Here’s the Alien Revenge Plan from Independence Day: Resurgence

Unlike almost every other movie commercial released yesterday, Independence Day: Resurgence actually packed its with some new footage. And an explanation of the way the aliens are going to get back at us. It is, of course, completely absurd. I just want to point out that capping off a performance of the American National Anthem,…

Bus Explosion Scares Londoners Who Don’t Know It’s a Movie Stunt

Yesterday Londoners got a fright when they saw a double-decker bus explode on a bridge over the Thames River. Some people immediately thought it was a terrorist attack.

Pixar has lost one of its most talented screenwriters. Daniel Gerson, who co-wrote both Big Hero 6 and the Monsters Inc. movies, passed away this weekend after a battle with brain cancer. He was 49.

Everything We’ve Figured Out About the Mysterious 10 Cloverfield Lane

Just like its predecessor, 10 Cloverfield Lane arrived out of nowhere and made us put together tiny clues. But with the footage that aired during the Super Bowl, we think we’ve finally got a handle on it. You can watch it all here, but what stands out immediately is that for movie with a cast…

The X-Men Sure Do Look Screwed in Apocalypse

The X-Men: Apocalypse Super Bowl spot really focuses on the “apocalypse” part of the title. Both the character and the general levels of destruction the X-Men are totally failing to prevent. Contact the author at [email protected].

Even Krang Cannot Save Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 from Itself

Hey, look it’s Krang! He looks pretty good. The rest of this movie looks like it in no way improves on the first one, though. Love the gratuitous “sexy” Megan Fox shot in the middle. Oh, did I say love? I meant it makes me vomit every time they use it. Which has been every…

Even Friends Will Hunt You Down in the Jungle Book Trailer

We’ve been waiting for the animals other than Kaa to get significant dialogue in Jungle Book forever now. And we’ve finally got it. Bill Murray’s Baloo is great. Christopher Walken’s King Louie is… Christopher Walken. Disney seems to be referencing another animal movie of theirs with Shere Khan’s animal assembly. Just saying. Also, that’s one…

Travel to Metropolis and Gotham City In Two Faux Commercials For Batman v Superman

It’s Super Bowl Sunday and that means football, food and commercials. It also means movie previews and two of the first to air were for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, these weren’t just your straightforward trailers. These were commercials for Turkish Airlines, who have a promotional deal with the film. Each commercial is…

Who’s the Weakest Supervillain of All Time?

We’re finally getting superhero movies and TV shows that live up to the wonder and thrill of comics. But despite a few really great bad guys, supervillains still aren’t getting their due. A lot of baddies are just kind of… there. But who’s the weakest supervillain of all time? Please include a picture, comics panel,…

Virtuosity Was Ridiculous in 1995, But Now It’s a Blast

When it was released in 1995, Virtuosity (from director Brett Leonard, who’d already explored virtual reality in 1992’s Lawnmower Man) was a bomb, despite the star power of Denzel Washington and an up-and-comer named Russell Crowe. In 2016, it’s now hilariously dated—but that actually makes it way more entertaining to watch. So, the LAPD is…

The Deadpool Movie Marketing Is Out of Control

I don’t know if any of you guys have heard about it, but there’s a Deadpool movie coming to theaters. Just so you know. They’ve been pretty restrained in promoting it. But I jest. The Deadpool marketing has been good, but for me (and I get that my job means I am exposed to it…

For the second time in a single week, there’s news of a MacGyver project. Different MacGyver projects. One a TV show and now a movie. And we’re kind of dumbfounded. The first news was an update on a story from last year. In October, news broke that Furious 7 and Saw director James Wan was…

Everything You Need to Know About Apocalypse Before His X-Men Movie Debut

Apocalypse is weird. He’s arguably the X-Men’s most powerful foe, but he’s not the most famous; he has a generic name, hard-to-defined powers, and his motives change a lot. And now he’s also going to be the big bad of the next X-Men film! Here’s a helpful primer before Apocalypse (the movie and the character)…

If Movies Ended When a Character Says the Movie Title They’d Be Hilariously Short

Chris Huebs came up with the brilliant idea to re-edit popular movies to end right after a character says the title of the movie. So when the audience is welcomed to Jurassic Park, boom the credits roll. When you meet the fellowship of the ring, bam it ends. It’s a hilarious gag because the title…

Five years ago, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was a runaway literary hit, with its gimmick of inserting the undead into Jane Austen winning lots of people over.
