Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen have officially joined the Avengers family as the brother-sister duo of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the highly-anticipated sequel to 2012’s smash-hit “Marvel’s The Avengers”! “Avengers: Age of Ultron” arrives in theaters May 1, 2015.

These characters, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, probably mean something more to those of you who are more of the comic book geek types than me. While I am a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I know literally nothing else about The Marvel world. But I’m sure that they’re…

Adaptations of books are often difficult to pull off, but 2012′s The Hunger Games (my review), based on Susanne Collins’ 2008 book of the same name, managed to be both a decent adaptation of the source material and a pretty good film, though it was certainly not without its shortcomings. When director Gary Ross was replaced by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend), the question arose: will this new director be able to improve on Ross’ film, or will he make the same mistakes? I can happily answer that The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is an improvement over the original film in every possible way.

I…

You know how these things go, this could be good, or it could be awful. At this point, the trailer gives us enough to make it look like it could be good. Of course I’m not yet sure what the point of the film is and where it’s going.

The other issue is that it might be hard to see this film. It’s apparently in theaters only one day — January 24 — and who knows how many theaters that will be.

One thing is sure, Hudgens seems to be drawn to the gritty films lately doesn’t she? Take a look.

It’s hard to calculate just how much I don’t care about this film. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be drawn to, a guy who… daydreams? What? It’s a little strange. But, you know, different films interest different people. If you’re interested, then this trailer is for you. Have fun.

James Mangold and Hugh Jackman have been pretty vague so far about the “really cool ideas” they’re considering for the upcoming sequel to The Wolverine, especially because they haven’t settled on any one concept just yet. But one thing we now know for certain is that it’ll be based on an existing comic book storyline.

Mangold let the fact slip in a recent interview, during which he also discussed when, exactly, the movie might take place.

Asked by I Am Rogue whether the sequel would be based on a comic book arc, Mangold answered:

Absolutely. I can tell you that in determining where we…

I love Honest Trailers! I’m not sure how, but somehow, I missed this when it came out. I know I could subscribe to the Screen Junkies channel on YouTube, but honestly I don’t use YouTube that way and don’t want to. I see a video, I click and watch, then I go away. I know there’s a whole YouTube culture or whatever where people spend a lot of time on the site and subscribe to a bunch of channels and etc. etc. Well, I still use RSS feeds like they’re the last hope on earth and I found a way to subscribe to a YouTube channel as an RSS feed. So, I have now added the Screen Junkies YouTube channel…

Exceeding already great expectations as the highly-anticipated sequel to “The Hunger Games” (which opened with $152.5 million), “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” made a jaw-dropping, predecessor-surpassing $161.1 million (already making back its reported $130 million budget domestically) and averaged $38,704 per theater. This opening weekend marks not only the top opening for star Jennifer Lawrence (beating out her previous bests “The Hunger Games” and “X-Men: First Class” with $55.1 million) and Lionsgate (beating out “The Hunger Games” and “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2” with…

TJ and Chad really wanted to see and talk about ‘The Book Thief’ but they got bit by the limited release stuff and couldn’t find it playing anywhere. So instead in this episode they talk about how stupid the MPAA is for fighting a losing battle against piracy. They also spend a bit discussing the upcoming ‘Star Wars’ film and the fact that Samuel L. Jackson says that Mark Hamill hasn’t been contact about playing a part yet. But they’re not despairing for the film yet. And this week’s main topic of review is ‘A Few Good Men’ from 1992. This may seem a bit out of the blue, but it’s a favorite of TJ’s and a great film. Chad had never seen the film before so be sure to tune in and get his take!

In this episode TJ talks about the discontinuing, at least for now, of his weekly box office report article. But he’ll still keep talking about it on The Wrap. Also why hasn’t there been an episode of ‘The MovieByte Podcast’ this week? TJ explains. And then of course, he does discuss last weekend’s box office results. CBS says they’re not really interested in ‘Star Trek’ on TV right now. The ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot begins filming in March — TJ isn’t thrilled about this. A great video has in the “internets” about the ending of ‘Inception’. Check it out! Cookie Monster was in ‘The Hungry Games: Catching Fur’ which was pretty awesome! There’s a new worst idea ever: A sequel to ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’. Gag. This week in ByteSized Video Reviews, TJ stepped back a few weeks and reviewed ‘Gravity’. Samuel L. Jackson says Hamill and McGregor have not been contacted about ‘Star Wars VII’. Weird about Hamill. Die Hard is plunging ahead with a sixth film and one must ask hard questions, like why? The MPAA is weathering serious losses from piracy — but not in the way you think. They’re spending all their money on lobbying to stop piracy. Ironic. And of course, TJ walks you through what’s available to see this weekend.
