Over the last few weeks, Sony and Marc Webb have been working to get the cast in place for their 'Amazing Spider-Man' sequel. Namely, they…

Now that the Spider-Man franchise has been rebooted, and in many ways made a clean break from the Sam Raimi films, it seems the time is right to start bringing back into the fray more mainstay characters who played…

Let's face it, Superman is in a horrible place in today's society. He might be the original superhero and the classic example of what superheroes can be but like Captain America's deal in The Avengers, things have changed in the seventy or seventy-five years that have past us by as a…

So, Steven Spielberg was originally gonna make Harry Potter and americanize the fuck out of it.. A group of fellow Spillios and I, during a late-night skype call imagined what would the worst possible cast be (back in 2001). 45 minutes later, we come up with this.



Haley Joel Osment as Harry Potter

Ed O'Neill as Hagrid

Adam Sandler as Voldemort

Tara Reid as Hermione Granger

David Spade as Ron…

When Sony had said to the world that Sam Raimi and company had given up on the Spider-Man franchise, fans would shed tears as it was announced that it was going the Batman Begins route of rebooting the entire series after only three movies and five years following the previous film. Not only…

Who says movies aren't magical anymore? What? No one says that? Well, ok. In any event, both Summit and Columbia are putting together films about one of history's greatest magicians: Harry Houdini. Interestingly, the directors vying for these respective projects are …

Unfortunately, I have never ventured to Comic-Con. I have always wanted to and will some day (according to my bucket list). Might I add, this documentary has whetted my appetite toward the experience in more ways than before. What brings geek culture together is conventions. It is place where fans of…

We finally have another epic story that can take the Harry Potter formula to the next logical step. Harry Potter was a phenomenon unlike any other. It got an entire generation to read, it broke all grounds in terms of what Hollywood epics were capable of, and it…

BEST FILMS OF 2011

By ARMY 1601

Seeing as Awards Season is over,…

DISCLAIMER: I would like to say that due to my unfortunate location and inability to see so many of the other big movies that came out this year due to time or place, these are the movies that I've seen this year and that I've enjoyed the most and were released this year.

10. Super 8. Despite the ending being a bit of a whimper, I must admit that this movie was such a great thrill ride of a mystery that pays a beautiful tribute to the classic Spielberg films…

Well, it feels like just yesterday that 2011 just started. Now it’s December and the year is nearly over and I have to say, it’s been quite an impressive year for movies in my opinion. Sure, the two previous years were quite good too however this year had a great amount of films that were either, good, great, or even amazing. And that’s what this list is all about the amazing films of 2011. There were so many good films this year; I felt a top ten would not be enough for some of my personal…

This past week, I found myself doing a retrospective marathon of sorts with the Harry Potter films.  I wasn't planning on doing this; it just kind of happened after I received my box set of the eight film collection.  While I could go into reviewing the product itself, I feel like I should avoid doing so.  After all, this is a cash-grab…

Tuesday is new release day for Blu-ray and DVDs and while I'm not always timely about getting these things mentioned right away (to be fair, the studios often don't even send me the movies/tv seasons until the day or two before), I'm going to start trying to at least give you a rundown of, "The Big Three": the cream of each week's crop as selected by me. Naturally, there's going to be some amount of 'but what about...?' and possibly even completely uncalled for derision.…

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2' will hit store shelves on Nov. 11. If you liked the film, or any of the other entries in the franchise, we suggest you buy them all pretty damn quick.…

I've never been the sort of person who decides where to buy a Blu-ray or DVD based on the exclusive bonus content that a given store is providing with the release. But after watching this trailer for the documentary 'When Harry Left Hogwarts,' that may change rapidly. The documentary is a special feature exclusive to Target's release of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2' and is a very…

We all knew Ned Flanders wasn't who he seemed to be.

Breaking Bad is owned by AMC

The Simpsons is owned by Fox

This is something I've pondered on quite a lot. I read the Harry Potter series, just like most other people who grew up with them, or had children who did, and quite quickly picked up on J.K. Rowling's ultimate point; racism is bad. My discovery of course shocked the literary world. Despite the fact that the Death Eaters, their message, and the…

This Article is Spoiler Free (for the latest movie at least.)

There is no nice way to put this.  I did not like this movie.  It’s not a bad movie.  I’m not saying avoid this movie.  But to me, this movie was on part with Star Wars: Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith.

WHAT?!  You can’t say that about Harry Potter!

Well I just did.

When long lasting…

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 review

Before I start with my thoughts on this particular film here, I should probably state my thoughts on the Harry Potter film franchise itself. Now, I didn’t grow up with Harry Potter as much as everyone else did, it never interested me and I was into other things as a kid and a teenager. With that being said, I did decided to watch all the Harry Potter films over the summer, not just because of Deathly Hallows Part 2…
