New teaser image for “Dexter”

Posted by Daniel Nasserian On June - 30 - 2009

For those that don’t remember last season, Dexter was going to be a daddy! This promo image from Showtime is a little teaser as to what we might expect from season 4…and no, I don’t think killer babies is likely.

Posted by Eugene Wong On June - 30 - 2009

Warner Home Video has released the blu-ray and DVD artwork for the upcoming animated feature “Superman/Batman: Public Enemies”.  We have posted the artwork for the 1-disc DVD, 2-disc DVD, and blu-ray below.

  • Release Date: September 29th, 2009
  • SRP: 1-Disc DVD – $19.98; 2-Disc DVD – $24.98; 1-Disc blu-ray – $29.99

Here’s the synopsis:

A desperate solution for a troubled country: Lex Luthor for President with the Justice League in the service of the government. Only Batman and Superman stand against the new regime – and their disloyalty proves to be exactly what Luthor intended. Using their outcast status to instigate a scandal against Superman, Luthor finally tastes a victory in his vendetta against The Man of Steel. From Executive Producer Bruce Timm and voiced by the cast from both hit Batman and Superman animated TV series including Kevin Conroy, Tim Daly and Clancy Brown, this DC Universe Original Animated Movie of Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness’s popular graphic novel seethes with political intrigue and action-packed battles between heroes all believing they’re on the right side of the law.

Stan Lee straps on the suspenders for “Iron Man 2″ cameo

Posted by Eugene Wong On June - 29 - 2009

ironmanstanleeDid the mentioning of suspenders already give away who Iron Man creator Stan Lee will be playing this time around?  If you haven’t guessed it by now, Lee will be playing Larry King for his cameo in “Iron Man 2″!  As you might remember from the first film, he was mistaken by Tony Stark as  Hugh Hefner, clad in the long, burgundy robe.

Lee was seen shooting his cameo earlier this week in the Larry King getup complete with suspenders, in a scene where he asks Tony Stark when he’s going to appear on his show.

“Iron Man 2″ hits theaters May 7, 2010.

Amazon.com has released a set of preview videos of what to expect from the “Watchmen” blu-ray’s Maximum Movie Mode and we have to say this is one of the coolest features we’ve seen on a blu-ray release yet.  As you’ll see in the video, director Zack Snyder walks on screen and offers an in-depth look at the film, walking us through with behind-the-scenes footage, comic-to-film comparisons, history timelines, trivia, easter eggs, storyboards, and more.  You’ll find the videos on Amazon’s page here.

“Watchmen: The Director’s Cut” hits blu-ray on July 21st, 2009 and can be ordered on Amazon for a discounted price of $22.99.

Dates and times TBD.

Heroes, which has had a significant showing at the convention in the past, will not have a panel this year, apparently due to filming conflicts.  Instead, it is expected to make some “presence”, as creator Tim Kring has announced plans to be there along with some of the cast, writers, and producers.

It is not known whether Bones will have a panel or not, considering how much of an upset the season finale was (No, we don’t watch Bones).  24, however, is most definitely expected to make an appearance with the addition of former Battlestar Galactica actress Katee Sackhoff.

Stay tuned for more updates.
