The sequel to one of the oddest comic book satires (from the satirical superhero comic of the same name), Kick-Ass 2 remains as faithful to the details of the comic as the original, but wildly misses on the tone. It’s a case of a well-directed film that features some bravura performances but loses its way […]

Hot Trailer: McCanick–Cory Monteith’s Final Role!
From the tagline on the Toronto International Film Festival website: A hothead cop (David Morse) learns a young man (Cory Monteith, in one of his final film roles) he helped put away seven years ago is back out on the streets — and carries with him an uncomfortable secret.

Walt Disney Pictures surprises D23 Expo with Exclusive Footage, Stars and more!
Disney’s live movie presentation almost made the entire journey to LA for the D23 Expo worthwhile. The nearly three hour presentation touched on a bit of everything.

Marvel Movie News at Disney D23 Expo!
Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn came to play at Disney’s D23 Expo. The huge crowd in the packed Disney Arena was in pure hysterics over Disney’s upcoming film slate. Horn kicked off the presentation by talking about all of their various divisions and the breath of it is just kind of staggering – […]
Disney’s Planes Takes Off But Doesn’t Quite Soar!
Put aside, for the moment that Disney’s Planes is pretty close to a beat-for-beat remake of Cars – only with planes. Set aside the ads that say ‘set in the world above Cars’ that want you to think this is a Pixar movie. Then, finally, forget that the movie was originally set to be a […]
Elysium Might Have Too Much Action!
