Today I’m going to be introducing a new segment I want to try out on you guys called “Blast From the Past.” Original, I know. However, I feel like I need to dig into the geek time capsule and pull out some of these oldies but goodies. First up is a show I’ve loved since watching the movie made in 1988. It’s Alien Nation! And it’s awesome beyond words.

Last week we reported that it looked like John Krasinski would play Captain America in “The First Avenger” set to be released summer of next year. However, there is news that Chris Evans, known for playing Johnny Storm in both Fantastic Four movies, has been offered the part. More after the break.

Attention 24 fans! (the few that  remain) Now I know this season hasn’t been that great and I know it’s hard to keep your loyalty when the quality has obviously declined, but do you really wanna see Jack Bauer gone? If you’re like me and love the occasional torture, betrayals, blackmailing and “Dammit!” then the answer is no. Fear not, for NBC is in talks with Fox about picking up 24. More after the break.

Last month it was reported that Christopher Nolan was to serve as a mentor for the new Superman film set to be released in 2011. Since then we haven’t heard much, until now. Nolan sat down for an interview with the LA Times where he revealed a little bit more details about the new Superman movie as well as the third Batman film. More after the break.

According to insiders at Marvel, John Krasinski is a lock to play Captain America in “The First Avenger: Captain America.” It’s been reported that he’s already read for the part four times and done two screen tests. According to the source, “He is a favorite among the key decision makers and has been asked to come back for more this week.” A lot of you may know Krasinski as Jim from The Office, but if he is chosen for Captain America he will for sure become a household name. The plan is to sign him on for a multi-film deal starting with “The First Avenger” set to be released on July 22, 2011.

Read on to find out.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Christina Ricci in anything spectacular. After the epic-ness of Sleepy Hollow things just started going downhill. Though After.Life (yes, After, period, Life) seems to be the one that will finally bring Ricci back into our good graces, if she ever was in our good graces to begin with. It also doesn’t hurt that Liam Neeson is playing a creepy funeral home director who is the only one that can see Ricci’s corpse but Ricci can’t accept the fact that she’s, well, dead. You can never go wrong with Neeson and that voice of his that could lull you to sleep and scare the crap out of you at the same time.

Apple just released the trailer for After.Life  this week and it looks creepy as hell. But, don’t take my word for it, check out the trailer below for yourself.

Think you’ll be all movie’d out after the Oscars? Well hopefully not because Sunday night, following the Academy Awards show and the late local news, Robert Downey Jr. is set to appear on Jimmy Kimmel to debut the all new Iron Man 2 trailer! Here is the press release:

When Hollywood decides to make a movie based on a video game I always get nervous. Their track record hasn’t been so good. Movies like Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Hitman and most other movies based on games, aren’t really classified as good movies. With the newest movie based on a game, Prince of Persia, coming out soon we’ve decided to dust off some of these old movies and give them another chance. Think of it as a sort of retro movie review. And what better way to start us off than the one that started it all, Super Mario Bros.
