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...]
Marvel Shows AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Footage At #D23Expo – And Everyone Loses Their Minds
Disney’s D23 Expo knows how to treat its fans – specifically those who are giant fans of Marvel Studios. They’ve got it down to a science, knowing exactly what’s gonna whip the crowds into thunderous applause and full-blown hysterics. And this year, they totally delivered. Not only did Kevin Feige show off the new Marvel Studios’ official 10th anniversary logo, he spotlit one film in their … [Read more...]
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.

REVIEW: MILES AHEAD Is Miles Behind A Legend’s Legacy
Things can go one of two ways when a celebrity has a passion project. If it’s good, it’s called a “passion project.” But when it’s bad, the label that frequently gets ascribed is “vanity project” (e.g. THE POSTMAN, BATTLEFIELD EARTH, AFTER EARTH). Now, typically I abhor defining films as such because it feels so dismissive of the filmmaking process. When you think about it, just because … [Read more...]
Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle Talk Iron Man 3
Watching Iron Man 3, I was in total amazement at how far the movie has come since the first release. I'm not just talking about the graphics, but the complete arcs of the characters involved really take you for an epic adventure. Take Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), for example. In the first movie, she is just Tony Stark's assistant...the smart, level headed female that not only can handle Tony … [Read more...]
