PRESS RELEASE: MediaStinger Launches the First and Only Free Movie and Video Game After Credits App with News, Reviews, and Trailers on Apple’s iTunes App Store.

LOS ANGELES (May 17, 2013) — MediaStinger (www.mediastinger.com) today proudly announces the release of its free mobile app, MediaStinger, available for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

“‘Oh man! Did you see that extra scene after the credits? It was great!’ Ever heard those words in the lobby after you’d walked out before the credits finished rolling? MediaStinger helps avoid that sort of disappointment.” -Lifehacker.com

Most moviegoers leave the theater as soon as the credits pop up, but they find out later that they missed an extra scene after the credits. Since the 1960s, it’s become more and more common to discover these “stingers”: additional scenes, gags, bloopers, and bonus footage during and after the credits. Some of these popular clips reward audiences with juicy things to talk about, like hints regarding upcoming sequels (just watch almost any Marvel movie!). The hot trend even has some video games adding entire extra levels for patient players that wait out the credits.

MediaStinger is an amazing comprehensive database that allows users to easily and quickly view whether thousands of movies and video games have extras during and after the credits. Users can also find out exactly what happens during stingers, rate stingers, discover songs that play during the credits, read news and reviews, watch HD trailers, and share their thoughts with other commenters. This mobile app is absolutely free and mirrors the service that the database website has already provided to millions of the burgeoning entertainment community.

“As our database grows daily, we’ve continued to evolve as well to meet the demands of users worldwide,” says Paul Curtin, founder of MediaStinger.com. “With this new free app, which coincides with the website’s design update, it’s even easier to access credits info on the go and in the theater, something we’ve envisioned since the beginning.”

During the Credits

The first two minutes of the credits of Star Trek Into Darkness move through 3D scenes of the galaxy with typical J.J. Abrams’ lens flare and a palette of different colors. This is followed by a dedication to post-9/11 veterans, and there are no other extras during the rest of the credits.

After the Credits

There is no stinger after the credits of Star Trek Into Darkness.

Special thanks to Dominic Kwaczynski for the stinger submission!

Logically, we honored Star Trek Into Darkness as THE most anticipated movie of the year; fortunately, the sequel lives up to the hype. The twelfth film of the iconic sci-fi series falls a bit short of its predecessor, but Star Trek Into Darkness is still a summer blast that stuns and kills. I know that it was less than a week ago when I proclaimed that the dazzling 3D in The Great Gatsby was among the best that I had ever seen in a live action movie, but I definitely have to repeat myself here regarding the immersive extra dimension of Into Darkness. From the very beginning in the explosive prologue, the 3D carries on strikingly at a high caliber, especially during the fantastic action sequences, along with the consistently engaging story. Like in The Avengers last year, the Star Trek sequel’s post-converted 3D shows off how much more advanced the improved technology has become.

Into Darkness continues to explore the characters of and the friendship between the reckless I-do-what-I-want Kirk and the logical by-the-book Spock, played well by Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, respectively. Their performances stand out above those of the rest of the Enterprise crew, which includes supporting turns by Karl Urban, John Cho, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, and Anton Yelchin. Saldana is probably given the most opportunity to make an impact with her screen time, but for the most part, the focus of Into Darkness is clearly away from the crew, resulting in a considerable decrease in their development and Pegg’s quips. Alice Eve and original Robocop Peter Weller also co-star as Starfleet members.

Alfred Hitchcock’s assertion that “the more successful the villain, the more successful the picture” sums up one of my biggest problems with Abrams’ previous movie, Super 8 (and its contrived conclusion), and one of my biggest praises with Abrams’ current film. As one of the most memorable and conniving villains in recent cinema, Benedict Cumberbatch outshines both Pine and Quinto. His delightfully devilish display as an ex-Starfleeter-turned-terrorist may not be at Heath Ledger’s Joker level, but it’s reminiscent of Javier Bardem’s performance in Skyfall. We want MORE! We want MORE!

The only gripe I have with Star Trek Into Darkness is that the trailers have already included much of the key dialogue, dramatic moments, high-flying stunts, and action thrills. Thankfully, despite this very minor grievance, the biggest secrets remain unrevealed, and the film itself remains immensely entertaining. Director J.J. Abrams’ previous project was lauded as our Best Sci-Fi Movie of 2011 and one of the year’s best overall, and Star Trek Into Darkness certainly warp speeds into similar consideration for 2013 (your move, Elysium). The big question is now that it’s revisited excellence after a flawless maiden voyage, where does the franchise go now? Or more precisely, when? The possibilities are both infinite and intriguing, but how involved will Abrams be in future Star Trek adventures as he’s off to direct the the first episode of the Mouse House’s Star Wars trilogy? Any way he’ll orchestrate a crazier collision of universes and galaxies? Probably not, as millions of nerds would riot and/or implode, but in the meantime, the only logical thing to do is to check out Star Trek Into Darkness in theaters with 3D and in IMAX if possible.

Star Trek Into Darkness gets 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Pacific Rim is set to hit theaters on July 12, 2013. Check out the official trailer and description below:

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Written by Alfonso Cuarón and his son, Gravity is also co-edited, co-produced, and directed by the three-time Oscar nominee. If it’s anything like his last movie, Children of Men, we can expect a profound take on humanity along with some incredible cinematography. Hopefully, we’ll be wowed by some more awesome single-shot sequences, but how can Cuarón come up with some convincing ones in the setting of space without obvious CGI?

With a reported budget of $80 million, Gravity stars George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, both of whom are Oscar and Golden Globe winners.

Gravity is set for release in 3D on October 4, 2013.

With over $50 million, The Great Gatsby‘s runner-up finish is the third highest ever for a movie opening in second place. Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of what many consider the greatest American novel can now add “third best second place” to its short list of achievements, along with beating the $37 million debut of its fictional Martin Scorsese-directed counterpart in Entourage. Well done, old sport!

Slipping from the silver spot to the last podium spot was Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain. In its third weekend, the entertaining action comedy still managed to fend off the other new wide release, Peeples. The Tyler Perry-branded comedy opened weakly and barely edged out Jackie Robinson biopic 42, which rounded out the weekend’s top five (below via BOM).

Next weekend, Iron Man 3 faces its biggest threat at the box office when our most anticipated movie of 2013, Star Trek Into Darkness, hits theaters.

1. Iron Man 3 — Weekend Gross: $72.5 million — Total Gross: $284.9 million (#1 last week)
2. The Great Gatsby — Weekend Gross: $50.1 million — Total Gross: $50.1 million (new)
3. Pain & Gain — Weekend Gross: $5.0 million — Total Gross: $41.6 million (#2 last week)
4. Peeples — Weekend Gross: $4.61 million — Total Gross: $4.61 million (new)
5. 42 — Weekend Gross: $4.59 million — Total Gross: $84.7 million (#3 last week)

Vincent Chase Leonardo DiCaprio plays the titular character, a mysterious and wealthy man whose legendary reputation precedes him. Before we learn more about his water-cooler-fodder background and quixotic obsession, he comes off as a man’s man, short of The Most Interesting Man in the World from those Dos Equis commercials but a charismatic gentleman that any guy would love to have as a friend or ally. Kind of like Leo’s last role in Django Unchained, minus the racism and inhumanity. And with Gatsby’s routine displays of luxury and power, often via extravagant parties at his stunning estate, of course he’s got the ladies swooning over him as well. He’s like the original Chuck Bass for girls suffering from Gossip Girl withdrawal, and he’s the self-made millionaire many men envy or aspire to be.

This is all during the Roaring Twenties, nearly a booming decade of cultural blossoming in which self-indulgent materialism was perhaps the only thing outpacing the economic prosperity and thriving consumerism that preceded the Great Depression. Wait, what is this? A history lesson? Leave it to Baz Luhrmann, an Oscar and Golden Globe nominee for Moulin Rogue!, to bring the time period to life nearly a century later with his dazzling visual style and cinema’s burgeoning 3D trend, normally reserved for animated, action, and horror movies seeking an extra box office boost. The extra dimension is seldom offered in the drama genre, even less frequently for a romance, but it’s implemented perfectly and gorgeously in The Great Gatsby. One of the many highlights of the movie, the engrossing 3D is the best I’ve seen since Life of Pi and among the best ever for a live action movie.

Speaking of perfect, who better to showcase the hedonistic grandeur and ensuing pre-Depression decadence of this golden age than Baz Luhrmann? Maybe Martin Scorsese, but not only has Luhrmann previously infused older classic tales with modern music to great success (Romeo + Juliet, another tragic love story also starring DiCaprio), his flashy showmanship is exactly what Jay Gatsby goes for. In various ways, Gatsby is over the top, and the same can be said about Luhrmann’s stylish presentation. It’s perfect.

Complementing the lavish visuals is a memorable soundtrack, produced by Jay-Z, that often mixes a variety of contemporary music with the Jazz Age of the ’20s. Way to keep the kids interested, Hova! The blatant anachronism is actually quite good, if not just amusing and entertaining. Lurhmann is again directly involved here as well; he co-wrote the Lana Del Rey track that’s used as the stirring theme song of the film’s romance. Together with the visual fireworks, the electrifying score makes the colorful wizardry of Oz look dull.

What’s a feast for the eyes and ears without some great acting to chew on? Golden Globe nominee Tobey Maguire provides the narration and perspective as Nick Carraway, the next-door neighbor of Gatsby. Oscar and Golden Globe nominee Carey Mulligan, last seen in Shame and Drive, plays the ultimate prize that Gatsby pines for, and Joel Edgerton embodies his competition. Leonardo DiCaprio, a Golden Globe winner who’s been Oscar nominated thrice, probably won’t get any awards recognition here even though I didn’t find anything wrong with his performance. But like in Titanic and Inception, he’ll be overshadowed by the attention to visual effects. Better luck next time, old sport.

Beneath the glitz and glam, you’ll find a captivating tale, one of the best of the year so far, that rivals Side Effects and The Place Beyond the Pines. I’d go so far as to say that The Great Gatsby was as much fun as Pain & Gain, another fast and furious film about the American Dream. And as blasphemous as this may be, experiencing Baz Luhrmann’s vision has gotta be more fun than reading the book. For transforming an otherwise Boring Twenties into a cool and accessible time period for the young’uns who might’ve only known proper partying as the insane sh!tshow known as Spring Breakers, Luhrmann’s Gatsby is greater than Great.

The Great Gatsby gets 4.5 out of 5 stars.

It will be interesting to see how much of the actual main Avengers are included in the show and how good the special effects are for a smaller budgeted TV show. Even without the main stars and a smaller budget, the show still looks more promising than most of the crap on network television nowadays. Check out the first official trailer below for an idea of what to expect next from Marvel.

During the Credits

There is a musical number with Wade and the Peeples family shown during the start of the credits. Then after that there is a scene of the Peeples taking a family photo with Wade included in the photo along with silhouette portraits of the Peeples from earlier in the film being shown throughout the rest of the credits.

After the Credits

There is no stinger after the credits of Peeples.
