Silver Age of Superhero Movies 2000 - 2007
With Bryan Singer's X-Men and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, two of Marvel's biggest hitters showed just how the modern superhero should be viewed. This prompted a wave of imitators and eventually the end of the classic franchise with X-Men: The Last Stand and Spider-Man 3. Quietly, on the sidelines, Christopher Nolan kicks off a street-level guerrilla war with Batman Begins that will solidify the end of the Silver Age of Superhero Movies from 2000 to 2007.

Dark Age of Superhero Movies 1989 - 2000
Tim Burton drags the comic-book onto the screen in all its wild and wonderful glory, but studios lack confidence. Successes like The Crow, Darkman, The Rocketeer, and Blade are exceptions in an era defined by the Batman-esque pulps of Dick Tracy, The Shadow, and The Phantom, and the MTV-schlock like Spawn and Steel.

'Beauty and the Beast' A Delight, But What About Those Stereotypes?
There is no question about the quality of Beauty and the Beast, regardless of whether you watch the animated or the live action version of the film. The films are both visually stunning, and the music is gorgeous. Emma Watson as Belle also has a surprisingly good singing voice, and Dan Stevens makes the most of acting through a heavy layer of makeup. In all, the new film is in many ways on par with the 1991 animated one.

Ready To Enter 'The Matrix' Again?
Are you ready to re-enter The Matrix? The Wachowski's hit film series is set to be rebooted, according to reports, and Zak Penn, the writer behind X2 and Pacific Rim, is said to be in talks to pen it. Warner Bros is apparently considering a structure similar to what's been seen with the Star Wars series lately, so there are a wealth of possibilities as to what could occur.

Movie Review - Logan
Movie Review - Logan "Logan, you still have time." Regardless of size (too tall) or not being ridiculously costumed in yellow spandex, I knew at a very specific moment that Hugh Jackman was and is, our Wolverine. It came during my first ever viewing of 2000's X-Men at the theaters. And it wasn't during some barbaric slice'em and dice'em battle scene. It came from a quiet moment when Logan meets the young stowaway Rogue (Anna Paquin, True Blood), and she asks him, "Does it hurt?" while the camera pans up from his knuckles to his face. He quietly replies, "Every time." That subtle little moment told me that one of my favorite Marvel characters, was in good hands. Hugh brought not only ferocity to the role, but he also gave heart to a character with such a rough demeanor. And not once has Jackman ever let us down, even when the ship was collapsing all around him (X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine). If this last film truly is just that, then whoever they try to replace him with, has some mighty big claws to fill.
