But for everyIron Man,Captain America, orThanos,there are those characters who appeared briefly, served a purpose, and then vanished without leaving much of a mark. Some werepoised to be more important, while others were designed to be more than just one-off characters. Nevertheless, all of them share the unfortunate distinction of being largely forgotten, despite their presence in some of the biggest movies of all time....

Here’s the thing:Aaron Sorkinis one of the greatest writers who’s ever lived. That’s not hyperbole. From TV to film to the stage, Sorkin has crafted some of the most eloquent, most charged, and most memorable lines spoken by a cadre of Hollywood’s greatest performers. He’s also prolific, but not to the point of anonymity. You know a Sorkin-written movie when you see one, and out of nine produced feature films he’s written, only one of them is less than “good....

This game looks so weird because it’s clearly inspired by the movies, and yet the characters look and sound different, so it feels like an off-brand product....

Given thatZack Snyderis the same filmmaker that made300, it should come as little surprise that much of what we saw in this year’s superhero smackdownBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicewas created in a computer. Indeed, a new visual effects breakdown reel has surfaced online that shows off some of the extensive effects work, and how Snyder blended practical elements with CG effects to result in the finished product. It’s interesting to see scenes likeJesse Eisenbergstanding on a rooftop towards the end of the film, and realize that that was just Eisenberg standing in front of a big green screen with a heavy fan blowing on him....

The four-episode arc known as “The Siege of Mandalore” serves as both a series finale forThe Clone Wars, and a companion piece toRevenge of the Sith. Indeed, this collection of episodes is as cinematic as anything in theStar Warscanon and feels more like a movie than the actual movie/extended pilot that kicked offThe Clone Warsdid. After the sort of fanfare typically reserved forStar Warsmovies, the first episode, “Old Friends Not Forgotten”, kicks off mid-battle, with Obi Wan (James Arnold Taylor) on the back foot and Anakin (Matt Lanter) arriving to save the day....
