Mike Sampson — Thu, 16 May 2013 15:25:33 +0000

With all the Pixar sequels in the works, many fans have been left asking why we're not getting an 'Incredibles 2.'

'Pirates of the Caribbean 5′ Director: Who's in the Running for the Job?

Jacob Hall — Wed, 15 May 2013 21:55:17 +0000

'Pirates of the Caribbean 5' is going to happen whether we like it or not. Sure, 2011's 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' might have been a heaping pile of junk, but it was a heaping pile of junk that made over $1 billion worldwide. What can we say? People just love Johnny Depp. But with director Rob Marshall not returning and original franchise helmsman Gore Verbinski long gone, who will step behind the camera? A few potential names have emerged.

'Star Trek Into Darkness' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Tue, 14 May 2013 12:00:38 +0000

J.J. Abrams is going to make the greatest 'Star Wars' movie in history.

With 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' Abrams' follow up to the 2009 'Star Trek' reboot (or continuation of the series, if you are Spock Prime) he has solidified his position as a master of propulsive, visceral filmmaking. Dude knows where to put the camera, when the music should swell, when the characters should zing each another or when they should project pathos to the cheap seats. The 'Star Wars' films are mostly gut and little brains and, unfortunately, that is what we have here. The movie still works as an exemplary thrill ride – I laughed, I cried, I cheered – but woe be to anyone who gets caught in a conversation afterwards trying to explain the overly complicated and, at times, silly plot. If you expect something a little sharper out of 'Star Trek' you may come away with some mixed emotions.

As Pegg said, "All the things that we loved about the first three."

Marvel Says 'Iron Man 4′ Will Happen With or Without Robert Downey, Jr.

Mike Sampson — Mon, 13 May 2013 12:00:01 +0000

"Will Robert Downey, Jr. star in 'Iron Man 4?'" has been a very hot question over the past few weeks. Robert Downey, Jr. and his co-stars have been asked ad nauseum about the potential for another sequel and they've all had varying reactions.

Jacob Hall — Sun, 12 May 2013 21:35:24 +0000

Although the recent glut of posters for 'Man of Steel' have been less than satisfying, the same can't be said for each and every trailer and TV spot, which make the new Superman movie look like the blockbuster to beat this summer. The newest spot doesn't change the pattern -- this movie looks fantastic.

Will 'Wolverine' Get a Blast From the 'Past' With a Secret Cameo From [SPOILER]?

Nick Romano — Fri, 10 May 2013 23:00:27 +0000

We're so lucky to be getting not one but TWO 'X-Men' movies in the span of two years. First up is 'The Wolverine,' coming at us this July, while 2014 will see Bryan Singer return to the director's seat for 'X-Men: Days of Future Past.' While these two flicks are seemingly separate adventures for their respective heroes, could there possibly be some underlying connection between them? Could a possible secret cameo from an 'X-Men' alum flow 'The Wolverine' right into 'Days of Future Past'?
