"Are you one of the many sci-fi and comic book geeks who’d be more interested in Push were it not for Dakota Fanning? Sure, the precocious child star is now a teen actress (she’s about to turn 15), yet that probably makes you even more worried about her appearance in the movie. But what can you do? She’s literally everywhere this week – voicing the title character in the animated Coraline and starring in two new video releases, Hounddog and The Secret Life of Bees, both of which were released Tuesday. In the tradition of child actors continuing careers into adolescence, it’s only a matter of time before she ruins a movie that would have been better without her. We’ll have to wait until this weekend to see if that time is now, with Push, but in the meantime let’s take a look at some of the past offenders in this tradition. Most of the following "

"The third part in Universal’s rebooted Mummy franchise takes the series in a new direction. Rather than set in Egypt and dealing again with the same old villain, Imhotep, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor brings us to China and gives us a different sort of preserved corpse baddie. And it looks like the change could actually add some freshness to the franchise. Of course, history would hint that such a move for the Mummy movies is a bad idea. While it seems beneficial in theory to redirect the focus of a series with the third installment, especially if the first sequel was too much a repetition of the original (a la The Mummy Returns), in practice many threequels mistakenly alter things for the worse. These aren’t necessarily the worst threequels ever made (*cough*

"This review contains major spoilers for "X-Men: The Last Stand". In case the trailers and TV ads haven´t made it clear enough, "X-Men: The Last Stand" revolves around a cure for the mutant X gene. In layman´s terms, scientists have found a way to make any mutant a "normal" human being, without their powers of telekinesis, optic blasts, furry blue skin, a metal skeleton or power over the weather. And that "cure" (as it is called in the movie) turns from a voluntary program to a weapon when Magneto (Sir Ian McKellan) challenges it. The major problem with this third movie in the theatrical "X-Men" isn´t in front of the camera. Rather, it´s behind. The director of the first two films, Bryan Singer, was onboard to helm this one also. However, the new "Superman" film came calling while "The Last Stand" was languishing somewhere on the development track. So Singer passed on this film in favor of "Superman Returns". He brought his production crew with him to the n ... "

"There’s been a lot of talk lately about all the mutant cameos appearing in the X-Men spin-off X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but we haven’t heard much about any characters set to show up in the other spin-off, X-Men Origins: Magneto. Until now. According to George “El Guapo” Roush at The Latino Review, the Magneto film will feature either Beast or Nightcrawler. The uncertainty over which lies in the fact that, while on a visit to a creature effects shop, Roush saw a photo (or rendering) of a blue-costumed character who he was told is a young Beast (played by Kelsey Grammar in X-Men: The Last Stand). Yet the character is described by Roush as having a tail, which suggests that the effects person was mistaken and that it’s really a young Nightcrawler (played by Alan Cumming in

"Although there is a change in director for this installment, you not going to be surprised by anything you see in the third and supposedly final X-Men film. My fellow bloggers will remember that I was not a fan of the first film and sort of liked the second, but the flaws of both exist in the third, and that's too bad, because this movie could have been the best of the series if it hadn't been an action movie. It has a premise that makes you think but is in a genre where thinking is not encouraged. If you were black, and a pill could make you white, would you take it? Or if you were gay, and a shot would make you straight, would you make the doctor's appoinment? The plot of this film revolves around The Cure, a (you guessed it) "cure" for mutants, which causes them to become fully human. Naturally, this causes great debate in the muntant community. Some welcome because it will finally enable them to have a normal life, others find the very idea insulting. Magneto (Sir Ian Mc ... "

"Now that we’re sure there’s an Avengers movie on the way, and that it will be tied into the movies Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, Ant-Man and Captain America (full title: The First Avenger: Captain America), it’s time to begin speculating on what other characters will be cast to fill out the team’s roster. In addition to the four characters starring in their own preceding titles, as well as cameo-man Nick Fury, there’s a good chance we’ll see Vision and Black Widow rounding out an even six team members. Yet I speculate on the basis that I haven’t picked up an issue of any Avengers title in at least a decade. Still, I’m excited about the film and have hopes of seeing at least one of my favorite, deserving superheroes end up on the big screen in The Avengers since none of them will likely get their own movie. Plus, a bunch of them allow for more Marvel movie tie-ins. So, I ask that Marvel Studios feature a lucky seven teammates and showcase "

"By Tricia Olszewski The fanboys were quaking in their musty old socks when they heard: Believing the epically ailing Superman Returns needed him more, longtime X-Men director Bryan Singer bailed on the mutant-themed series just in time for what could be its final installment. After Layer Cake’s Matthew Vaughn sniffed around preproduction for a bit, he bolted, too. When X-Men: The Last Stand finally secured a more committed man in charge, he turned out to be Brett Ratner—the very guy Singer took over Superman from. It didn’t help that his Rush Hour movies involved the kind of comic situations that certain audiences take a whole lot less seriously than, say, something from Marvel. Turns out the snarling message-board posts were misdirected: The Last Stand wasn’t ruined by Ratner. It was the damn writers everyone should’ve been worried about. Singer, you see, didn’t walk alone. And though Zak Penn, who earned a story credit on X2—easily the ... "

"Apparently there was no lesson learned from Spider-Man 3. I guess all the criticisms of that movie’s having too many characters didn’t exactly balance negatively enough against its worldwide gross of nearly $900 million. So, prepare for the possibility that other comic book adaptations will make the same attempt for box office gold by saturating their plots with familiar and highly demanded heroes and villains. This week the geek circles have been all abuzz about the all-star casting for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which has now been confirmed by the trades and so far includes Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am as John Wraith/Kestrel, Liev Schrieber as Victor Creed/Sabretooth (I can’t wait to see Schrieber with blond muttonchops), Danny Huston as Col. William Stryker and Lynn Collins as Silver Fox. Also, there’s rumor that the Blob will show up in the film, too. Some of these characters will only be showing up for minor appearances, and it’ ... "

"There are so many wonderful things I would like to say about Juno. That its cast is impeccable, that its soundtrack conveys the perfect emotions, that its details ring both true and hilarious. But most of all, I want to say how good -- no, how GREAT -- watching it made me feel.Ellen Page plays the eponymous sixteen year old heroine with a startingly endearing blend of precociousness, arrogance, cynicism, feigned independence, and aloof self-determination that is so right in so many ways, I cannot help but declare -- after having seen her only in this, Hard Candy, and X-Men: The Last Stand (in my reviews for all of which I've swooned for this girl) -- that Page is going to be among the greatest actresses of her generation. It would have been so easy for a film like this to degrade into silliness or ugliness, and yet somehow, Diablo Cody, Jason Reitman, and Page have colluded to create one of the greatest cinematic outcasts and one of the most unique, interesting, beguilling, ...

"If nothing else, X-Men: The Last Stand provides an important message for the throngs of teens and pre-teens who comprise the majority of its ticket sales. When Iceman and Pyro have their face-off, Pyro tells his rival, "You should have stayed at the academy." His comment provides the needed catalyst to turn Iceman into a giant popsicle and head-butt the flamethrower. "You never should have left," Iceman retorts. "Stay In School" is all over this movie and should convince any on-the-fence grade schoolers to continue their education.The relationship complications between Rogue and Iceman could have been avoided without Rogue being cured of her mutant "disease." In the presence of the mutant cure child, other mutants' powers are temporarily deactivated. Iceman should have befriended the cure child. If he was in a room with Rogue and Iceman, Rogue would lose her ability to steal mutants' powers and she could touch Iceman without fear of her boyfriend's death. If the couple ... "
