It’s soon going to be…that time of the year again. Now make no mistake, Christmas is awesome. You’ve got one day every year that’s a guilt-free reason to binge on food, snacks and warm drinks. Plus, you get presents, which hopefully aren’t crap. The dark flipside to this silly season however, is that you’ve also got to deal with festive movies. …
Yes, the forehead tattoos and Bond villain-like grill is a bit much, but I’ll be damned if I’m not really excited to see Oscar-winner Jared Leto’s take on the Joker in writer/director David Ayer’s upcoming Suicide Squad.

Civil War! Good god y’all! What is it good for? Absolutely dazzling displays of Stark technology going up against the might of the Super Soldier serum!

THEY’RE THE WORST, is what I’m saying, and I wish whoever came up with the idea gets tossed into the sun. …
So I watched Hitman: Agent 47 last night. While you’ll have to wait till next week for my full review (stupid review embargoes!) I will tell you now already that it is NOT the fabled great video game adaptation that we’ve been waiting for ever since we first knew what a video game adaptation is. There’s still hope though that …
They say that one man’s trash can be another man’s treasure. Today though, it’s just the latest movie from three-time Oscar-nominated British director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours, The Reader). We first covered the trailer for Trash almost exactly a year ago, but for some reason the Brazil-set drama/thriller has been sitting on the shelf ever since. It’s unclear …
