Pete Holmes Identifies Some Problems with ‘Wolverine’

Pete Holmes Identifies Some Problems with ‘Wolverine’

So, some minor language, and some finger action at the end, but completely hillarious. When you think about it, Wolverine can be quite the liability sometimes. It’s a wonder they let him stay on the team. Although, technically, I guess he’s not really on the team at the moment… unless you stayed for the end credits of the last Wolverine film.

Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill Behind the Scenes of ‘Jedi’

Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill Behind the Scenes of ‘Jedi’
Dalton Ross - Entertainment Weekly

In the video below shot on April 12, 1982 during filming on Return of the Jedi, we see Han Solo (Harrison Ford) calling Jabba the Hutt out as a “slimy piece of worm-eating filth” (a slight variation on the “worm-ridden filth” line from the film) while Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) warns the Hutt to “free us or die” as crew members look on. Reading Jabba’s lines are none other than ROTJ director Richard Marquand, who also shouts out orders to stuntman Dicky Beer, who plays Jabba’s skiff guard Barada. The scene ends with everyone — cast and crew — looking off and marveling at something in the…

Anthony Daniels as C-3PO to be in ‘Star Wars VII’?

Anthony Daniels as C-3PO to be in ‘Star Wars VII’?
Sean O’Connell - Cinema Blend

Did Anthony Daniels just open up J.J. Abrams’ infamous Mystery Box? 

The original C-3PO appeared at the New York Comic Con recently to host a spotlight panel that he promised would NOT divulge any new Star Wars: Episode VII secrets. And he almost made it through the entire session without revealing what might be a spoiler. Or might not be. You have to be the judge. 

“Walls have ears. And we know what they look like. They’re very big ears,” Daniels joked to the gathered crowd, referring to Mickey Mouse’s signature ears.


Still, after being baited by an audience member about how important…

Stan Lee Want Cameo in ‘Man of Steel’ Sequel

Stan Lee Want Cameo in ‘Man of Steel’ Sequel
Graeme McMillan - The Hollywood Reporter

You might have thought that the prospect of the first live-action meeting between Superman and Batman would be enough to propel Batman vs. Superman —apparently the working title of the follow-up to this summer’sMan of Steel —to box-office success. Just in case that alone isn’t enough, however, Stan Lee has an idea to guarantee the movie’s success: Give him a cameo.

“I’ll show you why DC isn’t so smart,” he told fans at the recent Wizard World Nashville Comic Con in a moment of tongue-in-cheek ego gone wild. “If I were the head of DC, I would contact me and say, ‘How about doing a cameo in…

Gravity’s Orbit Decays Very Little - Box Office Report

Wow, for the third week in a row, and bringing in with it’s third week more than many have made at the top in their first week I might add. It’s pretty incredible, but not surprising seeing what a great film it is indeed.

Budget: $100 Million
Totals: $30 Million, Weekend / $169.5 Million, Domestic / $114.2 Million, Foreign / $283.7 Million, Worldwide

I am neither surprised nor upset by this runaway success. After such a huge slump of mediocre to bad movies at the box office for weeks on end, the best movie to yet hit the screens this year was sure to have some…

Theories About Agent Coulson

Theories About Agent Coulson
Natalie Abrams - TV Guide

Warning! Potential Spoilers for Agents of SHIELD.

It’s the big mystery of the fall TV season: How is Agent Coulson actually alive?

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has yet to answer the question on how the team’s fearless leader Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) is still kicking after being stabbed in the chest by Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in The Avengers. But Tuesday’s episode did offer up another clue that could point us in the right direction. Let’s first take a look at the clues we’ve already been given:

“Pilot” 
Agent Coulson lives! Coulson believes that he died very briefly, but was then…

Paul Greengrass responds to Claims of ‘Captain Phillips’ Inaccuracies

Paul Greengrass responds to Claims of ‘Captain Phillips’ Inaccuracies
Peter Sciretta - /Film

Captain Phillips tells the true story of the hijacking of the ship Maersk Alabama, and how Captain Phillips heroically sacrificed himself to save his crew.

Of course like any Hollywood movie, the events are dramatized to make them more cinematic, but most of the facts in the film stay true to Phillips’ account of the story. The only problem is, Phillips wasn’t the only one there, and now his ship’s crew has come out publicly to dispute the events and even blame Phillips for the whole mess. Of course, the crew is currently in a lawsuit with  Maersk Line and the Waterman Steamship Corp. for…

Darth Vader TV Special?

Darth Vader TV Special?
Russ Fischer - /Film

Among the plans are things that we know, such as the launch of Star Wars Rebels on Disney XD, and the new Episode VII feature film to hit in 2015. (This pamphlet, by the way, would seem to squash any rumor that Episode VII will be pushed out of Summer 2015 and into December of that year.)

But one line is very curious. In the Spring/Summer 2014 column is this line: “Darth Vader Themed TV Specials.” Check out an unverified image of the brochure below.

I think I just died a little… do. not. want. 

Robin Williams in Talks for ‘Night at the Museum 3’

Robin Williams in Talks for ‘Night at the Museum 3’
Russ Fischer - /Film

Night at the Museum 3 will put Ben Stiller back in the lead role as security guard Larry Daley, under the direction of Shawn Levy.

Now Robin Williams is in talks to reprise his role, too, as the wax dummy of President Teddy Roosevelt that is among the objects that come to life in the museum at night.

The bigger news to me here is that Night at the Museum 3 is happening. The two preceding films in this franchise have been surprisingly good. The question now is whether they can recapture the magic of the first two.

‘Building Ender’s World’ - A Behind the Scenes Featurette

‘Building Ender’s World’ - A Behind the Scenes Featurette

For those of you looking forward to this film as I am, I’ve got a little treat for you. Summit has prepared a nice little behind the scenes video about the making of Ender’s Game which will be released to theaters on November 1st.

There’s always something a little bit fun and cool for me to see a video of how they make stuff, even if it’s really less about the nitty gritty details of making the film and more about promoting the film.

Fun fact, when I saw director Gavin Hood on the screen I thought, “he looks familiar,” so I looked him up. He played a Russian Colonel Alexi Vaselov (aka a…
