Our look back at the stand out moments in phase one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brought us to some… interesting places. Now we have more to come with phase two. If you look through this roster of films, few would consider it to be the MCU’s best era. But that’s the great part about…
Vinyl better make room (maybe just a little) because it’s not the only old school medium that music enthusiasts are using these days. Last year showed a 35 percent increase in the sales of cassette tapes with 174,000 units sold in the US, according to Nielsen’s year-end report. If you’re wondering who to thank for…

(This post contains spoilers from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and The Walking Dead season 3.) Michael Rooker seems like a good guy.

If I had to pinpoint one month that represented why I love going to the movies, it would be May. May movies are loud, fun, colorful, and meant to be seen on the big screen. Two years ago I wrote how Marvel has a hold on the month that represents the beginning of the summer blockbuster season….
Those of you who have seen a few of the Marvel movies in the recent years will have noticed that there is a tradition of the After Credits Cut Scene. These tidbits, while often giving only a little away in terms of story, occupy the highest altar in the Marvel fandom, as they help people…

Among Marvel’s ongoing harshest criticisms, which are just a few petty issues considering their repetitive successes, involves their lack of noteworthy villains (Loki and Winter Soldier aside). While not every film can’t have a Heath Ledger Joker, most of Marvel’s villains are as disposable and hollow as paper cups. We’ve all seen them make a…

Well, the summer movie season has come to an anticlimactic close and while the kiddies are back to school and stay at home moms/dads revert to afternoon boozing and reality television, we ready ourselves for Oscar season. But before we go any further, we must look back and reflect on the high tides and shallow…
What is it that draws us to the idea of superheroes? Granted, we live in a world where true heroism exists in many ways like those clad in blue on the streets of our cities or in combat boots away far in foreign deserts. But we long to see the extraordinaire in cape, costume, and mask. Is…
Blockbuster fever is officially in full swing and this summer, Guardians of the Galaxy has won our hearts and our money. It’s probably the most charming Marvel movie ever made.

As predicted, following the success of Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel has established itself as the breakout studios that can do no wrong.
