Logan Lerman is now being considered the front runner for the new “Spider-Man” movie. I didn’t even think of him. But there’s one problem with choosing him. If he does more “Percy Jackson” movies, how is he going to have enough time to do one or possibly more new “Spider-Man” films? But since “The Lightning […]

I hate to say “I told you so”, but I predicted that this would be a problem months ago – too many 3D films, and not enough 3D theaters. “Alice in Wonderland” is still going strong, “How to Train Your Dragons” is coming-out Friday and then “Clash of the Titans” will be released a week […]
