The highly successful The Hunger Games story will be coming to an end this November. The franchise has certainly been extremely popular among movie goers and has earned its creators plenty of cash along the way. I have enjoyed the journey so far and am really looking forward to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 and with the imminent …
Another year, another opportunity for Jennifer Lawrence and David O. Russell to make a new addition to their burgeoning Oscar statue trophy case. The actress and filmmaker have teamed up twice before on Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, with both times resulting in awards gold. Now they’re trying to make it 3 for 3 with Joy aka that movie …
Yesterday, we got the first trailer to the latest installment in the Divergent series, the upstart challenger to the dystopian YA adaptation crown. Except, it wasn’t so much a trailer as it was a recap of the movies that came before. Pretty lame, right? Well, not to fear, because the undisputed YA champion is here to show you how things …
Were you not a fan of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1‘s change of gear from the previous installment in the franchise? Did you want a bit more Hunger Games-y action and less lessons on how to shoot bad TV ads? Well, then you’ll be happy to know that the final chapter (for now) in the Hunger Games saga is …
Hey! It’s that time of the week again! No, not Adventure Time. It is however, time to gloss over some low-resolution scans from the Entertainment Weekly magazine, that are all geared towards the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse.

Russell, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper have teamed up twice now already for American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook, and both times resulted in some serious silverware for all parties involved. So while I’m not much of a betting man, I’d bet dollars to donuts that they should probably start making some new space on their awards …
Besides for that fanboy-tastic Batman v Superman trailer, the other big franchise trailer that saw heroes facing off against each other and totally brought the house down in Comic-Con’s Hall H was Fox’s footage for X-Men: Apocalypse. It technically wasn’t an actual trailer, but merely a collection of scenes they’ve already shot in the movie’s current 5-weeks of shooting, which …
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 was essentially half a good movie. How you take that sentence will depend entirely on what you thought of it – either only half of the movie was good, or it was a good movie but clearly only the first half of a story. I fell into the second camp, which is why …
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
