You have to hand it to Marvel – they really are taking their cinematic seriously, and they do seem to revel in the fact that they have the freedom to expand on their universe at their own discretion. While it is easy to pack the Blu-Ray of one of their films with tons of alluring features, they manage to go …
Hollywood has a habit of pouncing on hot topic current affairs quicker than Darryn jumps on a bar countertop after he’s had a couple tequilas.

It’s not easy keeping a movie plot under wraps these days. Heck, I doubt that George Lucas could have kept The Empire Strikes Back plot twist secret if he had filmed the scene in this age of Twitter accounts and cell phone snooping. Jurassic Park 4 has just as many rumours floating around about what that film could be about. …
Reshoots. Merely mentioning that word immediately conjures up images of a film in trouble that is desperately in need of some story restructuring. It’s something that happened to GI Joe: Retaliation, a move which delayed the film by nine months and did little to improve it. Thor: The Dark World is having reshoots right now. But contrary to that example …
