I’m really enjoying the comic book craze in Hollywood at the moment. I have my fears that they are overdoing it and we will start to get burnt out and inundated with average films, but at the moment, each film and studio is bringing their best into these movies. I’m also enjoying how they are continuing to explore the deeper …
If you ever needed proof of how ridiculously stacked the 2016 movie release calendar is, think on this: Up until this new trailer for Disney’s big budget live-action adaptation of The Jungle Book dropped at yesterday’s Superbowl, I had nearly all but forgot that it was still coming out. And really I shouldn’t have forgot a damn thing about this …
From one big American pastime to another, we go from Superbowl to Independence Day as yesterday’s mammoth sporting event gave us a brand new look at Independence Day: Resurgence thanks to a new TV spot. And this new preview doubles down on both the US flag-waving patriotism and returning franchise director Roland Emmerich’s patented wide-screen big budget destruction porn and …

Check out the trailer below! I repeat: HOLY FREAKING SHIT!!! Captain America: Winter Soldiers‘ …
SUPERBOWL!!! To most of America, that meant watching a two groups of heavily padded roid-bruisers violently slamming into each over a little bit of pigskin yesterday. But for us film geeks though, its basically Movie Trailer Christmas as studios try to cash in on the fact that a large portion of the population is already glued to their screens. And …
Deadpool is an outrageously entertaining, genre-busting piece of gonzo cinema that somehow pulls off that criminally rare Hollywood achievement of actually being more than worth the wait.
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
