Building on its strategy of delivering quality branded content to people around the world, The Walt Disney Company has agreed to acquire Marvel Entertainment, Inc. in a stock and cash transaction, the companies announced today.

I’m going to come right out and say that I really enjoyed the first Wanted movie. The trippy visuals, a script that hit all the notes I was looking for, and a cast that fit together brilliantly made it one of those summer movies you know you’re going to buy once it comes out on [...]
It’s not very often that we at The Cinema Source get the chance to listen to a director let loose in front of a crowd of fans and former collegues outside of a festival or other scheduled event, but that’s exactly what happened at Wesleyan University last night. The lecture was entitled “Defining American Culture: [...]
Well, it’s official. The summer movie season is in full swing. With the release of the not-very-good X-Men Origins: Wolverine (I so wanted to like it, I probably would’ve enjoyed it if Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds were just wandering around killing things and blowing stuff up as long as it had… um… a STORY… [...]

The festival has always been a hotbed of news and early opinions on the hours of [...]
Brett Ratner had signed onto direct a Superman movie back in the early 2000s, before Bryan Singer came along. At the time, he was going after Josh Hartnett for the title role, but after Hartnett turned him down, Ratner left the project, Singer came along, and Ratner took on the newly Singer-less X-Men franchise. It’s [...]
Despite the tone of my last Watchmen article, I’m not rooting for it to fail. Seriously. Its success would do a lot for future critically-acclaimed but less-mainstream comic book adaptations, not to mention serve as vindication to the hundreds of people who worked very hard on the movie for months. And I’m a fan of [...]
