PICS, PICS, PICS:
Guys, got some pics for ya to start off today's headlines. On your left you'll find the official first Punisher pic! The movie is directed by Jonathan Hensleigh and stars Thomas Jane. Well, I really don't like this pic, he doesn't look as cool as the Punisher I've seen in the comics so at this point I still prefer Dolph Lundgren who played The Punisher back in to 90's (thanks to Superhero Hype). The second pic is the new poster of the Clint Eastwood thriller Mystic River, provided by Dark Horizons who got the world premier with this one. The third one is an awesome one of Jet Li's upcoming Danny the Dog! Click here to see some more. The last pic is a cool Neo vs. Agent Smith pic found at Latino Review click here to see more.

Hayden Christensen talks Episode III at Yahoo Movies: "It's not in the story if we begin from where we left off." - So, no heavy breathing? No black mask? - "None of that. As far as I know. But that's very little," he says. "George Lucas is notorious. He keeps it all very secretive."
