"If you buy the kids only one new video release this week, make it Pinocchio. Obviously. But if you have enough spending money to buy two, pick up Howard the Duck as well. Finally on DVD in America (with a Special Edition no less), the infamous flop is anything but a great film. Yet it is hardly one of the worst films of the 1980s, despite its reputation. For the past 23 years, I’ve stood by my childhood love for Howard the Duck, constantly acknowledging that I even owned Ellis Weiner’s novelization of the film. Technically, the best reason to defend the movie’s existence is that it directly led to the creation of Pixar. But this reason doesn’t influence anyone to watch the thing. So, in order to defend the movie’s onscreen worth, I’ve come up with ten points for why you should pick up the new Howard the Duck disc and not feel at all guilty about doing so. < "

"Everyone is linking to this clip from the “Batman” TV show as an example of what to expect from last night’s debate. While that’s a decent point to make I’d also like to point out that whatever episode this was taken from obviously served as the inspiration for Batman Returns.

"It's been three years now since Batman Begins was released and to say that anticipation for The Dark Knight was high would be an understatement. I cannot remember a film other than The Phantom Menace for which anticipation has been so high. Fortunately this film delivers on most of that expectation and is, in my opinion, the best Batman film to date. Spoilers follow When Tim Burton returned to the Batman franchise to shoot Batman Returns, he imposed a darker style on the film than in his first effort. Nolan follows the same path, albeit to more acclaim, as he shows us a world threatened by anarchism and the breakdown of order. This world is less stylised than the Gotham of previous films - this feels much more like a modern, Western city. The banks look real, the buildings look real and as a result the violence that hits this city feels more immediate and disturbing. Opposite Christian Bale's Batman is the excellent Heath Ledger who deserves the critical acclaim his performance rec ... "

"If John McCain doesn’t become the next President of the United States, perhaps he could take a completely different sort of gig, as The Penguin in the next Batman movie. Of course, there’s already a worthy candidate for that role, too, but if Philip Seymour Hoffman doesn’t want the job, Christopher Nolan should give it to the senator. That is, if Nolan actually decides to include the villain in his next installment, and so far it hasn’t seemed likely that he would. The idea of McCain as The Penguin sparked from a campaign speech the presidential candidate gave last Friday in which he inadvertently channeled Burgess Meredith while congratulating his running mate, Sarah Palin, on her performance at the VP debate the night before. Since then, YouTubers galore have sampled the speech, whether using the audio to redub a scene from Batman Returns, as you can see in today’s Clip (and here "

"It’s funny how out of control a rumor can spin on the web. The Angelina Jolie as Catwoman “news” has to be at the top of the list of most reported unconfirmed rumors ever. And it’s sad that it’s not actually true, because after seeing Jolie in the dominatrix outfit she wears at the beginning of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, I’d be perfectly fine seeing her wear another tight black costume for a possible third Christopher Nolan-directed Batman movie. But who instead could play the part, if Jolie is indeed not interested, or not even offered the role (or, obviously, if Catwoman is not in the movie, as screenwriter David Goyer has apparently hinted)? One theory says that Maggie Gyllenhaal will return in the follow-up to The Dark Knight, this time donning a catsuit (

"Putting something as sexy as Catwoman with the Penguin was a great combination, unlikely allies, but genius idea. Christopher Walken always has that "crook" thing going for him in the movie business mainly because of his accent, but you got to love him. Michael Keaton sucks, but this movie still rocks with it's dark twists and aspact. "
