We’ve already talked about how you should probably run for your lives and not watch this because it’s a Young Adult film adaptation and I like it. My track record isn’t spotless here (*cough*CityofBones*cought*). That said, I do think this has some potential to be interesting.

This film is based on the book by Veronica Roth and I admitedly know nothing about it. It has a long list of semi-known and unknown stars such as Shailene Woodley, Kate Winslet, Theo James, Miles Teller, Maggie Q, Jai Courtney, Zoe Kravitz, Ray Stevenson, and Ashley Judd.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Divergent” is…

And there’s the first tease at the end of the movie is obviously Guardians, but it also, with the infinity stone, seems to set up some Phase 3 stuff. Is that safe to say?

Yeah. I mean we have… We are always sort of building towards additional things and what’s fun about that reveal for fans and for fans of comics and fans of movies is I think that’s the first time that we reveal that The Tesarac is an infinity stone, that the aether is an infinity stone. You may see another infinity stone in Guardians and certainly fans of the comics know what one can do with all of those stones if, god…

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to pay for the fifth time to see the further adventure installments of Ethan Hunt. Yep, Paramount has set a date for “Mission Impossible 5,” which is now scheduled for a Christmas 2015 release. Currently, its only direct competition is Ben Affleck’s directorial effort, “They Live By Night,” but of course, “Star Wars: Episode VII,” opens the weekend before and will presumably be a box-office juggernaut for at least a few weeks afterwards (everyone thus assumes the same-day-dated Duncan Jones’ “Warcraft” is probably going to have to move to…

The first trailer I saw for this film had a particularly sort of almost indy quality about it. I’m not sensing that in this trailer.

I’m still undecided about whether I think this film will be any good or whether it’s just going to have a lot of blood guts and gore and not a really good story behind it. They certainly want us to think they’ve got a good story, and maybe there’s one there. But it’s definitely going to be violent. It does have quite the cast: Christian Bale, Zoe Saldana, Woody Harrelson, and Willem Dafoe. Ridley Scott is also producing (though he just turned out a stinker with…

Prepare for the epic-ness in what is quite possibly the most awesomely title episode of MovieByte ever! This episode brings together four of the best podcasters the nine realms have ever seen. Join TJ, Chad, Joe and Fizz to discuss the current state of the Marvel Cinematic universe. Find out which films have been better and which don’t work so well in the differing opinions of these four. Spend a short amount of time with them in reviewing the first ‘Thor’ film. And finally, take an epic walk through the finer point, intricacies and details of ‘Thor: The Dark World’.

Who is Disney’s most evil villain? I’m sure I don’t know (Ursala comes to mind though), but Maleficent is probably way up there. And certainly, even just looking at her silhouette brings a chill to one’s spine.

That being said, I’m not sure if I needed a live action version of Maleficent on the big screen. But we’re going to get one anyway. And it looks like Angelina Jolie is up to the task. Granted we didn’t get much of a look at her, but she certainly seems to fit the role.

Here’s the synopsis and trailer:

“Maleficent,” the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 1959…

In an article released by The Hollywood Reporter earlier this fall titled “Summer Box Office Fallout: Studios’ New Fear of the $200 Million Tentpole” there was a little bit about Trek 3′s (and the previous Trek movie’s) production costs.

...

Paramount also will look to save money on another Star Trek — a franchise, but not quite in the top tier. This summer’s $190 million production Star Trek Into Darkness has earned over $462 million worldwide; its international haul has exceeded expectations at $234 million, but domestically, its $228.5 million hasn’t matched the first film. Whereas…

Back in October, I travelled to London to do interviews for the current #1 movie in the world, Thor: The Dark World. Since then, we’re run a bunch of quotes from my interviews, but now that the film is out, we’re going to run all the interviews in full over the next three days. Here you can read about all the spoiler discussion in context, as well as more specific questions related to the film and some stuff about upcoming projects and superhero movies in general too.

Below you can read my full interview with Loki himself, Tom Hiddleston. 

NOTE: THE INTERVIEW FEATURES SPOILERS FOR THOR:…

In this episode, TJ gives his brief review of ‘Thor: The Dark World’, and why it’s much better than the first film. In fact, it’s a pretty good Marvel film in general. It features great chemistry between Thor and Jane, plenty of fun and humor, plenty of seriousness, and a lot of Loki. What’s not to like? Of course it’s not all roses as there are “some” issues.
