Ron Perlman has been a force in television and film for three decades. He’s no stranger to fans, especially those he won as Hellboy and as Clay Morrow on Sons of Anarchy, and he’s appeared in a handful of movies every year since 1993 (with 1996 and 1999 being the only years he appeared in only one). You know him. You love him. Now, we’re ready to pronounce 2011 The Year of The Perlman because while he’s worked steadily in movies small and big alike for a long time, this was the year that he really ate his spinach and showed his face in an almost absurd amount of flicks. What’s more, his performances spanned the quality spectrum enough to earn him the Shyamalan Award For Bizarrely Up and Down Work. It’s important to note that his acting was rock steady throughout, but even with (and with the addition of his talents), he was in some terrible (and some amazing) movies. From prestige films, to independent action, to summer epics, to that one thing with Nic Cage, Ron Perlman was everywhere doing everything.

I can’t say that I had any fondness for the original Hellboy film that director Guillermo del Toro made, but I thought he picked things up quite a bit for Hellboy II: The Golden Army. It came off a lot less as a studio driven project and showed more of the imagination and scope of something like del Toro’s masterpiece Pan’s Labyrinth. It was enough to make me a fan of the series, and ever since, like a lot of people I’m sure, I’ve been waiting for word about del Toro doing a third. But, we film fans have grown accustomed to waiting for things when it comes to del Toro’s next project. Originally he was scheduled to be the director of The Hobbit, but then scheduling issues took him off of that film. Then we all got excited about him doing monster movie At the Mountains of Madness, but Universal decided they didn’t want to fund the project. Instead, they wanted him to do Pacific Rim, another monster movie about a creature coming out of the Pacific Ocean. But even that project got thrown into question once the horrific earthquakes took place in Japan. It’s beginning to feel like Guillermo del Toro might never direct another film. And now, just in case we were wondering, there’s confirmation of another project that the director will definitely not be doing. Hellboy creator Mike Mignola had some more than discouraging words to say about a possible Hellboy 3 when talking on a [Due to Content Scraping and Theft, we have been forced to try abbreviated feeds.

In honor of the release of Hancock on DVD on November 25, we have put together our list of the Ten Most Misunderstood Heroes in Movie History. Check it out.

I literally have no idea where I’ll be or what I’ll be doing nine hours from now… but Guillermo Del Toro is already planning ahead nine years into the future. He makes the rest of us look so lazy and unmotivated.

One of the best scenes in the new Hellboy movie is when he pounds down beers with fellow freak Abe Sapien. If you ever wanted to be like Hellboy, you can join him with this game.

So the big red guy himself is reaching out to the massesin this new public service announcement. It’s kind of like one of those “the more you know” tv commercials.

Director Guillermo Del Toro likes surprising us on film, but when it comes to the people he works with he likes to keep the surprises at a minimum.

We take a look at our favorite quirks of Hellboy.

Hellboy has a rich comic book history, and as with most great comics characters, there are a lot of really cool collectibles available based on the character and his series. Here’s a look at ten of the best Hellboy and BPRD collectibles.

Comic book movie adaptations have been abundant lately, with Hellboy being unique in its lack of computer generated images, and its substitution of prosthetics, puppetry, makeup, and costuming. The use of physical tools instead of animated ones assists in making the world of Hellboy seem real.

Would Brandon Routh’s Superman stand a chance against the green giant? What about Christian Bale’s Batman? Here who we think might actually stand a chance against the Incredible Hulk from the new film.

Forget the Zohan! With the Zohan, the worst thing that can happen is you’ll get squeezed between his unnaturally hard butt cheeks. With these other characters, you risk death… or worse.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find adjectives that will describe the level of badass that Hellboy II: The Golden Army could achieve.

SlashFilm has posted an image from the free Hellboy comic presenting a “what if…” scenario of awesome proportions.

Robert Fure is fed up with crappy comic adaptations. Can Iron Man lead the way to a new age of awesome?

The monster issue that is the Entertainment Weekly 2008 Summer Movie Preview is on newsstands and in mailboxes everywhere. Find out why we just can’t quit this damn thing.

In anticipation of the forthcoming second trailer for Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Universal has unleashed a batch of new photos from the film to keep all the Hellboy fanatics fed. Our question: how many Hellboy fanatics are there, really?

An exclusive bit of casting for the upcoming Screen Gem’s film Legion!

Although you may not know his name, you know his work: the indelible images of Star Wars, E.T., Jurassic Park and Harry Potter.

IGN has released some great new pictures from Guillermo Del Toro’s upcoming Hellboy II: The Golden Army, and coupled it with some wicked cool news about a trailer for the film.
