Marvel Studios showed no sign of slowing their pace after the massive success of The Avengers. Quite the opposite, in fact. No, Marvel used their panel at San Diego Comic Con to announce they were beginning “Phase Two” of their film strategy, and boy is it a biggie! Let’s talk the big boys first. Read more »
Edgar Wright may be busy prepping for The World’s End, the third part in his and Simon Pegg’s Blood and Ice Cream trilogy due to film in September, but some how he’s found the time to film a test reel for the long in gestation Ant-Man. Read more »
You don’t need me to tell you The Avengers has been HUGE. A billion dollars box office in NINETEEN days. To put that in to perspective, it took Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight six months to reach the billion dollar mark. Marvel/Disney are dancing all the way to the bank, but what happens now?

If the movie is one eighth as funny as this, then I’ll be joyously happy. Heaven help if it’s one eleventh though…
