Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – NEW RUMORS!!!!!

Callan Mulvey- 300 Rise of an Empire star –

        So the latest rumor is that, 300 sequel star, Callan Mulvey has been added to the list of actors to ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ but has yet to be named as a character, right now it’s just being said that he is in a newly created role for the film. TMZ is reporting that he might be playing the Joker!! (Based on a picture posted to instagram and twitter this week) I see him more as two face or the riddler, but regardless it’ll be cool to see what role this aussy actor plays in the film. With all the Heroes named, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and cyborg, Lex Luthor will need some help in the Villian department to make this movie more balanced. Stayed tuned for more rumors and news. Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day!!

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice… Speculation!!

I’ve been pondering the title of the upcoming Man of Steel sequel and I came across this. I’d have to say it explains a lot….. Possibly Batman coming to Metropolis looking for the Last Son of Krypton, maybe stopping by a small town in Kansas….. I look at it as a beacon, Superman has awaken the planet to the existence of aliens and much greater threats than it has ever seen before. Does it draw attention to earth for other galaxy travelers? All the news coming out just keeps raising more questions. Is Bruce after Superman for a specific reason, is he hired by someone? I wasn’t the happiest when I saw the new title but this gives me more hope as to the direction and content of the movie. I’m still searching everywhere for news on the Justice League tie in, Snyder is the type of director that has things mapped out before he makes a step, I’m sure cast and ideas are already in INK, but we’ll have to keep watching and see what is going on with the Batman v Superman camp! Have a great night and as always keep checking in for more news, rumors and opinions as to the latest Batman v Supeman: Dawn of Justice movie.

Godzilla – Movie Review

So, I can tell you right off the bat that this is not the typical Godzilla movie. Yes the action is what you would expect to see from a new era Sci-Fi movie, but the story is what really caught my attention. I’m not going to give any details away or spoilers on this one. This might not be the best movie of the year but it’s definitely one you’ll want not to miss. As the picture shows, Godzilla shooting plasma fire from it’s mouth is pretty cool, even if you’re in his path. I saw yesterday that there is already a sequel in the mix, so don’t miss out, this movie was made for the theaters, something I’ve been missing from movies lately. I don’t need to own every movie that comes out or think that every movie that comes out needs to be a favorite, but it should at least make your fifteen dollars feel worth it. Godzilla will keep you interested and will have you walking away satisfied. I’ll be posting a more detailed review later, but for now I don’t want to spoil the movie or point out all the holes. But if you want the details, I’ll have them up tomorrow. Have a great night everyone.

X-Men Days of Future Past Movie Review!! NEW!!

I wasn’t really sure what to think about this film when I first heard about it, first off it’s directed by Bryan Singer, which I don’t know if I’ll ever forgive for Superman Returns, but forget all the accusations at the moment. I never like to attach a grouping of creative minds and talent to one name, but that is the way the social group thinks now of days. With all that said and just an overview of the movie and talent associated, I’ll have to say I greatly enjoyed the movie. The die hard fans will have issues, as we always do, but now knowing what to expect and not expect from a comic movie adaptation after the last decade of trial and error, I personally can sit back and look at the story as a stand alone and give an opinion on acting and how the actual movie progresses. Hugh Jackman pulls off the role of Logan/Wolverine with grace at this point, with Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy both reprising the roles of Professor Charles Xavier (Professor X). Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender reprise the role of Eric Lehnsherr/Magneto and a huge supporting cast including, Halle Berry (Storm), Peter Dinklage (Dr. Trask), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique/Raven), Anna Paquin (Rogue), Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde), Shawn Ashmore (Iceman), Omar Sy (Bishop), Evan Peters (QuickSilver), Josh Helman (Maj. Stryker), Lucas Till (Havok), Booboo Stewart (Warpath), Adan Canto (Sunspot), Bingbing Fan (Blink), Daniel Cudmore (Colossus), and many many more.
       It was very hard to turn away from the screen, even the slower parts were filled with slick dialog and great acting. The action scenes were everything and more than we’ve come to expect with a slight more realism than past comic movies, including Singers previous releases. The Movie starts right in the action and brings you to a quick spot of understanding and does it without having to have an hour of dialog and backstory, then almost restarts again on another tempo and builds upon that through out the entire movie with a great climatic scene of events in the end. I can say after seeing it, that no role was wasted, everyone seemed to feel like they belonged and that they were really a part of the whole story…. a great way of showing the impact on lives the events of the story detail.
       Now as far as family orientated, I’d say this was the least kid friendly X-Men movie. There are a few really graphic scenes, or maybe that was the way the characters made me react, I’ll have to say there are about four scenes that just made me choke up. But overall it felt a little more adult orientated with little to no showing of students or children. I felt comfortable taking my 7 and 5 year old, but there were a few scenes where I distracted them from the screen for a moment. There was a little foul language but other than that, I felt comfortable watching the movie with them. 
        Will Bryan Singers accusations against him affect the film? I hope not, more so that I hope he didn’t do it, but if he did, I hope people can judge a movie based on the entire cast and process and not just the actions of one man.
             Well, that’s it for me for now, I’ll post some more in depth reviews later, Have a great night!

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice – RUMORS

So, admidst all the rumors and possible outcomes, this picture gets uploaded by Stephen Amell, aka: Arrow, on CW’s apply named show, to his facebook page, needless to say it’s started a huge rumor mill on who and what we might see in Warners DC adaptations. Since the sucess of Smallville, CW has picked up a few DC themed shows, Arrow is going in to it’s third season now has been such a sucess that it has now spawned a Flash spinoff. Both Green Arrow and Flash are members of the Justice League and it would be very hard to make a Justice League movie without either. Does this mean we might see some TV roles carried to the big screen? I for one hope so! Stephen is great as the arrow and Grant Gustin looks great as the speedster so far. I for one will be hoping that this is the outcome, not only as Stephen Amell plays a fantastic Arrow on screen but seems to personify the Emerald Archer off screen as well. If you haven’t checked the TV show out, I’d highly recommend it and I’ll be waiting anxiously for Flash this fall. If you need filler until Batman v. Superman hits the screen, these are going to be perfect! Have a great day everyone!

More BIG news!!! Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice!

It seems DC and warner brothers along with Zack Snyder, can not keep from giving more big news everyday when it concerns the Justice League. Today it was made official that filming will begin on the Justice League Movie right after Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. There has not been any further casting news, as of yet but that will surely change as filming continues on Dawn of Justice. I’m most interested in seeing exactly which characters will be appearing, any bets on whether Aqua Man is in it or not? LOL But all laughs aside this is great news and as always, I’ll keep you updated as the stories progress! Have a great night!

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

So with all the hype surrounding Batman and his suit, there hasn’t been much focus on how exactly the Caped Crusader is going to handle the Man of Steel. Will they introduce Kryptonite, Did Bruce know about the possible existence of Kal-El? It’s even been rumored that Batman will have multiple suits and possibly multiple batmobiles, we might even see a batplane, but it’s all just rumors as of now. More importantly, I wonder if all the kryptonian tech was destroyed, it seems at the end that the birthing ship crashed but wasn’t sucked up with the rest as we see the wreckage in the background as Kal-El and Zod face off. I’m sure Lex and Bats would have their hands all over that! Batman in a kryptonian armor suit would be an interesting angle. I can see many ways that the writers and directors can go, I just hope they decide to actually take some brave risks, if any movie, besides Star Wars EPVII, needs to swing for the stars, it’s this one. This pair up in a lot of fans eye’s is bigger than the Avengers, Fantastic Four, Spiderman and The X-Men all rolled up together. I’ll keep updating more info and I’m also going to get a little more in depth with the characters and see if we can take a glimpse at what might be. Have a great night everyone.

CW’s new lineup of DC Comics shows.

 

I just watched the trailer again for the upcoming Flash TV show on CW’s new fall lineup and I’m pretty excited for this series. Not only did they pick a great person for the role but if Arrow’s first few seasons are any indication then we should expecting some pretty good writing mixed with some good special effects and quite a few decent cameos. It’s said that Arrow’s star, Stephen Amell will play a recurring role and that is fine with me. Stephen has proven to be a good Arrow and has actually turned a fan out of me. I’ve never been a huge Green Arrow fan but this show has given me some more understanding of the character. My hopes are that Flash will do the same. Flash has always been one of my top 5’s but it’ll be good to get his character out there a little more and show some of the cool things Flash can do. I sure hope we get to see Mr. Freeze…. the tag for the show says that there will be other metahumans on the show that were given powers during the lightning storm and the other events that lead to the creation of, The Fastest Man Alive!!

NEW!! ‘Batman V. Superman: Dawn of justice’

Good Afternoon everyone! It’s looks like the studio has finally made a decision on the title on the Man of Steel 2 Movie as Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
  The title alone gives us some more hope on the direction that they are taking with this film. Dawn of Justice…. With the already news that there will be Wonder Woman and Cyborg, it’s just a matter of time, I think, before we start hearing about upcoming actors and roles being attached. Or will DC decide to take the route and add characters but leave them with quick scenes and little mention other than a name or maybe some little easter egg, seems Snyder really likes the little hidden gems. I’m also curious as to the choice of V. Instead of vs or VS, which in my mind is reserved for boxing and other type events, does that mean that Batman and Superman will actually have a battle? I see a lot of issues in syncing this all together but I just have to keep reminding myself that this like most other new superhero movies are not mimics of their comic counterparts but variations with their own stories and content. That gives the directors a huge advantage and makes it easier to blend a movie rather than a character. This will upset a lot of fanbase for the Man of Steel but the majority of Batman fans are happy. Will it be comic accurate, as in current and other canon and not just solely on a Frank Miller type characters, or will they just go nuts and create all kinds of new things? For me, I’m not greatly excited as I know Frank Miller to not be a huge Superman fan and his storyline didn’t make Superman fans rejoice, but will Snyder realize that and blend the versions and make something great? That is what is going to either make or break this film, don’t forget, Superman and Batman fans are split across all forms of nerdom and geekship. No matter what your preference is in comics you will have an opinion on these two characters. But if this movie will lead us to a Justice League movie, then we will eventually see these two superpowers join and create the worlds greatest force against evil. That’s worth waiting for! Hope you are all having a great night and stay tuned for more news on this and other upcoming movies as the stories break.

P.S. I’m not always the first to post, I like to let the news sink in and think about it before I just blurt out, WHAT?! Ben Affleck is going to beat up SUPERMAN?!!! LOL

Ryan Reynolds to reprise Deadpool?

Well, X-Men Movie producers say Ryan Reynolds is still Deadpool. I did like him in Wolverine Origins but his performances as of late have been lackluster. We don’t even need to mention Green Lantern. With the mask on it might be something completely different, but needless to say I’m excited that Deadpool will be in some X-Men movie in the near future. Hopefully that means that he won’t be reprising the role of Green Lantern (lol) in a Justice League movie. Highly unlikely DC would choose to take that direction anyway. It’s curious to think as to what direction the Marvel producers are taking with all the news lately coming out of the studios, Channing Tatum to be playing Gambit and rumors of a needed wolverine reboot without Hugh Jackman, just to name a few. We’ll see how well the latest installment does here in a few weeks and hopefully get a glimpse at what’s in the works. It would have been really cool to see a Hugh Jackman Wolverine somehow involved with the avengers but it looks like they are staying pretty conventional. But you never know, with Star Wars EPVII upcoming and it’s spin offs there will be some competition for ratings and it might lead to some bold moves. This for one gives a little sway to the bold idea. Good luck Marvel and Ryan Reynolds.
