Happy Fourth Of July!

Happy Fourth Of July!

There won’t be any movie news today because it’s Independence Day and I have things to do! Here in the United States, it’s a day for hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, beer, and fireworks. Normally I would happily partake in all of those — and the opportunity may indeed present itself — but I’ll actually be attending a wedding today first. So double celebration for me: Independence and, well, togetherness.

You all enjoy yourselves, shoot off lots of fireworks, find some cool fireworks to watch, have a beer, grill some man food, you guys know the drill. Have fun, be safe, don’t drink and drive, and…

‘Enchanted 2’ On The Way

‘Enchanted 2’ On The Way
Erin Strecker — Entertainment Weekly

Seven years after Amy Adams brought fairy tales into modern New York City, Enchanted is—finally!—continuing after ever, ever after, according to Deadline.

J. David Stem and David N. Weiss (Shrek 2, The Smurfs) will write a sequel to Enchanted, with Anne Fletcher (The Proposal, The Guilt Trip) set to direct the follow-up to Disney’s worldwide hit, according to Deadline‘s report. There currently isn’t any word on whether any or all of the original stars—Amy Adams, James Marsden, Patrick Dempsey, Idina Menzel, and Susan Sarandon, among others—will return, or what exactly the plot details will…

‘Batman’ (1960s) Blu-ray Remastered Trailer

‘Batman’ (1960s) Blu-ray Remastered Trailer

I sure loved the reruns of this show growing up but I can’t think of anything more apalling now. Funny how that works. And yet, as apalling as it is, I do get sort of nostalgic whenever I see clips from this show. It’s a cheesy and a cheesy piece of cheese, but it’s just a part of my childhood I guess.

This Blu-ray set of 120 episodes in all its remastered HD glory can be yours in November. Check out the trailer:

Honest Trailer: ‘Planet of the Apes’ (2001)

Honest Trailer: ‘Planet of the Apes’ (2001)

Tim Burton’s 2001 Planet of the Apes has to be one of the worst films in existence. So obviously, the Honest Trailer for this one nails it. And I’m certainly looking forward to the upcoming film and expect it to be even better than the rebooted reboot, which was decent enough.

This week, TJ, Clark, and Fizz tackle the pure awfulness that is ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’. While we try to tackle things that in general are wonderful and good and likable, it is fun once in a while to do a complete smack-down and that’s what you’re going to get this week. Other topics of interest include ‘Star Wars’ and Harrison Fords injury, ‘Pacific Rim 2’ set for 2017 and an animated ‘Pacific Rim’ series, and Frank Darabont set to direct ‘Snow White and the Huntsman 2’.

Transformers: Age of Extinction — Review

1.5 of 5 stars
Transformers: Age of Extinction

This movie exists for one reason: you people keep seeing these awful things. And I think I know why too. Though no one will admit to liking Michael Bay or the Transformers films, people turn up in droves. To a very small extent, it’s difficult form me to completely fault the young teenage guys from seeing these films. It is the ultimate major “make stuff go boom” franchise. Guys love that stuff. Ooo, that stuff is exploding all over, look at that helicopter crash INTO THAT GIANT ALIEN SPACESHIP!

There’s also the other obvious angle for the teen guys: hot girls in cutoff shorts and midriff…

The Bayest Bay Film Bay Ever Bayed

The Bayest Bay Film Bay Ever Bayed
David Chen — /Film

Transformers: Age of Extinction is a relentless assault on the senses that somehow still managed to bore me to tears. It’s a 2 hour and 40 minute film that features giant robots riding enormous robot dinosaurs killing bad giant robots, yet is devoid of any meaningful thrills or excitement. Filled with explosions, flying glass, a laughably incoherent plot, and paper-thin characters who behave completely nonsensically, this movie dares you to try and look away from its mess, then punches you in the throat with its runtime as your body urges you to head for the exit.

But maybe that’s okay.…

‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ Receiving Very Positive Early Reviews

‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ Receiving Very Positive Early Reviews
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

Feeling very confident, 20th Century Fox has started showing it early to critics and the first wave of reviews have come in, and they are almost unanimously positive. If Rupert Wyatt’s “Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes” showed that the franchise could updated, taken seriously and deliver the blockbuster bang audiences now expect, Reeves seems to have taken it to the next level. It’s still about two weeks before it will land in cinemas, but Fox will be going in with some pretty terrific buzz ahead of the opening. But enough from us, here’s what critics and sites had to say. And believe it or…

Bryan Singer Teases Treatment for ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’

Bryan Singer Teases Treatment for ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’
Bryan Singer — Instagram

It appears that Bryan Singer is ready to put the scandals and allegations behind him. Yesterday he took to Instagram to post a picture of the treatment for the upcoming film X-Men: Apocalypse. It is his first photo on Instagram. Due to the allegations, he bowed out of all press leading up to Days of Future Past, and we haven’t really heard anything from him regarding any productions he’s been involved in. This certainly makes it appears as if he’s “back in the game”.

So what can we glean from this little teaser photo? Well, the word “The Nile” are visible so we can assume Egypt is involved…
