I was on the fence about THE WOLVERINE up until now. As much as I want to see a worthy movie that could showcase Hugh Jackman and his love of the character he’s so embodied, I just wasn’t sure THE WOLVERINE was going to be it. But this new trailer might have changed my mind [...]
I can’t help but wonder if Fox is paying or obligating directors James Mangold and Bryan Singer to post images from THE WOLVERINE and X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST on their Facebook and Twitter pages. They seem to be the only two directors that do it consistently and it just so happens that they’re working [...]
Maybe it’s the overly optimistic hope of my inner fanboy, but I’m getting more and more excited for THE WOLVERINE. This new CinemaCon trailer is only a minute long, but it has everything you could want in a Wolverine movie; Hugh Jackman looking awesome, Wolverine fighting ninjas, Wolverine toying with the bad guys and a [...]
Admittedly, this picture is awful. But since we have taken an active role in sharing all of director Bryan Singer’s tweets (the guy is clearly very excited), I thought I might as well share this one as well. After all, Wolverine does seem to be the the majority favorite when it comes to X-Men. So [...]
Bryan Singer loves revealing set pictures on his Twitter feed. He just sent out the first look of Halle Berry returning as Storm in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Obviously, it’s not the best looking picture since it’s coming from his phone. The outfit seems a little different and her hair appears a little different than [...]
I was reviewing a list of most anticipated movies of the summer from a few critics and noticed that Hugh Jackman‘s THE WOLVERINE didn’t show up on any of the lists. Although it’s for sure a small sampling, I found it a little odd and wonder if the overall lack of excitement is shared amongst [...]
It’s still early this morning, but the first official trailer THE WOLVERINE has been released and I’m still trying to decide how I feel about it. I love, love, love that they’re doing something new with the character by dropping into Japan and having him battle new villains, ninjas and crime bosses. But I’m not [...]
We’re getting closer, but still no trailer for THE WOLVERINE. However, these new images do show off more stars in the film other than Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. I’m okay with the image above of Wolverine protecting Mariko (Tao Okamoto), but I’m less thrilled with the images of Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova), mainly because I’m having [...]
One of French actor/writer/director extraordinaire Guillaume Canet’s best films is the thriller TELL NO ONE and that film’s success has attracted a lot of attention for everyone involved, even leading to an American remake that director Ben Affleck is lining up. The novel the movie was based on was written by Harlan Coben and so [...]
Can we get a trailer already? Yes, the film is still over four months away, but Fox has released dozens of promo images and behind the scenes stills that my curiosity for THE WOLVERINE is officially peaked. I’m really digging the darker vibe from these photos and it’s cool seeing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine with [...]
In a recent earnings call, Dreamworks CEO Jeff Katzenberg announced that they were laying off 350 people from their animation department, due mainly to the estimated $85 million the studio lost on RISE OF THE GUARDIANS. Although Dreamworks strung together a slew of average movies that managed to make money (the MADAGASCAR films, HOW TO [...]
Just a few days after the official Twitter account for THE WOLVERINE debuted a new still of Hugh Jackman scowling, director James Mangold took to his Twitter account to show off another image of Hugh Jackman flexing his muscles in a behind the scenes photo. We all knew that Hugh Jackman got completely ripped for [...]
I know I shouldn’t be, especially since I spend all day on the internet, but I’m always surprised when a director or actor debuts a still from their movie on Twitter. It just seems like an odd way to show off your movie, but with the speed things get picked up these days, I guess [...]
You know that problem superhero movies have when they try and add too many characters to a movie and the whole thing seems like too much? I can’t help but shake that feeling with X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Bryan Singer is returning to direct the sequel to X-MEN: FIRST CLASS and basically, he’s combining [...]
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has announced that the critically acclaimed musical adaptation, LES MISERABLES (click the link to read our review) is hitting Blu-ray on March 22nd, 2013. Originally thought to be an Oscar juggernaut, the film has slowed down a bit, giving way to Ben Affleck’s ARGO, but it shouldn’t take away from the [...]
THE WOLVERINE is kind of getting lost in all of this year’s superhero movie sequel talk. We all know about IRON MAN 3 and THOR: THE DARK WORLD because Marvel has been hyping them up pretty consistently the past several months. And although we know about THE WOLVERINE, we haven’t seen a teaser trailer yet [...]
A very random series of skits that will offend you, confuse you, sicken you and make you wonder if perhaps Hollywood is the root of all evil in this world. You’ll be angry you wasted both your money and your time as you try and figure out why these people agreed to participate in this [...]
If you’ve done any amount of research or read up on the Golden Globes, then you know that they’re generally considered a joke, but can still offer some insight into what will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. This has been a strange year for awards circuits with nothing really separating itself from the [...]
One of the big summer films I’m anticipating is THE WOLVERINE starring the ever charming Hugh Jackman. The photo is a little lame since we’ve all seen (but completely appreciate) a good shot of Hugh Jackman’s abs with his claws in the “ready” position, but it’s still a nice reminder of what’s in store for [...]
I was just complaining that DJANGO UNCHAINED released another trailer only four days before the movie is released and here’s LES MISERABLES doing the same thing. This time, they’ve shunned stars Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Russell Crowe in favor of showing off Samantha Barks’ rendition of ‘On My Own’. In my humble opinion, she [...]
LES MISÉRABLES is being hailed as the grand musical experience you won’t want to miss! Unless of course you aren’t into musicals. Then more than likely you can’t be dragged there, regardless of your love for epic filmmaking. Musicals are the ultimate divider. Those who love the musical will find this to be the best movie [...]
Apparently there has been a show called “Russell Crowe And Alan Doyle present the Indoor Garden Party” that has been traveling around New York City this fall season, which has a variety of performances from people like Scott Grimes, Size 2 Shoes, Alan Doyle, Kevin Durand and Samantha Barks (who is Russell Crowe’s co-star in [...]
When Tom Hooper’s LES MISERABLES was shown to critics in LA and NYC, it got standing ovations at every screening. Words like “masterpiece”, “brilliant” and “breath-taking” are just a few of the adjectives used to describe the epic musical. Some odds makers are saying it’s hands down the favorite to win the coveted Best Picture [...]
Big news continues to come in for the upcoming sequel X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Earlier this week we found out from director Bryan Singer that Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen would be reprising their roles as Charles Xavier and Magneto, and now we’re learning that Hugh Jackman will be coming back for a [...]
A new batch of photos have been released for the upcoming comedy MOVIE 43, and though the images look intriguing, it’s going to be almost impossible to tell from the photos what the film is about. However, if you’ve been following news about this film at all then you already know that we’re all in [...]
If you haven’t heard about it yet, the upcoming film MOVIE 43 appears to be quite the production as it is a comedy that is broken down into short mini-films and has a cast of multiple stars including some heavy-hitting A-listers. Today a poster has been released for the film, and though it’s definitely not [...]
Happily, the studio has started to push the film LES MISERABLES hard these past couple of weeks giving us new posters, new trailers and an Anne Hathaway appearance on Saturday Night Live. Today we get a new batch of photos taken by legendary photographer Annie Liebovitz for Vogue magazine. These are really just portraits of [...]
A new trailer has been released for Tom Hooper’s upcoming musical adaptation LES MISERABLES, and though I’m ashamed to say I have not seen the play and am a little ignorant as to what it’s truly about, I’m still excited for it. Even though watching musical performances from Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman get my [...]
Next year audiences will be able to see another installment in the X-Men series with another film focusing on Wolverine (played by Hugh Jackman), cleverly titled THE WOLVERINE. We’ve seen just a few images from the upcoming film, but today we’re getting a new teaser poster that even though it doesn’t show much, is still [...]
A bit of interesting news has popped up this morning as we’re learning that the upcoming X-Men film THE WOLVERINE, starring Hugh Jackman, will not be the prequel we all thought it would be. Turns out the film will be set after the three films in the Bryan Singer trilogy which is an interesting twist. [...]
News from the upcoming film THE WOLVERINE (starring Hugh Jackman as the title character) continues to filter in as we have learned that Famke Janssen, who played Jean Grey/The Phoenix in the X-MEN trilogy, will be making a cameo in the movie. If you are thinking that this sounds a little off since Wolverine actually [...]
Anchor Bay Entertainment and RADiUS-TWC have announced that the political satire comedy BUTTER, from director Jim Field Smith and starring Jennifer Garner, Ty Burrell, Olivia Wilde, Rob Corddry, Ashley Greene, Alicia Silverstone and Hugh Jackman, will be available in a Blu-ray Combo Pack on December 4th, 2012. BUTTER takes place in Iowa, where the butter [...]
Character posters for the upcoming Broadway adaptation LES MISERABLES have been coming out, and today Russell Crowe, who plays the ruthless policeman Javert, has gotten a poster of his own. Since I’m not familiar with this play I can’t really speak much about the character, but the poster itself is rather average. It’s getting a [...]
Jake Gyllenhaal is looking to add another project onto his growing list, this time with a possible re-teaming with director Denis Villeneuve whom he worked with on AN ENEMY. Now he is in talks to star alongside Hugh Jackman and Melissa Leo in the upcoming drama PRISONERS. PRISONERS follows a small town carpenter (Hugh Jackman) [...]
Photos from the set of the upcoming film THE WOLVERINE, starring Hugh Jackman, have been pretty scarce, but today we’re finally getting a first look at the main character and it’s pretty exciting. This shot just shows Hugh Jackman as Wolverine with his claws appropriately displayed, but is it just me or does Hugh Jackman [...]
One of the promotional photos that stands out most this year is the shot of Jennifer Garner carving a car out of butter. For whatever reason this writer found that image completely absurd yet intriguing. Who ever thought to make a film surrounding the politics of butter sculpting? That would be screenwriter Jason A. Micallef [...]
Due to scheduling conflicts over the years Hugh Jackman and director Lee Daniels just haven’t gotten a chance to work together even though they have tried twice before (on SELMA and THE BUTLER). However, they may have found a winner in the upcoming adaptation of the book ORDERS TO KILL by author William Pepper. If [...]
Looks like Jessica Biel won’t be making her debut as the super villainess Viper in the upcoming Marvel film THE WOLVERINE. According to reports the actress got cold feet the same night she was offered the role and decided to turn down the film. Apparently this isn’t the only time Jessica Biel turned down a [...]
It’s been reported (though not confirmed) that Jessica Biel has been offered the role of the villainess Viper in the film THE WOLVERINE. According to the comics, Viper was originally a nemesis of Captain America but later became a lover of the Silver Samurai and was thwarted in an assassination attempt by Wolverine (to be [...]
Shooting for the new X-Men spin-off film THE WOLVERINE will begin very soon (like next month) and we’re finally finding out who the big bad is. Looks like Will Yun Lee (TOTAL RECALL, RED DAWN) has scored the part of Silver Samurai in the upcoming film. For those a bit unfamiliar with Silver Samurai, he [...]
This summer I have been admiring some of the recent superheroes that have graced the silver screen and realized that they don’t hold a candle to my smokin’ hot hubby. Smart, sexy and gifted with the super power of hilariousness, he is the ultimate superhero in my book. That being said, I thought I’d share [...]
Just yesterday we received nine new images from Tom Hooper’s LES MISERABLES and today we get a brief trailer for the film. The first trailer features a heavy dose of Anne Hathaway singing “I Dreamed a Dream” and if you’re not familiar with the story or the song, then let’s just say this isn’t going [...]
Lost in all the excitement of the superhero movies and Quentin Tarantino’s DJANGO UNCHAINED is the A-list packed musical LES MISERABLES from director Tom Hooper. After winning an Oscar for THE KING’S SPEECH, Hooper is set to follow it up with the big screen adaptation of the popular musical. And to help him along the [...]
At first glance of the Blu-ray cover of KATE & LEOPOLD, audiences could easily be tricked into thinking they were about to take an adventure of epic proportions down an romantic comedy road. “If they lived in the same century, they’d be perfect for each other.” What a great tag line! This movie has [...]
I always think of Hugh Jackman as an A-list superstar, but when you sit back and look at his non-Wolverine films, I can’t say I’m a huge fan of any of them. Looking at his last 5 films in which he had a leading role, there was REAL STEEL, which was average, DECEPTION and AUSTRALIA, [...]
REAL STEEL isn’t anything groundbreaking or original nor is it going to win any awards. But as far as mindless popcorn entertainment goes, REAL STEEL is pure brilliance. Set in the near future where Robots have replaced human boxers, Hugh Jackman is Charlie Kenton, a broke, washed up boxer who now operates a robot in [...]
Flix66.com and Touchstone Home Entertainment are proud to offer you a chance to win a Blu-ray of REAL STEEL. On January 24th, DreamWorks Studios releases REAL STEEL on Blu-ray Hi-Def and DVD! Set in the not-so-distant future where boxing has gone high-tech and 2000-pound steel robots have taken over the ring, this heart-warming story of a winning [...]
A couple of years ago, actress Madeline Stowe was shopping a script around town called UNBOUND CAPTIVES. The film is a Western and is about a cowboy that rescues a distressed woman whose husband is killed and children are kidnapped by a Comanche war party. Word had it that the script was very good and [...]
Tom Hooper’s big screen adaptation of the musical LES MISERABLES is due to hit theaters by the end of 2012 and there are still key roles that have yet to be cast, two of which being Eponine and Cosette. Well, if everything aligns perfectly, the two roles will be filled by Taylor Swift and Amanda [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant The idea of a “robot version of Rocky” just sounds like a lot of fun, so I’m excited for the Blu-ray release of REAL STEEL on January 24th. REAL STEEL was another film I missed this fall (I had a rough September), but I’ll definitely be picking this one up. The [...]
