  • Ninja Turtles: Take Five

    I grew up on TMNT. My brother had the sheets, the action figures, the puzzles, the nun chucks, you name it, we had it, and we watched the show and the movies quite a LOT – “God, I love being a turtle!” I also love cheesy puns, cheesy pizza (with anchovies), and cheesy costumes, but…

  • Is Simon Pegg Ant Man?

    Oh my god, oh my god, did you see that picture Simon Pegg tweeted from the Marvel Studios? He’s totally going to play Ant Man in the new movie…maybe. In reality he just sent out a picture of himself in the Marvel Studios pointing to a poster of Ant Man. As a result the Internet…

  • After Credits Stingers Keep Moviegoers on their Toes

    There aren’t many ways for movies to stay in the headlines after they hit the theaters.

    Ben Affleck is the new Batman. Yes, that Ben Affleck; the Jersey Girl loving, fake movie hostage smuggling, Matt Damon sidekicking, already been Daredevil, Ben Affleck. So, what does it mean?
