I continue to hold out very little hope that in terms of the Biblical narrative this will actually be a good film. I expect it to be unfaithful to the text. But at the same time, I doubt it will be as bad as Noah was.

There’s also the fact that I really love the tone of this trailer. I love the look, I love the feel of it, I actually really love what little we see in this trailer of Bale’s performance, and Joel Edgerton looks like he’s going to knock it out of the park! There are two levels on which a film derived from a Biblical text can be judged. The first is obviously its faithfulness to…

Dead gods, cyborg clones, and the end of Asgard — Ragnarok could be a big deal. Marvel recently announced that the third Thor movie, Thor: Ragnarok, is due for release in July 2017, with Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston returning to reprise their roles of Thor and Loki. But what is Thor: Ragnarok, exactly?

“This is a very important movie for us in Phase 3,” said Marvel’s Kevin Feige when announcing the movie. “We plan on taking Thor to another level. It picks up where we leave Thor in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ and impacts everything that comes after.”

Great read and good analysis by…

This film looks extremely stupid, so it’s probably perfect for Johnny Depp. He certainly seems very much at home in this film. It’s slightly reminiscent of the Pink Panther franchise if you ask me.

I’m sure the film will get a few laughs, but I don’t know if it will be worth my time to go see. But, you never know, sometimes you just get in the mood for a few laughs at the movies, you know?

I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about a third installment in this franchise. I was quite pleasantly surprised by both of the previous films, so maybe I should have had a little faith. And at the end of the day, these films are comedy gold. Throw in a bit of story and it’s all good, right?

Also there’s the fact that this will be one of Robin Williams last films.

I don’t know if this one will be as good as the previous films, but it looks like it actually has potential. Still, it does feel like their dipping back into the well one too many times. We’ll see on December 19 when it hits…

I stumbled across this little thing, and it looks at least mildly entertaining, or maybe a little more.

Here’s the synopsis:

Small-time crook Ethan Tell makes a big-time score when he and his wife succeed in pulling off a million dollar heist, while also leaving their co-conspirators with nothing. But Ethan’s luck changes when he’s caught by police, and after serving time Ethan’s determined to go straight and make an honest living. However, that plan goes awry quickly when he’s violently pursued by two corrupt detectives, his parole officer, the co-conspirators, and even his wife, who are…

James Gunn was set to return for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 before Guardians of the Galaxy 1 even opened. But it seems his vision extends even beyond that. In a new interview he reveals he’s already been thinking about Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and has been since he was working on the first one.

I think it’s good that he has the story in his head and they’re not just making more because of money.

If Gunn really has plans for Guardians of the Galaxy 3 worked out in his head, and if Marvel really lets him bring them to fruition, it could make the Guardians of the Galaxy series a bit…

Interstellar may have also suffered from a foregone conclusion of presumed success while Big Hero 6 cruised into the top spot on a double-dose of brand goodwill.
“Christopher Nolan hasn’t missed and that creates massive expectations,” says BoxOffice.com’s chief analyst, Phil Contrino. “The Disney brand is so strong these days. And Big Hero 6 is a combination of Disney animation—which people go to see on reflex—combined with themes familiar to people who see Marvel films.”

According to several industry analysts who requested anonymity, however, Interstellar’s second-place finish can be…

Playmobil, that other company that made childhood figurines and action playsets, managed to get ON Entertainment, Wild Bunch and Pathe to throw $80 million towards a feature film. Bob Persichetti (“Monsters vs. Aliens,” “Shrek 2,” “Puss in Boots,” “The Little Prince”) is going to guide the project, bringing in the production team of the latter to get this moving. Production will take place in Montreal, and the movie will hit in 2017.

This is not going to end well, mark my words.

This whole “waiting almost six months for Age of Ultron to come out” thing may get a little tedious if Marvel keeps teasing us like this. They have released an extended teaser trailer for Age of Ultron. The tone of it is the same as the first, and indeed, much of the footage, the clips, even the Ultron voice over is the same. The music is the same. But there are subtle differences throughout — new clips and footage we haven’t seen yet, and most importantly, more extended dialog from Ultron at the beginning of the trailer.

I don’t know how I’m going to survive the wait. Check it out…
