This whole “waiting almost six months for Age of Ultron to come out” thing may get a little tedious if Marvel keeps teasing us like this. They have released an extended teaser trailer for Age of Ultron. The tone of it is the same as the first, and indeed, much of the footage, the clips, even the Ultron voice over is the same. The music is the same. But there are subtle differences throughout — new clips and footage we haven’t seen yet, and most importantly, more extended dialog from Ultron at the beginning of the trailer.

I don’t know how I’m going to survive the wait. Check it out…

Insurgent is on its way to us. The critics were fairly hard on Divergent, but I didn’t think it was so bad. It was slightly formulaic at times, but it was a solid film, quite entertaining, and despite some YA formula adherence, it had a couple of surprises up its sleeve. Ultimately I gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The film also made a fair amount of cash. Nothing crazy, but it did well on a budget to gross ratio. Ultimately it brought in $288.7 Million on a budget of $85 Million. That’s not terrible, although I’m sure the producers are hoping they can up their game on that a little with…

Our intrepid podcast explorers are on a journey across the vastness of the movie landscape to see what can be deciphered from Christopher Nolan’s ‘Interstellar’. Is it “stellar” or not so much? On this once in a lifetime quest, TJ and Joe are joined by none other than former co-host of the show, Chad Hopkins, to see if they can discover the true meaning behind podcasting and wether they might even be able to bend the fabric of space time enough to affect what happened all the way back at the very first podcast. You can also find out in the episode about Johnny Rockets bringing back drive-in theaters, Matt Damon returning to the Bourne franchise, ‘Toy Story 4’ happening in 2017, and the new title for ‘Star Wars VII’.

I have a confession to make. I think Christopher Nolan is one of the more highly overrated directors of our time. I know you all probably stopped reading this already, but I have to tell you the truth, I cannot lie to you. Nolan is one of the more celebrated filmmakers of our day, and he does indeed know how to craft a pretty good epic. I’ll also say that his treatment of Batman Begins was nothing short of amazing. It was a breath of fresh air to the franchise, and to the super-hero landscape in general. The Dark Knight was, if anything, better. It’s not the sort of film I can watch quite as…

Johnny Rockets, a chain restaurant whose specialty is heaping nostalgia with a side of burgers, wants you to watch movies like it’s 1959. The company has announced a partnership with USA Drive-ins to open Johnny Rockets drive-throughs with their drive-ins.

BusinessWeek reports USA Drive-ins plans to open 200 drive-in theaters by 2018, many of which will have an accompanying Johnny Rockets drive-through. Moviegoers will be able to either walk up to the counter to get their food, or have it delivered to them in their cars. (“No carhops on roller skates, though,” notes BusinessWeek.) Each…

“Yes, next year,” Damon responded to E! News when asked for clarification. “It’ll be in 2016 when the movie will actually come out. [Director] Paul Greengrass is going to do another one and that’s all I ever said. I just needed him to say yes.”

The plans that have been bandied about were that Damon and Greengrass would do this fifth Bourne film to release sometime in 2016, followed at some point by another Jeremy Renner led spinnoff. Those were unconfirmed reports at least until now. So the Damon and Greengrass part is true at least. I really hope they just drop the whole Aaron…

The Hollywood Reporter shares that Marvel has subpoenaed Google to get the goods on the person they believe was responsible for the trailer leak. The outlet shares:

“The entertainment company says in court documents that someone using the name ‘John Gazelle’ posted a file of the film on a Google Drive account. On October 22, a lawyer at Marvel parent Disney sent Google a takedown notice pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, requesting that Google expeditiously remove the file.But Marvel wants more identifying information about the alleged infringer. The company is going after…

During their earnings call with investors this afternoon, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced “Toy Story 4” will arrive on June 16th, 2017. But perhaps more intriguing is that John Lasseter—now chief creative officer at Pixar,Walt Disney Animation Studios, and DisneyToon Studios (as well asWalt Disney Imagineering)—is going to direct. It will be his first movie since 2011’s “Cars 2,” and will mark a return the franchise after helming “Toy Story” and “Toy Story 2” (Lee Unkrich, who served in various capacities on the earlier “Toy Story” movies, directed “Toy Story 3;” he’s currently at work on the…

Peter Jackson is a great example of a talented filmmaker given to much excess who needs to be reigned in. But right now, he’s king of the hill and he can do whatever the heck he wants. And so he is. One book has become three films — and who knows where on earth this final film is going. Strange places, that’s for sure.

The first two installments of this trilogy have had wildly inconsistent visual styling and CGI work, and if this trailer is any indication, the trend of shoddy CGI, overly clean and high flash value but little substance visuals will continue. It’s quite disappointing, really.…
