‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ Trailer 2

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ Trailer 2

I sure hope this film is as fantastic as it looks. Sure, it’s completely unrealistic, but it looks just spectacular. Sure, it will be goofy, but my money says there’s a story in there.

Mathew Vaughn is directing, and he’s begun to make quite a name for himself. He does solid work and I think this has the potential to prove his best film yet. Colin firth is, of course, a solid choice, though not necessarily someone you would expect to see in this particular role. But I think he’ll work well.

There’s also Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Caine, and Mark Hamill. Lots to look forward to here.

Liam Neeson Talks ‘Tak3n’

Liam Neeson Talks ‘Tak3n’
Edward Davis — The Playlist

“This time, no more traveling,” Liam Neeson told USA Today this morning. “If my daughter was ‘taken’ again on a trip, Bryan Mills would have to be certifiably locked up for bad parenting.” Yep, that’s right. They’ve changed the formula of the “Taken” series, with the title being rejigged as “Tak3n.” This time, Mills is the prey after he’s framed for the murder of someone close to him. And since no promotional pics of  Famke Janssen have emerged, maybe it’s her?

I guess we’re going to do this. Please, please, please be better than ‘Taken 2’! That actually shouldn’t be all that hard, right?…

Kirsten Dunst in Short Film ‘Aspirational’ About Selfie Culture

Kirsten Dunst in Short Film ‘Aspirational’ About Selfie Culture

I may be pre-disposed to like this because of my general loathing and hatred for the selfie culture, but I do like this. It’s short and it makes a point. If I ever had the opportunity to talkt o Kirsten Dunst, I honestly have no idea what it would be about, but it sure wouldn’t be to ask her tag me. Maybe I’d chat with her about her role in Spider-Man, or what it was like to do Jumanji with Robin Williams.

This short film, unfortunately, may hit a little bit close to home. Check it out

A Few Upcoming Films

A Few Upcoming Films

I have been very busy lately. Very busy. In addition to my day job of web development, which I work roughly eight hours a day, give or take, I also take client work when I can (I have to the freedom to do this with my job). Plus I see at least one movie every week, podcast about it every week, and write various bits and pieces for the site every day — well except I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t really do that on days that I podcast as well. Case in point: today (I’m writing this at 9:15 PM the day before you will be reading this) I got up at five to work three hours on a freelance…

‘Godzilla’ Writer Max Borenstein to Script ‘Godzilla 2′

‘Godzilla’ Writer Max Borenstein to Script ‘Godzilla 2′
Angie Han — /Film

Godzilla 2 already has a release date, director, and list of monsters in place, and now it also has a writer. Max Borenstein, who scripted this summer’s Godzilla, will be back to write the sequel.

Deadline reports that Borenstein’s deal with Legendary has already closed. Details on the overall plot of the new movie haven’t been revealed, but kaiju teased at Legendary’s Comic-Con panel include Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah. (And Godzilla, obviously.)

Yeah, so that doesn’t give me a lot of hope for this film. I mean the first one was fine. Just okay. But every problem I had with that film was…

‘Supergirl’ TV Series Coming to CBS

‘Supergirl’ TV Series Coming to CBS
Angie Han — /Film

Supergirl is coming to CBS. The network has just landed the DC Comics adaptation, which is being executive produced by Greg Berlanti (Arrow) and Ali Adler (No Ordinary Family).

The pickup means that, if all goes well, four of the five broadcast networks will airing shows based on DC characters next season. The fifth, ABC, will still be in the costumed-hero game, with Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. There is the small (very small) chance that it could be good, but I’m not betting on it. D.C. is doing a pretty terrible job at the…

CGI Animated ‘Popeye’ Test Footage

CGI Animated ‘Popeye’ Test Footage

Popeye was one of my mainstay cartoons growing up. It was funny and unique and I enjoyed it immensely. Looking back on it, it’s pretty cheesy and probably not really worth watching. But it still holds a special place in my heart.

I was unaware of this CGI movie until just now, and I have to admit the idea of it is not very endearing. Much like my initial thoughts on the Peanuts film, I just don’t think this could be all that good. I’ve been giving this some thought to try to figure out my own thoughts and put them into word for you. I think the problem for me is that reviving these old…

‘Bourne’ Talk On The Playlist

‘Bourne’ Talk On The Playlist
Edward Davis — The Playlist

Politics, politics, politics. It’s the name of the game in Hollywood. Earlier this summer, producer Frank Marshall insisted Matt Damon wasn’t returning to the ‘Bourne’ series (because he had to) and now, he’s essentially admitting to it because the cards are all on the table. Yes, Matt Damon is coming back to play Jason Bourne, but it’s complicated (as THR says, “Let’s hope Matt Damon and Jeremy Renner don’t bump into each other at a restaurant.”).

“We’re on two tracks,” Marshall told the trade about the two ‘Bourne’ currently movies in the works. “And if this one [with Damon and Paul…
