Ten Most Anticipated Movies of 2018

Image
10. Pacific Rim Uprising Pacific Rim is on may people’s top ten list of 2013 movies, and deservedly so. A big budget, sci-fi action, monster movie based on a completely original idea, it felt like a miracle that Pacific Rim was made at all, not to mention how good it turned out. Unfortunately despite glowing reviews, Pacific Rim woefully under performed at the Box Office losing to Grown Ups 2 in its first weekend. It’s thanks to the movies success in other markets, most notably China, that we’re getting this sequel, but after watching the box office return of the first movie, the fact that we’re getting a sequel seems like just as much of a miracle as the first movie existing at all. With Kong: Skull Island out last year and a Godzilla sequel coming out next year, monster movies are coming back in a big way and it’s good to see some good original ideas getting made alongside the nostalgia acts. 9. Paddington 2 Already released in the UK back in November, Paddington 2 is one of the...

Ant-Man Post Credit Scene Explained (or at least discussed)

Image
Like all of the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was necessary to sit through the credits of Ant-Man to get a sneak peak of where Marvel was planning to go, moving forward with their movies. It's becoming more and more common now to not have just one, but two different credit scenes, on in the middle of the credits, and one at the very end. So lets take a look at both of the scenes. Obviously, spoilers for Ant-Man will be in this post. End Scene #1: The mid credit scene is of Hank Pym telling his daughter that he's finally ready for her to take more of an active roll in their field work. Then he reveals a Wasp suit and we end with Hope saying "About damn time." Its fairly straightforward here, and it seems clear that Hope will be suiting up to fight alongside Scott in future Ant-Man movies if there are any (which there probably will be). It's interesting to note however, that in the comics, Janet is the character who usually portrays the Wasp. As...

Marvel congratulates Jurassic World on crushing box office records

Jurassic World was probably destined to be a hit, but I don’t know that anyone expected it to completely shatter box office records. The film raked in $208.8 million domestically last weekend, surpassing The Avengers’ $207.4 million record, and soared past Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2’s $314 million international bow with $315.3 million. But it seems Marvel, for one, doesn’t have any hard feelings. Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige tweeted his congratulations to the Jurassic World team today, including, of course, Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt. The tweet features fun artwork by Marvel Studios concept artist Andy Park, depicting a dinosaur-riding Pratt lording over the befuddled Avengers. Check out the full image below, and click here for IBA’s Jurassic World review. Congrats Mr. Spielberg @UniversalPics @Legendary @LeDoctor @colintrevorrow and especially @prattprattpratt pic.twitter.com/5DxlDM8pgK — Kevin Feige (@Kev...

Extended Ramblings on Age of Ultron Pt. 2

Image
We ended part one of this article on the twins, so lets pick up right there. Again there are going to be big spoilers about Age of Ultron , so if you happen to be one of the last six or so people who haven't gotten around to seeing the movie yet, you should not read any further. Especially since the biggest spoiler of the movie is coming up next. Ok? ok. Spoilers start now. We need to talk for a second about Quicksilver, and his eventual fate in the movie. There have been a few reactions to Quicksilver's death, but here's the one that I actually feel strongest about. Now that Quicksilver has died, he needs to stay dead. Let me take you back across some of Marvel's Phase Two collection of movies, starting with the previous Avengers movie. In that movie we watched Coulson die and it was a very powerful moment. It was the dead of someone who we didn't really expect and in may ways didn't know how much we cared about him until he had died. That's what mad...

Extended Ramblings About The Age of Ultron Pt. 1

Image
Note: This is not a review of Age of Ultron. Not Really. If you want a review, you should go see it. It's pretty good. As good as the first one? Debatable. Very different than the first one, But it is good. What this is, is exactly what it says on the box. A collection of extended, somewhat disorganized, ramblings about Age Of Ultron. Judging by the amount of money it made over the past several days, there is a fair chance that you've seen Avengers: Age of Ultron by now. So for the purposes of this article, we're going to assume that you've seen the movie and will be dealing with a spoiler or two getting down and discussing the bulk of the movie. So consider this a spoiler warning for the remainder of the article. Spoilers Start Now! There is a general feeling when it comes to sequels, especially action and superhero sequels, that the stakes have to be raised the second time out. After all we saw our hero survive whatever threat the first movie had to offer, a...

Sesame Street is the place to be for Parody

Image
Parodies can vary greatly when it comes to quality. Sometimes you can find a gem like Airplane. More often than not you find Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans, The Starving Games, etc. But in this day and age where quality parodies seems to be few and far between, do you know where you can actually find a parody or two that are not only hilarious, but actually educational for kids as well? That's right, Sesame Street has stepped up to the plate recently, and cranked out several great parodies of recent pop culture. Check out just a small selection below of what Sesame Street has to offer. Game of Thrones: House of Cards Les Mis Avengers: Age of Ultron  But believe me,this is but the beginning, of what Sesame Street has to offer, They've done Star Wars , Sons of Anarchy , Mad Men , Twilight , Lord of the Rings , Harry Potter , the list goes on and on.

Leaked Post Avenger Credits Clip

Ok, it only seems fair to say right up front that this is fake.It's been stated that this is a fake. I personally believe that it's a fake (If it were real, there would be quite a lot of audience noise the moment that a certain something was revealed, even if it was a room full of snobby movie critics. That ending is just something you react to.) Normally I wouldn't report on fake, already debunked news, but this one is actually put together really well, and pretty enjoyable. If you don't want to watch on the very very very, off chance that this is the ending to Avengers (or maybe even to Ant-Man later this summer) I can't say I blame you though.

The Avengers Trailer has been released.

The countdown has begun.
