Liam Neeson in ‘A Walk Among The Tombstones’ Trailer

Liam Neeson in ‘A Walk Among The Tombstones’ Trailer

Hey look, it’s Liam Neeson playing the grizzled action hero, who would have thought?

But seriously, this does look kind of good. Pluse the writer, Frank Scott, wrote one of my favorite films — Minority Report, so maybe there’s something good here.

The film arrives in theaters on September 19. Check out the trailer!

‘Stargate’ Movie Reboot is Now a Thing

‘Stargate’ Movie Reboot is Now a Thing
Mike Flemming Jr. — Deadline

Big day for reboots. First it was Cliffhanger, and now MGM and Warner Bros. announced they are teaming with Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin to create a re-imagined trilogy based on the sci-fi hit Stargate, one of the biggest titles in the MGM library. Emmerich, who directed and co-wrote the original film with Devlin, is on board to direct this one, with Devlin producing. Those two are already hard at work on a new version of Independence Day at Fox.

Sigh. See, here’s the thing: I don’t know too many Stargate fans who are really big fans of Roland Emmerich’s original film. Most fans I know…

Synopsis for Pixar’s ‘Inside Out’

Synopsis for Pixar’s ‘Inside Out’
Cain Rodriguez — The Playlist

From the tepuis of South America to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning director Pete Docter has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In 2015, he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all – inside the mind of an 11-year-old named Riley.

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis…

James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender Imitate Their ‘X-Men’ Counterparts

James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender Imitate Their ‘X-Men’ Counterparts

It’s sort of a cheesy media blitz promotion, but sometimes it’s a lot of fun. Recently Sir Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy interviewed each other, as did Sir Ian McKellan and Michael Fassbender. The results provided in this clip are pretty fun.

Lately, both Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan have been known for being funny and fun, and the word on the street is they are both great to work with and provide a really relaxed atmosphere on the sets they are on.

‘Batman V Superman’ Sets Up “Five or Six” Film ‘Justice League’ Story, Says Kevin Smith

‘Batman V Superman’ Sets Up “Five or Six” Film ‘Justice League’ Story, Says Kevin Smith
Germain Lussier – /Film

He’s friends with Ben Affleck, he’s got a Batman podcast and now writer/director Kevin Smith is quickly becoming fandom’s number-one source for Batman v Superman news. Recently on one of Smith’s podcasts, the director commented on the color of Ben Affleck’s Batsuit in Zack Snyder’s 2016 release, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now, Smith revealed a bit more about the film and the recent revelation of the title.

Smith criticizes the title but says it makes sense because, as he understand it, the film isn’t a Man of Steel sequel any more. Instead it’s the beginning of a five- or…

Understanding The Timeline of ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’

Understanding The Timeline of ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’
Darren Franich — Entertainment Weekly

Let’s get two things out of the way here: I really liked X-Men: Days of Future Past. And I have complicated feelings about the X-Men movies, but one thing that doesn’t bother me is their screwy internal chronology. I am not a a continuity pedant; the fact that X-Men: First Class directly overrules several parts of X-Men 1 doesn’t lessen my enjoyment of either of them.

So what follows is not meant to nitpick the plot of Future Past. Rather, this is an inquisition, an attempt to seriously understand what the space-time continuum really looks like after it has been twisted into fifty…

X-Men: Days of Future Past — Review

4 of 5 stars
X-Men: Days of Future Past

Mutation. It is the key to this franchise’s evolution. Normally this process is slow, taking dozens of films, but every once in a while, a franchise’s mutation takes a giant leap forward.

Yeah yeah, so I couldn’t resist putting my own spin on the Xavier monologue, but really, the franchise had to mutate after the third film. Where do you go when the franchise has been so utterly driven into the ground?

A History Lesson

Bryan Singer made two fantastic X-Men films, but then was not available on the timetable the studio wanted for the third so they brought in Brett Ratner.

His film, X-Men:…

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Post-Credits Scene Explained

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Post-Credits Scene Explained
Russ Fischer — /Film

It is standard procedure for a comic book movie to end with a post-credits scene that points toward the next film to come. Once the full credits roll has gone by at the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past, there’s a big one. But the scene doesn’t feature anyone that casual audiences are likely to recognize, and it isn’t set in a location that is familiar to the X-Men films. So what’s it all about? We’ve got the Days of Future Past post-credits scene explained below. (Consequently, full spoilers for Days of Future Past are after the break.)

To recap, once the film’s credits end, the screen…

Alfonso Cuarón Won’t Direct ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’

Alfonso Cuarón Won’t Direct ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’
Germain Lussier – /Film

Speaking to a Spanish news agency named EFE (via Digital Spy), Cuarón said the following about the rumor:

[Directing Prisoner of Azkaban] was a very beautiful experience for me. I have a lot of love for that universe and I tremendously admire JK Rowling, but today, for the present, projects based around lots of visual effects don’t attract me. I’m coming out of a five-year process of doing visual effects and now I sort of want to clean my palate of that a little bit.

Considering Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will surely be very effects heavy, that pretty much means Cuarón is…
