Max's Academy Awards Predictions

           The 82nd Academy Awards are this Sunday, hosted by Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, who I view as a step down from last year’s host Hugh Jackman. Hugh did a great job last year, which was the best Oscars show I’ve seen in years. This year the Best picture nominees have been expanded to include ten nominees instead of the standard five, and I believe this is a bad idea. It’s too easy to pick out the five that don’t ...

November 28th, 2009 Recommendations

Ok, let’s do a movie round up! Surrogates – bland sci-fi, skip it. Observe and Report – great dark comedy, if you like to wince while you laugh. Capitalism: A Love Story – not one of Michael Moore’s best efforts. Watch Sicko instead. Whip It – super cute! Who knew Drew Barrymore could direct? Away We Go – if you’re expecting a baby, maybe you’ll get more out of this film than I did. It’s so-so, but takes itself a little too ...

Spider-Man lives in the House of Mouse
Posted 11/29/2009 9:45:00 PM

Recently I received an e-mail asking what I thought about the Disney / Marvel merger, specifically, would this be good or bad for comic book movies?
 
In a move that surprised the entertainment industry recently, the Disney Corporation bought Marvel Entertainment for somewhere around four billion dollars.

The 4 bills grant the House of Mouse the rights to more than 5,000 Marvel Comics characters, including Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, and the X-Men.

Marvel mastermind (and my hero) Stan Lee is thrilled with the sale, and I think I know why.
 
This ensures his creations will be around for a long, long time. Look at how Mickey and Minnie and Goofy and Pluto have thrived in pop culture since Walt Disney passed.
