Major Star Wars News

Posted on August 15, 2015 by Q

The Disney D23 celebration did not disappoint this year. For one, Disneyland announced the creation of a 14 acre fully Star Wars themed land to be opening up in the near future.

Also making its debut today was the official poster from the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens; a beautifully drawn poster that looks to be much in the vein of its predecessors. The poster also shows us that Finn will either be a Jedi or at the very least wield a lightsaber in the film. You can view both posters below:

Straight Outta Compton- The Prediction

Posted on August 12, 2015 by Q

Here we go again with my second prediction for how well a movie will fare at the box office. This time, we are going to be talking about the upcoming music biopic Straight Outta Compton. The film follows the meteoric rise of one of the first “gangsta” rap groups NWA. The film follows them from their meager beginnings to their multiple run-ins with the law to sell out concerts, featuring their anthem “F— the Police”, a song which seems to be gaining momentum again with the current unrest in so many places in America.

But I digress; this article is supposed to be about how the movie will do financially and critically. The movie has been advertised well, and it seems that there is a fair amount of interest in the film. The one drawback? Violence, some will be driven away from seeing the film because they are afraid that a film like this might bring violence with it much like Boyz in the Hood did in the early 90’s. It is enough of a threat that Universal has basically said that they support any extra security that theaters would like to employ. I think that this might hurt the movie a bit, but not kill its opening weekend, so here goes:

 

Rotten Tomatoes– Critics- 67%, Audience- 81%

 

Domestic Gross- Opening Weekend- 35mil, Total Gross- 128mil

Revenant Trailer Shows First Look at Hugh Glass Story

Posted on August 8, 2015 by avacadoguacamole

The upcoming movie The Revenant, staring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, is based on the story of legendary frontiersman and explorer Hugh Glass. After watching the trailer, the movie seems to be making an honest attempt at portraying the incredible story of the survival and exploration of legendary explorer. If you are not familiar with his story I encourage a brief visit to Wikipedia in order to grasp some of what he went through in his life. It includes a vicious bear attack that almost left him dead, and many deadly encounters with Native Americans and the hardships of the wilderness. His story is truly amazing and if the movie delivers this on screen it will be a most excellent film. View the trailer for yourself below:

Deadpool trailer arrives

Posted on August 8, 2015 by Q

Yes, I know I’m late on this, but last week we finally got our first look at the much-anticipated Deadpool film, and I must say, it seems that they have nailed the spirit of the character. Hopefully, this movie will erase the memory of how the character was nearly destroyed on film in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. You can see for yourself on the link below (I have posted the link to the green band trailer, if you want to watch the red band trailer [which is probably better] keep watching until the end of the trailer and there will be a link.)
