Based on “one of the coolest superhero movies of the decade” (Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun Times), Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will debut the first ever “challenge room” at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). The X-Men: The Tomb of Apocalypse X-perience (Booth #3529) will incorporate a series of challenges that fans will solve to defeat the […]

Imagine a rich comic universe with plenty of potential to be found in simply taking a piece of it, rather than cramming so much into one feature film. That has been the struggle of X-Men films over the years and while some have managed to balance this assemblage of characters better than others, there is […]

20th Century Fox has released a brand NEW and I am told FINAL trailer for X-MEN: APOCALYPSE! The story of the film goes a little something like this. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men […]

Reviewing The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby on Blu-ray makes for a somewhat difficult situation, because there are two versions of this film (thankfully both available on this release). The first has something of a subtitle known as “Them”. This version takes the story of a married couple that separates and follows both of their lives […]

I am not only excited for this release, but for the fact that it includes both versions of the film. Check it: Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company are proud to announce the home entertainment release of Ned Benson’s emotionally thrilling film, THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY. Audiences can own this inspired example of […]

Although I cannot claim to be a huge X-Men fanboy, I went into this past Tuesday night’s press screening of X-Men: Days of Future Past with a gusto of glee and optimism, not to mention excitement, after being so let down by the mediocre Godzilla last week. And why not? The past two films, The Wolverine and First Class, were actually really […]

How do you bring everyone together? That is the question returning X-Men director Bryan Singer must have been set on answering in his attempt to not only combine the casts from nearly every previous X-Men film, but find a way to satisfy everyone with what is basically the biggest X-Men film ever. The results are […]

Here is the second trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past. Given how quiet marketing has been, as far as revealing plot details regarding one of the best story lines in the X-Men comics goes, this new trailer will surely satisfy those on board with the popular mutant franchise, as it has plenty to offer as […]

Last week saw the debut of the trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. This week is all about X-Men: Days of Future Past, the latest mutant adventure, which will be based around one of the most iconic stories from X-Men comic series. The most intriguing part of all of this is how this film […]

Trance is one of those 2013 films like Stoker where I had every intention of seeing it theatrically, but for one reason or another the stars didn’t align properly and ultimately plans fell through. Simply put, I call that the hardships of life. And much like Stoker, movie goers and critics alike have given Trance […]

Although Fox never listed what was going to be covered during their Comic-Con panel this year, I knew I had to be there because I was pretty sure that The Wolverine would be included and I had a sneaky suspicion that we might get to see some X-Men: Days of Future Past footage. I was […]

Trance hit theaters in limited release this past April and won me over (review HERE). As a big fan of Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours) and his constant decisions to make every one of his films wildly different than his last in terms of plot, despite having a very distinct style, I enjoyed […]

Aaron, Liz and Sean try to wrap their minds around this new drama from director Danny Boyle. Starring Aaron Fink, Liz Manashil and Sean Wright. Directed by Amy Taylor. Auctioneer Simon is injured in the midst of an art heist. Unable to remember the details of his crime, Simon is forced into hypnosis. But as […]

I love how in the dark I was about this movie. The reason I jumped at the chance to see Trance is because I love Danny Boyle’s work, as he always tackles a new genre and injects his kinetic style into it. This generally makes for a film that is quite unique, regardless of its […]

I was kind of worried throughout the first half of the year that it wasn’t going to be a pleasant 2011 as far as theater viewings went. There were more than a few flops at the cinema by the time June came to a close with a sparse picking of films that had some ‘wow’ factor. […]

X-Men: First Class is the official first chapter in the X-Men film universe. One could even say that the film is a reboot of sorts, but that may or may not be stretching it a bit. A very cool cast has been assembled to take on the roles of earlier character versions in this latest […]

Adding to the list of exciting comic films that are coming out during the packed summer of 2011, we now have the latest entry in the X-Men film franchise. I find X-Men films to be among the tougher comic book properties to make into films, as it involves the use of an ensemble cast and […]
