Film Review: ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ Starring Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, Channing Tatum
There’s no doubt about it – Matthew Vaughn absolutely knows how to direct a stylish and entertaining film. He’s proven as such after taking on the director’s chair for 2005’s crime-thriller Layer Cake and directed even more memorable gems since such as Kick-Ass, X-Men: Days of Future Past and most recently, Kingsman: The Secret Service, […]
Movie Review: ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ Starring Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, Taron Egerton
Double-0-Kickass They say whats old is new again, and in the case of Kingsman: The Secret Service directed by Matthew Vaughn, this statement rings true. Spy-related movies in general have taken a turn toward the more serious and purely dramatic route. Not to say that it is a bad thing, but for some,spy movies usually entail […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: X-Men: First Class
X-Men: First Class is a great comic book film that is anchored by a fantastic cast and resets the X-Men universe in an era ripe for potential future films. The film opens up right where the franchise did, with Erik Lehnsherr being separated from his family at a Nazi concentration camp and ripping a fence […]
Review: “X-Men First Class” Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender
X-Men gets the reboot/prequel treatment in X-Men: First Class. What could have been a phone-in FX-fest is instead the best comic book film since The Dark Knight and the strongest Marvel film since Spider-Man 2. (And that’s far from a backhanded compliment in light of Marvel Comics track record over the last decade.) X-Men: First Class is everything a summer blockbuster should be: […]
Matthew Vaughn Responds To Leaked Image with All New Images From “X-Men: First Class”
You can check out the full interview here. I just pulled my favorite quote from it which is below. Also enjoy all of the new photos that have been released. I’d say this is more like Casino Royale than [JJ Abrams] Star Trek. If you think about it, Casino Royale just totally rebooted Bond — […]

Rose Byrne and Jason Flemyng Join Matthew Vaughn’s “X-Men: First Class”
As Tim pointed out to me last night, Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class is getting pretty close to its anticipated start date, but there is still a lot of casting going on. The anticipated start date is still a couple weeks away, but last I heard even with these two new cast members, they still […]
Tony Scott Directing Mark Millar’s, Creator of “Wanted” and “Kick-Ass”, “Nemesis”
Mark Millar has had a surge of popularity in Hollywood as of late. The Scottish comic book writer has seen adaptations of his popular comics Wanted and Kick-Ass, both of which turn normal comic book conventions around. Now, Tony Scott has been penciled in as director of his latest series, Nemesis. Nemesis is about Matthew […]
“The Debt” HD Trailer Starring Helen Mirren, Sam Worthington, Tom Wilkinson, and Cirian Hinds
My first thoughts upon seeing the trailer for The Debt was how well the actors were cast for the two separate time periods. The actors share a lot of uncanny resemblances with the actors portraying the same character at a different ages. It isn’t perfect, but it is enough to keep the suspension of disbelief […]
Kick-Ass
“I’m surprised no one had tried it before,” says Aaron Johnson’s character Dave Lizewski towards the beginning of Kick-Ass. He is of course talking about superheroes, and despite their popularity, they’ve never been attempted by regular people. You might be surprised that no one has had this idea before, but the idea of a comic […]
