“I’m just excited, and happy, and I’m shouting out to you guys to say thank you. Universal just called me and told me Riddick is number one on the DVD charts. There’s no way Riddick would have been made without you guys. You know that. and you guys have been a part of our page since 2012 and remember how arduous a road it was to get the movie made, and to make it rated ‘R,’ and to do it with such a low budget. It’s a win for all of us and I really, really thank you so much. Yeah, I’m excited, and of course, Universal also says they want to develop the next one.”

Okay, I suppose that’s…

The LA Times reports that Paramount will release both digital and film versions of “Interstellar” when it hits cinemas last this year. And it’s not really a big shock. Of course, the filmmaker has long been an advocate of celluloid, and, naturally, his latest is being shot on 35mm with IMAX utilized for some sequences. So from a technical standpoint it makes sense, and, frankly, the cost of striking prints is worth it to keep someone like Nolan happy, and hopefully in your studio corner for years to come. But Paramount teases that other movies and directors might get a break as well.

I…

Variety reports that the Russos will be back for the inevitable “Captain America 3.” Of course, there are no details beyond that, but the trade notes that test screenings on ‘Winter Soldier’ have gone so well, Marvel wants to get a third installment with these guys going as fast as possible. And while there is no screenwriter just yet, the Russos are apparently already putting together a story arc for the third movie. And although there’s no official release date, Marvel is currently sitting on two dates in 2016, and one in 2017. Could they be hoping to get the next movie done in time to…

Join TJ and Chad for a review of the surprise hit, ‘Lone Survivor’. But up first, TJ got a cool ‘Star Trek’ shirt for his birthday. Then, ‘Atlas Shrugged 3’ is apparently a thing — whatever. TJ and Chad have fun walking through Mike Fissel’s list of top 13 films. The new Maleficent trailer is set to the classic Disney tune ‘Once Upon a Dream’, but it may not be the way you remembered it. And there are nine (count ‘em, NINE) new clips and a really awesome featurette for the upcoming ‘Lego Movie’. Folks, it’s looking pretty awesome! And obviously the reason you’re here is for the primary review. TJ and Chad may differ on their rating but they agree on many of the featured points.

Following up on my peice yesterday of non-movie related news:

Earlier this month, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata indicated Nintendo was looking into a new business structure involving “smart devices” after the company experienced its third consecutive annual loss in light of increasing competition from mobile platforms. 

While that statement was interpreted by some as an indication of Nintendo’s plan to develop game titles for iOS and Android, it appears that the company instead intends to use smartphones to market its existing handheld and console hardware and game lineup.

According to…

After the bungled “is he/isn’t he” reveal surrounding Benedict Cumberbatch‘s John Harrison/Khan character in STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS put a hole in J.J. Abrams trademark secrecy surrounding projects he has directed or produced, many have been left wondering whether or not he would employ the same with STAR WARS: EPISODE VII. With Disney and Marvel very open and timely with their news surrounding superhero movie news, can Abrams do the same with Lucasfilm’s pride and joy?

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Abrams was asked about how his history of playing things close to the vest will…

This Tumblr is amazing. NO REALLY!

Man, this is the right way to market a film. Especially that featurette! I am now legitimately excited for this film. Also, let me tell you that the voice cast for this film is pretty much perfect in every way.

I played with LEGOs a LOT as a kid but I don’t think I was every this imaginative or could have conceived of something like this. This looks like a lot of fun.

The film will be out on February 7^th and stars Chris Pratt, Alison Brie, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman, and Liam Neeson (among others).

This is from a week ago, but as I’ve already metioned, there wasn’t a lot going on over the weekend that was of interest to me. And this is one I had saved to talk about but never got around to.

Recently in an interview with MTV, Ruffalo say that Avengers 2 is “better, it’s cooler, it’s more awesomer,” It’s a little bit darker, but also really has Joss Whedon’s incredibly, witty and sly sense of humor.” There’s also apparently more for Bruce Banner to do.

Obviously I would expect Joss Whedon’s next Avengers film to be better, but I’m glad to hear that Bruce Banner may be made better use of.…
