More "Twilight," WB puts DC superhero movies on hold, and "Smallville" returns


I'm totally psyched that "Twilight" is being released on DVD March 21. I was afraid it wouldn't be released until late April. The DVD cover looks awesome. Can't wait. You can pre-order your copy today here. As I've said before, I can't believe how much I liked this movie. Yep, I jumped right on that Twilight bandwagon without much effort and am officially a TwiHard, ladies and gentlemen. Now, I've read all four books by Stephanie Meyer, and I am eagerly awaiting filming for "New Moon" to begin, although, I have to admit it wasn't my favorite book in the series. I'm sure Kristen Stewart will have no problem pulling off a depressed and tortured Bella though, but I will never believe she actually falls for Jacob, even if Taylor Lautner is one cutie patutie.

Apparently Warner Brothers has decided to put a hold on all of its DC superhero projects for the time being. This means no new Superman film, no Wonder Woman film, no Green Lantern film, etc. etc. for a while. On one hand, I'm pretty P.O.'d. I mean, just make the next Superman movie already. Cast Routh. Get Geoff Johns to write a killer script. Make the movie. How hard can it be? Then again, projects tend to fail when they're rushed under pressure from money-hungry execs (i.e. "New Moon"?). Hopefully the next Superman film will be worth all of this turmoil.

Finally, "Smallville" is back with a new episode this week. I can't believe this season has been so awesome and it will probably be its last. Oh well. All good things must come to an end.
