At the Movie Blog, we strive to cover films and watch as many movies as possible. It was impossible to see everything from 2014. I attended a few film festivals this year and tried to attend as many screenings as possible. Of course, I watch all the screeners that the … [Read More]
Did you guys know that Ryan and I attended the New York City Comic Con way back in 2013? Yep, we went there and inhaled all the aroma of god knows how many people cramped into way too little space. The books, the costumes, the artists, the experience. Somehow … [Read More]
You know I was pretty hum-ho about this next X-men film for a while right? I constantly remind everyone that I think First Class was overrated, and the prior 2 films in the X-universe were watchable but not re-watchable. The next film is in the franchise, Days of Future … [Read More]

Casting rumors, especially Jim Carrey casting rumors, are fickle and can’t be trusted without binding contracts. I’m still taking this name with … [Read More]
The title says it all. The hot rumor floating on the web right now is that Matthew Vaughn’s follow-up for X-Men First Class might exploit the popular 1980’s story line from the X-Men comics involving time travel. How did this rumor start? The best and usually most reliable way outside of merchandise … [Read More]
I stumbled across these posters for Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass the other day and for the life of me I can’t figure out why they weren’t used. They have that cool ‘paint’ theme that were used in other posters but in a wholly creative way. I like the use of the … [Read More]
