Two weeks ago Warner Bros./DC Comics got its act together and announced its cinematic counter attack to the success of Marvel’s movies.

The studio announced ten movies stretching out to 2020, including “Batman v Superman” (I think it’s about a Supreme Court case?), “Wonder Woman,” a two-part “Justice League” movie, “The Flash,” and an attempt to repair the damage done by “Green Lantern.”

Today Marvel counterattacked with its own announcement of a movie schedule that stretches out to 2019.

I love being able to link to Jason Snell — who’s writing I have admired for a while — now that’s…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe will grow even bigger than ever before with Phase 3!

At a special event held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige took to the stage to announce the full slate for Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, featuring a mix of fan-favorite characters along with a number of heroes set to make their big screen debut in the coming years.

And while the confirmation of upcoming sequels to the successful Captain America, Thor, Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises would have been enough to send fans into a frenzy of…

This is the extended sequence and trailer that aired (as far as I understand) with Agents of SHIELD last night. The teaser trailer portion that follows the teaser sequence appears to be the same trailer we have already seen — starting right after the Marvel logo in that trailer.

The teaser sequence here is pretty fun. It’s great to see the banter between the Avengers — maybe we can assume that they’ve had some small battle and victory over something. At the very end is when the big bad, or what will be the big bad, shows up. The scene has very much the feel of a Joss Whedon creation and I’m…

Find out all you need to know about ‘Kill The Messenger’! Joe was able to see the film even though it was in limited release, and so he breaks it down for us. TJ was not able to see the film because it was not showing anywhere in Nashville. But Joe fills him and you in. Also don’t miss a lot of discussion about the ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ teaser trailer, TJ’s decision to buy an Amazon Fire Stick, and ‘The Hunger Games; Catching Fire’ on Netflix in time for you to get caught up before the next installment hits theaters.

Interstellar, Inherent Vice, Guardians of the Galaxy… as excited as I was for all those films coming into 2014, the thing I’m still most looking forward to is the Star Wars Episode VII teaser trailer. The problem is, with the film hitting in December 2015, the odds of that trailer coming out this year seem really slim. Some new buzz is circling the Internet, however, that not only says that director J.J. Abrams has already cut a trailer, but that John Williams is writing music for it, and it’ll be out at some point before the end of the year. Is that possible? Below, we’ll present the rumor…

Amazon Fire TV has the baseline triumvirate needed for one of these boxes to work for me:

1. responsive, fast internals (loads high-bitrate 1080p content in a snap)
2. an RF remote
3. an actually-growing, competitive “app channel” marketplace (still missing favorites like Acorn TV and Warner Archive Instant, but they’ll arrive)

Most importantly, it doesn’t stop working after an update (Apple), or suddenly decide it hates Hulu (Apple and Roku), or block content marketplaces that compete with them (like Apple does through “curation”).

If, like me, you’ve become a little disillusioned with…

So, speaking of Benedict Cumberbatch, we’ve got a clip here from his upcoming film, The Imitation Game. The range that Benedict Cumberbatch is able to play in the films that I’ve seen him in is pretty incredible — and yet he still manages to impress me in this clip by playing yet another character so totally unlike any I’ve ever seen him play before.

In The Imitation Game, Cumberbatch is playing the somewhat unsung hero Alan Turning who, in many ways, is really to thank for much of what we consider to be modern day computing. But he was also fairly socially inept and awkward, as evidenced by…

EXCLUSIVE: Marvel has finally found its Doctor Strange. I’m hearing Benedict Cumberbatch is the studio’s choice for the superhero pic, and negotiations are about to begin. The news comes after talks with Joaquin Phoenix around the time of Comic-Con went south, and Marvel went back to the drawing board. With names like Jared Leto and Tom Hardy also in the mix, this is obviously a coveted role. I expect this deal to make.

Great. Cumberbatch and Marvel! This should be amazing.

Now, just who the heck is Dr. Strange?

The trailer premiere for Avengers: Age of Ultron was originally set to take place during the October 28 episode of Agents of SHIELD. A bootleg leak of the trailer changed that, and Marvel was smart enough to respond to the leak with an official trailer release. So what does that mean for next week’s episode of SHIELD?

Despite the fact that the show’s second season is improved from the first, I saw a few jokes about millions of people deleting the episode from their DVR once the trailer leaked. Marvel doesn’t want that to happen, and will show some new Age of Ultron footage during the show…
