Rather than embracing the differences between these two different superhero universes, fans tend to start internet flame wars with each other, often resorting often hostile, violent language. It’s not fun, and it’s not at all in the spirit of the stories both of these cinematic universes are trying to tell....

M. Night Shyamalan Worked Story Written For ‘Unbreakable 2’ Into One Of The ‘Night Chronicles’ Public perception of theM. Night Shyamalan-producedDevilhas been pretty low so far. If you’ve been at a theater that ran the trailer this summer, there’s a good chance you heard laughter (or joined in) when the film’s trailer culminates with Shyamalan’s name. That leaves me wondering how the series of which it is loosely a part,The Night Chronicles, might fare....

One Of The Most Marketable Films Of Sundance 2009 Remains Unsold As the 2009 Sundance Film Festival comes to a close, I was shocked to learn that Derrick Comedy’sMystery Teamhas still not been bought by a big Hollywood distributor. This is shocking for a number of reasons, first of which is that Mystery Team is probably the most marketable unsold film in the entire festival. Some might argue that I Love You Philip Morris might take the top slot, but big actors like Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor might not be enough to sell a romantic comedy about two gay men to Middle America....
