Movie Review: The Green Hornet

Honestly, I wasn't expecting the film adaptation of "The Green Hornet" to be any good. In fact, with such a history of diversity and experimentation the franchise has had over several mediums over the years, it's hard to keep track of what truly was the definite "background story" to follow based on the character's initial origins. As a kid, I grew up watching the 60's TV series starring Van Williams as The Green Hornet. It aired parallel to the Adam West and Burt Ward starring Batman Live Action series, and the show also featured a then unknown Bruce Lee displaying his martial arts prowess as the Hornet's sidekick, Kato. In Hong Kong, The Green Hornet was better known as "The Kato Show", and Lee's actions in the series added justification to why the show's name was changed in that territory, foreshadowing his inevitable rise to fame as an action movie star. After one season, the show faded into limbo, and what was once a straight superhero franchise slowly took off from the radar...

Thor Update: A New Poster Cometh!

Movie news site Screen Rant has posted a new one sheet poster of Marvel Studios' "Thor", once again featuring Chris Hemsworth as the God Of Thunder, standing with his mighty hammer Mjolnir and looking ready to face whatever threat lies before him. This is only the second poster released to promote the movie, and it's nothing relatively new, save for the enlarged movie logo in the middle and Hemsworth's Thor shifting from a back stance to a front one. I'd like to see a poster featuring all the Asgardians, Jane Foster, S.H.I.E.L.D, and The Destroyer; Like something similar to Jon Favreau's Iron Man movie one sheets. Still, for more info on this as well as other one sheet posters of other upcoming 2011 films "The Green Hornet" and "Sucker Punch", you can visit the source post over at Screen Rant!

Thor opens in all theaters in Midgard for conventional and 3D viewing this May 6!
