There are quite a few theories out there regarding Avengers: Infinity War, as is the case with pretty much every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, or comic book movie for that matter. The latest one, however, is definitely an interesting one, as it speculates who could be the secret weapon The Avengers need to take down Thanos! The theory comes courtesy of a user on Reddit, who speculates that it could be Mantis, as the character has spent years practicing to put a celestial to sleep. This is definitely intriguing, and it’ll be interesting to see what actually happens in the…

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is definitely a film that’s gotten all kinds of discussion, both positive and negative. While critics praised the film, the audience seemed divided, as evident by the difference in critic and audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Some fans who didn’t like the movie noticed that, and have launched a petition to shut down the website – for the positive reviews. The petition reads: Rotten Tomatoes has a very flawed aggregate rating system. Take for example the Critic’s Ratings for Star Wars: The Last Jedi (93%), Ghostubusters [sic] (73%) and Sharknando [sic] (82%). All of these movies got high ratings but from…

There are obvious Star Wars: The Last Jedi spoilers in this article! Star Wars: The Last Jedi is easily the most talked about and overly dissected movie of 2017. It seems as though Star Wars fans either absolutely loved or hated the movie – and aren’t shy about it. If you’ve seen the movie, you know that Holdo (played by Laura Dern) crashes her ship at light-speed into a First Order destroyer to release the escape on the ship. At that moment, all sound is cut in the movie – something director Rian Johnson intentionally did. Some fans, however, apparently…

Black Panther is perhaps a film that gets lost in the buzz because of all of the attention that Avengers: Infinity War is receiving, but that’s not to say it’s not a highly anticipated film. It’s reportedly tracking to make a ton of money at the box office, and that’s no surprise given the impressive track record of the Marvel Cinematic Universe thus far. In the latest edition of Empire Magazine, we’re given an up-close look at Black Panther’s new suit for the film, and it looks pretty cool! We were also treated to a new TV spot for the…

Steppenwolf, the villain in this year’s Justice League, was seen as somewhat of a disappointment by many. Personally, I didn’t find the CGI nearly as bad as the rest of the internet apparently did, but I digress. It turns out, however, the character almost had a much more terrifying design. Conceptual artist Jerad S. Marantz posted the following design to his Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/p/BdGTzvcn75s/ Some complained about Steppenwolf’s motivations in the film not really being explained, but that’s probably due to the fact that Warner Bros. cut out giant parts of the film – including scenes with Darkseid and a way…

There hasn’t been really any kind of promotional material for Disney’s upcoming Han Solo movie, Solo: A Star Wars Story, due to problems behind the scenes. The original directors were fired, and Ron Howard was brought in to finish the movie. Disney is also apparently worried about the film, and the fact that we haven’t seen anything when the movie is out in May is definitely cause for pause – especially for a Star Wars movie. There is now, however, an alleged description of the trailer we’re supposedly getting very soon, which reads: Not much, but here’s a rundown of…

We already knew that there was a Tim Curry Pennywise the Clown Easter egg in this year’s IT Movie, as it was revealed in one of the trailers, but I felt it would be interesting to point out again, now that the movie is out on digital, and will soon be released on Blu-Ray, as many fans might not be aware that it’s even in the film. It occurs in the “Beep, Beep, Richie!” scene. It’s interesting that it made its way into the film, considering director Andy Muschetti had some pretty negative things to say about it: “Most of…

In the depressing trend that’s sweeping Hollywood, yet another person in the industry has been accused of sexual assault. This time, it’s none other than Max Landis – you know that guy who wrote 2012’s Chronicle and makes it a point to let everyone know that he did in fact write Chronicle – and the allegations are on Twitter for everyone to see. I can’t imagine who is more scared in a post-Weinstein world than a famous director’s son. — Allie 4815162342 (@AllieGoertz) November 7, 2017 BTW, multiple publications interviewed me about this tweet and I gave on-the-record comments to…

After Tim Curry’s portrayal of Pennywise the Clown scared an entire generation, actor Bill Skarsgård knew he had big shoes to fill for this year’s IT Movie. He knew he didn’t want to do the same thing Curry did, as he wanted to make the performance something entirely new. As Skarsgård himself said back in September: “It was always important for me to reinvent It and reinterpret It in a different way. I sort of grew up with the Tim performance and I was very familiar with it and a huge fan as an actor, so my process of preparing for the…

The upcoming third season of Marvel’s Daredevil is definitely a highly anticipated one, especially after the cliffhanger ending of The Defenders. We also know that Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin will return, but it might be a little different than the character we’re used to – according to Vincent D’Onofrio. In a recent interview with Collider, D’Onofrio said: “It’s hard to top the first season, with Steven DeKnight’s writing, but Erik Oleson (the new showrunner) is a very good writer. I’ve shot some pretty cool scenes, so far. It’s different, but it’s very Fisk. It’s still very emotional. The character is…
