Remember that time Joss Whedon made a black & white Shakespeare feature film adaptation while he was busy shooting The Avengers? Well, allow JJ Abrams to show you his bit of onemanupship: Despite the fact that he’s currently busy with one of the biggest and most highly anticipated sci-fi films of all time, he still found the time to collaborate …

Despite reports of my overall magnanimity, I must admit that I’m not exactly fluent in Russian other than toasting for drinks and saying goodnight. Because of this slight oversight, I actually don’t really know what is being said in this first trailer for Viking (brought to my attention by TwitchFilm). But who the hell needs words when your trailer is …

I don’t know a single person who watches Marlon Wayans’ spoof movies. At least nobody who will admit to watching them out in public. But clearly somebody is though, as Hollywood studios keep giving Wayans money to make more despite the films generally being the equivalent of a self-administered cinematic lobotomy.

When it came to magician-heist actioner Now You See Me, the biggest magic trick it pulled off, in my opinion, was making $351 million at the box office. Sure it was flashy and entertaining in places, but it completely underutlized its stellar cast and tried to be too clever for its own good with nudge-nudge, wink-wink plot twists stretching plausibility …

Hollywood does a lot of dumb stuff when it comes to movie sequels, but occasionally they get something right.
