This is a personal statement about something I wanted to share with folks that have suffered from issues that may have plagued them for some time or are just finding out what they are. I, like many of you, am a lover of film and can’t get enough of the damn thing. The concept of creating worlds, characters, and stories is something that makes my heart skip a beat.

Actor, activist, and all around nice guy Mark Ruffalo took time out from speaking on political views to… speak about his political views. Ruffalo has been known to talk about our current climate and the effects of what people have been doing to the planet. In doing so, he’s had a lot of criticism from folks who either don’t share his ideas or just want him to shut up and act. To that, he finds laughable. While making an appearance on AM to DM by Buzzfeed, Ruffalo spoke about using his platform as artist to reach a larger crowd: “The…

When the end credits of The Force Awakens began to roll, hype and anticipation was at an all-time high for the next installment in the Star Wars franchise. Before it was released to the public, critics all over gave praise that was fitting for a new Star Wars film. Once it hit theaters, a slow buildup of backlash was happening that was something new for the franchise. Sure, there was a unanimous decision that the prequels were awful beyond belief—with some folks calling those films the best in the franchise—but Star Wars: The Last Jedi has become something that no…
You know what you’re getting when your eyes land on the words “Star Wars”. Battles set in space, lightsabers, blasters, Stormtroopers missing their targets, talks about balance between light and darkness… the usual. Of course, after the credits had rolled for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, audience members were eager to see the next installment and counted the days until the release date. What was released was something that goes beyond what Star Wars is about. It goes beyond the blasters, the spaceships, the lightsabers, it goes beyond what to expect out of a Star Wars film and so much…

Spider-Man: Homecoming has finally been released for your “at home” consumption so you know the folks at Screen Junkies are ready to release an Honest Trailer for the film. The trailer likes to pick apart the film when it comes to logic, forced relationships with the wall crawler and even the slow ripple effects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline coming apart, but it’s done in a fun and non-malicious way…unlike CinemaSins. Anyway, the Honest Trailer is a fun watch even if you have seen the movie over a dozen times. Screen Junkies did their homework when it comes to…
You may turn off the panic alarms, the crisis has been adverted. The one-sided beef between Tyrese Gibson and The Rock is over. I know, I didn’t think the Fast and Furious franchise was going to survive this type of turbulence either. For those that weren’t on the edge of their seats, here’s what happened. Actor Tyrese Gibson, who plays Roman Pearce in Fast and Furious 5, 6, 7, and 8, has been all over his social media sites calling out Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, claiming that The Rock was trying to split up the billion dollar franchise. Gibson was…
It was revealed this week that a reboot of 1994’s The Crow would be moving into production in February of next year with comic creator James O’Barr working very closely with the producers and director Corin Hardy. If you’re a fan of the comic (or the movie) you probably already know that there were a few terrible sequels to the 1994 film that just weren’t very good. It turns out, though, we could have had a much more interesting sequel than any of the ones we were given. While speaking at Los Angeles Comic Con, we were able to get…
Last month, it was revealed that the reboot of The Crow had been is going to be distributed by Sony with the 1994 film’s producers. Though it wasn’t really confirmed if Corin Hardy and Jason Momoa were still attached, the actor and director did post some very interesting social media posts back in July that made it seem as though they were. We had the chance to get James O’Barr’s (the creator of The Crow) comments about the status of the reboot at Los Angeles Comic Con, and he confirmed that Hardy was still involved: “As of right now, it’s…
