Review: The Losers
The Losers is based off a comic, but make no mistake, this is no Kick-Ass. Carrying a PG-13 rating the action is more centered on the usual explosions and gun fights and the language is tempered. Most notably the movie just breezes through with little in the way of actual conflict or concern. The Losers is the definition of underwhelming.

Kick-Ass Narrowly Wins at the Box Office
Kick-Ass was able to scrape by How to Train Your Dragon for the top spot at the box office this weekend. The comic book adaptation pulled in just under $20 million, beating out Dragon by just $200K.

The internal multiplier (Friday vs the weekend total) for Kick-Ass was 2.64 which is encouraging for a movie of this nature and show...

The La Times' 24 Frames Blog is reporting that Paramount is working on releasing a reboot to the popular cartoon Might Mouse. The project, based on the vintage cartoon about a crime-fighting super-mouse (which will surely get a modern spin) has been in development for several years at Paramount and its Nickelodeon Movies label.
