During the age of the motion picture serial, people of all ages would flock to cinemas to catch the next chapter of their favorite hero's latest adventure. Their admiration went to epic pulp heroes like "Tarzan", "Flash Gordon", "Buck Rogers", "Commander Cody", and of course "The Masked Marvel".

Woulda, coulda, shoulda...
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow would have been better with an interesting script. It could have been better with a more engaging cast. Considering all the money spent on making it, it should have been better.
This is one of the few movies of late that I've really been looking forward to seeing.
When last we left Alice (Milla Jovovich), she had just emerged from the underground layer of the Umbrella Corporation but was separated from fellow survivor Matt (Eric Mabius).
The last thing Alice remembers is that she had made it out of the hospital and into the remnants of Raccoon City, which looked like a war zone.
Okay, all of us are driven insane by the amount of cellular phones that are in our society today. From that guy who is constantly on the phone while driving to the mother who is screaming into her phone as she walks down the grocery store aisle, people just don't realize how much they use their phones and how much they disturb people around them.
Don't you just hate it when movies take too long to get going?? It can be really frustrating, especially when you've seen the trailer a hundred times, so you pretty much get the gist of the story.
Cellular gets going right away. Everyone knows Kim Basinger's character is going to get kidnapped, as is her son. This happens minutes into the movie, and that's good.

Raccoon City, U.S. is home to the biggest corporate conglomeration, Umbrella Corp, which is the largest supplier of medical supplies, cutting edge health care technology, and weapon defense systems. Although they are a highly visible to the public, they also have many deep dark secrets, including the Hive, an underground testing facility where a few years back something went terribly wrong.
Intern Academy introduces us to a group of third-year medical students excited to be getting their first internship at Saint Albert's hospital, a facility lovingly referred to as Saint Al's. Al's isn't the best hospital in the health care system as its equipment is either outdated or being sold off by hospital administrator Cyrill Kipp (Dan Aykroyd) to meet the payroll each month.

Those of you who regularly read my coverage on film will know that first and foremost I think of myself as a film critic and secondly as a film journalist. Although I've been approached to do various interviews and have had the opportunity to sit down and talk with a number of actors, actresses, writers, and directors, it's not often that I feel inspired enough to do just that.
Director Kerry Conran's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a look back at how people of the 1940s and 1950s saw the future through comic books, pulp novels, and serials of the era.
What is it like to be lonely?
In every single moment you just seem to flutter by. Not making any real connections but meeting people who never truly meet you.
Then for two glorious months you finally connect with someone, only to watch it disappear as quickly as it arrived.
