Scarlett Johansson joins her fellow Avenger Robert Downey Jr. in Chef

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

Writer, director and actor Jon Favreau seems to be dipping into his IRON MAN 2 pool to extract some talent for his next project CHEF.  His biggest snag was Robert Downey Jr. reported just last Friday from Cannes. Next on the list is Scarlett Johansson who is no small fish herself.  Barring any crazy scenarios, [...]

Robert Downey Jr. joins Sofia Vergara in Jon Favreau’s Chef

Friday, May 10th, 2013

I have to admit; it’s really, really nice to do a story about Robert Downey Jr. that has nothing to do with Iron Man.  Sure, I hope he comes back to the franchise just as much as the next guy, but the internet has been a little crazy lately with the will-he-or-won’t-he talk about IRON [...]

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in the first Gravity trailer

Thursday, May 9th, 2013

Well, after the ridiculous teaser for the teaser trailer, we finally have the official trailer for director Alfonso Cuaron’s GRAVITY, featuring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney flying through space.  Really, those three names alone are enough to get me excited for this film, but the real question is whether or not Cuaron can make the [...]

Marvel needs Robert Downey Jr. and the cast of The Avengers more than they need Marvel

Thursday, May 9th, 2013

With the billion dollar success of IRON MAN 3 (click the link to read the review) and the inevitable talk around THE AVENGERS 2, conversations have come up regarding the contract situations for the cast of the original Avengers. To recap; Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy [...]

George Clooney flies through space in a brief tease of the Gravity trailer

Wednesday, May 8th, 2013

Every time I post a “trailer for a trailer”, I feel obligated to apologize profusely for it.  I despise this trend of releasing trailers for trailers more than any recent Hollywood trend in memory.  But in Hollywood’s defense, I remember ET doing this kind of thing more than 20 years ago (which is when I [...]

Iron Man 3 Movie Review

Friday, May 3rd, 2013

After last year’s summer extravaganza in THE AVENGERS, the individual pictures of said team have a lot to compete with.  That’s the major problem when you make a great film, it’s hard to meet expectations for the follow up.  I’m happy to say, while a bit uneven, IRON MAN 3 is still able to deliver [...]

Robert Downey Jr. jumps out of a plane in new clip from Iron Man 3

Monday, April 29th, 2013

In four short days, you’ll learn what the rest of the world already knows; IRON MAN 3 is impressive.  Some critics are even hailing it as the best Marvel film yet, meaning it might even be better than last year’s ensemble, THE AVENGERS.  Most critics seem to point to star Robert Downey Jr. for giving [...]

Robert Downey Jr. reminds you who he is in a new TV spot for Iron Man 3

Sunday, April 28th, 2013

With almost $200 million raked in worldwide, the juggernaut that is IRON MAN 3 has gained a lot of momentum before its US release next weekend.  Aside from being excited for the film, the only thing I can think about when I hear these crazy box office numbers is how much fun Robert Downey Jr.‘s [...]

Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow discuss New York in new clip from Iron Man 3

Friday, April 26th, 2013

Reviews are flying in from around the world for IRON MAN 3 since it hits theaters this weekend in a lot of places.  Those of us in the United States won’t get a chance to see it until next Friday, so we’ll have to settle for a short clip.  Speaking of those reviews, they seem [...]

Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow star in another new Iron Man 3 TV spot

Monday, April 22nd, 2013

We haven’t even bothered posting all of them, but by my count, this is the 12th different TV spot for IRON MAN 3.  Yep, 12 different commercials have been rotating on TV for a while now and as we inch closer to the May 3rd release date, you shouldn’t expect to turn on the TV [...]

Robert Downey Jr. calls out The Mandarin in the first clip from Iron Man 3

Friday, April 5th, 2013

IRON MAN 3 is now officially less than one month away and to whet our appetites, Marvel has released a new clip from the film, featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, calling out The Mandarin and challenging him to a good old fashioned one on one battle.  What has Tony so upset?  Well, we [...]

See what new armor Robert Downey Jr. will be wearing in Iron Man 3

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013

With the release of IRON MAN 3 just over a month away, Marvel is kicking up the marketing campaign into high gear.  Over on the official IRON MAN 3 Facebook page, they have a contest going where you can register for a chance to attend the Los Angeles premiere on April 24th and also unlock [...]

Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall are teaming up for The Judge

Wednesday, March 13th, 2013

Robert Downey Jr. has been attached to the dramedy THE JUDGE for a while now, but back November, it was reported that Jack Nicholson was in talks to join RDJ in the film.  But Jack Nicholson doesn’t take many roles these days and so the filmmakers have turned their attention to Robert Duvall, who signed [...]

Robert Downey Jr. takes on The Mandarin in the Iron Man 3 trailer

Tuesday, March 5th, 2013

IRON MAN 3 has just released a new trailer and fans of the franchise should be impressed. Robert Dowey Jr. is back as Tony Stark/Iron Man and there’s a new villain in town (as always) called The Manadarin (played by Ben Kingsley) who is making life difficult for us mere mortals. I recall earlier stories [...]

Robert Downey Jr. looks determined on the awesome new poster for Iron Man 3

Wednesday, February 27th, 2013

Traditionally, Marvel likes to go with the tried and true “floating heads” design when it comes to the final one-sheets for all of their movies. For the teaser posters, they like to show a picture of their hero standing still, usually looking off into the distance. We’ve come to expect these kind of designs and [...]

Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle and Gwyneth Paltrow appear in more new photos from Iron Man 3

Tuesday, February 26th, 2013

More news on the IRON MAN 3 front today as some new photos from a magazine have made their way to the internet. Below you can see a few new photos from the upcoming film and although they are pretty grainy, they are still of Robert Downey Jr. so how bad can that be? What’s [...]

Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow get promo images for Iron Man 3

Monday, February 25th, 2013

I wanted to call both of these “character posters” to fit in with what we’ve seen from other IRON MAN 3 characters, but to be technically correct, the Robert Downey Jr. pic below is just a magazine cover and I’m sure Marvel will give us something better when they release the actual character poster for [...]

Don Cheadle shows off the Iron Patriot armor in a new poster for Iron Man 3

Wednesday, February 13th, 2013

I really need to brush up on my Iron Man knowledge.  I never got into the Iron Man comics, but I always thought Iron Patriot was what Coldblood started out as.  But I guess I’m completely wrong since the newest poster for IRON MAN 3 features Don Cheadle’s Rhodes wearing the patriotic armor.  It feels [...]

Robert Downey Jr., Ben Kingsley and Don Cheadle star in the Iron Man 3 Super Bowl trailer

Sunday, February 3rd, 2013

The Super Bowl was a bit of a letdown bot in terms of the game (I’m a big 49ers fan) and the commercials.  The trailers that did premiere during the game were either very familiar or not that great.  But one trailer that premiered that offered something a little clever was for Marvel’s IRON MAN [...]

Robert Downey Jr. falls from the sky in a new poster for Iron Man 3

Friday, February 1st, 2013

Yeah, I realize I’m late on this one, but things have been crazy around the Flix 66 offices and although I decidedly skipped over posting all the “previews of Super Bowl commercials”, I wouldn’t skip over a poster, especially one as cool as this.  Normally, posters for big budget, summer blockbusters are pretty pedestrian, either [...]

Robert Downey Jr. cuddles up next to Gwyneth Paltrow in another new Iron Man 3 photo

Friday, January 11th, 2013

With GANGSTER SQUAD (click the link to read the review) being a bit of a bust, it looks like cinema fans are in for a bit of a dry spell until late spring and summer. Luckily, a very popular magazine has released some new photos so we don’t get too depressed during these long winter [...]

Robert Downey Jr. is bruised and bloody in a new image from Iron Man 3

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

So far, the biggest concern most fans have with the upcoming IRON MAN 3 is that the film is going to be too dark and too serious.  Director Shane Black has gone on record as saying it won’t be and that it will feature plenty of the trademark Tony Stark humor.  Unfortunately, everything we’ve seen [...]

Robert Downey Jr. and Wang Xuequi are featured in new photos from Iron Man 3

Monday, December 10th, 2012

New photos have been released from IRON MAN 3 and today we’re getting to see some new images of Dr. Wu (played by Wang Xuequi). Apparently Dr. Wu is a new character in the Iron Man universe so we don’t really know much about him, but we do know that SPOILER ALERT he is the [...]

Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow star in the Iron Man 3 international trailer

Saturday, December 8th, 2012

IRON MAN 3 hits theaters in less than six months, so it’s only natural that Marvel is starting to slowly roll out the marketing campaign. The latest promotional effort for IRON MAN 3 is an international trailer (Japanese) which only has Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow in it. There are a few new scenes [...]

Robert Downey Jr., Rebecca Hall and Iron Patriot in new stills from Iron Man 3

Friday, November 30th, 2012

Admit it; you’re a little nervous about IRON MAN 3.  Marvel and the filmmakers know you are because we seem to be in a little bit of damage control lately.  Director Shane Black recently calmed everyone down and confirmed that IM3 was going to be light and no the serious film that everyone thought it [...]

Jack Nicholson could play Robert Downey Jr.’s dad in The Judge

Wednesday, November 14th, 2012

Looks like veteran actor Jack Nicholson is being courted to make an appearance on the big screen in the upcoming dramedy THE JUDGE, as father to Robert Downey Jr. Though he doesn’t take many roles these days (he is 75 years-old after all), if Jack Nicholson decides to join the cast he would play a [...]

Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Guy Pearce star in the full Iron Man 3 teaser trailer

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

Yesterday we saw a teaser for the teaser trailer for IRON MAN 3 and today we finally get the full length teaser trailer, which still sounds like an oxymoron.  I’m not sure what they were trying to accomplish with the teasers, since I think fans are excited enough to see Robert Downey Jr. back in [...]

Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow look worried in new photos from Iron Man 3

Monday, October 22nd, 2012

With the hype of THE AVENGERS Blu-ray slowing down, it’s time to get revved up for the next superhero action film which is IRON MAN 3. A few new photos have been released and the new patriotic Iron Man suit looks pretty good, although not nearly as good as Robert Downey Jr., who is really [...]

Robert Downey Jr. is suited up in new set photos from Iron Man 3

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012

Shooting for the third installment in the IRON MAN franchise had halted for a bit due to Robert Downey Jr.‘s ankle injury, but it looks like filming has started back up as today we’re getting a couple of set photos from sunny Miami, FL. According to the article from Daily Mail, Robert Downey Jr. has [...]

The Avengers 3D Blu-ray Review

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012

On paper, combining some of the biggest superheroes in the world into one movie and having them portrayed by some of the most talented actors while making it all live up to the obnoxiously high expectations of the fanboy community seems like a daunting task.  It’s not enough just to throw them into mindless action [...]

Mark Ruffalo may get his own Hulk movie after The Avengers 2

Monday, September 24th, 2012

It’s funny to think that movies are planned 3+ years out, but it’s very common and a necessity when you have a franchise full of superheroes that you want to grow larger and larger. So that’s where we’re at today, talking about another possible Hulk film starring Mark Ruffalo as the charming Bruce Banner/ annoyed, [...]

Joss Whedon gives a hint at what’s in store for The Avengers 2

Tuesday, September 11th, 2012

Director Joss Whedon gave us one of the most successful and, what could be argued, one of the best superhero films this year in THE AVENGERS. So thankfully Marvel Studios did something right and hired Joss Whedon back to not only direct the sequel, but to oversee any Marvel films that have the Avengers characters [...]

The Avengers 2 gets an official release date

Thursday, August 16th, 2012

After hearing that Joss Whedon was going to return to write and helm THE AVENGERS 2, it was only a matter of time before Marvel set up an official release date. Drumroll, please…THE AVENGERS 2 will makes its way to theaters on May 1st, 2015. That feels like a long way off but thankfully we’ll [...]

Robert Downey Jr. will be wearing new armor in Iron Man 3

Saturday, July 14th, 2012

We have to assume each sequel will bring some sort of variation to a superhero’s costume, but they’re usually a slightly darker color or an extra gadget or two.  I wouldn’t say the new Iron Man armor is drastically different, but it features an abundance of brown, which I find odd.  Maybe it will look [...]

Chris Evans, Christian Bale, Chris Hemsworth and the top ten hottest superheroes

Thursday, July 5th, 2012

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 [...]

The Avengers starring Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr. coming to Blu-ray in September

Friday, June 29th, 2012

Marvel and Walt Disney Studios have announced that the summer superhero blockbuster THE AVENGERS from director Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly)  will be released in a Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack as well as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack on September 25th, 2012. THE AVENGERS follows our favorite superheroes: Captain America (Chris Evans), [...]

Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows Blu-ray Review

Friday, June 15th, 2012

When director Guy Ritchie’s SHERLOCK HOLMES came onto the scene a couple of years ago, it revamped the story and character in a new exciting way that had audiences yearning for more.  Of course much of that can be attributed to casting Robert Downey Jr. as the eccentric, fast-talking, genius Mr. Holmes.  But everywhere SHERLOCK [...]

U.S. Marshals Blu-ray Review

Thursday, June 14th, 2012

In 1993, THE FUGITIVE starring Harrison Ford came on to the scene and blew audiences away.  Other than the fun action and clever story line, the overall cat and mouse between Dr. Richard Kimble and the U.S. Marshals, led by Tommy Lee Jones, were the real stars.  Even earning Jones a Best Supporting Actor Oscar.  [...]

Rebecca Hall will join Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man 3

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

With THE AVENGERS already in theaters and raking in oodles of money at the box office, it’s time to move onto yet another superhero film in the works which will be IRON MAN 3. It’s been reported that Rebecca Hall (THE TOWN, EVERYTHING MUST GO, FROST/NIXON and VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA) has joined the star-studded cast [...]

The Avengers Movie Review

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012

If there ever was a popcorn flick that matched its expectations, Marvel’s THE AVENGERS is it.  In order to properly enjoy the grand spectacle of THE AVENGERS, it’s important to grab your popcorn, soda and 3D glasses in the IMAX experience.  Is the 3D necessary along with all the goodies? Absolutely not.  Will it make the [...]

Mark Ruffalo talks about a possible Hulk spin-off

Monday, April 16th, 2012

The upcoming Joss Whedon directed film THE AVENGERS is opening up in the next few weeks (on May 4th, in case you missed it) and it’s only natural that talks of spin-offs are flying around Hollywood. We know that there will be another slew of Marvel films, but what about The Incredible Hulk? Mark Ruffalo [...]

The Avengers assemble in new action shots of Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner

Saturday, April 14th, 2012

THE AVENGERS screened to a select group of fanboys a few days ago and early reaction was extremely positive, pushing buzz on the film to an all time high.  But for those of us that haven’t seen it, the prevailing complaint is that all we’ve seen so far from THE AVENGERS is a bunch of [...]

Mark Ruffalo is the Hulk in new photo from The Avengers

Thursday, April 5th, 2012

A new image has been found from the upcoming Marvel film THE AVENGERS and shockingly enough it’s not of Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth or Robert Downey, Jr. It’s actually of the Hulk, who will be played by Mark Ruffalo in the upcoming superhero film. Mark Ruffalo has been in several promotional images, but we haven’t [...]

Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr. and Jeremy Renner in more images from The Avengers

Monday, March 26th, 2012

Even more photos have cropped up for THE AVENGERS from director Joss Whedon. Chris Evans is as always front and center here as Captain America, but we also get some good shots of Robert Downey, Jr. as Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo [...]

Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey, Jr. assemble in new banner from The Avengers

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

It’s been about two days since we’ve had any news on Joss Whedon’s upcoming film THE AVENGERS so it’s about time for another fix, don’t you think? Earlier this week Marvel Studios released a bunch of character posters for the film and today we see that all the pictures have been put together in a [...]

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, coming to Blu-ray in June

Tuesday, March 13th, 2012

If there’s a movie last year that surprised me with its under performance, it was SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS..  Everyone seemed to have loved the first one and from the opinions I received, the second one was at least equal to it in terms of humor and action.  To put it in perspective, [...]

Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson in new character posters for The Avengers

Tuesday, March 13th, 2012

If you watched the last trailer for THE AVENGERS and you didn’t get excited, then I’m not sure there’s any hope that the Marvel marketing team is going to be able to get  you pumped for the superhero ensemble film.  But they’re going to keep trying and their latest effort features all of our favorite [...]

Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth star in the final trailer for The Avengers

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

To everyone involved with the marketing for Marvel’s THE AVENGERS; I thank you for this trailer.  Up until this point, I was starting to have doubts.  The marketing had been a little cheesy and I was afraid this was going to turn into a big marketing campaign to sell toys (even the movie poster was [...]

Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner and a disproportionate Chris Evans in the new Avengers poster

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

With the daunting task of having to fit seven superheroes on one poster, we understand if the Photoshopping doesn’t look completely perfect.  But I think with a little more care, they could do better than this. Robert Downey Jr.’s hand looks twice as big as his body and Captain America looks way taller than anyone [...]

Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth in new photos from The Avengers

Monday, February 20th, 2012

The anticipation of a summer blockbuster can be a curse and a blessing. There’s nothing more exciting than sitting down in a nice cool theater on a steamy day waiting for the opening credits to roll across the screen for the biggest summer hit. The downside of this said anticipation is having to deal with [...]
