I can’t say I’m all that excited for this film. I finally got around to seeing Rise of the Planet of the Apes and it was fine. And I’m sure this one will be fine. But I am having a hard time seeing how I’m going to like this film as much without a couple of the characters that made the previous film what it was. Yes, Ceaser was a big part of that film, but so was Will Rodman. Why isn’t he in this film. It’s kind of annoying. I understand that this is about the “planet of the apes” but I wanted to follow the human characters too. But it looks like Ceaser is the only character that is… Read The Rest

Press screenings for X-Men: Days of Future Past took place this week in preparation for the upcoming junket, and now, the first reactions have emerged via Twitter, as they always do. As you’ll see below, there seems to be unanimous praise for the film, with every single Tweet exclaiming how incredible and amazing it is.

Like I said earlier today, a lot of people are saying good things about this film. Cant wait!

WARNING — SPOILERS for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 follow.

The phrase “woman in refrigerator”, coined by future comic book writer Gail Simone 1999, referred to the tendency of comic books to do harm upon the girlfriends, wives, or female siblings of a male hero for the sole purpose of making the hero feel bad and/or seek vengeance. It was named after an incident in a 1994 Green Lantern comic where Kyle Rayner’s girlfriend was murdered and stuffed in a refrigerator. It soon became the de-facto phrase for the pattern in comic books by which the female supporting character in a male-centric title…

We’re getting close now. Just a couple more weeks and we’ll finally get to see this film that looks like it’s going to be wonderful!

There’s also starting to be some buzz from critics and pre-screenings that it’s as great a film as it looks. And I couldn’t be more excited to see the franchise back in good hands under Bryan Singer.

To keep your hopes up, here’s the clip I promised in the headline.

Apparently Hollywood has milked every single Seventies and Eighties property they can and now they’re on to the Nineties. Lionsgate has just announced they’ll be rebooting the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for the big screen.

Do. Not. Want!

Because Will Ferrell had such a successful time adapting “Land Of the Lost,” he’s now teaming up with buddy Adam McKay to (exec) produce a new animated version of “The Flintstones.”

To be fair, Ferrell didn’t produce or help develop “Land Of The Lost,” but that stone-age comedy was slapped with a PG-13 rating and bombed hard back in 2009. And now “The Flintstones” seems to be headed towards a PG-rating.

A full-length animated feature, THR reports that Ferrell and McKay are executive producing a version of “The Flintstones” for Warner Bros. via their Gary Sanchez shingle. The project is…

Goodness, someone needs to tell Disney that they’re being a little bit disrespectful of their prospective audience at this point. It’s like, “we don’t think you’ve been getting the message we’ve been sending so let us explain it all to you like your a 5 year old kid.

This is the first trailer or TV spot from this film that I have not really enjoyed.

Since I am in a very small minority of a minority on the opinion I’m about to sling out there, I’m trying to figure out how to put this delicately. Oh, that’s right, I don’t care about putting it delicately. I did not like The Amazing Spider-Man. It was an incoherent mess of plot ideas and villains strung together in a fashion that made me question the theory of monkeys being able to write the collective works of Shakespeare given enough time. It was an extremely forgettable film that came entirely too soon after a fairly successful franchise that only faltered slightly with it’s third and…

“Come on JJ, there’s no way you can do worse than this!”

“...a man forced to act opposite lifeless CGI characters like Hayden Christensen.”

This is hilarious. And, let’s face it, while Attack of the Clones was a way better film than The Phantom Menace, it still only makes it to like a 2.5 out of 5 stars on my own scale. And every one of the criticisms in this trailer hit way to close to home. Hayden Christensen really can’t act — or at least, he didn’t in the Star Wars series. Natalie Portman can act, but the dialog she was forced to say in these films was beyond bad. And it’s hard to act…
