2016: The Halfway Mark

2016: The Halfway Mark

It is now July and that means that we are halfway through 2016. Which also means that we are halfway through the “summer movie season”, which typically spans from May to August. While the delightful Finding Dory has just come out and we are hopeful for the one-two-three punch of Ghostbusters, Star Trek Beyond, and Jason Bourne… It hasn’t been the greatest summer for movies. That doesn’t mean that…

Filmthusiast's Wish is Granted: Bookeem Woodbine Joins SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING

Filmthusiast’s Wish is Granted: Bookeem Woodbine Joins SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING

Back in February, Filmthusiast ran a casting wishlist for the new Spider-Man movie. There were some cool names on that list. The third person on that list, after the already cast Tom Holland and Marisa Tomei, was Bookeem Woodbine. He was coming off of an incredible turn on the second season of Fargo. I suggested that he would be an incredible Kraven the Hunter.  (more…)

DISASTCAST: The Disaster Movie Final Cut Podcast

DISASTCAST: The Disaster Movie Final Cut Podcast

2012, Armageddon, Contagion, Dante’s Peak, The Day After Tomorrow, The Happening, The Impossible, San Andreas, Titanic, and Twister. What do these movies have in common? Besides “Night Light Operator” Ron Kunecke (don’t look this up, it’s a joke)? They are disaster movies. The lowest form of popcorn entertainment delivers the highest enjoyment factor and the most breathless thrills. These are the…

Thirty-Eight Second Preview for JASON BOURNE Reveals Story

Thanks to a new TV spot, we now know what brings him back. And, boy, does it piss him off. (more…)

THE UNCANNY X-CAST: The X-Men Final Cut Podcast

THE UNCANNY X-CAST: The X-Men Final Cut Podcast

The modern age of superhero films has been fairly easy to track. Sam Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN was the opening of the floodgates, Christopher Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT was proof it could be more than popcorn fun, and Joss Whedon’s THE AVENGERS gave us the pinnacle of a comic book come to life. It’s been a glorious decade and a half. But it all truly began with Bryan Singer’s X-MEN in 2000. No one was…
