The Dylan Dog Movie Needs to Go Walkies
Well, that was disappointing. I didn’t really have high hopes for the Dylan Dog: Dead of Night movie — I just kind of hoped it would look better than your average Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, which does not appear to be the case (although it is noteworthy that it looks exactly like a BtVS episode). I will say this, though — I’m really warming to Brandon Routh. He’s not Brando or anything, but between Chuck, Scott Pilgrim, this, he does good work. I think I’d actually be fine with him playing Superman again, although there’s no way that would happen. Give him a script that has Superman being awesome instead of a mopey, deadbeat dad and I think we’d have a winner on our hands. (Via First Showing)
