The fallout from the divorce of former filmmaking sweethearts Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures continues. With Legendary already agreeing to drop future financial interest in the Man Of Steel franchise for a cut of Interstellar’s action, the two companies have now parted ways over Jeff Bridges adventure The Seventh Son . Legendary originally financed the fantasy film, which sees Bridges as a warrior wizard who's training Ben Barnes to fight witches. It’s already been plagued with delays, including issues in completing the effects in time for the release date. Up until last month, Warners was still planning to release the film, having brought Bridges, Barnes, Antje Traue, Kit Harington and director Sergei Bodrov to the San Diego Comic-Con to promote the movie. Still, the situation is not completely hopeless: Legendary has made a new pact with Universal, so it will take over responsibility for finding the movie a new birth. At least, everyone involved will hope it f

Kick-Ass 2 Review By: MattInRC The wild Kick-Ass 2 delivers all the fun and gore of the first, even if it betrays some of its morals. Comic book movies have followed a parallel path with the Sci-Fi & Action genres ever since Bryan Singer's X-Men : due to the nature of the characters, it's perfectly acceptable to display implausible violence. Whether it's watching an entire city leveled or some fantastic move by a superhuman or mutant, we've been willing to play along. But when a comic book film proposes that it's better than that - and then proceeds to display the same sort of images - casual fans might have a hard time distinguishing between it and the litany of films which occupy Summer theaters. This is where Kick-Ass 2 finds itself, a totally enjoyable experience even if it's exactly opposite of what it wants to be. The world of real-life crime fighting has weighed heavily on our titular hero ( Aaron Taylor-Johnson ) and Hit Girl (

As he continues to dance just to the other side of official announcements about voicing a role on Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy , Vin Diesel clearly plans to keep sci-fi in his future. He’ll next be on our screens in Riddick and has just attached himself to Arash Amel’s script Soldiers Of The Sun . Amel, who wrote upcoming Nicole Kidman film Grace Of Monaco, here tackles a very different subject, one that couldn’t be further away from a Grace Kelly biopic. Soldiers is set in a post-apocalyptic future where a squad of troopers is battling aliens who have taken over Mexico and, presumably other places on Earth. As they serve out their tour of duty, the soldiers catch wind of a fabled city of gold that the extra-terrestrials, known as Orcs, are occupying. So begins a battle to liberate the place and its riches. Universal has nabbed the rights to this one, which Vin Diesel will producer alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura. The studio is looking to find another ensemble film that cou

The Spectacular Now Review By: MattInRC The Spectacular Now is...well..utterly unspectacular. As in most industries, critics get attached to projects - it happened last year with the less than satisfying Life of Pi and eventually the much better Argo, denying Lincoln its rightful place as the top film of 2012. But when critics get so forcefully behind an unworthy film - like The Spectacular Now - you wonder if you were watching a different movie with the same name. Boring and utterly impractical in certain scenes, it lingers like an unfinished drink that you once liked but have since lost interest. High school party guy Sutter Keely ( Miles Teller, 21 and Over ) is fresh off being dumped when he meets the shy and reclusive Aimee Finecky ( Shailene Woodley ). She's a bookworm, content to fall into Manga and math, but afraid to do more with her life. For her, college is a dream that her current home life won't allow. Sutter sees potential in Aimee, even thoug

MARY POPPINS 50th Anniversary Edition arrives on Disney Blu-ray Combo Pack December 10th! "Step in Time" with the trailer here: Walt Disney Home Entertainment has revealed the 50th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray release of director Robert Stevenson's Mary Poppins, starring Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, Glynis Johns, David Tomlinson, Matthew Garber, Karen Dotrice and Jane Darwell. The live-action Walt Disney classic makes its Blu-ray debut on December 10th. Synopsis: A magical, musical nanny ( Andrews ) brings a breath of fresh air into the stuffy Banks household in turn-of-the-century England. Overstuffed with gaiety, this children's fantasy is filled with dance numbers and outrageous songs (among them the seemingly unpronounceable "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"), and its blend of live-action and animation was a marvel in its day. Mary Poppins also features Andrews' film debut and Darwell's last film appearance, earned thirteen Academy Awar
