Wet Hot American Summer is headed to Netflix in an 8-episode series, with the subtitle First Day of Camp. Here is the new trailer, showcasing the bizarre and groundbreaking humor that made the original Wet Hot American Summer such a cult classic:
One of the more impressive aspects of this Wet Hot American Summer redux is the fact that everyone came back, especially since many of these actors became megastars. What else might be a slice of comedy genius is that writer/director David Wain and his cast decided to make the 40-year old versions of these characters appear as younger versions of themselves in what will be a prequel.
Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Janeane Garofalo, Amy Poehler, and the rest of the cast return, along with new faces Jon Hamm, Jordan Peele and Kristen Wiig. All eight episodes of Wet Hot American Summer will be available on Netflix July 31.
Entertainment Weekly released images from their Comic Con issue featuring images from Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, you can see Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman.
The most interesting image has to be the look of Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor.
Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice is written by Chris Terrio, from a screenplay by David S. Goyer. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Wesley Coller, David S. Goyer and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers.
The film is set to open worldwide on May 6, 2016, and is based on Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, Batman characters created by Bob Kane, and Wonder Woman created by William Moulton Marston, appearing in comic books published by DC Entertainment.
“A lot of people have said that Special Effects in movies feel hollow compared to the movies from 10 or 20 years ago. Obviously, CGI plays a part, but there’s a very specific reason that things aren’t working as well.” – StoryBrain

Rick and Morty, the twisted comedy series is making its return July 26th, and we are pumped up to see our favorite sci fi adventurers again. We’re expecting to see the same disgusting, messed up, twisted humor that made the first season such a delight. And from the trailer below we can tell that the alcoholic (but brilliant) Rick, and the overly anxious Morty are going to deliver in all the wrong ways.

As we can see from the trailer, the show still has it’s great sense of dark humor, action, and science fiction mumbo jumbo that we love to see. But, there are some noticeable changes that peak our interest. Morty’s flying the trash saucer, Summer seems to be in more of Rick’s insane adventures, Jerry and Beth are still trying to keep their family stable, and there’s plenty of inter-dimensional bizarreness that made the first season so great.
The only scientific conundrum we’re dealing with right now is trying to figure out how the hell we’re supposed to wait for twenty six days for this show to come back. There are so many questions that we have racing through our minds from what the second season of Rick and Morty will hold!
Will we find out more about Rick’s mysterious past? Will Morty ever get the courage to ask his long time crush Jessica out? Will Jerry finally get some respect?… Probably not. But, we’re only going to find out July 26th when we see what creators Justin Roiland, and Dan Harmon have in store for the second season of Rick and Morty. It’s going to be off the hook glib globs!
After the tumultuous start in its pre-production, Steve Jobs seems to have taken enough flight to be able to survive in theaters next October 9 without an epic crash. This first full-length trailer shows Apple’s founder as a person almost devoid of human sympathy, but with enough passion for technology and the brand he was creating to succeed brilliantly. Of course, we already know he was an ambitious man and didn’t think twice about not accepting any errors or inconveniences in anything he was involved with.
How is it different to the 2013 Jobs film, that starred an admittedly decent Ashton Kutcher as the almighty Steve Jobs? As a fan of Aaron Sorkin’s work, especially The Newsroom, I’m excited to see familiar faces like Jeff Daniels, Kate Winslet and (a surprising) Seth Rogen accompanying Michael Fassbender for this story that promises being excellent – no less than what Jobs would have wanted, I’m sure. But I’m however not a huge supporter of Danny Boyle’s films in general, so it’ll be interesting for me to see this one, no doubt. At least I think we can trust that there’s a solid script for this movie, but I still would have liked to see a Fincher version of it, after what he created with Sorkin for The Social Network.
Now, what do you think or expect from this film? Look forward to our review in a few months!
Paul Thomas Anderson is teaming up with Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. to pen Downey’s long-gestating screenplay for, of all things, a live-action adaptation of Pinocchio.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the exclusive earlier today, in what will certainly be the strangest movie-related news of July 1, 2015. Downey and PTA have been close to working with one another a few times in the past, with Downey almost taking the lead role in Inherent Vice before he had to back out, giving way to Joaquin Phoenix.
As of now, PTA is merely writing a draft of Downey’s Pinocchio screenplay, which he has been tweaking for many years. However, the report indicates Anderson is being eyed to direct the adaptation. I say, why not?
A Pinocchio film from Paul Thomas Anderson, maybe even starring Robert Downey Jr. as Geppetto, would be deliciously offbeat and strange for sure. And it would go a long way to erasing Robert Benigni’s attempt at a live-action Pinocchio from our collective consciousness.
Gerard Butler stars as hero Mike Banning, in the highly anticipated sequel to OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN and is reunited with Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett and new addition to the cast, the beautiful Charlotte Riley.
Synopsis:
The sequel to the worldwide smash hit Olympus Has Fallen begins in London, where the British Prime Minister has passed away under mysterious circumstances. His funeral is a must-attend event for leaders of the western world. But what starts out as the most protected event on earth, turns into a deadly plot to kill the world’s most powerful leaders, devastate every known landmark in the British capital, and unleash a terrifying vision of the future. Only three people have any hope of stopping it: the President of the United States, his formidable secret service head (Gerard Butler), and an English MI-6 agent who rightly trusts no one.
LONDON HAS FALLEN is scheduled for released in early 2016.
It’s been quite an exciting summer of movies so far. Now that we have reached a short break in the action due to the holiday, let me get you caught up on a movie that you can’t miss. Dope is a movie that is getting nothing near the publicity that it deserves. It caught me by surprise and it will go down as one of the better movies of 2015.
This movie starts with high-school senior Malcolm (Shameik Moore) and his pals Jib (Tony Revolori) and Diggy (Kiersey Clemons) bonding over 90’s hip-hop culture. A chance encounter with a drug dealer named Dom lands the group at a birthday party. Half-way through the party gun fire erupts, they flee – with the Ecstasy that was hidden in Malcolm’s backpack. A wild adventure takes place as the group of friends have to evade armed drug dealers.
Dope deals directly with the idea that perception is always reality. Malcolm is perceived by everyone in his school as being the ultimate geek and nothing more. It becomes very obvious in the film that the drug dealer who stashed his ecstasy in the backpack felt the same way. Malcolm not only comes of age in this movie he shows that perceptions can be shattered and we can evolve. He handles his current situation and even uses it later in the film to help him in a major life altering way.
Dope is a well written movie with even better acting. It’s quick, witty, and not one person overshadows another throughout the movie which is always ideal. Dope presents itself as appealing to young adults but I feel all adults would enjoy the message of being just who you are no matter what the circumstances. I was caught off guard by how much heart this movie actually had.
I understand that this movie will be overshadowed this weekend with promises of movies that have a shirtless Channing Tatum and Arnold’s return as Terminator. All of these movies will offer you something good but Dope offers you even more. Dope offers you the chance to see a truly great ensemble cast pull off one of the best performances so far of 2015. Dope is simply a movie that can’t be missed.
From Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema comes award-winning filmmaker Ryan Coogler’s “Creed.” The film explores a new chapter in the “Rocky” story and stars Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone in his iconic role. The film also reunites Coogler with his “Fruitvale Station” star Michael B. Jordan as the son of Apollo Creed.
Adonis Johnson (Jordan) never knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died before he was born. Still, there’s no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed’s legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa.
Once in the City of Brotherly Love, Adonis tracks Rocky (Stallone) down and asks him to be his trainer. Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo—the fierce rival who became his closest friend. Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring.
With Rocky in his corner, it isn’t long before Adonis gets his own shot at the title…but can he develop not only the drive but also the heart of a true fighter, in time to get into the ring?
“Creed” also stars Tessa Thompson (“Selma,” “Dear White People”) as Bianca, a local singer-songwriter who becomes involved with Adonis; Phylicia Rashad (Lifetime’s “Steel Magnolias”) as Mary Anne Creed, Apollo’s widow; and English pro boxer and former three-time ABA Heavyweight Champion Anthony Bellew as boxing champ “Pretty” Ricky Conlan.
Coogler directs from a screenplay he wrote with Aaron Covington, based on characters from the “Rocky” series written by Sylvester Stallone. The film is being produced by Robert Chartoff, Irwin Winkler, Charles Winkler, William Chartoff, David Winkler, Kevin King Templeton and Sylvester Stallone, with Nicholas Stern executive producing.
Joining Coogler behind the scenes are director of photography Maryse Alberti (“The Wrestler”) and costume designers Antoinette Messam (“Orphan”) and Emma Potts (“127 Hours”), as well as his “Fruitvale Station” team: editors Michael P. Shawver and Claudia Castello; production designer Hannah Beachler; and composer Ludwig Göransson.
