BEWARE OF SPOILERS! ‘Zero Year’ returns this month with its closest issue to Frank Millers ‘Year One’ yet. Lets start by addressing the comparisons: both tales ‘Zero’ and ‘One’ were clearly always going to have story beats which would need to cross-over. Snyder is doing an amazing job of scripting a story that doesn’t just follow the same story that Miller made famous but there are unavoidable moments in that history which have to be touched…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymMNEPfcO5M TRAILER REVIEW: ‘Robocop’ 2014 Due for a USA release date of February 4th 2014 this ‘Robocop’ reboot sets out to stand on its own merits against the nostalgic and cult success that was the original franchise. From the outset the trailer sets out to show the level of special effects that will be on show in the final movie. The opening shots of the flying drone and the destruction being rained down on the city setup the dystopian nature of the future without relying on a voice over to set the scene. There’s a similar ambience to the recent…

Directed by Len Wiseman Story by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, Phillip Iscove & Len Wiseman Teleplay by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Phillip Iscove Catch ‘Sleepy Hollow’ on Fox, Mondays @ 2100 ET BEWARE OF SPOILERS! ‘Sleepy Hollow’ is my first pilot viewing for the 2013-2014 TV season and I have to say it’s been a good way to get the ball rolling. This is by far one of the more high concept pilots that we’re seeing surface on the major networks this season but in the wake of successes like ‘Fringe’ and ‘Arrow’ on mainstream channels and the unwavering success of ‘The Walking…
