My guess is you will want to have a box of tissues very close when you go to watch this one. And if you’re a guy, woe betide you should the secret of your less than manly emotionalism be discovered. At least that’s sure the kind of movie this looks like.

The film is based on the book by John Green and features Shailene Woodly as Hazel and Ansel Englort as Agustus Waters. Hazel and Agustus meet at a cancer support group and the two fall in love. But there’s no way this film is going to end on a super sweet surypy note because Hazel’s cancer is terminal while Augustus’ is in remission. That…

Everybody was talking up a big storm about how cool this looked and so I clicked and I was a little disappointed. But you know, it’s about a film I’m greatly looking forward to so I thought I’d go ahead and share it with the rest of you movie geeks. It’s not like we don’t already know who Wolverine is or anything, but you might be able to glean a few tidbits from this little piece.

Things got a little crazy and I had to take some time off from the podcast. But we’ll be back tonight with Michael Minkoff and Mikey Fissel to talk about Darren Aronofsky’s lateset film, Noah. I believe we’ll get some great conversation going with both of these fellas on the podcast with me as they each approach things from differing worldviews, but where we are all three Christians. We should have some great things to discuss.

I anticipate the podcast being out and available for your downloading and listening pleasure Wednesday morning so stay tuned!

We always knew that Warner Bros. were planning “Justice League,” but nothing was concrete. Last summer there were rumors that “The Flash” would drop in 2016, followed by “Justice League” a year later, but with “Batman Vs. Superman” now taking the ‘16 slot, that doesn’t seem likely (not to mention that whispers of a movie around “The Flash’ seem to have quieted). But today, WB has pulled the curtain back (somewhat) on their plans.

The Wall Street Journal reports that WB has made it official that “Justice League” is happening, though there are a few caveats. Firstly, the script is still being…

The threesome of Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton proved to be too much for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Fox’s raunchy girlfriends comedy, about two mistresses who team up with a man’s insecure wife to ruin his life and rediscover theirs, earned $24.7 million to bump the Marvel superhero from his three-week box office run at No. 1.

It was a surprisingly high number for The Other Woman, given that some analysts speculated the movie would do about half that by appealing strictly to female moviegoers. Given Diaz’s comedy track record with everything from There’s Something…

Whedon starts by saying the new characters in AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON like Baron Von Strucker (Thomas Kretschmann), Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) serve a purpose, and are necessary for the story he is trying to tell.

I fiercely dislike the idea of just throwing in more people for the sake of doing that. But last time I had all of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes versus one British character actor, and I needed more conflict.

The director continues by saying he’s having a lot of fun with James Spader‘s Ultron.

I’m having a blast with Ultron. He’s not a…

The potential Justice League roster just expanded by one in Zack Snyder‘s new vision of the DC Universe. Theater actor Ray Fisher (not the football player) has been cast as Cyborg in Batman vs. Superman. Since Fisher just played Muhammed Ali in a play staged in New York, he should have the chops to sign on as Cyborg.

Variety reports that the character won’t have a large role in the film, but his role could expand as Warner Bros. preps more DC Universe films. That raises more questions than it answers, really. Variety says “[Cyborg] will become a much more significant role as Warner and D.C.…

Can you believe there’s not a single new film I feel like is worth mentioning this week? I guess I chose a good week to take off of podcasting (and don’t worry, we’ll be back next week with some special guests to talk about Noah).

Captain America: The Winter Soldier — PG-13

I have a very soft spot in my heart for Captain America: The First Avengers. A lot of people complain that it only existed to set up The Avengers but I find that to be quite disingenuous. Yes, the ending leaves you hanging slightly because, duh, it is certainly a lead in to The Avengers. But it is so…

Disney is swinging forward with its adaptation of The Jungle Book, with two actresses in the midst of boarding the project being directed by Jon Favreau.

 

Scarlett Johansson and Lupita Nyong’o are in the middle of negotiations to join the already castIdris Elba in what is being envisioned as a live-action/CG hybrid movie.

Nyong’o is in final negotiations to play Rakcha, a mother wolf who adopts Mowgli.

Johansson is in earlier stages of talks to voice the character of Kaa, the python who eats other animals by hypnotizing them. Kaa is the movie’s second villain after Shere Khan, the…
