Who are the 10 Marvel Heroes that Deserve Their Own Movie? Movies.com has an idea, and have even written about it. One of my faves is the Submariner:
Submariner is like Aquaman, only without the whole talking to fish thing. And with ties to everyone from The X-Men (he gets an honorary title as "Marvel's first mutant") and the Fantastic Four (he harbors a decades-long crush on Sue Storm), Namor is an integral part of the Marvel Universe. So why isn't Marvel working him into their upcoming movie slate? Even before Blade and X-Men kicked off the Marvel blockbuster era, a Submariner movie was developed by, of all people, Philip Kaufman. The director of racy fare like Henry and June and Quills told the San Francisco Examiner back in 2000, "I'd love to make Submariner into a movie. The idea that we p!&s in the ocean and we s!%t in it and there's a little guy with wings on his feet who's going to come up and stomp a$$." A Submariner flick from the director of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Unbearable Lightness of Being? Sign us up.
Captain America: Super Solider, the video game based on the new movies, is currently in stores. That's the trailer above and you can read the full press release over on Coming Soon.Hey Man, Slow Down has an early review of Batman Live. How is it? Well, much like Mikey, he liked it. Here's a sample:
This is just a really good Batman story, recounting the genesis of the Caped Crusader and his trusty sidekick the Boy Wonder as they battle evil and seek justice in the face of a variety of megalomaniac freaks. Well worn sure, but also well told and incredibly entertaining.
