X-men: Apocalypse - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is superhero bombast at its best. Review by Matt Cummings Say what you want about the newest X-men film (our boy Rama loved it ), but in my mind it lacked a sense of danger from the menacing Apocalypse (played by Oscar Issac). Sure, there's a few very good scenes (including an excellent pair of cameos), and Director Bryan Singer has a good (but not strong) understanding of all the new mutants that he introduces. However, one would be shortsighted to attach the same negativity to Composer John Ottman's score, a bombastic and headstrong affair that will encourage you to follow this X-men baddie to the ends of the earth. Set in the 1980's, Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) is slowly building his School For Gifted Youngsters, employing Beast (Nicholas Hoult) and Havok (Lucas Till) as teachers for a new and growing class of mutants. But deep under the wreckage of an ancient Egyptian pyramid, an inesca

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

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

We return to re-rank our top 10 Marvel films so you can yell at us some more. Story by Matt Cummings Back in 2014, we ranked our top Marvel films HERE and HERE , which included anything made by Fox, Sony, and anyone else that threw something up on the big screen with the Marvel logo on it. But that was four films ago - and many more if you count those crafted by those same nemesises of Marvel. With the failure of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice still in our noses, it's time to dust off our Marvel list and see just how much has changed there as well. Just like last time, and to make it easier to read, we've broken it down into two articles. We'll release our top 5 list sometime this week. Here now is our top favorite Marvel films from 10 to 6: 10) X-Men: First Class (2011) A good friend of mine constantly says that X-Men: First Class was a happy accident. Who could blame him? Fox has been inconsistent in providing us with great Wolverine stories

The boys also discuss movies and television shows hitting Blu-ray this week. After

Marvel Collector Corps celebrates the release of Deadpool with a top-notch selection of foul-mouthed goodness. Review by Matt Cummings With our decision to abandon Loot Crate and our faith in Geek Fuel going month to month ), we're now fully invested in the odd-month releases, including Marvel Collector Corps. The reasons for our switching were simple, and have since formed the cornerstone of our review process: QUALITY and TIMING. This month's DEADPOOL theme are good examples of these benchmarks, strengthening our belief that the month-to-month model is on its way out. 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 shi
