For some time now, the legacy of the Man of Steel on movie screens has been sorely lacking. First, the second Superman film is mired in producioral high jinks, resulting in a displaced director and a replacement who clearly does not want to make the same movie as the guy he’s replacing. The third …
In an on-line chat with the readers of Boston.com, Dan Akroyd, (in town to promote the opening of a new “House of Blues,”) said “Ghostbusters 3” is coming. Soon.

It’s that time again, yes, Oscar® season. It’s Hollywood’s chance to congratulate each other on another great year, and celebrate the industry’s history. So here are my predictions for this Sunday in some of the major categories:
Marvel Productions wants Mickey Rourke for the role of the villain in “Iron Man 2.” However, times being what they are, they don’t want to pay Rourke’s asking price. Now, reports are circulating that Marvel is waiting until Sunday night to make Rourke an offer. Why Sunday night? Because it’s the Oscars. If Rourke picks …

The film is based on a BBC miniseries, and tells the story of a homicide detective whose only child is murdered in front of his home.
