Don't Blame Megan Fox

By
Whatever others may think, it's not her fault. Jonah Hex played to the wrong crowd. Instead of being the new Wild Wild West, it should have tried to be more like Tombstone. From my admitted limitted knowledge of the character, what appealed to me was his "I gotta job to do and I'm going to do it, whether my boss is an angel or The Devil" attitude. He's a western character in a comic book world, but that doesn't phase him; he doesn't suddenly go out to buy a crazy spandex costume or try to get superpowers...he just presses on, world be damned.

But when all your movie pushes is a hot Megan Fox, some quasi-steampunk science, and a vague hint of the character you're trying to highlight, don't be shocked when the flick turns out to be the next Glitter.

That's too bad, I thought the preview looked entertaining. Not great, but entertaining.

We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
