read comments (0)Watch Hugh Jackman in ‘Pan’ Trailer!!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
I am bringing you a trailer I have been waiting for since I heard about the film’s beginnings. I love fairy tales and bedtime stories, the heroes, the villains and the fights are the magic I grew up with. There was one villain that frightened me with a fear, that ultimately excited me with his wickedness. That villain and story are Captain Hook from Peter Pan.
Hugh Jackman and James Mangold Are up For Another ‘Wolverine’ Film!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Well, this comes as no surprise as the last Wolverine film has grossed over $413 million worldwide, that 20th Century Fox is already prepping another Wolverine film. They are so impressed by the last movie’s returns, that they are asking director James Mangold and Hugh Jackman to work again in the next film.
Check Out the New Trailer for ‘The Wolverine’ with Hugh Jackman!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
This is the brand new trailer for ‘The Wolverine‘ starring Hugh Jackman. This trailer should be in front of most prints of ‘Fast and Furious 6‘ this weekend, so be sure to look out for that. The film will be in 3D and is directed by James Mangold (‘Copland‘, ‘3:10 To Yuma‘). This is also a prequel to the whole X-Men series and will focus a bit on Logan’s time in Japan, which is a fan favorite in the comics. In this trailer, we get a big look at that side of the story. The film opens July 26th and I hope it’s a bit better than the previous film.
Check Out Hugh Jackman As ‘The Wolverine’ Once Again!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Finally, after several years of going in and out of production, the new Wolverine film is finally taking shape. James Mangold is directing the project. Mangold directed ‘Cop Land’, ‘Girl Interrupted’, ‘3:10 To Yuma’, ‘Identity’, and ‘Walk the Line’ to name a few. Not sure how to take this film yet. At one point, Darren Aronofsky was attached to direct, but that fell through. I was not a fan of ‘Wolverine Origins’, but hopefully this film will be much better.
Will Yun Lee Set to Star Opposite Hugh Jackman in The Sequel To Wolverine: Origin’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Will Yun Lee will star in the upcoming sequel of X-Men: Origins – The Wolverine Sequel. The film will be directed by James Mangold and details of the characters and story are being kept ultra secret. At least for now they are. The character Lee will be playing is called Harada. Do you remember who Harada is?
Dan Moran’s Favorite Movie Moments from 2017!
This isn’t a Top 10 List. I have a few more movies to check off before I can make that list but I wanted to share some of the moments that wowed me on screen this year.
BEWARE OF SPOILERS!
Favorite Movies of 2017!
Was 2017 a great year for movies? Of course it was. There were some excellent films to be released in 2017. There were also some bad ones for sure, but the focus on this article are some of the Best films that stuck with me long after viewing. Most people will give you their Top 10 list, but this is no Top 10, because there are just so many movies that I loved and feel passionate about, that I find it difficult and unpleasing to rank them.
Instead, these are my favorite movies of 2017, which I hope you’ve seen already. If you haven’t yet, you’re in for a real treat and I can’t wait for you to see them. Some of these films are still in theaters, while some are on Netflix, 4K UHD, and Blu-ray, so you’ll be able to quickly see any of these if you haven’t. I watched over 270 movies that were released in 2017 and these are my absolute favorites. I hope you get to see all of these, because I know you’ll love them. In no particular order…..
The ‘Christopher Nolan 4K Collection’ is coming December 19th!
If you’re like me, then you have grown to love filmmaker Christopher Nolan over the years. Come December 19th, most of his films will be released on 4K UHD for the first time ever. The films include the ‘Dark Knight Trilogy‘, ‘Inception‘, ‘The Prestige‘, ‘Interstellar‘, and the recent ‘Dunkirk‘. Each film will come with HDR as well, meaning a richer and deeper looking image for each movie. Each film will feature extras, the standard Blu-ray Disc, and Digital Copies of each movie. The whole collection will retail at about $150 with the ‘Dark Knight Trilogy‘ retailing at around $70. Of course with the holidays coming up, expect big discounts everywhere for these.
The First Trailer For ‘The Greatest Showman’ Has Arrived!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
20th Century Fox presents the first trailer for ‘The Greatest Showman‘, featuring stars Rebecca Ferguson, Zac Efron, Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, and Zendaya. It’s a biographical musical that I can’t wait to see. The film bows December 25, 2017.
‘Logan’ Drops To 4K UHD With Special Edition Showing At Alamo Drafthouse!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment brings Hugh Jackman’s celebrated seventeen-year run as Wolverine to a close when the box office phenomenon Logan arrives on Digital HD on May 16 and 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™and DVD May 23. Sir Patrick Stewart (X-Men: Days of Future Past, Star Trek: The Next Generation), Stephen Merchant (Hello Ladies, The Office), Boyd Holbrook (Narcos) and newcomer Dafne Keen join Jackman in the iconic character’s final chapter, directed by James Mangold (The Wolverine, Walk the Line).
Film Review: ‘LOGAN’!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
For decades now, we have been clamoring for a ‘Wolverine‘ film done right. From his first incarnation in Hulk #181 to his own miniseries in comic book form in the 1980’s by Frank Miller, to the amazing Saturday Morning Cartoon, and his first appearance in a feature film in 2000 with ‘X-Men‘, which had the song and dance man Hugh Jackman play the iconic character. He was so good at playing Logan/Wolverine, that fans immediately took a liking to him as that character and he went on to play the ‘Snikt-y Snikt’ character in almost a dozen more films. Besides the ‘X-Men‘ films, Wolverine got his own set of standalone films, which may or may not have been liked by a lot of people for various reasons. Either the story was too silly or the character Wolverine was to PG for fans.
Take A Closer Look At ‘Logan’ With an Extended Red Band Trailer!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Director James Mangold (‘The Wolverine‘, ‘Walk The Line‘) has taken up the Wolverine mantle he’d set down when production wrapped on ‘The Wolverine‘ in 2013. He’s back to tell the final chapter of Wolverine’s story with ‘Logan‘. Back in the saddle is Hugh Jackman as the bladed mutant, Boyd Holbrook, Doris Morgado, Patrick Stewart, Stephen Merchant and Dafne Keen also share the screen. The second trailer for the film is here in all it’s red band glory and we catch Professor X swearing y’all!
We’ve Got The Exciting ‘Blade Runner 2049’ Trailer!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Dennis Villeneuve, the director for the Hugh Jackman vehicle, ‘Prisoners‘ and the Oscar nominated ‘Incendies‘, takes on the continuation of ‘Blade Runner‘. The film is set thirty years after the first film and stars Ryan Gosling. Harrison Ford is back, but he’s not the focal point of the film. Also appearing in the film are Ana de Armas, Jared Leto, Mackenzie Davis, Robin Wright and Dave Bautista.

On the heels of the new ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2‘ teaser that released yesterday, comes the first look at ‘Logan‘! Director James Mangold worked with the Wolverine character in the past with 2013’s ‘The Wolverine‘ and has returned to bring the story home with the Old Man Logan story line. Hugh Jackman is back for the last time as the titular character along with Patrick Stewart. Other cast members include Boyd Holbrook, Doris Morgado, Sienna Novikov, Elizabeth Rodriguez and Stephen Merchant. Check out Merchant’s first peek as Caliban, an albino mutant.

Mister Sinister Will Be Villain in ‘Old Man Logan’ Movie!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
We’ve known for a long time that a third sequel to the X-Men solo movies about Wolverine was coming. We’d even gotten some pretty solid leads on the fact that the Old Man Logan storyline is going to be the base for that film. Now, we have another tidbit of info that can give us an idea of how the film is coming together.
Wolverine’s Back For ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’!!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
We’ve all hoped for it and it looks like those hopes will be fulfilled when ‘X-Men: Apocalypse‘ hits big screens everywhere May 27 – Wolverine is back!!! In the trailer released today, none other than Hugh Jackman tweeted his involvement by tweeting a short clip accompanied by a simple “W.”
The Search For A Younger Han Solo Has Come Down To A Short List Of Maybes!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Lucasfilm and Disney are making some big announcements today. One being that M and Steven Spielberg are back for another sequel to Indiana Jones, you can read about that here. The next being that they are closing in on their younger Han Solo for their solo film about the Star Wars hero. They haven’t landed on an actor, yet, but they have a short list of three actors that have made the finals in the selection process.
Film Review: ‘Eddie The Eagle’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
Underdog stories are almost always fun. From ‘Miracle‘ to ‘Rocky‘ to even ‘Little Giants‘, these stories of regular people, who you normally wouldn’t pick for a sports team, prove that they have enough heart, guts, blood, and spirit to give it a real shot and make it to the top. Some of these films and television shows we’ve seen that have portrayed the ‘underdog’ scenario have been based on real people and real events, such as this one, ‘Eddie the Eagle‘. If you grew up during the 1980s, you might remember hearing about ‘Eddie the Eagle‘, who was a British Olympic ski jumper at the Calgary 1988 Olympics.
It’s Confirmed – Old Man Logan Will Be The Storyline For Wolverine 3!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
It’s finally been confirmed and the Old Man Logan storyline for the next Wolverine movie is a GO!!! ‘Deadpool‘ has opened the doors for the powers that be to realize that an R-rated comic book movie is not a death sentence and Fox has green-lit an R-rated Wolverine 3!!!
Chris Rock Steps Up To Host 88th Academy Awards!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Have the Oscars lost a little of their glittery oomph that make it a night of royalty for Hollywood’s best and brightest? Maybe. One year it will be utterly entertaining, original and exciting, the next it feels forced, stale, boring and becomes the night that NEVER ends early enough. I’m sure there is a formula for success and the host is key. Hoping to have figured out that recipe, producers David Hill and Reginald Hudlin have asked Chris Rock back to host the 88th Academy Awards.
Film Review: ‘Pan’!
Janet W., Here…
Pan opens with the star-filled, vastness, and seemingly infinite space a proper setting for our imaginations. This is where the world began. Fitting this would be the start of the story of one of literature’s most courageous young boy (sometimes a grown woman, remember Mary Martin played him, too), Peter Pan. Pan is where Peter’s story began, long before he met Wendy, John, and Michael. Peter was a baby left on the front steps of Lambeth’s Home for Boys in pre-World War I London.
Here’s a Cheat Sheet For ‘Old Man Logan’ – SPOILERS!!!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
San Diego Comic-Con is all I’ve been talking about the last week, and with good reason! The epic trailers, the cast surprises, the tidbits of info that have been, previously, safely guarded. This week gives us a fantastic peek into the next year or two of film and gets us stoked for those release dates. One of the most exciting bits of information came from Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman. He gave us three words that sent fans everywhere into a frenzied sort of glee as to what ‘Wolverine 3‘ could entail, myself included, those words were “Old. Man. Logan.” Boom!
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!
Film Review: ‘Chappie’!
Fernando M., Here…
OK, so Neill Blomkamp (‘District 9‘) likes video games and old school sci-fi movies. Just putting it out there. Chappie, the character, not the movie, is the result of a robotic police force and government robotics and one programmer that wants to push the limits of AI. He does so with his creation “Chappie,” a robot with feelings, who is stolen and raised by a couple of gangsters who try to teach him to be a criminal for their benefit
Fox Tells Us When Some of Their Big Films Are Coming Out!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
Fox has announced some dates and even changed some dates for a few of their upcoming big budget films. It’s not too uncommon for studios to change dates and announce particular dates so far in advance, but with such big money makes, there has to be some sort of reason for the dates, considering over the next few years, Fox will have to compete with a hell of a lot of big movies from other studios.
Jana’s Best/Worst of 2014!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
It’s been a big year for the entertainment world. Netflix’s initial push to bring movie-theater worthy films straight to streaming customers and bypassing the big screen altogether set off a chain of deals that will take those fresh releases and push them directly into homes allowing us to bypass a $15.00 soda, but denying us the $20.00 popcorn you can only get at the theater.Then came the deluge of series and movies being made for exclusive run with everyone from Netflix, Amazon to Crackle and everything in between. Top that off with the huge breach of privacy Sony experienced. New releases were flooded onto P2P sharing sites and private emails from the film company’s big wigs that show us how the infrastructure of Sony really works, not to mention what those involved really think of some of their superstars.
WWE: 2014 Slammy Awards!!
‘The Last of Us’ Goes From Game to Screen With Sam Raimi!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
You know how One Direction causes pubescent girls across the globe to squeal with glee? Now take that intensity and obsessive behavior and attach it to millions of guys that follow comic books and video games the way a stock trader follows the Nasdaq, then you can understand the genius of Screen Gems bringing out Sam Raimi at Comic-Con today.
Hillary T.’s ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Review!!
Hillary T., Here…
I am a Marvel girl. I am. But after the last ensemble X-Men movie (Last Stand), I was devastated at what had become of my beloved mutant team. Then, First Class came out, which gave me a lot of hope. Then they announced Bryan Singer would return to direct the next installment. Dare I get my hopes up more? Then they shared the “Days of Future Past” storyline. I was instantly hooked. The cast started rolling in, and I got even more hopeful and well, I was really happy after the first preview. It looked good, even great.
Zack Snyder Will Direct ‘Justice League’ Film Following ‘Batman Vs. Superman’!!!
Hello, Jana here,
It looks like Warner Bros. is banking pretty heavily on Zack Snyder’s ‘Batman vs. Superman‘ release, with a so-so reception of last year’s ‘Man of Steel‘, they gave him a sequel. Not only is he doing a sequel, he cast Ben Affleck as Batman which has drawn cheers and jeers, mostly jeers, from the public since then. So it seems a little ridiculous to me that Warner Bros. has already announced a ‘Justice League‘ movie helmed by Snyder. I’m not saying a ‘Justice League‘ film isn’t a good idea, I just don’t think building the DC Universe off of the ‘Man of Steel‘ platform is the way to do it.
Film Review: ‘Enemy’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Director Denis Villeneuve is on a roll here. Denis worked with Jake Gyllenhaal on the hit movie last year called ‘Prisoners‘, which starred Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, Paul Dano, and Terrence Howard. But not a lot of people know that Denis and Gyllenhaal filmed a movie right before they started ‘Prisoners‘, but has not been released until now. That film is called ‘Enemy‘, and it completely hypnotized me for the entire 90 minutes.
Houdini Receives The Big Screen Treatment!!
Jana B. here
The life of celebrated escape artist and magician Harry Houdini is fertile entertainment ground. Producer Jimmy Miller and Sony Pictures, is bringing the life of ‘Houdini‘ to the big screen with a HP Lovecraft twist. Max Landis, writer of 2012’s ‘Chronicle‘, the upcoming ‘Me Him Her‘, and highly anticipated 2015’s ‘Frankenstein‘ starring Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy, will re-write the screenplay that was originally put in place by scribe Scott Frank.
The Top 20 Vampire Movies Of All Time!!!
Jana B., Here…
I love making lists. Grocery lists. Bucket lists. Holiday lists. Favorite movie lists. Favorite VAMPIRE movie lists. I bet that got your attention, didn’t it? This is MY list of the top 20 Vampire movies ever made. Why did I point out that it was MY list? Easy. So you read this knowing it wasn’t an Academy vote that got a movie on this list. No one paid me to promote their movie. However, I’m NOT against this, just to be clear. Why spend time putting movies in a list? Maybe it satisfies some Freudian lack of paternal affection I suffered as a child. But the real answer is, “Why wouldn’t I make a list as awesome as this?”
Film Review: ‘The Wolverine’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
This second installment in a supposed trilogy on Wolverine is certainly a step in the right direction. Despite ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine‘ being a terrible mess of a film on all levels, it managed to muster almost $400 million worldwide. With James Mangold at the helm this time and leaving off the ‘X-Men‘ title, we have a decent attempt of furthering one of the most beloved heroes in comic book history. Leaving the CG effects on the back-burner this time around, and going with a hand-to-hand combat method with elements of noir and Kurosawa in mind, this ninja-heavy action blockbuster for Fox should garner appropriate returns.
Sink Your Claws into a New Trailer for ‘The Wolverine’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Here is a Japanese trailer for the upcoming ‘Wolverine‘ film titled ‘The Wolverine‘. It showcases a tiny bit of new footage that we haven’t seen from previous trailers. This looks loads better than the previous ‘Wolverine‘ effort already. James Mangold is directing this sequel, which is not as appetizing as Darren Aronofsky directing, but that is long in the past. Mangold did ‘3:10 to Yuma‘, which was great, so let’s hope for something that spectacular, but Wolvy Berserk style. Snikt!
Halle Berry Will Return as Storm in Bryan Singer’s ‘X-Men’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Yes, there is more ‘X-Men‘ news. It seems that every actor in Hollywood is joining Bryan Singer’s new ‘X-Men‘ film. Now we hear that Halle Berry will reprise her role as Storm in ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past‘. She joins her old cast-mates, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore, Hugh Jackman, Ellen Page, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and the recently joined Omar Sy.
Rebecca Hall Joins Johnny Depp & Paul Bettany In ‘Transcendence’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here…..
Official Press Release: Rebecca Hall is set to star alongside Johnny Depp and Paul Bettany in Oscar-winning cinematographer Wally Pfister’s directorial debut, TRANSCENDENCE, it was announced by Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove, co-founders and co-CEOs of Alcon Entertainment, which is financing and producing the project.
‘The Intouchables’ Star, Omar Sy, Joins Bryan Singer’s ‘X-Men’!!!
Misty Here….
Well X-Men fans, Bryan Singer has hit Twitter to announce some upcoming casting to the new movie, ‘X-Men:Days of Future Past’. Omar Sy, who you might know from the French film ‘The Intouchables‘, has joined the cast. He will be working with the franchise veterans, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore and Hugh Jackman.
‘Argo’, ‘Django Unchained’, and HBO’s ‘Girls’ Win Big At Golden Globes!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
The Golden Globes were last night and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler killed it. They were amazing. Even former president Bill Clinton showed up to talk about Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln‘. Even though I really liked the film ‘Argo‘, I was shocked when it won best film and director for Ben Affleck. I was happy to see ‘Django Unchained‘ win for best supporting actor for Christoph Waltz and screenplay for Tarantino. If this is any pre-cursor to the Oscars, I’d be completely let down if ‘Argo‘ takes it all. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great film, but not the best film of the year. I expect it to and want it to win the best adapted screenplay. Just my opinion. Below are the full results from last night’s show.
The Oscar Nominations Are In!!!
Hi, Bryan Here…..
Earlier this morning, Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone announced the Oscar nominations, which MacFarlane came across as pretty funny. I’m excited for him to host the Oscars this year. And, his film ‘Ted‘ actually got nominated. How cool is that? Below is the full list of Oscar nominations. Let us know what you think. We will be posting a separate article soon on Oscar snubs, because believe me, there are many. And don’t forget, we will be doing our annual LIVE OSCAR COMMENTARY, which will mark the 6th time we have done it. It promises tons of laughs.
Here Are the Nominations for the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
The nominations came in this morning and needless to say, I went into a fit of rage. I mean I was so mad, I almost wrote a letter. After going through the list of nominees, while some of the noms were well deserved, many were not, especially in the FILM categories. There needs to be a serious uprooting process at the Golden Globes where everyone involved in voting needs to be replaced by others who know what they’re doing.
Film Review: ‘Rise of the Guardians’
Hi, Bryan Here….
When I walked into the ‘Rise of the Guardians’ screening, I didn’t quite know what to expect. It could have gone either way for me. Luckily, it went a good route. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, mainly due to the unorthodox versions of these characters we have come to know through out the ages. Not only will ‘Rise of the Guardians’ play to the young ones, but adults will have a fun ride with it too this holiday season.DreamWorks Animation did a bang up job with this project.
The Red Band Trailer for ‘Movie 43’ Might be the Best Thing You See All Year!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
I first heard about this film earlier this year when Gerard Butler told me that he was going to play a foul-mouthed leprechaun, and that one of his lines was, “I’m going to crawl up your mother’s cunt and start a fire.” That instantly put this film at the top of my list. This film has about a dozen writers and a dozen directors, and looks to be a sort sketch comedy film, but who knows? I can’t tell what this will be about. But one thing is for sure, it looks fucking hilarious and has an AMAZING cast including, Sean William Scott, Halle Berry, Naomi Watts, Christopher Mintz Plasse (McLovin), Chloe Moretz, Liev Shreiber, Terrence Howard, Gerard Butler, Kate Winslet, Elizabeth Banks, Hugh Jackman, Kristen Bell, Emma Stone, Anna Faris, Richard Gere, Parick Warburton, Justin Long, Uma Thurman, Kate Bosworth, Kieran Culkin, Jack McBrayer, and much much more.
Bryan Reviews ‘Real Steel’ Bluray!!! (A Bluray Review)
Hi Bryan Here…..
I was totally smitten with ‘Real Steel’. I went into the film thinking that it wasn’t going to do much for me, but I was blown away on how great this movie was. I really enjoyed it. The FX are top notch and it looks incredible on bluray. The extras are pretty decent as well. The movie warms the heart, has some very thrilling and tense fight scenes, and a bit of comedy. This could be fun for the whole family, and it will. I definitely recommend ‘Real Steel’.
Wolverine Returns to Broadway with Aaron Sorkin!!!
Hi Bryan Here…..
That’s right. Hugh Jackman will head back to the big stage on Broadway for a new show, but not as Wolverine. But rather ‘Houdini’. Houdini marks the debut of Aaron Sorkin on stage, with music by Stephen Schwartz. Jack O’Brien has been set to direct the production, which will be presented by producer Scott Sanders and David Rockwell, the latter of whom will design the sets.
‘City State’ to Be Remade in English!!!
The Bishop Charlotte Reporting….
I’m resigned. Originality in Hollywood will never return. But, if it has to give up on novelty, at least it’s giving us good stuff.
City State is an Icelandic crime drama centered around four people caught up in the underworld. When a foreign mafia takes over the drug market, their lives intersect. There’s a bad cop in love with a whore, a revenge-seeking female cop, an aging crime boss with a heart condition, and a mechanic-turned-avenging-angel. Even a remake could be completely engrossing. It sort of sounds like Sin City meets Crash.
Bryan Sits Down With ‘Snowflower and the Secret Fan’!!! (A Review)
Hi Bryan Here….
‘Snowflower and the Secret Fan’ is a film by Wayne Wang who is probably most known for his film ‘The Joy Luck Club’. Over the years Wang has directed movies such as ‘Smoke’, ‘Because of Winn-Dixie’, and ‘Maid in Manhattan’. These are a far cry from ‘Joy Luck Club’, ‘A Thousand Years of Good Prayers’ and his most recent ‘Snowflower and the Secret Fan’. I must say I am happy to see Wang return to the Chinese American storylines in his films. He does this effortlessly. ‘Snowflower and the Secret Fan’ is based on the novel by Lisa See.
What Films Got Into Toronto Film Fest 2011??? Find Out Here!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
“The 2011 Toronto Film Festival has unveiled the first part of its slate, and announced that the Davis Guggenheim-directed U2 documentary From The Sky Down will open the festival, which will run from Sept. 8-18.” In addition to U2, there are quite a bit of amazing sounding films. Below is the official list of films that have already been locked into place for the festival. Tons of stars and great sounding movies.
Ben K. Sits Down With ‘Snow Flower and the Secret Fan’!!! (A Review)
Ben K. Here….
‘Snow Flower and the Secret Fan’ Review
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is a film filled with good intentions, but a poor understanding of subtlety. Wayne Wang, the film’s Chinese American director, takes aim at a particular demographic and pushes every possible button. Wang has been better; see The Joy Luck Club. I found his latest to be redundant in both message and narrative, as it essentially tells the same story twice in different costumes.
Move Over Batman!!! Captain Planet Is Getting The Live Action Big Screen Treatment!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
Cartoon Network has just inked a deal with producers Don Murphy and Susan Montford who have just come off the ‘Transformers:Dark of the Moon’ film and are finishing up their work on the giant Hugh Jackman Robot boxing film ‘Real Steel’ to bring the somewhat classic cartoon ‘Captain Planet’ to the big screen in a live action adaptation.
Wolverine Sequel Finally Has A New Director!!!
Hi Bryan Here…
This competition for director of the Wolverine sequel has been going on forever it seems like. THere have been quite a few people up for the job and some who have been offered but later dropped out. Such as Darren Aronofsky who dropped out a few months ago. Well Hugh Jackman and Fox has picked their director. And that director is James Mangold.
Wolverine Might Lend His Claw To ‘Les Miserables’?!?!
Hi Bryan Here…
Director Tom Hooper’s next project will be the adaptation of the stage play ‘Les Miserables’ and he is courting Hugh Jackman to be the star. Also, actor Paul Bettany (‘Priest’, ‘Legion’) is wanting the role of Javert for which he has already read and sang the songs for execs and casting directors. The goal so far is to start production by the end of the year somewhere in Europe.
The “Real Steel” Trailer is Here and Holy Sh*t, It Will Blow You Away!!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
When we all heard that Hugh Jackman was going to star in a film about boxing robots, we all thought “Ummm Okay, I guess it could be cool but weird.” This trailer kicks so much ass!!! This movie is going to make tons and tons of money in the box office and merchandising. This is like every kids and adult males wet dream. Wolverine teaching huge ninja robots how to fight. Mix Rocky with robots and a father/ son story and you will make billions of dollars. It’s like a hard-on wrapped in gold.
Wolverine Has No Director!!! Darren Aronofsky Off Wolverine Film!!! SNIKT!!
Hi Bryan here…
Director Darren Aronofsky has dropped out of the next Wolverine film. Aronofsky made Pi, Black Swan, and The Wrestler. This is a fairly big blow to the comic book world. Now who knows when Wolverine will be made or if a director as good as Aronofsky would hired to take on the job.

The Upcoming Wolverine Film Directed by Darren Aronofsky is Shaping Up To Be Badass!!!
Hi Bryan Here…
The good people over at HERO COMPLEX has scored an amazing interview with Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman. and from the interview it looks like Darren and Hugh know exactly how to make this Wolverine story the way it should be.
Bryan’s Most Anticipated Films for 2011!!!
Hi Bryan Here…
So 2010 is over and 2011 has just begun. I was recently talking with a friend and we both agreed that 2010 was kind of a let down as far as movies went. Don’t get me wrong, there were some precious gems riddled throughout the year, but they were not many. Basically I said, that it was a very uncool year with flashes of coolness in regards to films.
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.
Darren Aronofsky Might Direct the Wolverine Sequel…
Director Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem For A Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler) did not get the job to direct the new Superman flick, but he is currently in talks to direct the next installment of the Wolverine franchise.
As of now, Aronofsky has a perfect record in filmmaking. But so did Gavin Hood (Tsotsi) before he directed Wolverine. I did not like the Wolverine movie. It was completely sloppy and uninteresting. A terrible film really.
Let’s hope that Aronofsky gets creative control with this film so it will not tarnish his reputation. Plus it would reunite Aronofsky and Hugh Jackman working together. Their previous collaboration was on the sci-fi love story, “The Fountain”.
Looking forward to seeing Wolverine in Japan.
SNIKT!
James Franco and Anne Hathaway Will Host The 83rd Academy Awards!!!
Hi Bryan Here…
In a very odd and interesting movie, the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have announced that actors James Franco and Anne Hathaway will host the 83rd Academy Awards show. The show will air on February 27th, 2011.
James Franco To Make Film Based On 'Zola Tells All'!!!
