Marvel has so few misses these days, that you have to wonder when the next one is coming… but I sure don’t think this is going to be the one. How do you come off the heels of a very serious and kind of emotionally heavy film like Captain America? Well, it looks like Marvel’s answer is Guardians of the Galaxy in which we get to see Chris Pratt play Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel use his baritone to declare that he is Groot, a African/American woman play a green alien, and a CGI raccoon… make some adjustments to his costume… (I have truly seen it all now).

Seriously though, this looks like a…

Finally, a pretty good look at what we’re in for with Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film Interstellar starring Mathew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Casey Affleck, and Michael Caine. It looks like a very emotional story about a father who does what he can to make a better future for his children. Regardless of the impetus behind the space exploration plot feeling slightly forced, it’s Nolan and I think it’s going to be really good. And there’s hardly a better story to be found than a father’s love for his daughter motivating his actions.

As you would expect from Nolan, it’s…

Here’s a kind of convoluted rumor for you to chew on as we continue to wait for no news about Star Wars: Episode VII. According to an interesting e-mail we’ve intercepted, and which purports to come from within Disney’s marketing department,  the studio are planning to re-release A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi on DVD/Blu-Ray/On Demand in their original form, without all the things George Lucas changed for the “Special Edition” releases back in 2004.

I want this so very, very badly. I will buy in a hearbeat. And yet, Devin Faraci over at Badass Digest brings me…

With Godzilla in theaters, Legendary and Warner Bros. have revealed discussions for a sequel. We don’t know what the story will be (Mothra, perhaps?), and there is no confirmation that director Gareth Edwards will return, but given the performance of the first film, there’s reason to guess that the job of directing Godzilla 2 is Edwards’ to refuse. The fact of sequel development hardly comes as a surprise, but this is the first official nod acknowledging that something is in the works.

I’m not shocked. It’s the first good take on a Godzilla film as far as I’m aware, and Godzilla already…

Disney has chosen to tease its upcoming live action film Cinerella with a single shot of the iconic glass slipper and some very Disney-ish sounding music.

I’ve said it before but, I’m just not sure why I needed a live action Cinderella and this does absolutely nothing for me. But I suppose I am not the target demographic.

Now, the film does have a somewhat interesting cast. Hayley Atwell as Cinderella’s Mother, Helena Bonham Carter as Fairy Godmother (wait, what?), Cate Blanchett as Lady Tremain, Richard Madden as Prince Charming (don’t know this actor but felt weird to leave him out),…

Well, this looks about like the complete and utter dreck you would expect from a Michael Bay Tranformers movie. But, it does have Stanley Tucci in it. Maybe that can raise the bar to make it a little bit watchab… hahahahahahaha. Nope. Couldn’t do it with a straight face.

But whatever, if you guys are into dumb stupid action films that have no plot and/or substance, then you’ll love this trailer.

It doesn’t matter who directs Star Trek 3.

If there’s anything we’ve learned from the past two decades of blockbusting dominance, it’s that sequels are somehow not universally feared anymore. If there’s a second thing we’ve learned, it’s that studios are embracing franchising instead of stripping a popular movie for parts and hack-jobbing it into a 7-movie series composed mostly of direct-to-your-home schlock until it fails to turn a profit on diminishing returns.

And if there’s a third lesson, it’s that the insulation of studio filmmaking has largely made the director’s name irrelevant.…

Earlier this week, The Tracking Board reported that Elba, who stars in the television series Luther and was recently seen in Thor: The Dark World and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom could be cast as the lead. It did not specify which part Oprah could be given, although the main character, Mackenzie Allen Phillips, encounters three versions of God while in the shed, one of them Papa, an African-American woman.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

The two other members of the Trinity who Phillips meets are Jesus, a Jewish Carpenter, and Sarayu, a woman of unclear Asian descent whom…

I continue to be intrigued by this film. I hear it’s a bit of a myth that we only use 10% of our brains, but I like the idea anyway. And that idea is present here — that if we could tap into the rest of our brains that we might be able to do a lot more cool things. In the real world, I don’t see any of this happening. But it makes for a fun fantasy film.

Here’s the synopsis, followed by the new trailer.

Set in a futuristic world that is run by the mob, street gangs, drug addicts and corrupted cops, Lucy (Scarlett Johansson), a woman living in Taipei, Taiwan, 2069 AD, works as a drug mule…
