First Clip From Upcoming ‘The Monuments Men’

First Clip From Upcoming ‘The Monuments Men’

It’s not like this is one of my highly anticipated films of the year or anything, but I am looking forward to this film a little bit. And a February release make me think the studio doesn’t think very highly of it. Still…

It’s based on a true story from the World War II era focusing on a platoon takes by FDR with the preservation and rescue of cultural artifacts, historical objects, artistic objects, things of value and relevance. The official synopsis from Sony Pictures is as follows:

Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action drama…

‘Batman vs. Superman’ Pushed to 2016

‘Batman vs. Superman’ Pushed to 2016

The summer of 2015 just got a tiny bit less crowded. Variety reports that Warner Bros. has just pushed the Man of Steel sequel from July 17, 2015 to May 6, 2016. The new date pits the Zack Snyder-helmed film directly against an as-yet-unnamed Marvel Studios project, though in all likelihood one or the other will move before then.

Joe Wright‘s Peter Pan origin tale will now move into the July 17, 2015 slot, having previously been slotted for June 26, 2015.

I know some of you will be dissapointed by this news. I’m actually happy about it. 2015 was feeling really crowded. One less big film…

Oscar Nominees of 2014

Oscar Nominees of 2014

TJ is back to give you the news from the past week. First up, the winner at the Golden Globes is ‘12 Years a Slave’. Then there’s ‘Star Wars’ Rumors galore. And they haven’t even started filming this thing. It’s going to be a long wait until the release of this film! ‘Catching Fire’ toppled ‘Iron Man 3’ as the biggest earner for 2013. Pretty big deal. Armond White was kicked out of the New York Film Critics Circle, and good riddance to him. TJ also focused his time and attention this week on ‘Saving Mr. Banks’ by writing a review, and releasing two podcasts about it. ‘Gravity’ is returning to theaters so you should check that out if you failed to see it the first time. A man in Florida was shot in the theater for texting. That’s really not good at all! And TJ has the list of Oscar nominees for you! Of course find out what to see this weekend as well.

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Episode 13 Promo

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Episode 13 Promo

I will continue to maintain that if you don’t like this show we probably can’t be friends. I really don’t get what everybody doesn’t like about this show. It’s really fantastic and it’s just getting better and better. This week’s episode was great where Colson gets to deal with what’s been going on in his past and dig up what’s going on with Skye’s past.

And keep your eyes open for a special Marvel guest start in this trailer!

‘Veronica Mars’ Getting a Web Series

‘Veronica Mars’ Getting a Web Series
Cain Rodriguez

USA Today reports (via Indiewire) that CW—aka the network that cancelled the show—has worked out a deal with Thomas to bring the Neptune universe to the web in the form of a spinoff web series for the network’s CW Seed site. Right now details are sketchy, it could be anywhere between six to eight episodes lasting between five and ten minutes apiece.

Who would this series follow? Well, apparently Thomas was cagey with the network in the meetings leading up to the decision with CW head honcho Mark Pedowitz saying of the show creator, “He talked a little bit but it wasn’t locked in; he talked…

‘Star Trek’ At the Oscars

‘Star Trek’ At the Oscars
TrekNews.net

J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek Into Darkness”, which was released in theaters last May, has been nominated for an Oscar Award for Best Visual Effects.

The team that worked on the VFX for the film include Roger Guyett, Patrick Tubach, Ben Grossmann and Burt Dalton. “Star Trek Into Darkness” will be competing against “Gravity”, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug”, “Iron Man 3″ and “The Lone Ranger” for the prized gold statue.

That’s nice. It had decent effects but there’s no way it wins over Gravity, or even The Desolation of Smaug.

Secret Agent Opening Weekend

Secret Agent Opening Weekend

Prepare to be wowed, or disapointed, I don’t really know which yet. This weekend is the reboot of a franchise that I tend to like in general and it makes me a little nervous. Of course things might also get a little bit nutty. Or you could go for a ride along. Whatever works best for you this weekend.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit — PG-13

Jack Ryan used to be a CIA analyst who would accidentally get himself into all sort of trouble and strange international situations that resulted in action. Well it doesn’t look like that’s the case anymore. Now he’s a secret agent who’s looking for the…
