The Longbox: Casting Wonder Woman for the DC Film Universe
It’s been awhile since you were treated to the meanderings and rants of this comic fan, but fear not!! I have returned! On this edition of “The Longbox”, I’m going to give you my thoughts and insights on the recent casting of Gal Gadot (Fast 6) as DC’s flagship female character, Wonder Woman. Was she the […]
‘Machete Kills’ Official Trailer (2013) Starring Danny Trejo, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas
It all started off as a faux-trailer in Grindhouse. But there is nothing fake about the $44 million dollars that Robert Rodriguez’ Machete made worldwide in 2010. When the Machete trailer received one of the best reactions between Rodriguez’ Planet Terror and Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, they knew they had the makings of a hit […]
Matthew McConaughey’s ‘Dallas Buyers Club’ HIV Drama Acquired by Focus Features
Matthew McConaughey wants an Oscar, and he is determined to get one with his latest film, Dallas Buyers Club. The usually-buff actor dropped 38 pounds for the role of real-life HIV/AIDS patient Ron Woodroof. McConaughey’s commitment to the film is similar to what we have seen Christian Bale do on multiple occasions – the last […]
‘Only God Forgives’ Red Band Trailer Starring Ryan Gosling, Director of Drive Nicolas Winding Refn
Drive was one of my favorite films of 2011. I’m still bitter that the Academy dropped the number of best picture nominees from 10 to 9, and snubbed Nicolas Winding Refn’s bold film – which was one of the year’s best. Ryan Gosling gave a stellar performance, quiet yet powerful, which has catapulted him into […]
Watch New Thor 2 Trailer: ‘The Dark World’ Stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston
It is hard to believe that two years have passed since Thor hit theaters in 2011. A lot has happened since then, especially in the world of The Avengers. The first Marvel film to follow Joss Whedon’s $1.5 billion dollar gargantuan blockbuster is Iron Man 3, set to release next month on May 3. Then […]
New ‘Man of Steel’ Promotional Images – Behind the Scenes Look
It’s just a couple months away, and Warner Bros. is doing all it can to keep fans salivating at the prospect of Man of Steel. Each new still and trailer are making a lot of noise, and bringing a sense of confidence in the production. If judging by the hype the film is receiving from […]
New ‘Romeo and Juliet’ Remake Trailer Starring Hailee Steinfeld, Douglas Booth, Damian Lewis
It is one of the most famous love stories of all time, told in numerous films throughout the 20th century. Romeo and Juliet is William Shakespeare’s most well-known play, partially due to the amount of films that have been adapted from it. In 1936, Romeo and Juliet starred Norma Shearer as Juliet and Leslie Howard […]
10 Movies to Look Forward to in 2013
With over 100 movies yet to be released in 2013, it has been quite a challenge to pick the movies I’m looking forward to the most. After researching the latest movie news for 2013 films and watching a LOT of trailers, I managed to narrow the list down to my top ten picks. 10. White […]
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 […]
‘Stuck in Love’ Trailer and Poster (Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Connelly, Kristen Bell, Logan Lerman)
My first thought upon seeing the trailer for Stuck in Love was, “Haven’t I seen this before?” That’s because it looks like every other “sincere” adult romantic comedy of the past ten years. It shares elements of Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Kids Are Alright, and numerous other “indie” hits. That isn’t to say it doesn’t […]
