I’m having a hard time not looking forward to this film even though I kind of think it might not be any good. I mean it is being released in February which tells me the studio has no confidence in it. At the same time, it looks like it might be a mildly diverting little thriller. And it’s starring Liam Neeson. Who’s not up for that?

I hope it’s worth seeing because I have vague plans of seeing it.

The LEGO Movie may be a smash hit as it participated in the capitalist system of film and movies, but that doesn’t matter to this intrepid Fox anchor. As a matter of fact it kind of upsets him because of how anti-capitalistic the film is. I mean, just look at the name of the villain, it’s Lord Business. Therefore, the filmmakers are villainizing business and all of capitalism. Now that’s some deep analysis right there. That’s the sort of stuff that keeps me up at night worrying about what the Hollywood machine will turn out next. Maybe the next movie will feature Lord Capital, then their evil…

Almost no Bothan Spies were injured or killed bringing you this report.

At least, I hope that’s true. No one should get hurt over simply verifying some shooting dates, even on a film as highly anticipated as “Star Wars Episode VII: There’s Still Not A Title”.

Multiple sources now have confirmed for us that “Star Wars Episode VII” is set to start shooting mid-May and will run through September of this year, and most principal casting on the film is complete, with many announcements still to come. While Abrams had mentioned May during the TCA press tour and there had been speculation about…

Back when I was a kid — geeze, listen to me, don’t I sound old? Anyway…

When I was a kid I loved to play with my LEGOs. I built so many things with LEGOs that I couldn’t possibly remember them all. The thing that I almost always had built and never took apart was a construction that crudely resembled the (original) Starship Enterprise, but that’s another story. I will tell you that in the mid to late ‘80s and early to mid ‘90s, we didn’t have all these fancy LEGO contraptions that “kids these days” have. We had generic LEGO men, and we had bricks of differing colors and differing sizes and…

There’s not really a lot new going on here in this trailer, just a lot of re-shuffling of images we’ve already seen — and maybe a little bit more footage of what appears to be our big bad guy for this installment. But it’s certainly cut together in a way to make us even more suspcious about who’s going to bite the dust in this film. Could it be possible that they’re killing off a very expensive actor’s character. But then, are we really going to fall for that when we thought for sure they were going to do it in Thor: The Dark World with *[SPOILER] (see bottom for name) and that turned out not…

Everything is awesome for the team behind The Lego Movie (Cinema Score: A). The 3D animated extravaganza is estimated to have earned a spectacular $69.11 million this weekend — the biggest opening of the still young year, and the second largest February opening ever (the top spot belongs to 2004′s Passion of the Christ). The Phil Lord and Christopher Miller movie blew past studio and analyst predictions, which had the pic in the $40 to $55 million range. Playing in 3,775 theaters, most of which were in 3D, Lego scored an incredible $18,307 per location average, and, including overseas…

Sources touched on the fact that Hoffman still had one major scene left to film in Mockingjay, Part 2, and that certain filmmaking tricks would have to be employed to complete the movie. Today, yet another version of that story is circulating, with The NY Post becoming the first outlet to confirm that the filmmakers will “digitally recreate” Hoffman in this pivotal scene. As was reported earlier, none of this will affect the release date of either Mockingjay film. Part one is due in theaters on Nov. 21.

At the risk of sounding insensitive, of course Hoffman is going to have to be recreated…

Yes, no, maybe: those are the three answers Will Smith has given to 20th Century Fox about returning for “Independence Day 2” aka “ID Forever” over the past few years. But now it seems he’s made up his mind. Almost.

Deadline reports that Smith won’t be starring in the sequel that is set for a 2016 release, but they add that they were “told not to set this in stone, because Smith has been back and forth before on whether to make the movie.” That said, they do believe he’ll be letting director Roland Emmerich know shortly that he won’t be coming back. But this is why you always plan ahead.…

If you’re like me, you’re not really into comic books that much. I mean I had a few when I was a kid but I never got into them. And I’m not into them now. But I’m really into comic book movies. Weird, right?

Well in any event, just because I’ve never been into the comic books doesn’t mean I’m not interested in a little history lesson. In this video form from Scott Collura of IGN, the information is fun and easily digestible. I enjoyed it a lot and I thought you all might as well.

X-Men: Days of Future Past will be premiering on May 23 so go ahead and watch and get up to speed on what’s…
