Movie Review: X-Men ‘Dark Phoenix’ Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence
The X-Men franchise just can’t seem to close out a trilogy, it seems. After the greatness of 2000’s X-Men and even more so with 2003’s X2: X-Men United, viewers were left scratching our heads when X-Men: The Last Stand was made to close things out. After a couple of Wolverine films (that actually did get […]

Movie Review: ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Michael Fassbender
Based on Marvel’s “The Uncanny X-Men” issues #141-142, Days of Future Past is a time travel story that brings together the X-Men of old and new. The film bridges the gap between Bryan Singer’s original X-Men and X-2, and Matthew Vaughn’s “origin” story First Class. Throughout all of the X films, as well as the […]

New Photos From X-MEN Spinoff ‘The Wolverine’ Starring Hugh Jackman
It is unfortunate that 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine was so bad. After Brian Singer’s X-MEN and X-2 reintroduced superhero movies into the mainstream, X-Men: The Last Stand ended up in Brett Ratner’s hands and was ultimately a disappointment. Origins was the chance to focus on the most popular character in the franchise, Wolverine, and also […]
‘The Wolverine’ Domestic and International Trailer – X-Men Spinoff Starring Hugh Jackman
X-Men Origins: Wolverine wasn’t a complete failure. The film grossed almost $375 million worldwide, which is nothing to sniff at. However, had the film been good, it could have easily doubled that. Instead the film was critically panned, and hated by just about every fan of the source material. It wasn’t Hugh Jackman’s fault, but […]
The Long Box: Comic Book Casting Call – Daredevil
Back in 2003, Fox acquired the rights to Daredevil during the initial surge of interest in comic based films. The original cast was Ben Affleck as Matt Murdock, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Michael Clarke Duncan as The Kingpin, and Colin Farrell as Bullseye. The movie opened to mixed reviews. A sequel was discussed but never […]
Release Date Shuffle: X-Men, Planet of the Apes, Robopocalypse, Lone Ranger and Thor 2
We already saw a big shift in the last two weeks when Paramount announced a month before release that “GI Joe: Retaliation” would be postponed nine months until March 2013. Check out Blake’s thoughts here. I think that is a special exception though, due to these films being so far from their intended release dates […]
