Variety reports that Tobey Maguire is re teaming with his "Pleasantville" and "Seabiscuit" collaborator, director Gary Ross, for "The Crusaders." It's a drama based on the historic 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education that made segregation in American schools illegal.

An anthology graphic novel inspired by the music of Tori Amos, "Comic Book Tattoo", debuts at Comic Con this week. Some of you may know Tori has a long history with comics, due to her long friendship and association with celebrated writer Neil Gaiman. We'll be talking with Tori out in San Diego. Look for that exclusive chat right here on REELTALKtv.com next week.

"Surfwise" is a slowly paced documentary we reviewed several months back on the show. It's about a quirky 85-year-old California doctor and his family. They live out of a van and traveled up and down California's coastline, surviving, getting close to nature and being home schooled. Some may find this interesting, but I thought the guy was half nuts and the film a sun drenched bore. However, if you disagree with me, it's out DVD now and you can watch some scenes from the film...

In Fanboy nation, no film is being watched with more scrutiny and anticipation than Zack Snyder's take on the celebrated graphic novel "Watchmen." Check out the first trailer for the film, which is due out March 6, 2009. For years, comic fans have wondered how anyone could translate the epic scope of the story to the screen. Well, this first teaser should help ease many of those doubts. And how unrecognizable is Billy Crudup as Dr. Manhattan?!?! Expect more on the "Watchmen" movie later this week after the film's presentation at the San Diego Comic Con. Keep checking back here for the latest updates, as we'll be out there to pass the word on. Now, enjoy the trailer!

After recieving praise at the Cannes Film Festival, 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' is finally expected to be released on August 15th. Starring a provocative cast like Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson and Oscar winner Javier Bardem, Woody Allen combines all of the talent and throws in a strong sexual underlying theme, that I don't know about you, but it makes curious to see what else happens in Allen's latest masterpiece. Check out the final trailer here!

By now, anyone who cares about box office figures knows that "The Dark Knight" exceeded even the sky-high preliminary estimates to earn a record-shattering $158.3 million over its first three days (the old record was last year's "Spider-Man 3" with $151 million).

I can't recall a movie earning such a strong combination of stellar reviews (you can check out Jeffrey & Alison's review by clicking here) and tremendous word-of-mouth from audiences. I had friends -- some comics geeks, others people who wouldn't know Two-Face from Clayface -- email me all weekend long raving about the film. I would say "Iron Man's" reign as the year's top grossing film (currently at $314 mil) is in serious jeopardy. TDK is on pace for much higher numbers. That extended time in theaters can only help the possible Oscar campaign for the late Heath Ledger and the film itself.

Lost in the Bat-mania (all the hoopla over TDK really did remind me of the fanfare surrounding 1989's "Batman") was that Hollywood had its busiest non-holiday weekend EVER.

In light of "Mamma Mia" coming over from the stage onto the silver screen, we thought why not give you something about all of the other musicals that made the same move! Check it out!

In reviewing “Mamma Mia!” on this week’s show, I didn’t have time to mention the sound design, which I found to be extremely distracting in its sterility. Not only were the songs obviously pre-recorded…and the actors lip-synching but all of the dialogue sounded looped. This had the effect of putting the viewer at a remove from the action. So, even though the scenery appeared picture-postcard perfect…I never felt like I was on the Greek island with the characters.

The talk of an Oscar nomination to the late Heath Ledger isn't just hype. His performance ranks right up there with Sir Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter in "Silence of the Lambs" and Anthony Perkins' Norman Bates in "Psycho." Ledger's costars have been answering questions about him in every interview, rather than hyping their own performances, as well they should.
