The maiden voyage of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness was successful enough over the weekend to ground Iron Man 3 and prevent the Marvel giant from becoming the first movie of the year to three-peat atop the domestic box office. Honored as our most anticipated movie of 2013, the twelfth film of the iconic sci-fi franchise opened last Thursday and has bea... Read More »

In space, no one can hear you scream. Okay, there probably won't be any aliens in Alfonso Cuarón's upcoming sci-fi thriller, but from the looks of the first teaser trailer below, Gravity promises to be breathtaking nevertheless. And just imagine what it looks like in 3D! (You can find out for yourself during the previews before most prints of The Great Gats... Read More »

After launching with the second highest opening ever at the domestic box office, Iron Man 3 still had plenty of power left for a resounding repeat win over the surprisingly strong debut of The Great Gatsby during the Mother's Day weekend.

With anything Marvel making millions (if not billions) of dollars, ABC has just picked up Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and given the green light for the fall television season. The show will star Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson, returning from the dead, or at least pretend dead -- whatever lame excuse they're using -- and will give viewers a weekly look at t... Read More »

The summer blockbuster season began with a huge blast as Iron Man 3 launched with the second highest debut ever at the domestic box office. Who beat Iron Man? Well, technically he did last year when The Avengers shattered and set records on its way to becoming the biggest blockbuster of all time and one of the best movies of 2012. And what would a Marvel ... Read More »

Ready for round two? Cuz here we go again. Another loud bulletstorm pitting one man versus terrorists that take over the President's home. In case you were ever unsure what "Olympus" was code for, White House Down further simplifies the premise with a title that tells you exactly what's in store. We've often complained about Hollywood running out of ideas, s... Read More »

There was just enough Pain & Gain to keep Tom Cruise at bay and prevent Oblivion from repeating.

As the summer movie season begins to heat up, Marvel has just released the debut trailer for the Thor sequel featuring Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as the hammer-slinging god of thunder from down under. With Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Kat Dennings, and even Tom Hiddleston (Loki) returning and getting his Joker on (1:35), The Dark Worl... Read More »

It's clear that Hollywood is almost completely out of new ideas. With the well starting to dry up, anything different is a welcome change and good excuse to plunk down fifteen dollars a ticket to see a movie while it's still new in theaters. Enter R.I.P.D that seems like a very interesting new idea: A recently killed young cop joins a team of undead polic... Read More »

Aside for host Rebel Wilson referring to HBO's hit series Game of Thrones as "Dragons & Titties", the only good worthy thing to come out of MTV's annual self-suckling sh!tshow disguised as a celebration of pop-culture and film (aka the MTV Movie Awards) over the weekend was the debut of the first teaser trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, an hon...

After easily resisting Temptation and rejecting The Host in its opening weekend, G.I. Joe: Retaliation was shot down by the Evil Dead remake and narrowly missed a chance for a repeat win at the weekend domestic box office. Last week I expected that the G.I. Joe sequel, an honorable mention for one of our most anticipated movies of 2013 now armed with 3D afte... Read More »

Sorry, Deadpool fans, but it's really no surprise that we'd get another Wolverine movie before a Deadpool one. The first set of trailers for Marvel spin-off The Wolverine has confirmed what one of the multiple post-credits extra scenes of X-Men Origins: Wolverine indicated: the next time moviegoers see Logan on the big screen, he'll probably be in Japan.
