A new poster for The Hobbit is making the rounds, and I don’t know about you, but it tends to remind me of posters from the previous trilogy. This is not a bad thing though, making the tie and connection to The Lord of the Rings trilogy given my initial feelings about The Hobbit were not good, but I love The Lord of the Rings.

I do have to say I’m getting excited for this film in spite of myself. I really hope I’m not disappointed.

Here’s the new poster:

And for comparison, here’s a couple from the Lord of the Rings trilogy:

Excited for Looper? You should be. Rian Johnson‘s return to the big screen featuring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels, Paul Dano and a whole bunch of time-travelling awesomeness is fantastic. Lots of new posters, videos and more have been popping up leading up towards the September 28 release and now two videos of behind the scenes footage have come online.

Getting geared up! Beware there are probably some spoilers here if you are looking for them. I just loved watching the behind the scenes footage and didn’t really see anything that was plot revealing to…

If you’ve been successfully avoiding spy photos from the southeast Asian set of James Mangold‘s The Wolverine, you’ve about to be rewarded with claws and veins. 20th Century Fox has released the first official image from the X-Men side story starring Hugh Jackman as the adamantium laced badass. It’s scheduled for release July 26, 2013, check out the image below.

I’m a big fan of the first two X-Men films. The third was pretty bad, obviously not anywhere near the level of the first two. And for a while I was not interested in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, or X-Men: First Class. Having…

Need to get your super-hero library caught up with all the current movies? Amazon may be able to help with that if one of those movies you are missing is Iron Man 2.

Who knows how long it will last, but right now, you can get Iron Man 2 for $9.99 at Amazon. Seems like a great deal to me! So go and buy.

Man of Steel has been able to maintain secrecy surrounding the story line and what villains like General Zod will be up to. Just who Superman will face off appears to be General Zod (Supe’s nemesis in Superman II) but this week there has surfaced an unusual tip that another super villain may take a serious role in the film. LEGO, the toy brick company we all know and love, may have spilled the beans for another villain in Man of Steel.

Collider reports these LEGO sets are in the making for a release in 2013:

• 76000 Arctic Batman vs. Mr.Freeze – Aquaman on Ice
• 76001 Batman vs.…

Marvel’s The Avengers releases for Home Entertainment this week and we’re giving you a chance to win a copy! Details and rules below.

We’ll give you your choice of either a Blu-ray or iTunes download. Everyone has their preference when it comes to physical versus digital copies. The advantage of Blu-ray is that it has a place on your shelf, you can physically loan out your copy — you have a hard physical copy. The advantage of iTunes is the instant gratification, the ability to download the film from iCloud again and again, or watch it instantly on your Apple TV, or any other Apple device…

After two semi-successful attempts at bringing Bruce Banner’s The Hulk to the big screen, most everyone agreed Joss Whedon finally got it right in The Avengers. However, the argument was maybe it worked this time because Hulk was a supporting character instead of the star. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige didn’t agree with that and threw around the idea of possibly making another standalone Hulk movie in the future, this one starring Mark Ruffalo who is under a multi-picture contract with Marvel.

The questions are when would that happen and what story would it tell? In a new…

Now Jenny Slate, a former SNL cast member, is writing a new features for Warner Bros. that will likely become another hybrid CG/live-action film featuring the likes of Bugs, Daffy, and more.

Well that’s interesting. This is slightly more concerning.

THR says that the producers are David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith, with the latter being the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies author, and the screenwriter of Dark Shadows and the author/screenwriter of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. And, frankly, after those last two films, I can’t say that his name attached to this project…

Premiering Friday, Sept. 28 at 9/8c, the 13-episode farewell run is set almost exclusively in the year 2036 — as was Season 4′s Episode 19, “Letters of Transit”* — as Fringe team members past and future try to solve the hairy problem that is an Earth ruled by Observers.

Check out the poster here (spy the callouts to the series’ assorted “bumper” icons, like the handprint and apple?), then scroll down to read more about Season 5.

I’m really looking forward to this season even though it’s only going to be a thirteen episode final run. I am sad of course that there isn’t going to be…
