‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ Casts Philip Seymour Hoffman
“The Hunger Games” has currently brought in over half a billion dollars worldwide. It will no doubt end as one of the highest grossing films of the year. It was enjoyed by both fans and critics alike. As a result, anticipation for the next film has been high. And the rumor mill of casting key […]

Celebrate “The Amazing Spider-Man” with SPIDER-MAN WEEK in St. Louis
My anticipation for “The Amazing Spider-Man” continues to build as we get closer to its release on July 3rd. Each still shown and footage screened has looked better and better. Now reviews are starting to pour in with 10 positive reviews and 1 negative currently on RottenTomatoes. So if you just can’t wait any longer, […]
Watch Linkin Park Concert Live in Movie Theatres
You like the idea of concerts, but minus the burly, sweaty douchebags who stand in front of you. You like listening to music while sitting down. You like being secure in the knowledge that no one will spill their $9 beer down your back. In other words, you are not me. But you are you, […]
How Did ‘Rock of Ages’ and ‘That’s My Boy’ Do Against Last Week’s Top Films At The Box Office?
This week’s two big releases had enough star power to propel them to the top of the box office, but did the word of mouth on previous weeks releases keep them from making money? Rock of Ages had the draw of Tom Cruise, “classic” 80’s music, and a built in audience from the stage show. […]
Scorcese, DiCaprio, Dujardin Team Up For Drama ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’
The director of my favorite film of last year is reuniting with my favorite actor of the last decade and is being joined by one of the most charismatic actors to break out in recent years. Let me rewrite that so it may be a little more clear for some people. Martin Scorsese, director of […]
DC Moving Forward With ‘Justice League’ and ‘Wonder Woman’ Films
The Avengers has dominated everything. Domestic box office numbers. Global box office numbers. Superhero films. Every film except for Titanic and Avatar. Of course this is good news for superhero genre fans like myself. I love costumed heroes with superpowers, and the success of The Avengers will result in studios wanting to cash in on […]
Snow White Makes More Than Expected As It Takes The Top Spot At The Box Office
1.) Snow White and the Huntsman…..$56,255,00 2.) MIB 3……$29,300,000 3.) The Avengers…..$20,273,000 4.) Battleship…..$4,810,000 5.) The Dictator…..$4,725,000 I think everyone would have predicted “Snow White and the Huntsman” to take the top spot this weekend, but it made quite a bit more than was anticipated. The studio was predicting around $40 million opening weekend. Universal […]
Who Warner Brothers Wanted The Villain To Be In ‘The Dark Knight Rises’
“It’s gonna be the Riddler, and we want Leonardo DiCaprio to play him.” This is what screenwriter David Goyer recently told Empire Magazine about what the studio told him. I don’t think this will shock all that many people. Obviously the studio would want a big name villain for the finale of Nolan’s Batman trilogy. […]
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 […]
