I cannot believe I hadn’t heard of this before.  The Mutant Chronicles follows Major Mitch Hunter (Thomas Jane) and Brother Samuel (Ron Pearlman) as they fight against a deadly hoard of necromutants.  Sounds like a non-stop splatterfest to me.  I will see anything [...]

New York’s Licensing Expo. Don’t worry, I’ve never heard of it either. Apparently we all should be paying a little more attention to them because Marvel has unveiled some cool looking logos for Iron Man II, Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers. Thank you Licensing Expo, whatever you are!
