Some of these include, you may have guessed, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Joss Whedon’s latest bit of cinema (which may change the world as we know it), that controversial Game of Thrones scene from last Sunday, the amazing (TBD) sequel to the classic Sword and the Sorcerer and whole lot more. Yes, more! You can’t handle all the more!

This week’s picks include Chris’ pick of the beer Modern Times from the gang at, well, Modern Times Beer and Joe’s pick of the webcomic Cura Te Ipsum.

First ‘Kick-Ass 2’ Red Band Trailer Arrives

by John Carle, Mar 14 2013 // 8:00 AM

Kick-Ass 2

After reading Kick-Ass 2, it was on baited breath that we waited for the Kick-Ass 2 movie trailer to come out. While no one agreed with all of the changes made to the original Kick-Ass, Matthew Vaughn did a great job working alongside the source material. How do you take something like Kick-Ass and make it more profane and obscene than having a little girl spewing explatives? Kick-Ass 2 plans on doing so with even worse language and a horde of new costumed vigilantes.

This first trailer gives a peek at Jim Carrey in action as Colonel Stars and Stripes as well as his “wonderful pet”. We also get a glimpse as Red Myst reinvents himself with a very un-PG new name. Fans of the comic will especially enjoy the fan service being played out referencing some of the comics most memorable scenes already.

Remember, since this is a Red Band trailer, discretion is advised! Check out Kick-Ass 2 after the jump.

The Fate of ‘Justice League of America’ May Be in Hands of The ‘Man of Steel’

by John Carle, Jan 29 2013 // 12:00 PM

justice-league-01-1280x1024
With the successes of Nolan’s Batman trilogy and his involvement in the upcoming Man of Steel, it seemed like Nolan was going to be getting the Joss Whedon treatment with the DC movies moving forward. Though no director or producers have been formerly assigned to the Justice League movie, it was assumed that Nolan would have some level of involvement in it. But it seems that Warner Bros. faith in their own franchise isn’t as strong as the fans would hope to believe.

Variety has stated that “Warner’s top brass has indicated that they are awaiting results of Man of Steel, which opens June 14, before moving further ahead.” Now while this doesn’t specify the exact results they are looking for, it is a very worrisome statement to hear Warner already discussing Man of Steel in this way as well as the future of the Justice League movie with it.

First Image of Hit-Girl from ‘Kick-Ass 2’

by John Carle, Jan 29 2013 // 8:00 AM

Hit-Girl Kick-Ass 2 Image Cover

Last summer, the violent and foul mouth antics of Chloe Moretz stole the show and our hearts (and ticked off a lot of parents and church groups) as Hit-Girl in the first Kick-Ass. Chloe will be reprising the role in the sequel to the film that her parents wouldn’t even allow her to watch in the upcoming Kick-Ass 2. Alongside Chloe will be the returning Aaron Johnson as the film’s title character and the addition of Jim Carrey as Colonel Star and Stripes.

What They Need to Do to Make ‘Deadpool’ Work on the Big Screen

by John Carle, Aug 21 2012 // 11:00 AM

Since the abomination that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine, word has been that a Deadpool movie would be on its way. Since Wade Wilson’s appearance at the beginning of the movie was pretty much the only salvageable part of the film (and we can all just pretend that everything at the end didn’t happen), it does make sense to bring Ryan Reynolds back to take on the role. In current Marvel continuity, Deadpool has lost his healing factor which means the scars that cover his face are gone and he can appear as a normal person.

This is a huge asset to any film with a known actor taking on the headline role as it gives legitimacy to him being seen without the full costume on at all times. Frankly, no one was really looking forward to seeing the fully scared up Deadpool face on screen when the mask came off anyway. But in some ways the actor portraying Deadpool is low on the list of concerns in regard to what is needed to make this character actually work for a full feature length film.

One of the most challenging aspects of Deadpool is going to be his inner dialogue that goes on between Wade and the two insane voices in his head. One reason it works so well in comics is the visual cue. Deadpool has his own distinctive speech bubble and each of the two voices has their own design to their respective caption box as well. Even when ‘Pool is talking under a mask, it is easily identifiable which of the three is talking. The problem that appears in a movie is that when the film is in motion and Deadpool is talking under a mask, it is going to be a challenge to identify three different voices on screen.

Dream Cast: Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’

by Matt Blackwood, Jan 30 2012 // 3:00 PM

Now that Marvel has its own movie studio, it’s time for the House of Ideas to try out some fresh ones on the big screen. Sure, we all know the Iron Man and Thor sequels will make a billion dollars, but Marvel needs to think long term and use this opportunity to branch out.

Black Panther has never ranked in readership with Marvel’s flagship titles, but the movie-going audience is more diverse. A superhero film featuring a strong black cast could bring in a whole new audience to comic book movies. And the hardcore fans will always be along for the ride so long as the movie stays true to the source material.

Of course, in order to do that, the studio has to nail the casting.

Dream Cast: The Luna Brothers’ ‘The Sword’

by Matt Blackwood, Jan 16 2012 // 12:00 PM


With comic properties being snatched up by movie studios like lucrative hotcakes, a Luna Brothers film project is clearly inevitable. With their cinematic style, self-contained stories, and strong emotional centers, Joshua and Jonathan Luna’s titles are a perfect fit for the silver screen.

Probably the best thus far, a very original and dark superhero tale called simply The Sword could make an amazing, violent, and beautiful modern fantasy film. Of course, the cast would have to be as moving as the source material. Here are my humble suggestions for a movie adaptation of The Luna Brothers’ The Sword.

Film Review: ‘Cowboys and Aliens’

by Nat Almirall, Jul 29 2011 // 11:15 AM

It has cowboys. It has aliens. It has cowboys and aliens. It’s not a bad film. It’s not a good film. It is a movie. That’s a pretty lackluster opener, but, walking out of the screening, I felt almost completely neutral about Cowboys and Aliens–it was like the things I liked and the things I disliked were in perfect balance.

The film doesn’t fail to deliver on anything the title promises, and you can lose count of the standard tropes from either genre that it hits, but it’s tough to maintain the toothy grin I expected all throughout. Though I’m getting ahead of myself.

Daniel Craig plays Jake Lonergan (one of many last names I suspect are puns but am not entirely sure), a notorious outlaw who awakes one morning with a heavy case of amnesia and one hell of a bracelet on his left arm. He makes his way to the nearest town, controlled by the gruff cattle rancher Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford) and his uppity son Percy (Paul Dano), whose favorite pastime is terrifying the community at large and in particular the local bartender (Sam Rockwell) and his wife (Ana de la Reguera).

It’s not long before Jake endears himself to the locals, among them the soused preacher (Clancy Brown), the woman with a secret (Olivia Wilde), and, naturally, the sheriff (Keith Carradine) by punching out Percy, and not long after that that his identity is revealed, and he’s locked up. Still less longer, the aliens arrive, capture a handful of significant townsfolk, and everyone’s differences are set aside as they form a posse to recover the abductees. ‘round about this time, Jake discovers that his bracelet is able to sense the aliens and, better yet, can blow ‘em up real good.

Film Score Friday: Top 10 Comic Book Movie Scores of All Time

by Jonathan Weilbaecher, Jul 22 2011 // 12:00 PM

It’s Comic-Con! Hurray!

In honor of this geek-stravaganza, today’s Film Score Friday is taking a break from the standard review and instead going through the top ten comic book scores of all time. So without further adieu, I present to you the top ten comic book scores of all time:

10. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Scott Pilgrim is a melting pot of geekdom. Mixing together video games, movies, TV, comics, music and many more into a singular generational experience. The movie has so much going on in it that the references and structure starts to bleed in on itself, making a seamless cinematic experience. A huge part of that is the music, which flows between songs and score better than almost any film before. The score bit in particular is what makes this list, making use of some great digital sounds that fit the movie like a glove.
