So you only recently paid attention to the buzz surrounding the HBO hit-series Game Of Thrones, and it sounds like something you’d totally watch, but you’re a season behind the current action. Also, you’re intimidated by all the media coverage of the series that describes the series as dense, complex, rich with dozens of characters, and filled with countless settings. Don’t be intimidated! The series is much more approachable than critics would have you think, and it’s definitely worth your time to watch.

Now a days in Hollywood book to movie adaptions are almost as dangerous as video game adaptions. Most of them are negatively recieved from frustrated fans because of changes and elemantions of certain aspects of the book, and I have to admit to being one of them. Well in recent months I've become a huge fan of The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, and the film adaption has made it's way to one of my most anticipated films. And now it's arrived, and while it's no Harry Potter, it's also no Twilight, and it's probably one of the most faithful book adaptions we've seen yet.

With Hollywood remaking so many movies now, almost none of the classics are safe, and 1987's RoboCop is no exception. The reboot has had many rumored faces attached to it's leading role, including Chris Pine (Star Trek), Russell Crowe (Gladiator), and Michael Fassbender (X-Men First Class). Now, Scottish actor Joel Kinnaman's name can be added to the long list of contenders for our future Robocop.

There was a time just a few months ago where it seemed that Gore Verbenski's The Longer Ranger film (Which has been in development hell since way back in 2002) was going to suffer another set back and be delayed, due to an over expensive budget of $250 million dollars. But now it seems that the film is back on track (With a much more resonable budget I assume), and it's next big move has been replacing country singer Dwight Yoakam for William Fichtner as the title villain.

Recently between the release of Tarsem Singh's Immortals, and the upcoming sequel Wrath of the Titans, movie about humans in Greek mythology seems to be more popular than movies about the gods themselves. And now comes another one from X-Men: The Last Stand director Brett Ratner, based on the graphic novel Hercules: The Tharcian Wars, and The Rock himself is being eyed for the starring role.

Darren Aronofsky didn't turn down the X-Men Origins: Wolverine sequel The Wolverine for nothing, and that something was the biblical epic Noah, based on a comic book Aronofsky wrote himself. After Christian Bale was recently rumored for the part, it's now official that he has passed on the offer and Aronofsky is now eyeing Michael Fassbender to take his place.

Director Zack Snyder has always been known for his over the top slow motion action scenes, as can be seen in his previous films Sucker Punch, Watchmen, and 300. Now it seems he's bringing this specialty to The Man of Steel, with the latest set pics of a helicopter rescue scene. We've also got some major spoilers of the film, giving away the films' climax and some of the characters real perspectives on things.

With the recent publicity on Steve Jobs, it was only a matter of time before Apple head Steve Jobs got his own movie, and now it's finally going into action after his passing just two weeks ago. And sure enough, none other than Moneyball and The Social Network scribe Aaron Sorkin is being eyed to write a the film adaption of the Walter Isaacson's best selling biography 'Steve Jobs'.

After being in on and off development hell, the American live action remake of the famous eighties Japanese manga 'Akira' is finally in the works, and names such as Garrett Hedlund, Gary Oldman, and Helena Bonham Carter are already being rumored to star. But the real question is whether or not this is final, and whether Warner Bros. will take the fans into consideration and at least give some Asian actors a look?

Well it seems Real Steel director Shawn Levy's plate has just gotten fuller, because now he can add the Pinocchio prequel 'The Three Misfortunes of Geppetto' to his list which includes a possible sequel to Real Steel, a remake of The Fantastic Voyage, a new Frankenstein adaption, and a promised action movie for Hugh Jackman. Talk about a busy schedule.

Well fans of the popular Marvel comic won't have to wait any longer, because now they can finally see Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Nick Fury side by side fending off evil. If you had your doubts about the Avengers, prepared to be relived, because the new trailer really does live up to the film's high expectations.

The Simpsons is arguably the most successful adult animated program of all time, and whether you much rather watch Family Guy or South Park instead, there's no rejecting that the Simpsons started it all. Well it seems Simpsons' fans won't have to say goodbye to Homer and the gang just yet, after contract negotiations between Fox and the show's voice cast almost put it in jeopardy, the Simpson's has pulled through for two more seasons.

Once again, a comic book movie is hitting the big screen this summer, and it's closing off what has been a pretty impressive run for most comic book movies this summer. Now one of Marvel's most interesting and patriotic superhero's is getting it's chance at reeling in audience members world wide, but is Captain America a strong solo establishment for a beloved character, or just another forced movie made to set up the Avengers?
