Wright propels the story with a style that is equal parts crime thriller, action movie, and horror. The loose handheld camerawork and precise editing is theatrical enough to match the Bard’s poetry...

The Punisher, aka Frank Castle, has been my favorite comic book character since childhood, so naturally I was excited this week when news broke of a third silver screen adaptation of Marvel Comic’s vigilante anti-hero.

It appears that filmmaker Guy Ritchie has come full circle with his Virgin Comics series Gamekeeper. News broke yesterday that Ritchie is planning to direct a feature-film adaptation of the graphic mini-series, with Joel Silver on board as producer.

In Werner Herzog’s feature narrative adaptation of his documentary film, Little Dieter Needs to Fly, Rescue Dawn, Christian Bale stars as Dieter Dengler, a German born U.S. fighter pilot who is shot down while bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail during the early stages of the Vietnam War. He survives a crash landing in the jungle, but is soon captured by enemy forces, and transported to a prisoner of war camp in Laos.

Many people associate Steve Zahn with comedy because of his roles in films like Saving Silverman and Daddy Day Care, a perception that doesn’t bother Zahn, but a perception which he doesn’t quite understand. His resume includes a lot of comedy, which he excels at (he’s also very funny in person), but also plenty of serious dramatic roles, like his characters in Speak and Out of Sight.
