Blah blah blah before the HIPSTER reboot blah blah blah. I mean, so much YES!

I love Honest Trailers even if they are about films I love. I loved the original Spider-Man trilogy, and yes I even loved the third one even if it wasn’t quite up to the same level. But pointing out the flaws or perceived flaws is fun.

Just a quick note: at times I’m still trying to figure out both what this site is, and what you guys like about the site. My what to see articles every Friday have pretty much gotten the worst amount of traffic (although they would occasionally spark some interesting and/or frustrating discussion). They take me quite a bit of time to do, and there are other sites that do it better. Indeed the information I use comes from Fandango anyway. And most people probably use an app on their phone to find out what’s playing and what they want to see about five minutes before they do.

So for at least…

Daisy Ridley is a 5-foot-7 jazz singer, dancer and strong swimmer with dark hair, a native London accent, and a few minor television credits she gathered over the past year. She’s in her early 20s, and used to go by @daisyjazz on Twitter — before the account was disabled.

That’s about all we know about the lone “unknown” member of the Star Wars VII cast. Other than that she’s about to become very, very famous.

In the hours after Disney and Lucasfilm’s big casting announcement, Ridley’s acting reel was pulled down from Vimeo. She has no Wikipedia page; no photos on Getty Images (jeez, even 

While it’s not entirely out of the ordinary for someone to pass away at the age of 70, it can still be a pretty sad event and my sympathies go out to his family. We have indeed lost a great actor.

If you want to see just how great we’re talking about here, this video of him acting at a sequence from Who Framed Roger Rabbit with nothing but blue screen around him should give you a pretty good idea of what he was capable of. I just don’t know how he did it.

Bob Hoskins, who is probably most recognizable for his role in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, is dead at 71.

Hoskins typically portrayed salty, man-of-the-people characters. His most recent work was on Snow White and the Huntsman where he played Muir, and in the Neverland TV series where he played the iconic Smee, a role he had previously done in the film Hook.

Hoskins was nominated for an OSCAR for his role as George in the 1986 film<em> Mona Lisa</em> co-starring Robbie Coltrane and Michael Caine. He won both the BAFTA and the Golden Globe that year for the same role.

Well that’s some bummer…

The Star Wars team is thrilled to announce the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII.

Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.

Director J.J. Abrams says, “We are so excited to finally share the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again. We…

My guess is you will want to have a box of tissues very close when you go to watch this one. And if you’re a guy, woe betide you should the secret of your less than manly emotionalism be discovered. At least that’s sure the kind of movie this looks like.

The film is based on the book by John Green and features Shailene Woodly as Hazel and Ansel Englort as Agustus Waters. Hazel and Agustus meet at a cancer support group and the two fall in love. But there’s no way this film is going to end on a super sweet surypy note because Hazel’s cancer is terminal while Augustus’ is in remission. That…

Everybody was talking up a big storm about how cool this looked and so I clicked and I was a little disappointed. But you know, it’s about a film I’m greatly looking forward to so I thought I’d go ahead and share it with the rest of you movie geeks. It’s not like we don’t already know who Wolverine is or anything, but you might be able to glean a few tidbits from this little piece.

Things got a little crazy and I had to take some time off from the podcast. But we’ll be back tonight with Michael Minkoff and Mikey Fissel to talk about Darren Aronofsky’s lateset film, Noah. I believe we’ll get some great conversation going with both of these fellas on the podcast with me as they each approach things from differing worldviews, but where we are all three Christians. We should have some great things to discuss.

I anticipate the podcast being out and available for your downloading and listening pleasure Wednesday morning so stay tuned!
