It seems Sam Raimi has somehow managed to escape from theSpider-Manfranchise with his pride intact.

Well done, Sam, we say.

Glad to have you back.

Its difficult to think of any better feature breakthrough thanThe Usual Suspects.

Then it wasValkyrie, blah, blah, meh.

kindly, though, no more Superman.

He died when Christopher Reeve did.

Hell, there are people whostillwont go in the water.

He probably doesnt want to, though, and with CGI-festTintinon the way it doesnt look likely.

Ridley Scott

Ridley Scotts first film,The Duellists, was a period piece set in the Napoleonic Wars.

So then, huzzah!

What was that bloody ending all about!?

I still just dont get it.

His next film is another Johnny Depp collaboration but there is also the animatedFrankenweenieto look forward to.

Or, it may turn out, maybe not.

Robert Rodriguez

Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with making a childrens film.

Not even three of them.

Three hugely successful ones.

Not, at least, when the chap behind them also made the brilliantSinCity.

Nothing wrong withSpy Kidsat all.

he/she Ratnered that one right up etc; … or noun, a Ratner = e.g.

I just done a fart with a lump in it, me undercrackers are cradling a proper Ratner).

TheStar Warsprequels were rubbish, thanks again to George Lucas abysmal writing.

BeforeStar WarscameAmerican Graffiti, and before thatTHX 1138.

Both had their faults for sure, but Lucas directed these and the originalStar Warsto a commendable standard.

Does a decent director lurk somewhere beneath the beard and second/third chins?

With Lucas now officially the richest man in the universe, will this director ever be seen again?

Will he ever redeem himself?

Who are we kidding.

The mans a hack.
