Marvel Announces ‘Captain America’ Movie Marathon For This Thursday Last year, Marvel Studios tested the mettle of comic book movie fans with “The Ultimate Marvel Marathon,” a 28-hour marathon consisting of 11 movies, climaxing with the brand newAvengers: Age of Ultron. I didn’t attend this event, but I know people who did. They have war stories. Their posteriors (and their sanity) never returned to full working order. Marvel isn’t doing anything as extreme as that this year, but they are still offering fans the chance to numb their butts in the name of superhero fandom....

Roger Avary Is Returning To Silent Hill There will be more shenanigans inSilent Hill. The 2006 film, directed by Christoph Gans didn’t do terribly well, but Konami’s game series is a perpetual seller, suggesting that there is room for another film. So screenwriterRoger Avaryis re-teaming with producerSamuel Hadidato rebuild the foggy, freaky town.

People will accuse you of being in places you’ve never been, friends will sheepishly tell you stories about time they thought they saw you on the street, it’s a wild situation. Dickens, Dostoevsky and probably a hundred other artists with ‘D’ last names have explored the phenomenon, and while it’s a rich well for any artist to draw from, we truly can’t stop laughing atRyan Reynolds' pizza-packed doppelgänger confession....
