BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

#MarvelCollectorCorps Review: April 2016

It's a month of Marvel Movie Ass Whoopin', as Marvel Collector Corps delivers another exceptional sub box. Review by Matt Cummings With Loot Crate long gone and our faith in Geek Fuel going ebbing and flowing from month to month ), we're really enjoying the Funko runs of DC, Smuggler's Bounty, and of course Marvel Collector Corps. This month's CIVIL WAR theme is ready for next May's superhero throwdown, filled with excellent items but a couple that give us slight pause. The Promise Before we begin, let's look at the deal again: promising a value of $50, the box would keep the "fluff" (their words) to a minimum with Funko partnering each time to deliver an exclusive figure. Joining at the Founders level would get you an 8" exclusive figure on your one-year anniversary, but you can also subscribe at the Collector level at $25 with $6.95 shipping. With Year One Founders receiving a Captain America statue, it's clea

#GeekFuel Review: April 2016

April's Geek Fuel is an appealing mish-mash of geeky goodness. Review by Matt Cummings March's Geek Fuel box provided us a bit of relief from the stink of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice , mostly completing its mission of delivering high-quality goods to our doorstep. Mostly. And while April's haul is filled with a mish-mash of geeky goodness, it's a mish-mash all the same. Before diving in, let's review the details: The cost for a Month to Month is $17.90, $16.90/month for a 3-month subscription, $15.90/month for a 6-month tour and just $13.90/month for a one-year subscription. Shipping $6.00 to the US, Canada, and at least a few other countries. We use QUALITY and TIMING to base our reviews, so let's see how this box stands up. As always, we'll end our review with some additional thoughts after the unboxing: Winners We love the Rockem/Sockem t-shirt. A lot. But it's way big on us...way big. As a result, it's

Movie Review: #CaptainAmericaCivilWar

Captain America: Civil War is an elegant throw-down-glory machine. Review by Matt Cummings If recent James Bond films owe everything to Jason Bourne, it's clear that Hollywood should throw superhero movies a giant parade; without them in the mix, Hollywood would be struggling to keep the lights on. Consider the ultimate proof in the absolutely stunning Captain America: Civil War , a mature right-turn for a franchise that seems ready to present us with an earth-shattering shake up of its world. The start here makes it the best film so far in 2016, not only due to its terrific action sequences but in the questions it raises about heroes and their place in the world. Captain America (Chris Evans) has assembled his own Avengers team to handle crises throughout the world. But the results haven't been perfect: when a battle with Crossbones results in another huge body count, Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Vision (Paul Bettany), and Scarlet

Here's Your New Han Solo

Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the duo charged with the job of bringing a young Han Solo to our screens, appear to have made their choice of the man to fill the role for the stand-alone film. After a long casting process, Hail, Caesar! 's Alden Ehrenreich has clinched it. Now, we'd caution at this point that it's one of those "sources tell us" stories in the New York Post and hasn't (at time of writing this) been officially confirmed by Disney or Lucasfilm. So we're obliged to fire up the old rumour klaxon for what will probably be the last time in this particular case. Ehrenreich , who is reportedly in the final stages of hammering out his deal to play the young rogue made iconic by Harrison Ford , won the role over the likes of Jack Reynor, Ansel Elgort and thousands of unknowns who tried out for it. With Star Wars: The Force Awakens co-writer Lawrence Kasdan working on the script alongside son Jon, story details are somewhat naturally being kept l

Our Top 10 Marvel Films: 5-1 (REVISITED)

Our list concludes with Hammers, Shields, wheelchairs, and at least 2 epic superhero mashups. Story by Matt Cummings We've been counting down our top 10 Marvel films - which you can see 10-6 HERE , which wasn't an easy thing considering how much our list changed from the last time (you can see those lists HERE and HERE ). We even felt a little Green Rage Monster inside of us at having to decide. But decide we did, and so here is the rest of our list. Please read our full reviews under each number: 5) X-men: Days of Future Past (2014) Fox achieved so much with First Class , but many were concerned that the prequel was nothing more than a happy accident. Not so: DOFP was filled with so many memorable moments that we'd fail if we tried to mention all of them here. From Quicksilver to the pitch-perfect performances of both future- and past-X-men, Director Bryan Singer made a passionate point: he owns this series and should be allowed to make as many of them

"Feud" Starring Susan Sarandon & Jessica Lange Heading To FX

The first installment of  Feud  stars  Jessica Lange  and  Susan Sarandon  and tells the story of the legendary rivalry between two of the greatest movie stars of all time—Joan Crawford ( Lange ) and Bette Davis ( Sarandon ), and how they came together in 1962 to collaborate on a picture each hoped would revive their careers. The result, the critically acclaimed and box office smash What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? ultimately received five Academy Awards nominations and became a cult classic. But for its leads, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, the real horror was working together. The pilot is based in part on the script “Best Actress” by Jaffe Cohen and Michael Zam which Murphy purchased. Murphy will direct several episodes of the series. Ryan Murphy, the prolific, Emmy® and Golden Globe® award-winning producer who pioneered the modern limited series form with the award-winning anthology American Horror Story and whose American Crime Story has been a critical and ratings triu
