Another day, another trailer for a superhero movie. A new trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron dropped this week, and while there’s not a lot of new content there are plenty of things to speculate. You can check out the trailer right here. Again we hear a haunting score with pings and dings that play…
I will be the first to admit that I am new to the superhero craze (having only ever really cared for Toby McGuire’s Spider-Man series). That attribute of mine has gradually begun to change since Joss Whedon’s Avengers hit theaters in 2012. I don’t like to go into any fandom half-cocked, so I watched all of the…
The Age of Ultron is upon us. Well, almost. Actually, May is still pretty far away, but the teaser trailer dropped this week. Only six days on YouTube and it’s racked up almost 47 million views.

In less than two weeks from writing this, Thor: The Dark World will be unleashed into theaters. To my mind, it is the most interesting film remaining in the pre-Avengers 2 cycle we have going (Captain America 2 looks like it could be good but I have no idea what to make of The Guardians…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe gravy train keeps chugging along and shows no signs of slowing down. 2013 seems poised to be a landmark year in their springboard for the future as well, with Iron Man 3 this year’s top global film so far (with 1.2 Billion dollars in receipts), Thor: The Dark World on the…
I read an article prior to the beginning of last years summer movie season that basically said all summers after that one could be considered redundant.
