Brief hiatus

In a short while I will be off for my vacation so there most likely won't be any updates on here this upcoming week. I am positive I will miss some news and whatever else but I will catch up as I always do.

Everyone have a good week!

The Amazing Spiderman 2 casting news surfaces

We have announcements already for the sequel to The Amazing Spiderman. Apparently Marc Webb will return to direct despite a lot of rumors that he wasn't going to and Andrew Garfield will reprise his role as Peter Parker/Spiderman. Emma Stone is in negotiations to return as well but is not confirmed yet.

I still haven't seen The Amazing Spiderman so I most likely won't see the sequel in theaters,

Final Paranormal Activity 4 trailer premieres

The Paranormal Activity franchise has been successful primarily due to the fact that they utilize trailers and make them seem interesting and/or good. I have never been a fan of these movies but I did admit that I thought the trailer for Paranormal Activity 3 made it look decent. However, that movie was just as much of a shit show as the previous ones were.
With that said, the trailer for

Gina Carano to lead female version of The Expendables

This was rumored a couple months ago and I don't think I talked about it. Basically they were talking about doing a female version of The Expendables. Collider had a fantasy cast that I saw back in August, but now we have confirmation that one of their wish girls has been cast to lead the rest of the ladies. That girl is none other than former American Gladiators star Gina Carano.

Carano was

First trailer for The Collection

So if you didn't see The Collector you probably have no idea what is going on. However, if you did see it then this is the inevitable sequel we all knew was coming. Ladies and gentlemen... The Collection.

Personally, I liked The Collector for what it was. I thought it was pretty well done. This movie, however, looks like a mixture of Saw and trying to re-create the first one. Then again, it's

Thanos confirmed for two Marvel Phase 2 films

If you saw The Avengers you know Thanos appeared in the mid-credits scene. There was a lot of speculation as to where Thanos would show up in future Marvel films. There is now confirmation that Thanos will appear in two Marvel Phase 2 films; Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers 2.

I assumed/guessed Thanos wouldn't appear sooner than Guardians of the Galaxy and I am happy to see that I was

Oscar nominations to precede Golden Globes in 2013

The powers that be who run the Academy Awards have shuffled things for the 2013 awards season. Usually nominations for the Academy Awards follow the Golden Globes, but in 2013 the Oscar nominees will be announced on January 10th which puts the announcement 3 days before the Globes. This is a good movie, imo. The Golden Globes always seem to be more playful than serious and I think they always had

Finding Nemo 3D - Review

I am a pretty big Disney fan in general, but I absolutely love Disney/Pixar flicks. I decided to go see Finding Nemo 3D seeing that I already saw Beauty and the Beast 3D earlier this year. I am not necessarily reviewing the movie itself because Finding Nemo is awesome and has been for years, but I wanted to touch on the Toy Story short, Partysaurus Rex, before the movie and the 3D itself.

No Director's Cut for The Dark Knight Rises

Despite previous rumors that we were going to get an extended director's cut Blu-Ray for The Dark Knight Rises, with around 30min of extra footage, it has now been confirmed that we will not. Christopher Nolan doesn't seem one for director's cut releases and I guess he isn't about to start now.

I was looking forward to seeing Bane's origin story and whatever else was within that 30 minutes, but

Other than the assumed return of Sebastian Stan as Bucky

Twilight - Breaking Dawn Part 2 VMA Trailer premieres

The newest trailer for The Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiered last night at the MTV Video Music Awards. The show itself was meh, despite Kevin Hart being hilarious, and so was this trailer. All I really had to say after watching it was at least they added a fight at the end. The ending of the book pissed me off because nothing happens. The Volturi basically show themselves to be a
