List: Once more, from the top! Five comic book reboots

17 July 2008 2:36 PM, PDT | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news

By Matt Singer

When the "Batman" movie franchise had grown too swollen with campy performances and benippled costumes to survive, Warner Brothers went back to the drawing board. But they didn't just bring on a new director or actor to play Batman; they restarted the entire franchise. And if 2005's "Batman Begins," directed by Christopher Nolan, could have been written off as an elaborately reimagined prequel - since Tim Burton's 1989 "Batman" did not fully explain how Bruce Wayne became Batman or feature "Begins" villains the Scarecrow or Ra's Al Ghul - there could be no lingering doubt with Nolan's new Bat-follow-up, "The Dark Knight," where we get a totally new take on The Joker, courtesy of the late Heath Ledger.

Starting over a movie franchise based on a comic book from scratch is a fitting move; comic books have been doing the same thing for years. When these lumbering

'Smallville' Brings On Another Hero Full Time

14 June 2008 7:31 AM, PDT | From syfyportal.com | See recent syfyportal news

The following contains Minor Spoilers for Season 8 of The CW show "Smallville." In the wake of the cast exodus from "Smallville," fans of the series have something to be thankful for ... the full-time addition of DC Comics hero the Green Arrow. The emerald clad archer -- played by Justin Hartley -- will be appearing on a permanent basis in the eighth season of the superhero series in an attempt to bring a familiar face to the series, especially due to the many changes the show will go through next year. However, unlike the previous Green Arrow story lines, the new episodes of "Smallville" will focus more on Ollie's mysterious billionaire past instead of his twilight identity as a fully-formed superhero. At the end of the seventh season, both Michael Rosenbaum and Kristen Kreuk (Lex Luthor ...

America's Next Top Model: Season 3 Contenders Move to Daytime Television

5 June 2008 4:20 AM, PDT | From buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news

It’s amazing how reality shows can launch one’s career several ways possible.  Getting your name into national television airwaves can help you gain more exposure and land more projects.  Same goes for America’s Next Top Model season 3 contender Yaya DeCosta, who was reportedly pursuing an acting gig earlier this year.  In April, Soaps.com reported that Yaya took the role of Angie Hubbard’s adopted daughter, Cassandra, in the daytime soap opera All My Children.  Before her soap opera acting gig, thought, Yaya has worked on television shows such as Eve, Racing for Time and Take the Lead. She also worked on the big screen project, The Shanghai Hotel, which will be released later this year.

Now, another America’s Next Top Model contender has stepped into the scripted world with another daytime soap opera.

Eva Marcille, who was previously known as Eva Pigford, has been on

Rosenbaum To Leave Smallville

2 May 2008 9:15 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Actor Michael Rosenbaum is set to leave the cast of Smallville at the end of the U.S. TV series' current season.

Rosenbaum, who plays Superman's arch enemy Lex Luthor, has been with the show since it began in 2001 - but has decided to pursue other projects.

In a joint statement, the show's executive producers Darren Swimmer, Todd Slavkin, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson said, "It has been an honour and pleasure to work with Michael for the past six seasons.

"He is one of the best actors on television and has never failed to bring a new layer to the character of Lex Luthor in every episode.

"While Michael won't be a series regular and we won't have the pleasure of working with him on a weekly basis this fall, we like to think that we haven't seen the last of Lex Luthor. Stay tuned."

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old has penned a handwritten note to thank the show's cast, crew and fans.

Smallville: Episode 7.14 "Traveler" Recap

20 March 2008 10:58 AM, PDT | From buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news

smallville/smallville-s7e14.jpg" alt="Tom Welling, Smallville" />Previous on smallville.aspx">Smallville: Clark discovered that Lionel was lying to him, and somehow Clark was shocked by this. Amnesiac Kara decided to move in with Lex.

On tonight's episode of Smallville, the FBi chases down two college students suspected of blowing up a museum while their friend Will mysteriously disappears. Wait, that's a different “Traveler.” Too bad, I was really hoping to see Logan Marshall-Green (Ryan Atwood's brother and Secretary of Defense James Heller's gay son).

Lionel Luthor (smallville/profile/john-glover.aspx">John Glover) is enjoying some opera in his office, and he receives a mysterious letter. He is none too pleased with its contents. Meanwhile, in the Kent barn, Clark (smallville/profile/tom-welling.aspx">Tom Welling) is checking out a diary when he gets Krypto-Tazered (tazer guns that shoot barbed prongs coated with glowing green Kryptonite) by an entire Swat team.

Smallville: Episode 7.13 "Hero" Recap

Jimmy (smallville/profile/aaron_ashmore.aspx">Aaron Ashmore) and Kara (smallville/profile/laura_vandervoort.aspx">Laura Vandervoort) attend a One Republic concert. I must be old, because I have no idea who they are. I imagine they're the new hip “indie” band. When I was in high school, this would've been Jimmy Eat World. God, I'm old.

Pete Ross is in da house! He asks the Dj for some gum, and Mr. Dj responds that they're in a gum factory. I assumed this was some new, hip comeback, but no, the concert is actually being held in a Stride Gum factory. Pete, a roadie for the band,
