…but were too afraid to ask.

That’s right, in this video from IGN, we get the speed version of Ultron’s history, which is helpful for people like me who are fans of the movies but not of the comic books.

Obviously, the Ultron we’re going to see in the upcoming Avengers film will not be the Ultron of the comic books, but know a little bit about the history of the character seems like a good thing. Plus, I live the editing and sassy cuts in this video. Check it out:

For the first time, the filmmakers behind the Atlas Shrugged movie trilogy will raise production and marketing money through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.

 

The campaign is scheduled to kick off Monday and is designed to raise $250,000 of the film’s $10 million budget.

Filmmakers also said Monday that the movie has been officially titled, Atlas Shrugged: Who is John Galt?

Yeah… see, I’m not so interested in this film because I like films that are well made. While the second installment was, in my opinion, somewhat better than the first, it still was not great filmmaking. Those…

If, like me, you don’t have cable and get all your shows through Hulu, you’ll be forced to wait a day and avoid as many spoilers for the premiere of Agents of SHIELD as possible (assuming it works the way most other shows work on Hulu).

This may be the only time I regret not having a typical cable subscription.

But in the mean time, we’ll tide ourselves over with this fun video.

As Lucasfilm and the filmmakers behind Episode VII launch their casting efforts for what looks very much like a new actor to play Chewbacca, an amazing amount of support has rushed forth for Peter Mayhew, the actor who originated the role in George Lucas‘ 1977 original.

As we told you earlier in the month, Mayhew isn’t in the best of health right now. Complications arising from his gigantism lead to him being unable to stand up straight or walk unassisted.

But he’s undergone surgery on his knees and legs, and when the whole healing process has been completed, the doctors say that he should…

It’s not surprising to me that Prisoners would take the top spot at the box office this past weekend since it is easily the best new film at the box office. That’s not to say there haven’t been better films at the box office this year, but when you look around at the puny offerings right about now, Prisoners positively glows with goodness.

#1 - Prisoners

Budget: $46 Million
Totals: $20.8 Million, Weekend and Total
Weekend 1

Prisoners is, all things considered, a fairly satisfying drama. That is not to say that the film is without flaws or flawed views, just that it does well in slowly —…

WikiLeaks has posted what it calls a “mature version” of the screenplay to Bill Condon’s Julian Assange film The Fifth Estate, adding that it was “obtained at a late stage during the principal photography of 2013.”

The script was posted last Friday after the film’s world premiere in Toronto, but before its wide theatrical release. Along with it, the site included a 4,000-word essay attempting to discredit the film, which stars Benedict Cumberbatch in the role of WikiLeaks founder Assange, and Daniel Bruhl as ex-WikiLeaks employee Daniel Domscheit-Berg.

In the essay, WikiLeaks describes The…

I can’t say I’m a big fan of Sylvester Stalone, nor Arnold Schwarzenegger. But for whatever reason, this film actually looks like it may have something. I don’t know, call it intuition, or stupidity, I don’t know which. But it feels from what I can tell like there might be a half-way decent plot here that could make this film worth it. I think one of my problems with typical films from either of these guys is that the plots never seem worthy of… well, anything.

In any event, check out this clip, which, granted, doesn’t really prove my point — my feelings on this film come from the other…

“The Last Vampire” chronicles the life of Sita as a character prone not only to great spiritual beliefs and human-like compassion, but also brutal acts of retribution. “She is at once captivating and beguiling, due in part to her personification as a beautiful, intelligent, innocent appearing, contemporary girl — who is in reality a 5000-year-old predator,” Preger said.

You know, because we don’t have enough vampire films in the world right now… 

The Walt Disney Co. has announced that it would not renew its first-look deal with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, bringing an end to a longtime partnership between the Hollywood icons.

The company said it will continue to focus on its branded properties from Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm.

“Jerry is one of the most respected and prolific producers working in the motion picture industry, and we have had an incredibly successful collaboration over the past two decades and he is a friend to many of us here at Disney,” said Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn in a statement. “We will continue…
