What role will Black Widow play in the upcoming film? Story by Matt Cummings With the incredible success of Captain America: The Winter Solider , Marvel Studios proved it could make a gripping game-changer that has since rippled throughout their movie and television universe. Even Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. got a much-needed boost from the infiltration of HYDRA and has spent half of Season 1 and most of Season 2 dealing with the consequences. Integral to that success was the role of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), who made herself known as a deeply-conflicted psychopath. She had ties to the Winter Soldier himself in Bucky Barnes, and her presence was as satisfying as any other part of the Joe and Anthony Russo-directed feature. Thus, it comes as little surprise to learn that ScarJo has been tapped once again to join Cap (Chris Evans) in the upcoming Captain America: Civil War. CBM has learned that she'll join Bucky (Sebastian Stan) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Iron

The script for Beverly Hills Cop 4 isn't ready because star of the franchise, Eddie Murphy himself told Rolling Stone the reason for the delay. “Nah, they still trying to get that script right, I’m not doing a ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ unless they have a really incredible script. I’ve read a couple things that look like they can make some paper. But I’m not doing a sh*tty movie just to make some paper. The sh*t got to be right. ” I am a huge fan of the franchise minus the third film, so let's hope they get it right. The plan for BEVERLY HILLS COP 4 is to have the production happen in Michigan and the movie arrive in theaters in 2016 Please Leave A Comment-

Looks like the trailer for  THE FANTASTIC FOUR will be attached to the upcoming release for   KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE . But it looks like there might be some issues with the film. Rumor has it that Trank has made this film more like ‘ Chronicle 2 ′ rather than ‘ The Fantastic Four ’ reboot which is what the studio wanted. Latinoreview  has heard production might go into reshoots in Louisiana. But THE FANTASTIC FOUR screenwriter/Producer Simon Kinberg came straight to Latinoreview and cleared things up confirming the reshoot but he’s confident about the film. To confirm – Fantastic Four will be doing 3-4 days of additional photography with director Josh Trank and some key cast members. We are very excited about the film and can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been up to. And you will be able to do that very soon as I can confirm here that the teaser will be on Kingsman in theaters February 13. THE FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and

While The Wedding Ringer is a dreadful exercise, most audiences will strangely love it. Review by Matt Cummings As someone who loves him some raunchy comedy, it's hard to write this and tell you to stay away from The Wedding Ringer . And while it checks off all the things needed for the perfect Winter release, the Kevin Hart/Josh Gad comedy is shallow, ugly, and surprisingly spiteful. The lovable loser Doug (Josh Gad) is soon to be married to the hottie Gretchen (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), yet he holds a dark secret: his career and life have afforded him few opportunities to make friends, and his efforts to secure a best man or even groomsmen have utterly failed. Insert rent-a-groom Jimmy (Hart), who will - for a fee - make himself into the ultimate friend. But Doug's situation is special, forcing Jimmy to seek The Golden Tux which includes a full compliment of strange groomsmen with no social skills whatsoever. As the wedding day arrives, Doug must wrestle with

Paddington is a sheer delight, wrapped in marmalade and adorable furry bear hugs. Review by Matt Cummings American audiences have witnessed so many fantastic incarnations of Winnie the Pooh over the years that it might be hard to welcome a relative unknown to the game. Luckily, Paddington has arrived with enough warm hugs and simple values to make a strong case for its consideration. When a young bear travels from the forests of Darkest Peru to be adopted, Paddington (voiced by Ben Whishaw) soon learns that the London he knows from the 1940's is no longer there. Stuck in a train station with the tag 'Please look after this bear. Thank you.' around his neck, he soon finds a temporary home courtesy of Mary (Sally Hawkins) and Henry (Hugh Bonneville) Brown, who promise to help him locate the famous explorer who saved his Aunt and Uncle from taxidermy many years ago. Unfortunately, dark forces are plotting his demise, including the museum taxidermist Millicen
