The Tribeca Film Festival, normally held entirely in Manhattan’s Tribeca district (it stands for "TRIangle BElow CAnal street") today announced Spider-Man 3 will have a star-studed gala premiere in Queens at the UA Kaufman Astoria 14 Theater.

Martian Child showing its literary roots, sort of
One of the films that might get lost in the 10 billion dollar summer is a little film called The Martian Child, based on the Hugo and Nebula award-winning story by SF writer David Gerrold which, despite the title and pedigree, isn’t really a science fiction story. It stars John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Joan Cusack…

ROBERT GREENBERGER: Death be not proud
The rule of thumb used to be that the only characters that stayed dead are Uncle Ben, Bucky and Barry Allen. Some version of Uncle Ben is running around in Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man; Bucky turns out to have survived and is now the Winter Solider; and if you believe Dan DiDio’s “slip” of the tongue,…

Now YOU can slurp Spider-Man!
Spider-Man fans (and people like me who collect lenticulars) can take part in the upcoming media frenzy over the release of Spider-Man 3 this month at more than 5,800 participating 7-Eleven stores in the United States and Canada.

MIKE GOLD: You say you want an evolution…
I like Martha Thomases’ idea of 365, as reported on ComicMix yesterday. A full-length comic book story each and every day for a year. Now that would be an event. Sadly, most such comic book events aren’t worth the effort, let alone the price. The stories are overblown, their effects on their “universe” temporary –…

MICHAEL DAVIS: The Davis List
There seems to be a whole lot of people who get to tell us what they think we should see, what they think we should buy what is the best, worst, the must haves and the stay away froms. Most of these experts put out a list so that we can revel in their genius….

JOHN OSTRANDER: Fire-bombing Dresden
I’m a big fan of The Dresden Files. Which is why I can’t take The Dresden Files. Maybe I should explain. About a year ago or so I picked up a novel by Jim Butcher about a wizard-for-hire working out of modern day Chicago. It meshes the hard-boiled detective genre with the wizard and fantasy…
