Jana’s Best of 2017!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
I know these “Best of 2017” lists should technically be published in 2017, but why would I start 2018 any differently than I lived the majority of my adult life: Procrastinating and underachieving. What can I say? That’s my wheelhouse.
For a year that put a spotlight on some of the shittiest behavior by some of the Hollywood elite, it was actually a good year for TV and movies. I didn’t limit myself in number because as I moved on with the brackets, I felt like I was making ‘Sophie’s Choice‘ on some of these, so they’re all getting in! I’m feeling my inner-Oprah here, You’ve made the list! You made the list! EVERYBODY made the list!! In order to spare myself any arguments, I’m stating up front that my picks for the “Best of 2017” are not edited in regards to scandal or hideous human behavior.

Here’s the New Trailer for ‘Divergent III: Allegiant’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
For you ‘Divergent‘ fans, here is a new trailer for the third film in the series ‘Allegiant‘. I have not been a fan of these movies, but I know a lot of you are. The new trailer promises more action and melodrama, but in the past films, they never deliver to full satisfaction. Here’s hoping for a better film with the third one.
Film Review: ‘Good Kill’!
Janet W., Here…
Good Kill opens from a drone’s eye view over Afghanistan. This reality gives the best manifestation of “Death from Above.” Seven thousand miles away a pilot guides this miniature death bird. Thomas Egan (Ethan Hawke) wants nothing more than to pilot a F16 again. Having originally signed up for a one-year tour of duty with the UAVs, Egan is best in class on his 3rd tour. Physically back from the war, Egan’s life has been diminished in many ways. He cannot relate to his wife Molly (January Jones) or the domestic life in Las Vegas. Egan roams between work and home as though he is on autopilot. Suddenly the “Christian in Action” (aka CIA) hijacks his team for their covert off the books operations. The job was hard enough with the long distance assassination of unsuspecting enemies. Now, the call as to whether the person(s) in their sights are the enemy is taken from them. How long can they continue?

New Trailer Features Ethan Hawke In ‘Good Kill’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,

Podcast #38 – ReCast of ‘Saved By The Bell’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
The Multi-Media Men are back with the 38th episode that covers all things in the entertainment industry. We had a big house this time around, and this being the middle of summer, we had tons to talk about. Joining me is Adam Conway from the Angelika Film Center, Andrew Conway, Gwen Reyes from Fresh Fiction TV and Susan Kamyab from This Chix Flix. It was a lot of fun to say the least. Here is one of our infamous Re-Cast segments. We went ahead and recast the iconic tv show ‘Saved By The Bell‘, which is one of the most entertaining tv shows of the 90s that starred Mark Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez, Tiffani Thiessen, Dustin Diamond, Elizabeth Berkley, Lark Vorhees, and Dennis Haskins. There is no way we can replace any of the amazing actors aboard here, but in this day and age, a remake is more likely to happen than not. So here are some of our suggestions on who should play which role? Do you agree with us? Let us know if you agree or missed anything.

Film Review: ‘Divergent’!!
Hi, Bryan Here…
Ok, I’ll admit it. My name is Bryan Kluger, and I’m a Young Adult Movie virgin. I’ve never seen a ‘Twilight‘ movie nor have I seen either of ‘The Hunger Games‘ yet. And to be perfectly honest, I have not yet read any of these books that the movies were based on. Part of it is that I never got around to it while another part was that these stories didn’t really interest me. With ‘Twilight‘, my personal preference is to have my monsters whether they be vampires or werewolves, go on a nightly bender, wreaking havoc and killing for blood, only to have a hero stop their evil thirst and put them in their place. They are not to have vampires who wear glitter and talk about their feelings for three hours. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
First Look at X-Men: First Class!!!
Hi Bryan Here…
Here is the first photo of Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class which I don’t think was particularly supposed to be released yet. The whole picture just looks sort of strange and odd at t the moment. Needs more tweeking. But it is cool nonetheless.
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS CASTING NEWS!!
So the 1960’s set upcoming X-Men movie has pretty much all of its cast set in place with a possible addition of a cameo just added.
