Usually, when I go to a press conference- two things happen. For one, I have seen the movie and taken notes so I know what questions, if any, I have for the cast or directors. Two- the cast and directors actually give answers about the movie. Neither were the case for the press conference this past weekend for Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War and it made for a hilarious, fun, albeit unusual, press … [Read more...]
Black Panther Cast And Director On Fierce Women, Blockbuster with a Message and More
Black Panther is about to set the world aflame when it opens in theaters this week. Perhaps Marvel's most anticipated film to date (and the pre-sale tickets broke the record for all previous Marvel films), it's also, in my opinion, one of the Top 3 Marvel films and it's director and cast have EVERYTHING to do with that.

Captain America: Civil War Review
YASSSSSSSS! That is the exact feeling I had walking out of seeing Captain America: Civil War. After the mess that was Ultron, Civil War felt like the Avengers film that we were promised, but never got. Civil War is action packed, with witty dialogue, and a somewhat darkened plotline that deals with the darkside of the superheroes actions.
