Does Marvel Studios Have The Vision?

There are rumors that Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch are going to be in ‘Avengers 2,’ though I have to ask why, especially when they’re two of the most uninteresting characters  –  in my not-so-humble opinion – in the Marvel canon. Why don’t they go in another direction, and leave the Maximoffs to Fox (both […]

Nicolas Cage Exorcises The Ghost Rider

It appears that Nicholas Cage has finally come to his senses, and is putting the Ghost Rider behind him.  2007’s original, directed by Mark Steven Johnson, wasn’t terrible, but it made a sophomore mistake, namely that it was pretty tame for a movie about a character that’s possessed by a demon. The original film should […]

‘John Dies At The End’ Review

“Here’s to all the kisses I snatched, and vice versa.” —Fred Chu Think about it for a moment, you’ll get it. One of Marvel Studios’ Phase Two projects is a feature film version of Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts. I still think that Ioan Gruffudd should play Strange, though who should direct?  On […]

What Happened To The Black Panther?

Today has not been my day. The most irritating aspect of which being my attempt to watch Michael Bassett’s “Silent Hill: Revelation” via iTunes. I have no idea why things went all sorts of wonky, but I spent four or five hours from the discomfort of my bed trying to watch the movie. Though what […]

New ‘Iron Man 3’ Poster

I apologize for the earlier title, in which I wrote ‘Trailer’ instead of ‘Poster.’ I have posted before that Tony Stark in “Iron Man 3” is going to spend a bit of time on the Dark Side (which is an interesting turn of phrase considering Disney now owns Lucasfilm), and in the process end up […]

New ‘Man Of Steel’ Poster

Why does this movie not–so far, at any rate–move me?  Maybe it was the first teaser trailer, which reminds me of a fabric softener commercial.  Now we have a poster, courtesy of Superherohype, and I am even less interested.  It has Superman in cuffs, being led who knows where, when you know full well that […]

Jamie Foxx As Electro?

Now this is interesting news!  According to Collider, Jamie Foxx is rumored to be interested in the part of Electro in the sequel of “The Amazing Spider-Man.”  Now keep in mind that his skin color isn’t integral AT ALL to the character.  Despite this being the case, and if it’s confirmed, wait to see all […]

‘Iron Man 3’ Teaser Trailer

Here’s the latest teaser from “Iron Man 3,” and it looks different from those that came before because it seems to hint at dangers not only for Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), but Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) as well.  There’s no hint of the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) though I hope that they avoid putting […]
