Two More Popular Marvel Characters Have Cameos In ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ By Germain Lussier/Nov. 3, 2014 6:00 am EST Avengers: Age of Ultron is going to be big. Very big. Even the first teaser trailer hints at things we weren’t quite sure we’d see in a Marvel movie. Captain America’s shield broken, Steve Rogers somehow in the past, Iron Man fighting The Hulk, Black Panther references, etc. And, of course, some of that stuff can be explained when you look at the Phase 3 plans....

VOTD: Find Out What An R-Rated ‘Back To The Future’ Would Be Like By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 11, 2015 6:00 am EST The time traveling adventure Back to the Future is fun for the whole family, the kind of sci-fi film that studios don’t really make anymore. It’s not overtly made for adults, but it’s not exactly geared towards kids either. It hits a sweet spot right in the middle, and that’s part of what makes it so perfect and timeless (no pun intended)....

Watch A Great ‘Roar’ Clip: Tigers And Motorcycles Don’t Mix By Russ Fischer/April 24, 2015 12:15 pm EST In footage from Jurassic World, we see Chris Pratt riding a motorcycle amongst a pack of velociraptors.

‘Best Of Enemies’ Trailer: The Birth Of The Modern TV Argument By Russ Fischer/June 10, 2015 1:00 pm EST It’s rare that we can point to one specific point in time where media really changed; the way we communicate is a flow of evolution rather than a series of specific formative events. But there are some cases where we really can say “it all began here.” One point in time is the set of debates between William F....

‘Denial’ Trailer: Rachel Weisz Fights A Legal Battle Against A Holocaust Denier By Ethan Anderton/June 15, 2016 3:00 pm EST Right now you can see Rachel Weisz starring alongside Colin Farrell in The Lobster, a darkly hilarious romance that is truly original and is best seen knowing as little as possible about the story. But later this year, she’ll bring a true story to life in the form of a Holocaust-centric drama....

Drafthouse Films Will Release Excellent SXSW Thriller ‘The Invitation’ By Russ Fischer/April 6, 2015 12:00 pm EST Director Karyn Kusama returns this year with The Invitation, which impressed the hell out of me when it debuted in the Midnight program at the recent SXSW film festival. The film watches as a couple (Logan Marshall-Green and Emayatzy Corinealdi) heads to a dinner party thrown by the guy’s former wife and her new partner (Tammy Blanchard and Michiel Huisman), where signs quickly begin to suggest that things are very much off with the hosts....
