‘The Avengers’ Opening Credits Buffy Style

‘The Avengers’ Opening Credits Buffy Style

This is simply awesome! Though I must admit that there’s something a little bit off about the pacing of the cuts, things don’t seem to have the snap and pizzaz that the Buffy credits did, this is still really fun to watch and think about how a TV show of The Avengers would work with Whedon at the helm.

Actually, now that I think about it… YES PLEASE!

 

Fringe Swan Song ‘Is About Family, Emotion’

Fringe Swan Song ‘Is About Family, Emotion’
TV Line

With Fringe being Fringe – that is, a sci-fi drama that has proven over and over again that everything is possible — showrunner J.H. Wyman has at his disposal, entering the final season, any number of super-cool storytelling devices in his toolbox.

Yet what he most wants to play with is the characters’ — and thus viewers’ — emotions, as the Fox series unspools its last13 episodes.

“I realized this is not a season for tricks and multiple universes, new introductions of things,” Wyman tells TVLine. “So I had to do some soul-searching and say, ‘What would I like? What would I want,…

‘Looper’ Photos

Today we have 18 new high resolution photos from director Rian Johnson‘s latest science-fiction thriller movie Looper, starring Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emily Blunt, Piper Perabo, Paul Dano, and Jeff Daniels.

In the film, time travel will be invented – but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a “Looper” – a hired gun, like Joe (Gordon-Levitt) – is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good… until the day the mob decides to “close the loop,”…

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ to Include Patrick Stewart?

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ to Include Patrick Stewart?
Screen Crush

‘X-Men’ fans revolted when our beloved Professor X was obliterated in front of our eyes by the Phoenix in ‘X-Men: The Last Stand.’ Although 20th Century Fox is entitled to completely change the comic book story line, the way in which Xavier met his end was unbecoming of his legacy.

Agreed. But must we really be reminded of that wretched third film that so completely ruined the franchise?

However, there’s been some talk as of late suggesting that we haven’t seen the last of Sir Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier in the ‘X-Men‘ franchise just yet. And now, we know for sure…

Weekend Humor - ‘The Avengers’ Honest Trailer

Weekend Humor - ‘The Avengers’ Honest Trailer

A little humor for your weekend.

Since this seems to be the week of The Avengers on MovieByte, we’ll share with you Screenjunkies’ Honest Trailer for The Avengers. I’m not so far gone in my love for this film that I can’t get some great laughs out of this one.

Please do be aware that as with much humor of this type on the Internet, there is some mildly inappropriate humor towards the end.

Enjoy.

If you don’t mind a little crass humor, the Honest Trailers series from Screenjunkies is pretty awesome. You will find yourself laughing along even if you love the film they’re making fun…

How Time Travel Works

How Time Travel Works

Did you ever wonder how Time Travel works? Surely with Looper being out in Theaters now you need a primer.

Well I’m not actually sure this video will really help explain things, but it is pretty a fun mashup. It uses clips from just about every popular film that includes time travel. Film clips in this video include “Primer,” “12 Monkeys,” “The Terminator,” “Timecrimes,” and more.

Time travel films are fraught with peril!

Check out these completely new set photos from the upcoming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire movie! This time all eyes on Donald Sutherland a.k.a. President Snow, who definitely rocks! Sutherland was spotted filming a scene on the set of Francis Lawrence‘s film in Atlanta, Georgia, on Monday.

I have high hopes for this film, which means it is surely doomed. But we’ll see.

‘The Hobbit’ and HFR

‘The Hobbit’ and HFR

I missed linking to this piece below last week during actual Tolkien Week but it’s worth talking about so I decided to make a little article out of it. I don’t mind talking about the HFR controversy.

Advent Filmmakers:

But Peter Jackson’s decision to use HFR (high frame rate) cinematography on this production has cause no little stir in the cinematic community. Some are lauding it as the next great step out of the dark ages, while others are decrying its “television-like” quality, and still others are wondering if his experiment will go the way of similar experiments in the 70s (if you…
