It's the talk of the town and it's hard to not be excited for this new film starring X Men star James Macavoy and Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe. The trailer for Viktor Frankenstein, shows a bit of a spin on the traditional story telling of the Frankenstein monster's origins as well as the role igor will play. Get ready for some humor and monstrous action when this film debuts November 25th, 2015! The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was originally a spy television series that ran from 1964 to 1968 but it's recent remake gives us a look at a fun spy era that's long gone. The movie follows an American criminal turned C.I.A. agent as he works along side Russia's best KGB agent as they try to stop a nuclear war. The movie, starring Batman v. Superman's Henry Cavill, The Social Networks Armie Hammer and Alicia Vikander from Ex Machina, is both fun, stylish and creative. This is also Armie Hammer's most enjoyable role after a rough few roles and on high profile one, in the past few years. Directed by Guy Ritchie, known for Snatch, RocknRolla and the Sherlock Holmes series starring Robert Downey Jr., his signature quick cut's compliment this fun summer film perfectly and if you're into cars, action and humor, this is a must see. While it did debut over the weekend (to modest numbers) it's still a fun ride and one that will hopefully see a sequel in the next few years. Check out the trailer below and make sure you catch this film in theaters this summer! Get ready for mayhem, all over again. The trailer for Gears of War: Ultimate edition debuted today featuring the song, Mad World by Gary Jules, recreating the original launch trailer with some brand new scenes and super clean graphics. The song, that has become sort of iconic with the series, also appeared twice in the 3rd title of the series. Take a trip down memory lane with the trailer and check out the original trailer below that. Gears of War: Ultimate edition launches August 25th, 2015. Titans are coming your way sooner than we originally thought! We knew that the two part live action Attack on Titan series was heading stateside but now we finally have a theatrical release date (partially thanks to the success of the latest Dragon Ball Z film). Attack on Titan part 1 will be released September 30th while the second film will be released just shy of a month later on October 20th! Although the manga is immensely popular, some of the reviews for the film haven't been so favorable. Either way, get excited for some over the top action this fall!

Rarely have I seen a movie that I wanted to walk out of twenty minutes after the first began but this was certainly the one I wish I had but, before we talk about the fantastic failure that was Fox's Fantastic Four, let's talk about everything surrounding this massive wreck of a film. It all seemed to fall apart when director Josh Trank tweeted this tweet out, stating that we'll probably never see the "fantastic version," the director had originally created, which was supported by a lot of rumors over recent months of extensive re-shoots, a lot of which could be felt throughout the film. (Note: Kate Mara's wig) Aside from this and behind the scenes clashing between the studio and Trank himself, there's a surprising number of scenes from the original trailer released that never made the finished film. (seriously, take a look) As for the movie itself, as of no fault of any one of the actors, this movie was a complete and utter foul ball who's only redeeming quality came in the first fifteen minutes featuring child versions of Dr. Reed and Ben Grimm. So little actually happens in the film itself that it's almost hard to write about. It's, in its most complex form, several of your favorite super heroes, working along side a villain, get drunk and transport themselves to a planet (and someone, in a room full of people, Sue's computer is the only one notified about this happening), leave the villain, get mutated, Dr Reed runs away to some remote jungle location, is found by Benn a.k.a. the thing, and then is forced to go back to this other mutation causing dimension, to fight the villain who's become some strange, psychic robot who fused with his super suit. The rest of the movies pacing is literally so off beat that none of the relationships, aside from those two characters, feel anything near legitimate. Victor hates Sue but we don't really understand why, Victor hate's Reed towards the end for being smarter than him, Johnny doesn't get anywhere near the charismatic comic book character or even Chris Evan's version from the original two film franchise, Ben hates Reed in the middle but forgives him during the most boring villains boss fight I've ever seen in a comic book more (yes, even more boring than Thor vs. The Destroyer from Marvel's Thor film, and Sue get's a budding romance that's oddly never acknowledged again. (which may or may not have been a good thing) The movie felt recycled and with little effort, featuring a senselessly dark murder scene with Dr. Doom, hardly any actual applications of anyone's powers and lots of strange moments like the government immediately sending civilians to this planet knowing what it's done to Dr. Reed and gang or even Dr Doom's black hole implosion, which occurred in another dimension, which I'm not really sure where that leaves him? On top of the abysmal film that was released, the movie itself was a total box office bomb, bringing in only 26.2 million dollars, which is unheard of for a comic book movie in recent years and with the reviews and a 9% of rottentomatoes, (Which might be the most impressive thing about this film) it doesn't seem like this movies going to recover anytime soon. Looks like it might be time to hand over all of these film rights to their parent company, Marvel, where they might get the film they deserve.
