‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ TV Spot

‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ TV Spot

We’re one month away from the debut of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, so naturally it’s time to start getting excited! Marvel has gone out of it’s way with the misinformation campaign on the last couple of films and I have no reason to believe this film is any different. And there’s one line in this little spot that makes me think they’re letting a hint of something slip. If you’ve seen the past trailers and seen me talking about the possible spoilery details then you’ll know to what I’m refering. The whole spoiler thing that happened in the last full length trailer could be an…

Scarlett Johansson’s Pregnancy Effect on ‘Avengers 2’

Scarlett Johansson’s Pregnancy Effect on ‘Avengers 2’
Angie Han — /Film

It was revealed yesterday that the 29-year-old is expecting her first child with fiancé Romain Dauriac. And while we wish her and her family all the best, we can’t help wondering how this might affect Black Widow’s future with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now it looks like we have our answer.

According to E! News, Johansson is due in August, meaning she’s about four months along already. Johansson’s baby bump hasn’t been obvious, but it will be soon. As it gets bigger, it’s only going to get more difficult to keep that hidden under the Black Widow’s signature leather catsuits.

So the…

Don’t Bad Guys Watch Movies?

Don’t Bad Guys Watch Movies?

TJ’s voice is better, his Internet is back, and he and Chad are raring to go! First up: ‘The Muppets’! TJ has been getting caught up in preparation for the upcoming ‘Muppets Most Wanted’ and though he’s enjoyed some of them more than others he’s enjoying himself with the outlandish Muppet clan. Of course there’s also The Oscars to talk about. And don’t forget that there’s the rumor of a new ‘Matrix’ trilogy by the Wachowskis. And this week features two reviews: ‘The Monuments Men’ which neither Chad nor TJ liked very much, and ‘Non-Stop’, which was sadly a far better film than ‘Monuments Men’. What is the state of filmmaking coming to?

Idina Menzel Sings “Let It Go” with Jimmy Fallon & The Roots

Idina Menzel Sings “Let It Go” with Jimmy Fallon & The Roots

You read my post earlier about how much I love Frozen, right? Well, what I didn’t say is this:

I’m sick of “Let It Go.”

Great song? For sure. Deserving of the Academy Award for Best Original Song? Totally. Idina Menzel sings it beautifully? Oh yeah.

But it has been so ridiculously overplayed over the past few months that I’m ready to just Let. It. Go. (I went there!) Despite all of that, I was so excited to hear Menzel perform it live on the Oscars this past Sunday, but I was incredibly underwhelmed, partially because I’m still tired of the song and partially because she didn’t sing it…

Zack Snyder Addresses ‘Batman vs. Superman’ Casting Criticisms

Zack Snyder Addresses ‘Batman vs. Superman’ Casting Criticisms
Adam Chitwood - Collider

We all know what TJ’s opinion of last year’s Man of Steel is. I, on the other hand, enjoyed it well enough, though it certainly had its problems. That being said, I’m actually looking forward to the sequel film, unofficially titled/referred to as Batman vs. Superman

Of course, the talk of the town are the casting choices made so far, with both the selections of Ben Affleck as Batman (affectionately referred to as “Batfleck”) and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor receiving much criticism from fans around the world. Rest assured (?), friends, director Zack Snyder is here to quell your fears in…

New Take on ‘Veronica Mars’ ‘We Used To Be Friends’ Theme

New Take on ‘Veronica Mars’ ‘We Used To Be Friends’ Theme
Lindsey Bahr — Entertainment Weekly

Any true Marshmallow knows the rest of the words. The rousing 2003 Dandy Warhols tune “We Used to Be Friends” underscored the opening credits of Veronica Mars throughout its three seasons on the air. Even though it had a radio life outside of the show (it was even used on an episode of The O.C.!), the song belongs to Veronica Mars. Like all great theme songs, it has become indistinguishable from the show itself.

But Veronica and the rest of the gang have evolved in the past decade, and a new era in the world of our favorite sleuth warrants a new take on the song. On the eve of the movie’s…

‘Frozen’ Passes $1 Billion at Box Office Following Oscar Win

‘Frozen’ Passes $1 Billion at Box Office Following Oscar Win

I really enjoyed Frozen. I’m talking “I-saw-it-three-times-in-theaters” enjoyed it. I’m talking “I-can-sing-most-of-the-songs-word-for-word” enjoyed it. I’M TALKI-

I think I’ve made my point.

Anyway, all of that goes to say that I’m not the only one who really enjoyed this film. For starters, our old friend Joe Darnell and I talked about it on Episode #72 of The MovieByte Podcast. It also won two awards at Sunday’s 86th Academy Awards - Best Animated Feature Film and Best Original Song for “Let It Go,” sung by Idina Menzel (or, as John Travolta would have us believe, “Adele Dazim”) and…

Non-Stop — Review

3 of 5 stars
Non-Stop

The one thing you can never do when Liam Neeson is in the film is say that there was no talent brought to bear for whatever film you happen to be watching. Let’s review.

For me, he really came into prominence with Schindler’s List. While I have no intention of watching the film again, or certainly not for a long time, it’s not because the film is not good or because Neeson was not good. Indeed, Neeson’s performance is amazing and the role is well done.

Then he was the only decent Jedi in a completely mixed up alternate universe where the Star Wars prequels were made (I don’t acknowledge…

The Opening Scene from The ‘Veronica Mars’ Movie

The Opening Scene from The ‘Veronica Mars’ Movie

The Veronica Mars movie will be released on March 14th, but if that’s too long for you to wait, we’ve got the opening sequence right here right now for you.

I have finally just finished season 1 of the show and have started on season 2. I like it for the most part and I love the look of this opening sequence. And while I’m looking forward to the film, I really want to get through all the episodes before I see it so I don’t know when I’ll get to see the film.

Here’s the opening sequence.

Rumor: New Matrix Trilogy in the Works

Rumor: New Matrix Trilogy in the Works
Kellvin Chavez — Latino Review

The Wachowski siblings have a very long history over at Warner Bros. but with the exception of the Matrix Trilogy, none of their movies have had great financial success.

Speed Racer/Cloud Atlas tanked and let’s not kid ourselves, by the looks of it, Jupiter Ascending will not be much better.

We’ve been told that the Wachowski’s have already started the writing process with early treatments and outlines already turned into the studio. No word if they will want to direct but my money says “Claro que Si!”.

I have really mixed feelings about this if it’s true. The Matrix is one of the best…
