Once upon a time, James Wan was a guy who only made small-budget scary movies (see Saw, The Conjuring, Insidious, etc). And then came Furious 7. Now the only thing scary about James Wan’s filmography is just how much damn money he’s going to bring in at the box office. Especially since his next two major directing gigs could potentially …
Think of movie spies and you probably immediately think of a dashingly handsome fellow in an immaculate suit, with a roguish smile and a tricked-out supercar, ready to serve/bed the world one cold-hearted pun at a time. What you don’t think of, is a foul-mouthed Melissa McCarthy on a Vespa. And yet, that’s exactly what you’re getting this week in …
Remember the movie that smashed Tom Cruise’s rather awesome Edge of Tomorrow in its opening weekend? No? Well you should feel shame then! The Fault in our Stars had an incredible impact on those who read the John Green novel (mostly females under the age of 25) so it was not surprising that the movie adaptation was also received so well. From the same author now comes Paper …

It’s hard to believe, but Daniel Craig has been enjoying shaken martinis as James Bond for a while now. Craig took over from Brosnan way back in 2006 with Casino Royale, continuing through to the lukewarm Quantum of Solace and the highly-acclaimed Skyfall. But after the next Bond film, SPECTRE, Craig might be facing an opponent deadlier than the super-secret …
After that disastrous overly dour first trailer, it appears that Marvel have finally realized something about the upcoming Ant-Man: it’s kind of silly. Once they stopped trying to sell the shrinking hero as a serious character, everything about the troubled production suddenly started clicking into place, including that hilarious and greatly improved second trailer. Now a new extended TV spot …
What a difference a successful event series makes. Wait a minute, that’s what we said yesterday about the new 24 event series. Well over at Fox if one event series is good, two is better! As per TVLine, Prison Break will return to the small screen as a limited event series. Which is fitting in a sense as the show was originally …
I really enjoyed the first Ted movie. It was unusually vulgar, the comic timing of Mark Whalberg and his imaginary friend was awesome and it had a teddy getting high. What’s not to like?! The thing about writer/director and voice of Ted, Seth MacFarlane, is that he can hit a home run one time but then also miss one on such epic …
