All of this comes in lieu of the travesty that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary. A change of Heart, a change of film.  

William Fichtner has confirmed that he indeed will be playing the super villain in Michael Bay’s reboot of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This movie has had a lot of fans up in arms about what is going on with it considering that Bay was attempting to change the entire origin premise of the turtles around.  

How long have we waited for this sequel? This film is hands down one of the most quotable of all time. The new trailer was put out today and it looks fantastic. I know I am not the only one in saying that I am beyond excited for this.  

The Weinstein Co./Dimension Films has announced that they are pushing the released date for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For to August 22nd 2014. This is the second installment of the comic based film directed by Robert Rodriguez. The film was slated to open in October of this year.

You heard it folks, Disney is in talks about creating Star Wars land. This shouldn’t come as a surprise considering this is going to be the next major installment in their epic list of franchises. Theme Park Insider stated that they have heard from multiple different sources that Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be starting construction soon.  

I’m going to first state that I have set my expectations for this film very low. My expectations were in fact so low that anything I saw would have been better than I expected. Being a comic fanatic I feel this is the mentality most fans should walk into these movies with. I say this in case the film is terrible so fans aren’t left heart-broken. This being said, I was surprisingly pleased with what I saw.

On the eve of the opening of this film fans are sitting with their fingers crossed. We are all cautiously optimistic about how this film goes. It look beautiful, that cannot be denied, however the real testament to dedication lies within the story. IGN interviewed Russel Crowe about his role as Jor-El. From what I’ve watched and heard I feel like it’s very important that Crowe decided to take his own opinions on his portrayal. An actors connection to a character is key to an excellent execution of a story line.  

Oh. My. God. This. Looks. So. Ridiculously. Epic.
