Anybody else getting more and more excited for this one? I feel like I’m going to be let down just because I’m so high on the hype, not because the film is or will be bad.

this trailer gives us several more glimpses of what is to come. While earlier trailers focused much more on earth and the leaving of earth, this trailer shows us that probably at least half the movie takes place off of the planet earth. The story of our primary protagonist, Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) appears to be a compelling one. For instance, if you had to choose between your family and a dying planet, or piloting a…

Anthony Pascale over at TrekMovie.com (this is the part where I pat myself on the back and call Anthony a friend of the site and say he’s been on The MovieByte Podcast more than once, because, you know, REASONS!) has been reporting on some news and basically what amounts to confirmation from William Shatner himself that at least at this early stage it looks like Shatner will be in the film presumably playing Captain Kirk in some form or fashion.

Today at his panel at Nashville Wizard World Comic Con, William Shatner talked about the recent rumor about a role for him in the…

It’s a day for trailers here on MovieByte. Now up for your consideration: Big Hero 6. This is certainly our biggest and most expansive look at the upcoming film. Little wonder since we’re sneaking up on the November 7th release date. And it’s looking pretty fantastic. It’s the story of a kid and his robot, and a bunch of nerds fighting a super villain, what’s not to like?

This marks the first collaboration between Disney animation and Marvel Studios. Sure, Disney technically owns Marvel, but they’ve maintained Marvel as a seperate and independent entity so this cooperation is the…

So, speaking of sci-fi…

Call me a sucker for it, call me silly, insane, whatever, but I still think this film looks really good. I know there are a lot of warning signs, I know it looks just a little too slick, I know that there was a reason it was moved to a February release date — right off of prime real estate — but I think it looks fantastic.

The Wachowskis have been pretty hit or miss for my part. While The Matrix holds a very special place near and dear to my heart, the follow up films in that franchise were not up to that first film’s genius. And please don’t even get me started…

Ethan Hawke is a temporal agent — or at least he’s playing one in the trailer for the upcoming Predestination.

I do not believe time travel is actually possible — or if it is, it will most certainly not work the way it does in the movies (I mean really, a Delorean?). That said, I’m a pretty notorious nut for sci-fi, and time travel can make for some great sci-fi. And this certainly looks like great stuff. It’s an interesting take in that it has sort of a film noir look to it, but it’s a time travel film. There’s also the idea that I’m sure appeals to all of us on some level, and that is, if…

I sure hope this film is as fantastic as it looks. Sure, it’s completely unrealistic, but it looks just spectacular. Sure, it will be goofy, but my money says there’s a story in there.

Mathew Vaughn is directing, and he’s begun to make quite a name for himself. He does solid work and I think this has the potential to prove his best film yet. Colin firth is, of course, a solid choice, though not necessarily someone you would expect to see in this particular role. But I think he’ll work well.

There’s also Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Caine, and Mark Hamill. Lots to look forward to here.

“This time, no more traveling,” Liam Neeson told USA Today this morning. “If my daughter was ‘taken’ again on a trip, Bryan Mills would have to be certifiably locked up for bad parenting.” Yep, that’s right. They’ve changed the formula of the “Taken” series, with the title being rejigged as “Tak3n.” This time, Mills is the prey after he’s framed for the murder of someone close to him. And since no promotional pics of  Famke Janssen have emerged, maybe it’s her?

I guess we’re going to do this. Please, please, please be better than ‘Taken 2’! That actually shouldn’t be all that hard, right?…

I may be pre-disposed to like this because of my general loathing and hatred for the selfie culture, but I do like this. It’s short and it makes a point. If I ever had the opportunity to talkt o Kirsten Dunst, I honestly have no idea what it would be about, but it sure wouldn’t be to ask her tag me. Maybe I’d chat with her about her role in Spider-Man, or what it was like to do Jumanji with Robin Williams.

This short film, unfortunately, may hit a little bit close to home. Check it out

I have been very busy lately. Very busy. In addition to my day job of web development, which I work roughly eight hours a day, give or take, I also take client work when I can (I have to the freedom to do this with my job). Plus I see at least one movie every week, podcast about it every week, and write various bits and pieces for the site every day — well except I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t really do that on days that I podcast as well. Case in point: today (I’m writing this at 9:15 PM the day before you will be reading this) I got up at five to work three hours on a freelance…
