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. There have been several different incarnations of the Joker since he first made his screen debut – Cesar Romano’s goofy cheeseball, Jack Nicholson’s …
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!

For everyone else, you have a choice this week between a drama, another drama, a third drama, a South African drama and a foreign language drama. Wow, fun times all round at …

There’s still hope though that …

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 …
What if Transformers Devastation wasn't just fan service? Developers Platinum Games are making sure that fans of hack and slash action games are catered to above all else.
Derek Zoolander may have been the star of his own movie, which is kind of the reason why it was called Zoolander to begin with, but Hansel was the up and coming young talent that stole the show. Owen Wilson’s rival male model part helped make Zoolander a cult hit, with the blonde guru dispensing such wonderful tidbits of wisdom …
