2 Guns — Review

2 of 5 stars
2 Guns

Well it wasn’t terrible but…

What a horrible way to start a review, right? I mean, I want to say something nice about this film because I didn’t hate it. It was entertaining and enjoyable on a few levels, but on other levels this film also failed to deliver. That makes this film kind of mediocre.

Yet on the other hand, this film has a couple of problems, and one very significant problem, hence: it wasn’t terrible, but…

Twists and Turns

This film definitely has a few more curve balls in store than the average film plot these days, and that’s not actually a negative thing. Often, it seems…

‘Ender’s Game’ Trailer 2

‘Ender’s Game’ Trailer 2

I didn’t get to show you guys the preview trailer for the full trailer that came out yesterday because I was away from my computer when it happened. But the internet has been somewhat abuzz since that came out yesterday. And so today, as the studio promised, we have the full trailer number 2 for Ender’s Game.

This is yet another apocalyptic themed film this summer. I’ve pointed out before the apocalyptic themes we’re seeing lately, and though the book was written many years ago, the film is just now being made. I’m not sure exactly what is up with all the apocalypse stuff, left-over Mayan…

Critics Are Mean to ‘The Lone Ranger’

Critics Are Mean to ‘The Lone Ranger’
Jesse David Fox - Vulture

Ever since the film’s embarrassing, sub-$30 million opening, the people behindThe Lone Ranger have been complaining about critics. And now, as the film opens internationally, they seem to be doubling their efforts. That’s where this interview clip with Yahoo U.K. comes in. For three minutes, it features Armie Hammer, Johnny Depp, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and director Gore Verbinski just complaining about the American press. 

Deppp posits that “the reviews were written seven to eight months before” the film’s release. Bruckheimer adds, “they were reviewing the budget, not reviewing the…

Tom Hiddleston Confirms Loki is not in ‘Avengers 2’

Tom Hiddleston Confirms Loki is not in ‘Avengers 2’
Drew Taylor - The Playlist

First and foremost, Tom Hiddleston, who has become a breakout star of the Marvel cinematic universe (especially when he adorably appeared at Comic-Con in full Loki regalia), confirmed to Entertainment Weekly what he had been skirting around since his appearance at the Con: that Loki will not be a part of “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” “He’s not in it,” Hiddleston told EW flat out. “Here’s the thing: I don’t think there’s anything else Loki could contribute to ‘The Avengers,’ narratively. Joss gave me so many wonderful things to do in that first film that we’d only be trying to repeat ourselves…

RUMOR: John M. Chu to Direct Next ‘Star Trek’ Film?

RUMOR: John M. Chu to Direct Next ‘Star Trek’ Film?
Kevin Jagernauth - The Playlist

The dudes over at Latino Review are reporting that Jon M. Chu, the man behind “G.I. Retaliation,” is a “contender” to direct the third installment in the “Star Trek” films for a 2016 release. This is all well and good, except for the fact that he’s committed right now to some other big franchises. Most notably, it was just under a couple of months ago that Paramount tagged him to helm “G.I. Joe 3”— which we presume is a series they don’t want sitting around too long— while he’s also got “Masters Of The Universe” brewing at Sony. So we’d reckon he’s a guy they like a lot at the moment, though…

Mission: Accepted - Christopher McQuarrie to Direct ‘MI:5’

Mission: Accepted - Christopher McQuarrie to Direct ‘MI:5’
Kevin Jagernauth - The Playlist

Even though he’s been playing it cagey and cool, this news is hardly shocking. As far back as last fall, prior to the release of “Jack Reacher,” Christopher McQuarrie was expected to write and direct “Mission: Impossible 5” for his bud Tom Cruise. Even earlier this year he was undecided on directing and attached himself to some other projects along the way, including Warner Bros. long developing remake of “Ice Station Zebra” and a U.S. adaptation of the U.K. miniseries, “Unforgiven.” But it looks like he’s accepting the mission.

The writer/director hit Twitter to day to reveal simply: “ Read The Rest

World War Z, Brad Pitt’s hit zombie apocalypse epic, will debut on Blu-ray and other home-viewing formats on Sept. 17.

‘Riddick’ Trailer from Regal Movies

‘Riddick’ Trailer from Regal Movies

I still haven’t had a chance to see the first one, which I do plan to do before I see this one so I can have a good context for the universe and the upcoming film.

I will say, as a side note, that it’s fun to see a few Battlestar Galactica alums popping up. This past weekend I got to see Edward James Olmos in 2 Guns, Tricia Helfer got a stint in Burn Notice a couple years ago (I’m a big fan of Burn Notice), and now Katee Sackhoff is showing up in Riddick.

Anyway, enjoy the trailer.
