X-Men - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This was illustrated in a scene of the second X-Men film, directed by openly gay director Bryan Singer in which Bobby Drake "came out" as a mutant to his parents. In the first, the X-Men encountered the U.S.S. Enterprise crew captained by James T. Kirk, as featured in the original Star Trek series. In 1992, the Fox Network launched an unrelated X-Men animated series with the roster of Beast, Cyclops, Gambit, Jean Grey, Jubilee, Professor X, Rogue, Storm and Wolverine with Bishop and Cable frequently guest starring. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/X-Men   (4041 words)

Filmtracks: X2: X-Men United (John Ottman) For the X-Men franchise, unlike other well known film series, he had little to expand upon from Kamen's original. For the sequel, Fox decided to set a record by globally releasing the film on the same date in 93 nations, saturating the market with nearly 9,000 prints of the film. Finally, a distinguished title theme is introduced into the series, and the liberal choral addition roots the score and film into their proper genre. www.filmtracks.com /titles/x2.html   (2056 words)

Barnes & Noble.com - Men in Black -- Barry Sonnenfeld - DVD - Widescreen / Superbit As imaginative and absurd as the comic-book series that inspired it, Men in Black is an entertaining send-up of self-important sci-fi flicks -- a blockbuster action film that delivers all the expected thrills while managing to revel in its own silliness. Men in Black was a box office smash, inspiring an animated children's television series and a hit soundtrack album that featured a performance by star (and rapper) Smith. Nicknamed the "men in black" for their nondescript uniform of black suit, shoes, tie, and sunglasses, the agents are assigned to recover a bauble that's been stolen by an intergalactic terrorist (Vincent D'Onofrio). video.barnesandnoble.com /search/product.asp?ean=43396091542&userid=2V1D8g2Axc&frm=0&itm=3   (537 words)

Posted by: mainstream at October 3, 2005 09:33 AM alrite guys here's the deal, marvel screwed up the whole series having wolverine meet up with rouge in the first place, i mean come on they should have introduced gambit in the first one to set the bar. But the only way he would work in the film is with a proper introduction and a lot of screen time, but Wolverine has that part already covered and its too late in the game for a proper introduction. www.themovieblog.com /archives/2005/09/no_gambit_for_xmen_3.html   (2848 words)

X-Men movie series reviews Stryker blames Professor X for his inability to heal his son, and transfers his hate to the cause of eradication of all mutants on earth. To do this, he captures Professor X and uses his son to compel X to use the Cerebrus machine to destroy all mutants. Among the villains, we have the aforementioned Ian McKellen as the archvillain Magneto, Tyler Mane as Victor Creed aka Sabretooth, Ray Park, casting off his Darth Maul costume and acquiring a long tongue, as Mortimer Toynbee aka Toad, and the beautiful Rebecca Romijn-Stamos as Raven Darkholme aka Mystique. www.ram.org /ramblings/movies/xmen.html   (733 words)

Review: Men In Black Men in Black is an outright comedy (in fact, some of its satire is directed at movies like last year's box office champ), not a pastiche of worn sci-fi/adventure elements, and there's no big space battle to be found. Men in Black's deliciously unconventional spirit lends a refreshing twist to a premise that has fueled numerous conspiracy theory movies and one currently-popular television series. Men in Black, the new science fiction comedy from cinematographer-turned-director Barry Sonnenfeld (Get Shorty), postulates that such stories are not the result of fertile imaginations, but accurate representations of the truth. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/m/mib.html   (682 words)

the End of the X-Men film franchise.... Raymitox -> RE: the End of the X-Men film franchise.... Nah, it was the fact that Rogue was an average looking little girl rather than the fox she was in the cartoon series [:D] And Wolverine didn't say Bub enough! If they pick someone else that will be the straw on the Camel's back for me on this movie, cause not only did Alan nail that role, he CREATED that character you see on the screen. www.mikeportnoy.com /forum/printable.aspx?m=893338   (1363 words)

X2 -- X-Men United (Faith & Film) If there is an X-Men 3 film, expect to see some sort of resuscitation for Dr. Grey, recalling the Phoenix transformation she underwent in the original comic book series. He orchestrates the attempted assassination of the President with which the film opens, using an enslaved Nightcrawler, intending to start a holocaust of mutants on the pretext of the attempt. Coming immediately after Wolverine abandons Stryker to his death, Jean's willingness to risk and lose her life for her friends has a kenotic aspect that goes beyond loyalty to "mutant-kind," even if it is a bit of an actus speravit. www.domlife.org /moviereviews/body_xmenunited.html   (827 words)

Men in Black (M.I.B.) Men in black are believed to be very strange creatures, perhaps aliens or government agents, who visit UFO witnesses and warn them not to tell anyone about their UFO experiences. Their mystique may soon wear off, however, as a film, a TV series, a magazine and a video game have been developed around their strange antics. Rojecewicz, Peter M.

Film Review: 'Men In Black II': Getting Freaky With It "Men In Black II" has jokes, action, and lots of funky aliens—including a seven-ton worm, a two-headed man and a snake lady—that give new meaning to the phrase "get your freak on" But the film does not have an ounce of tension. Without tension, we're left with a series of visually interesting scenes that, depending on your investment in them, will either amuse you mildly or a great deal. At the same time that it seems designed for the 13-year-old male, it also holds some amusement for adults who enjoy a film with no pretension that it is about more than entertainment. www.seeingblack.com /x071202/mib.shtml   (554 words)

Comic Book Resources - CBR News - The Comic Reel This is somewhat puzzling, as Shazam is also in development as a feature film with New Line Cinema. Our source also tells us an animated take on "Shazam" is in development as "a doofy comedy." "Eek the Cat" creator Bill Kopp is said to be behind this one. Of course, "Teen Titans" is also in development as a live-action movie, but will be an animated show on Cartoon Network this year. www.comicbookresources.com /news/newsitem.cgi?id=2053   (805 words)

slant // magazine.com: 2005: Year in Film The colorful veneer of the film's sexual abuse scenes is wistfully subversive—a representation of the way two young men look at the past through the eyes of children who never quite learned how to grow up. But in Herzog's 40-year-plus career, he's never filmed or documented a mission that doesn't reconfigure itself once it has been set into motion, and Dorrington's operation is no exception: Under Herzog's ephemeral and watchful lens, what begins as a run-of-the-mill science experiment unspools as a heartbreaking spiritual journey. The film is both a bawdy comedy of the sexes and a snappy critique of our consumer culture. www.slantmagazine.com /film/features/2005yearinfilm.asp   (2135 words)

TheJack Online :: This article is the second in a series exploring budget cuts, layoffs and alleged mistreatment and financial inequality within the HSU athletics department. The Lumberjack reported last semester that HSU men’s and women’s track and field, men’s and women’s cross-country, men’s soccer and women’s rowing were the hardest hit by a round of athletic budget cuts. Burks, a three-year HSU track and cross-country athlete, said he has been dissatisfied with the running program since Dave Wells, former HSU track and cross-country coach of 24 years, was not re-hired this summer. www2.humboldt.edu /~merge/modules.php?op=modload&name=PagEd&file=index&page_id=442   (1190 words)

paper32.doc For example, the film of the 70s series (The Streets of San Francisco, Barretta, etc.) was much grainier and darker, whereas Miami Vice’s film produced clear and brighter images. The development of the Miami Vice series was a breakthrough in the production of police dramas with the radical changes in wardrobe and setting, character development, music and film processing. Miami Vice certainly was one of the better TV series of the 80s and added greatly to the popular culture and is now considered an authentic “classic”. www.indiana.edu /~t311/hallett/sp01/paper32.doc   (1264 words)
