‘Contagion’ opens in theaters on September 8th.
The tagline for Warner Brothers newest theater release ‘Contagion’ is “nothing spreads like fear” and this movie relies heavily on that truism as its plot line. The first half hour of this star-studded movie plays out like an extended version of commercials for every disinfectant product you can think of. Like those commercials, ‘Contagion’ is filled with warnings about the horrors of touching everything and everyone around you.
For me, the problem with ‘Contagion’ and its premise is that, for the most part, it takes a very sanitized look at those horrors. Instead of throwing in some good old fashioned suspense and visual effects, the movie plods along at the pace and style of those documentary movies you used to see in science class in high school. I half expected to be informed at the end of the credits to stay in our seats because there was going to be a test on what we learned.

I guess it’s no big surprise to know that your roving Eclipsemagazine reporter was in the Warner Brother’s Supernatural press room to get all the scoop on Supernatural season 7.
Of course the actors and producers weren’t giving out too many scoops, but what tidbits we did get are more than enough to whet the appetite for Supernatural viewers and fans alike.
We didn’t have time to get Jared to the round table I was seated at, but we did get Jensen Ackles, Sera Gamble and Ben Edlund. So sit back and listen to what this dynamic Supernatural trio had to say about Season Seven!

Today Warner Premiere has released the trailer for their upcoming animated film, Batman: Year One. This animated feature brings to life the comic book version that was written back in 1987 by Frank Miller and artwork by David Mazzucchelli. Personally I’m looking forward to this version of the Batman lore and am interested in what Warner Premiere has come up with. The current cast members are: Ben McKenzie-Batman/Bruce Wayne, Bryan Cranston-Lt. James Gordan, Eliza Dushku-Selina Kyle/Catwoman, and Katee Sackhoff-Detective Sarah Essen. There currently is no set release date for Batman: Year One but it’s coming straight to DVD and Blu-Ray. Check out trailer below:
