What is ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

What is ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

If, like me, you really don’t know much about Guardians of the Galaxy, Hal Rudnick and Co. have some great conversation on the subject for you. I found it fun and informative as someone who has no clue what this franchise even is.

The trailer, while a little strange — I mean really, a talking, gun weilding racoon, I’m supposed to take this seriously? — my curiosity has definitely been arroused and I’m excited to see what Marvel has in store for us!

Screen Junkies does it again, as usual. So try to hold in the barf as you watch!

Oh, and the part about watching it on your phone or iPad… yeah, don’t do that. I’m not even sure I’ll ever watch it again if I can’t watch it in theater.

RoboCop (2014) — Review

4 of 5 stars
RoboCop (2014)

And here is where I’m going to get into unforgivable trouble I’m afraid — at least according to some people. Unlike the original RoboCop, I really enjoyed this film.

I believe that, when you look across the films of history that stand the test of time, the focus is almost always on the story and the characters. My issue with the original film is that they didn’t focus too much on the story and characters. In fact, as I argued, they never really figured out what to focus on.

This modern remake is actually quite refreshing in that regard. The story has been almost entirely re-imagined from…

TV Line’s 5 Things To Know About ‘House of Cards Season 2’
Rebecca Iannucci

Netflix dealt another hand of Cards on Feb. 14, unveiling all 13 new episodes of the acclaimed original series at once. Some things about the drama haven’t changed: Frank Underwood is as ruthless as ever, his wife Claire is still devastatingly stylish and the politics are still really, really dirty. But there are some new elements in the series’ sophomore season. If you haven’t yet pressed PLAY on Season 2, here are five (semi-spoilery) tidbits to know while you watch.

Good stuff to know here.

I am officially an old man now apparently, because there was just no way I could miss too much…

Find Out The Back Story Behind ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ (video)

If you’re like me, you’re not really into comic books that much. I mean I had a few when I was a kid but I never got into them. And I’m not into them now. But I’m really into comic book movies. Weird, right?

Well in any event, just because I’ve never been into the comic books doesn’t mean I’m not interested in a little history lesson. In this video form from Scott Collura of IGN, the information is fun and easily digestible. I enjoyed it a lot and I thought you all might as well.

X-Men: Days of Future Past will be premiering on May 23 so go ahead and watch and get up to speed on what’s…

Honest Trailer — ‘Thor: The Dark World

Honest Trailer — ‘Thor: The Dark World

I wasn’t even sure I was going to post this one until the very end. If you’ve played the game referenced you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about and it’s awesome.

And there are definitely a few funny moments here and there so it’s worth it, even if the movie was pretty good and there’s actually not a lot to complain about in my opinion.

Bryan Singer Talks about ‘Man of Steel’ and ‘Superman Returns’

Bryan Singer Talks about ‘Man of Steel’ and ‘Superman Returns’
Angie Han - /Film

In a recent interview, the filmmaker confirmed that Cavill had been up for the led in 2006′s Superman Returns before Brandon Routh won the part. He also revealed thatMan of Steel was the title he’d been considering for his planned sequel, which would have featured the villain Darkseid.

Say what you will about Superman Returns, I still think it is the second best Superman film made up to this point and I really wish that Singer’s sequel which he wanted to call Man of Steel was the Man of Steel we had rather than that awful mess Zack Snyder delivered to us. But alas, it was not meant to… Read The Rest

9 Clips and a Featurette from the Upcoming ‘Lego Movie’

9 Clips and a Featurette from the Upcoming ‘Lego Movie’

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 7th and stars Chris Pratt, Alison Brie, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman, and Liam Neeson (among others).
