Movie Moan: Dead and Loving It!
Sun, March 6, 2011 
Two of the four Movie Moan gang (Queen Kristina and Jamie) sat through all three hours of last week's oscars, while Phil and Ed decidedly they had better things to do such as sleeping or doing their taxes. Judging by the final product, we all know who came out the winner there.
Besides commenting on the telecast, Phil gives his reviews for The Adjustment Bureau and All Star Superman and her Majesty chastises I Am Number Four, a movie so good it caused some in her party to fall asleep during its IMAX (!) screening. Yeah, it was that good.
As always there are bundles of movie-news to discuss. Diane Lane is the new Ma Kent for Superman: The Man of Steel, making her the hottest MILF in a comic-book tentpole since Rosemary Harris in the Spider-Man films. The rights to Blade Runner are brought up with the possibility of prequels and/or sequels to Ridley Scott's classic, as bone-headed a decision (financially and creatively) as that sounds. MGM is one step closer to that Robocop reboot with the hiring of Brazilian filmmaker Jose Padilha.
All that plus Men in Black 3 gets another writer in David Koepp (a personal favorite of Phil's!), Tim Burton possibly doing The Hunchback of Notre Dame, continued epic-blandness behind Thor's marketing and everyone's thoughts on a zombified Stephen Hawking.
