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 […]
Weekend Box Office – X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, THE HANGOVER PART 2, KUNG FU PANDA 2
This weekend solidifies for movie producers why the smart move is almost always to go with something the audience is familiar with. All of the top four films at the box office this weekend were sequels or prequels. While critics and movie goers may complain of a lack of originality in theaters, producers are looking […]
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: […]
‘X-Men: First Class’ opens June 3rd, 2011 (wide)
Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to […]

BRAND NEW POSTERS FOR X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, HANGOVER PART II, ABDUCTION
Here are some brand new posters from some highly anticipated films. I just need to make three comments. 1. The marketing team behind X-MEN: FIRST CLASS has to be in the fifth grade and beginning to learn how to use photoshop. The only good poster for the film so far is the teaser that is […]
“X-Men: First Class” HD Trailer Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence
I have been anticipating this film since I heard that Matthew Vaughn was directing, and it is nice to finally see some footage to back up the anticipation. I think overall it is a pretty good trailer. The music and tone are fantastic. I am not a fan of the twenty second clip show of […]
Josh Schwartz Makes His Directorial Debut In “Fun Size”, Filming In St. Louis
Josh Schwartz has stuck with the realm of television until this year. He was the creator of two of my favorite television series, The OC and Chuck. He also helped develop Gossip Girl which I have never seen, but have heard good things about the first two seasons. This summer he will have his first […]
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 — […]
