‘Agents of SHIELD’ Venturing Into Two-Parters (with Trailer!)

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Venturing Into Two-Parters (with Trailer!)
Brendon Connelly - BleedingCool

Set to air on December 10th will be The Bridge, listed as the first in a two part story. Looking at the roster of returning actors you’ll see that J. August Richards, Ajani Wrighster, Cullen Douglas and Ruth Negga are all scheduled to return.

I’ve never been unhappy with the show yet. Indeed, it’s one of the highlights of my week. But even as I’m happy with it, I see room to grow and more potential for the show so I’m excited to seem the start to pull an wider story arc together and to bring back some characters we’ve already met and almost forgotten about.

In a shocking cliffhanger…

Of course there’s some analysis and general thoughts about the first film and how Garry Ross the director handled that film and what it’s strengths and weaknesses are. And of course, how this film blows that one away.

‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ Runs 3 Hours?

‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ Runs 3 Hours?
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

There has been a lot of talk surrounding Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf Of Wall Street”—whether or not it would be finished in time, rumors of NC-17 material and of course, the overall length of the movie, etc. Last we heard, it was going clock in at 2 hours 45 minutes, but word from abroad suggests that the runtime has been padded further.

The folks over at Allocine are reporting that according to France distributor Metropolitan Filmexport, “The Wolf Of Wall Street” now clocks in at 2 hour and 59 minutes (which we can only surmise was done to get under a 3 hour-limit). This would make the…

Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen Officially in ‘Avengers 2’

Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen Officially in ‘Avengers 2’
Marvel.com

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…

Chad Reviews ‘Catching Fire’

Chad Reviews ‘Catching Fire’
Chad Hopkins - ChadLikesMovies.com

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…

‘Gimme Shelter’ Trailer

‘Gimme Shelter’ Trailer

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.

‘The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty’ Trailer 3

‘The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty’ Trailer 3

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.

‘The Wolverine’ Sequel Based on Existing Plotline

‘The Wolverine’ Sequel Based on Existing Plotline
Angie Han - /Film

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…

‘Pacific Rim’ Honest Trailer

‘Pacific Rim’ Honest Trailer

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…

Blazing White Hot — ‘Catching Fire’ Exceeds Expectations

Blazing White Hot — ‘Catching Fire’ Exceeds Expectations
Diana Drumm - The Playlist

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…
