AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR — Joe Russo On Attempting To Improve Upon CIVIL WAR —
Marvel Studios has been churning out quality films for a while now, and while they all aren't bright spots (Thor: The Dark World, Iron Man 3) it's fair to say that most of them are pretty good, if not great. With Captain America: Civil War, Marvel put it all together. They gave us a fast-paced action-adventure film with fun and exhilarating set-pieces, the welcome comedic interaction between a… → Read More
5 Reasons Why ROGUE ONE Could Be The Best Star Wars Film Yet —
It's pretty great that we don't have to wait multiple years for Star Wars films anymore — they're just coming down the pipeline every year now! There seems to be a tiny bit confusion around the newest film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, because they don't clearly state in any of the trailers that the movie takes place right before the original Star Wars. But the events of this film happen right… → Read More
MIB 23 Isn't Likely, Says Jonah Hill —
Remember when Sony's emails were hacked and a bunch of interesting information was released? Among all the drama between Hollywood-folk and some Spider-Man news, there were a few interesting little tidbits of information regarding the development of a Jump Street/Men in Black crossover/sequel/reboot. Earlier this year, it was reported that James Bobin (Muppets) was in talks to direct, and Sony… → Read More
INFERNO Trailer: Tom Hanks Has The World in His Hands —
I'm going to say it in a public forum: I like Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series of novels. Is he a great writer? No. Are the books great? No. It's a guilty pleasure of mine, and I find myself enjoying the adventure and story, especially how it weaves and integrates real-life art and architecture. I know I'm in the minority and I'll accept all the hate that rains down on me for it. Having said… → Read More
THOR: RAGNAROK: Tom Hiddleston Teases Loki's Return in Set Photo —
Perhaps the most interesting and universally-liked villains of the Marvel Universe is officially on set and filming for Thor: Ragnarok! Tom Hiddleston took to Instagram to share a teaser photo of the god of mischief in costume. It's going to be nice to see him tangle with Thor and The Hulk again, especially after Hulk just pummeled him into oblivion at the end of The Avengers. The first two Thor… → Read More
Is LETHAL WEAPON 5 Coming? Maybe, Says Exec Producer of TV Reboot —
All the way back in 1987, Shane Black wrote and directed the first installment in the Lethal Weapon series. Who knew, fast forwarding to present day, that we'd be discussing a television reboot and a potential fifth installment? Certainly, Black created some great characters that have had great moments over the years, but is there enough interest in Riggs and Murtaugh's continuing adventures on… → Read More
5 Reasons Why AQUAMAN Will Be The Standout Film and Character in The DCEU —
Yeah, you read me right. Aquaman isn't due to be released until 2018, and by then we'll have seen the character fight alongside the Justice League in Zack Snyder's upcoming epic. Looking past that, we have The Flash and Aquaman, and while The Flash is probably going to be a fun ride, Aquaman is going to give us a world and character that's been relatively untapped in the mainstream. To most,… → Read More
5 Reasons Why DOCTOR STRANGE Will Set A New Bar For The Marvel Cinematic Universe —
Holy shit, am I right? Comic-Con has come and gone, and like always, it came with a plethora of new footage for some upcoming blockbusters. It must be said that I wasn't able to attend Comic-Con this year, so I wasn't able to see any of the extra footage that was shown in person, but as far as I can tell, Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange is going to be something special. Why? I'm glad you asked.… → Read More
BEETLEJUICE 2: "It's Possible That Ship Has Sailed," Says Michael Keaton —
Did your heart sink a little bit? Mine too. Sources reported that Tim Burton was returning to direct Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton in Beetlejuice 2 a couple of years ago, with Burton saying in an interview that a script was in the works, and it was "closer than ever" around a year ago. The talk about the movie has gone back and forth since then, and while being interviewed about his upcoming… → Read More
Why You Should Be Watching Syfy's 12 MONKEYS —
I know, I know. The Syfy Channel hasn't had a really good rep in recent memory. Yeah, they were responsible for gems such as Battlestar Galactica and all those Stargate spin-offs, but they were also responsible for films like Sharknado. Look, I'm not trying to hate on you if you like Sharknado — I know there are a lot of people out there that enjoy B-movies and how ridiculous they are, but if… → Read More
Marvel's THE DEFENDERS and THE AVENGERS Will Differ Greatly, Says Jeph Loeb —
We're right in the middle of San-Diego Comic-Con, and juicy news is pouring out at a rampant pace. Along with new looks at Luke Cage and Iron Fist, we learned that Daredevil will be returning for a third season. We all know that The Defenders has been a planned series for Netflix, but while talking to Cinemablend, Marvel Studios' Head of Television Jeph Loeb shed some light on the… → Read More
Comic-Con Mondo Posters For Captain America and Ant-Man Revealed —
It is upon us again! San Diego Comic-Con is underway and with it comes many treasures and treats, especially if you're fortunate enough to attend (which, sigh, I'm not). The super talented artists at Mondo have revealed some new posters featuring the Marvel Studios films Captain America: The First Avenger and Ant-Man. If you're interested in purchasing any of these amazing prints, you can head… → Read More
Review: Netflix's STRANGER THINGS is a Fun, Heartwarming Ride...With a Dark Side —
I'm just on the other end of shotgunning eight hours of Netflix's new series Stranger Things, and I'm still reeling from the emotional rollercoaster ride. Right off the bat: if you're thinking this is a show oriented toward kids (which is sort of what I thought), you're so wrong. While creating a feeling of youthful nostalgia and adventure, Stranger Things deals with some heavier themes during… → Read More
Why BATMAN V SUPERMAN Backlash Will Benefit The DCEU Moving Forward —
Around three years ago, Zack Snyder swept the rug from under our collective feet and announced that he would be tackling Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. We rejoiced, we cried, we hated...but regardless of what camp you belong to in our world of infinite opinions, there was one simple fact no one could ignore: this was going to be an event. Fast forward to present day: BVS has come and gone.… → Read More
