Trying to stay positive on the idea of a 'Monsters, Inc' sequel. Pixar did exceptionally well with their 'Toy Story' followups, and that almost entirely washes the taste of 'Cars 2' from my mouth. I guess it's kind of fun,…

It seems 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' will indeed feature actors from the franchise's past as well as its future. Just a couple of days ago, it was announced that Sirs …

The second cinematic installment of 'The Hunger Games' book series is already gaining traction as one of the most anticipated films of 2013. The second film, for which Francis Lawrence will be taking over directing duties from Gary…

With a film as high profile as the sequel to J.J. Abrams' 'Star Trek' sequel, certain news bits are almost as eagerly…

I love Bong Joon-ho's 'The Host.' I found it to be an incredibly affecting monster movie. The opening rampage through that riverside community in Korea was, by itself, worth the price of admission. When I heard a sequel was in the works, I was (cautiously) excited. The first footage for 'The Host 2'has just landed…

An internet rumor cropped up today and was squashed before it even really made the rounds. Evidently there was some buzz that Mike Myers was working on a script for 'Wayne's World 3.' This would of course be the third installment of the…

I gotta say, after seeing 'The Hunger Games,' and from the casting reports and other various news bits regarding the sequel, I am stoked to see 'Catching Fire.' This new motion poster for Francis Lawrence's…

When an actor has come to be associated with one role for a long enough period of time, the feeling of restlessness is inevitable and fully understandable. What is a bit more unusual is when that actor grows weary of a high-profile role after only two outings as that character. However, such seems to be the…

I've gone back and forth on the new 'Texas Chainsaw 3D.' The part of me that doesn't hate horror remakes remains optimistic, but the part of me that keeps being forced to look at all the marketing material can't help but feel a sense of impending doom. This latest clip is not helping. I like that it's the first real clip of Leatherface on a rampage, but the overly slick…

I was already excited by the prospect of a Shane Black directed 'Iron Man 3,' but after seeing the first trailer recently, the movie has rocketed its way up my list of most anticipated films of 2013. In particular, I am really interested to see how his first cinematic outing with The Avengers has changed…

Once it was verified that Marc Webb would indeed be coming back to direct the sequel to 'The Amazing Spider-Man,' quickly more…

Though it was pushed back to next spring, with a dubious explanation from the studio, I still cannot wait to see 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation.' It looks like a balls-out action destruction fest and features a hell of a cast ripe with new additions: The Rock,…

Glossing over the fact that Universal missed a major pun opportunity by not calling their upcoming 'Despicable Me' sequel 'Despicable Me Too,'the first teaser trailer for the film has just landed on line. What I like about it is that it plays like its own short film starring the minions. I don't know how much of the footage from the teaser will end up in the movie, as it seems so geared…

Dean Parisot's 'Red 2,' the sequel to the 2010 spy comedy, is currently in production. The story will once again follow our favorite retiree secret agents (Bruce Willis,…

Last week, actor Frank Grillo stoked the fires of internet rumor when he posted a cryptic tweet about visiting "Marvel" in L.A. He further fanned the flames by tagging the tweet #CaptainAmerica, closing that it would "be cool if it…

It looks like we're about to find out what else is best in life. After nearly thirty years, Arnold Schwarzenegger will return to the role of Conan, the barbarian sword-swinger that helped put him on…
