The first trailer I saw for this film had a particularly sort of almost indy quality about it. I’m not sensing that in this trailer.

I’m still undecided about whether I think this film will be any good or whether it’s just going to have a lot of blood guts and gore and not a really good story behind it. They certainly want us to think they’ve got a good story, and maybe there’s one there. But it’s definitely going to be violent. It does have quite the cast: Christian Bale, Zoe Saldana, Woody Harrelson, and Willem Dafoe. Ridley Scott is also producing (though he just turned out a stinker with…

Who is Disney’s most evil villain? I’m sure I don’t know (Ursala comes to mind though), but Maleficent is probably way up there. And certainly, even just looking at her silhouette brings a chill to one’s spine.

That being said, I’m not sure if I needed a live action version of Maleficent on the big screen. But we’re going to get one anyway. And it looks like Angelina Jolie is up to the task. Granted we didn’t get much of a look at her, but she certainly seems to fit the role.

Here’s the synopsis and trailer:

“Maleficent,” the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 1959…

In an article released by The Hollywood Reporter earlier this fall titled “Summer Box Office Fallout: Studios’ New Fear of the $200 Million Tentpole” there was a little bit about Trek 3′s (and the previous Trek movie’s) production costs.

Paramount also will look to save money on another Star Trek — a franchise, but not quite in the top tier. This summer’s $190 million production Star Trek Into Darkness has earned over $462 million worldwide; its international haul has exceeded expectations at $234 million, but domestically, its $228.5 million hasn’t matched the first film. Whereas…

Back in October, I travelled to London to do interviews for the current #1 movie in the world, Thor: The Dark World. Since then, we’re run a bunch of quotes from my interviews, but now that the film is out, we’re going to run all the interviews in full over the next three days. Here you can read about all the spoiler discussion in context, as well as more specific questions related to the film and some stuff about upcoming projects and superhero movies in general too.

Below you can read my full interview with Loki himself, Tom Hiddleston. 

NOTE: THE INTERVIEW FEATURES SPOILERS FOR THOR:…

YES! I’ve been waiting for this for what seems like my whole life — or at least since I got out of the theater from seeing this horrible travesty of a film. This film was such a horrible train wreck that I don’t even need to put my normal caveats in place about how while I enjoyed the honest trailer I still lliked the film. No, I think Man of Steel pretty much deserves every one of these jabs and more.

This may be the most fun I’ve had with one of these yet.

Am I truly desperate? Not really. Am I mad? Possbily. But I liked Thor: The Dark World quite a lot. The film is not without its share of flaws which I shall address, but this film certainly manages to strike a much better note than did it’s predecessor, simply titled Thor. However few critics seem to keep my company on this opinion — well, at least few share my opinion that Thor was not a great film. Indeed, the Tomatometer for Thor sits at 77% while the Tomatometer for Thor: The Dark World sits at only 65% as of this writing.

In short, Thor has been busy restoring order to the nine…

There’s a shortage of perfect films in this world. It would be a pity to damage this one. If you ask anyone with a beating heart, they’ll tell you that Rob Reiner’s 1987 confection, The Princess Bride, is without blemish. (Well, except for that Knopfler song.) The film, of course, is based on William Goldman’s outstanding novel of the same name but I think this is a rare instance where the movie surpasses book. The film strikes the perfect balance of silly, snarky, sappy and utterly charming. It achieves such a rare harmony and though many subsequent films have tried to recapture it, all…

Firstly, Lex Luthor was basically confirmed as the villain for the “Man Of Steel” followup, which everyone sorta figured anyway. Of course, the character had been rumored to make a brief appearance in “Man Of Steel” (which obviously didn’t happen) while the trailer and movie had a few nods to LexCorp if you kept your eyes open and on the look for them. “At its core, Superman is an alien. He comes from an alien world … Lex loves to call him an alien,” Zack Snyder said, to which host Smith countered, “That’s a spoiler, folks.”

 Not that I care too much, but I figured you guys might. I’m not…

We’re obviously going into spoilers here so please be aware!

This article contains major spoilers for Thor: The Dark World.

One of the best things about Thor: The Dark World is it leaves many intriguing unanswered questions. The biggest one involves the ripple effect of the mid-credits scene, which we’ll discuss shortly. But there’s also the fate of Loki. As you know if you’ve seen the film, there’s no real definitive answer as to Loki’s intentions at the end. To get an answer, I went to the source (or sources): Tom Hiddleston, director Alan Taylor and Marvel President Kevin Feige. I asked…
