me preface this by saying I am absolutely a fan of this film. In fact, I saw The Dark Knight multiple times in theaters. It was the box office hit of the summer, clearly epitomizing cinematic entertainment. However, the key phrases here are “entertainment” and “summer box office hit.” Do you really think that TDK could stand up to last years winner No Country for Old Men? Or even the runners up, There Will be Blood or Atonement? No!
