Story by Matt Cummings

With Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice prepping its first trailer to premiere in May with Mad Max: Fury Road and other news whetting the appetites of fans everywhere, DC's other hot property Suicide Squad has been making their own waves as well. On Tuesday, Director David Ayer posted this photo of the first read-through for the film:

Pictured in the photo are Will Smith (Deadshot), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jai Courtney (Boomerang), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flagg), Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc), Viola Davis (Amanda Waller) and a few new additions. This week, we also learned that Adam Beach and Ike Barinholtz (also pictured) have joined as Ravan and Doctor Hugo Strange respectively. Apparently, Joe Manigianello is also out as Deathstroke, replaced by Jim Parrack (pictured on right with the hat).

The big question is why Jared Leto (The Joker) is absent. Of course, one could assume that Ayer doesn't want to tip his hand as to the size of The Joker, which several reports have claimed that he's adding weight and a green hair color to the role. Besides, DC loves to promote its films with big reveals, so don't be surprised if we begin to see elements of The Joker begin to pop up on Ayer's Twitter account.

As for the movie itself, rumors are that Suicide Squad is set between 2013's Man of Steel and 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and will focus on the relationship between Batman and The Joker. It's set for an August 5, 2016 release just 5 months before Dawn arrives on March 25th. Two movies so close to one another also signals that the films will mostly likely feed off one another, setting the stage for some big plots moving forward.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...

When a squad of Russian soldiers kills his family in retaliation for his role in a top-secret op, Sr. Chief John Kelly ( Michael B. Jordan ) pursues the assassins at all costs. Joining forces with a fellow SEAL ( Jodie Turner-Smith ) and a shadowy CIA agent ( Jamie Bell ), Kelly’s mission unwittingly exposes a covert plot that threatens to engulf the U.S. and Russia in an all-out war.
