Inside the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden, actor/ director extraordinaire Andy Serkis was playing the role of moderator for the New York Comic Con panel on the new sci-fi epic Mortal Engines. When he asked director Christian Rivers to explain the movie, the audience was given an in-depth answer about a young woman dealing…
Broadway shows and comic conventions aren’t always a natural fit. Well that’s Broadway shows that don’t have “Harry Potter” in the title. One of the very first panels at New York Comic Con 2018 was a discussion with the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Once the packed house crowd solemnly swore that…
When October movies come around, I’m looking for Halloween movies or at the very least a movie that can fit in with the spooky season. This month definitely doesn’t disappoint. There are even two films with “Halloween” as either the title or part of the title. Plus man-eating anti-superheroes and a creepy hotel. We have…
Let’s be honest. The September movie lineup could present a strong selection of titles that pique our interest and it would still fall flat compared to the big movies we’ve been used to throughout the summer. But don’t fret. This month we have horror, sci-fi, comedy, and more! When did I become a movie salesman?…
Well hopefully you enjoyed the summer blockbusters while they lasted. There are a few intriguing titles hidden among the August movies, but nothing that will have you running out to buy advanced tickets. That is unless you’re a Winnie the Pooh superfan. Here’s our full August movie preview. August 3rd– The Darkest Minds, Christopher Robin,…
Summer movies are meant to be big. They’re meant to be epic. And yes, if we’re being honest, we expect some of them to be cheesy. Well the July movie lineup has plenty of options to choose from. There are the highly anticipated movies like Ant-Man and the Wasp. There’s the family fun with Hotel…
We have had plenty of superhero movies as of late. But as we get into June movies, the closest we’ll get to Marvel or DC comics is Disney and Pixar’s latest, The Incredibles 2. We also get to return to the island (again!) on a dino rescue mission for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Here’s our…
With Marvel moving the release of Avengers: Infinity War up a week to April 27th, the usually stacked May movie list is left a bit bare. Most years, May is the time for huge blockbusters to duke it out for box office dollars. There are still two sure-fire hits coming along, but Thanos started the…
Phase three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe proves just how great a time it is for comic book fans and fans of action comedies. Of the seven movies released so far in phase three, we have epic team ups that seemed only possible to orchestrate with action figures and origin stories that are somehow still…
Our look back at the stand out moments in phase one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brought us to some… interesting places. Now we have more to come with phase two. If you look through this roster of films, few would consider it to be the MCU’s best era. But that’s the great part about…
Leading up to the release of Avengers: Infinity War, I decided it was the perfect time for a rewatch of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s been 10 years and with each of these movies there are a ton of memorable moments. The internet is rife with lists ranking the movies, the superheroes, and the…
It’s finally here! Avengers: Infinity War is the cherry on top of the industry defining treat that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Eighteen movies, all of which were both box office and (mostly) critical successes, lead to this showdown between our heroes and Thanos. But before we get to that we have 11 other wide…
February had the breakout hit of the year so far with Black Panther. The March movie releases will attempt to follow that up with a strong month, but it will be tough to match that level of success. There are a few highly anticipated films that are worth a look. We’re still a few months…
The Following Contains Multiple References to Case Designate “Cloverfield.” Spoilers Ahead for all three Cloverfield films. In the middle of an already impressive night of movie sneak peeks, the viewing audience of Super Bowl LII got an unexpected look at a short trailer tying in the 2008 hit monster movie Cloverfield to a new film called…
The Super Bowl is one of those rare events that draws in viewers across demographics and interests. Sure, folks love their football. But for a significant portion of the massive viewership, the main event takes place outside of the actual game. Maybe you tuned in to Super Bowl LII on Sunday evening for the spectacle…
