One thing has been proven since the opening of early ticket sales for Marvel’s Avengers: End Game. The weekend box-office premier for this film could make history if projections prove to be accurate. The fact that the opening day of tickets sales brought about locked up servers and long waits for tickets only proved what what experts have been saying, this film will be HUGE! But don’t take my word for it (although you should). That is the opinion of three of the leading box office analysts when discussing the audiences hunger for this film. BoxOffice Chief Analyst Shawn Robbins…

As we pull into the home stretch before the release of Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, you have no doubt heard that the Russo’s strategy to reduce stress on the actors and the possibility of a slip of the tongue (yes, that means you Tom Holland). They do that by only giving the actors the parts of the script that pertains to them. By doing so, they remove the need for an actor to possibly reveal something they shouldn’t because they don’t know the whole story. The disadvantage to that plan is it more often than not requires more direction on their…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”20071″ img_size=”778×600″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When Marvel’s Black Panther exploded onto the scene, it made an instant star out of the young actress who played King T’Challa’s genius kid sister Princess Shuri. Letitia Wright stole hearts and scenes with her spirited portrayal of the brains behind Wakanda’s vast technology. With that fame, it was assumed that Wright would be offered many roles and while she has been, she has been very selective in her choices. Now we learn through The Hollywood Reporter that one role she has accepted is Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile. She will be…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”20079″ img_size=”800×400″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When you’ve played the same character of a number of films and years, it is only natural that a certain exhaustion might set in. Especially when you feel you’ve done what you can with the character. That was the position Chris Hemsworth described he was in after playing Thor over a number of pictures and especially after Thor: The Dark World. In a recent interview with Yahoo Movies UK, he explained the mindset he was in after the second Thor solo film. …tonally, we never quite landed on what [The Dark World] should have been. It became…

So now that we have survived the anticipation of an event that was almost two years in the making, the question is now, What did we learn from Season 8, Episode One: “Winterfell” Here’s some of it but not all: 1)Well for starters, The North was not happy that Jon Snow left them to try to recruit Denaerys Targaryen. He was supposed to be THEIR King. That was a point that both Lyanna Mormont and Sansa were more than happy to remind him of. What they failed to realize was that even though Jon Snow was flattered that they chose…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”19770″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]So we finally reached the season premier of Game of Thrones. So what happened? Well….only one person died that we had seen before (The poor Umber boy) so that was very un – Game of Thrones. However, a bunch of truths were revealed. Mostly thanks to that life of the party Bran. But more on him later. We opened with the Unsullied, Denaerys, Jon, the Dothraki, and the two Dragons making their arrival to Winterfell. Sansa extended a reluctant welcome but the Northerners were not happy to see their guests. Why? They were not Northerners. Sansa is not…

If there is one thing that I have written about in the past that I find amusing is the inevitable need for a  Comic Villain to monologue. This is brilliantly explained in the first Incredibles in this conversation between Mr. Incredible and Frozone: Frozone: So now I’m in deep trouble. I mean, one more jolt of this death ray and I’m an epitaph. Somehow I manage to find cover and what does Baron von Ruthless do? Mr. Incredible: He starts monologuing? (chuckles) Frozone: He starts monologuing! Mr. Incredible: Yep! (laughs) Frozone: He starts like, this prepared speech about how “feeble”…

When you’re the Emperor in the Star Wars Universe, or at least you used to be before some asthmatic guy in a black helmet tossed you into the abyss, you apparently retain your powers of clairvoyance. That appeared to be the case with Star Wars’ Ian McDiarmid, who was revealed Friday to have reprised his role as Emperor Palpatine in saga finale Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. As it turns out, McDiarmid maybe predicted his return to the franchise in a September 2017 interview with BBC Scotland. This came when he was asked if he thought he would ever get…
