The character of Jack Ryan, created by Tom Clancy (who passed recently) has appeared prior to “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” and been played by two different actors in three instances, kind of like a domestic James Bond. The first time the character appeared in movies was 1990, in “The Hunt For Red October” and was played Alec Baldwin. […]
“Don Jon,” the directoral debut of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, turned up when I saw “Insidious, Chapter 2.” It looks interesting, though what surprised me most was how buff Gordon-Levitt is looking, especially since at one point he was being considered for Batman (which eventually went to Ben Affleck). Though there’s always Doctor Strange…
I think Marvel Studios “The Avengers” is – so far – the best superhero film ever made. It takes itself seriously enough that it doesn’t come off as silly, yet remembers that this stuff is based on comic books, which were originally geared toward children (though in places like Japan – and to an extent […]
Pictures from James Gunn’s “Guardians Of The Galaxy” have begun to turn up all over the Internets, and despite there being very little evidence to base an opinion (an informed one, at any rate) everyone has begun to chime in about the quality of the film.

I don’t normally post trailers for TV shows, but when those shows involve Marvel properties – or truth be told, anything that interests me – post them I shall! Seeing that this is a teaser trailer you can’t necessarily say that how it reflects on the upcoming series, though it looks pretty good. Though I […]
This trailer has been around for awhile, though I am just getting around to posting it. The reason why is that it seems terribly “Meh,” which shouldn’t be confused with ‘bad’ or uninteresting. It hits all the right notes, but doesn’t do anything that we haven’t seen many times before. I guess what I am […]
Marvel Studios and James Gunn have found their Starlord, and he is Chris Pratt. Most recently he’s starred in “Zero Dark Thirty” as well as “Parks and Recreation” on NBC. I haven’t seen ‘Zero Dark’ and don’t watch “Parks and Recreation,” so I have no idea who this guy is, though after reading on various […]
Here’s the latest teaser trailer from “Iron Man 3,” from the folks at Marvel Studios.
