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 Man (Robert Downey, Jr) and others in what will be more of an Avengers movie than a stand-alone Cap adventure.

Civil War, perhaps the best known of recent Marvel runs, will pit Cap against Iron Man as they force various heroes to choose between entering a Superhero Registration program - which would reveal their true identities - or be hunted down as traitors. Unfortunately Marvel doesn't own all the MCU heroes it needs to tell that story proper (Fox owns X-men and Fantastic Four, Sony owns Spider-man and his villains), so look for the story to play out very different than the iconic series. Although we've reported that Marvel and Sony will perhaps join forces to let Spider-man return, it won't be for Civil War, as that script is already completed. Therefore, how will Marvel use Black Widow? We know her loyalty to Cap, but it's clear that she'll have problems with Bucky - since she took away her bikini prowess with a slug back in the day - so it's possible that she'll join on the side of Stark.

Shooting starts in April, so we won't have long to figure out where Black Widow and the entire MCU will stand on the issue of the Superhero Registration Act.

Captain America: Civil War arrives on May 6, 2016 followed by Doctor Strange on November 4, 2016.

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...

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

By
Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...
