Movie Trivia: Marvel’s Next Move - Thor, Avengers, Captain America
Marvel Comics has already dug deep into their second-tier barrel for this summer’s hit Iron Man. While longtime fans of the comic are thrilled, most people had no idea who this “Iron Man” is, unless he’s the fellow from that song by Black Sabbath. If they hope to continue their franchise, where will Marvel go next?
The Fantastic Four has already proven to be a colossal failure. X-Men has completed its trilogy, although spinoffs are planned. Spider-Man pretty much fell flat with 3, and The Hulk is just now being revived. With this history in mind, how much more bottom-of-the-barrel scraping will Marvel do just to make a quick buck?

It may not be the best of signs that all Hollywood really has to work with at this point is rehashings of crap that’s already been done.
Oh, this is just the news we needed to hear—apparently, Eli Roth has had enough of failing at making adult-focused horror films (even Cabin Fever got hijacked from him, that’s how bad it got), so now, he’s got a promise for us.

For the longest time, we’ve all been somewhat in the dark as to what Sam Raimi’s Drag Me To Hell, his first original horror film since Army of Darkness, was going to be about. Oh, sure, we were all looking forward to it regardless of what it was going to be about because we’ve got a whole lot of faith in the man not to botch things beyond all recognition. That and most of us are STILL quoting from Army of Darkness—aren’t we, Mister Fancy Pants?
Some moviegoers dismay me somewhat–it’s as though they don’t know what they want in a movie and thus go to a movie that clearly doesn’t offer what they want just so they can badmouth it later. Such is the case with Iron Man, a movie that’s been unsettlingly well received by most of the critical community and, not surprisingly, by me too.
