Synopsis – In 1850s Oregon, a gold prospector is chased by the infamous duo of assassins, the Sisters brothers. My Take – Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned western? While the once most acclaimed genre is trying to survive a good death at the hands of the film goers as films set in the wild west, despite the presence of a likable cast and … Continue reading The Sisters Brothers (2018) Review!!!
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has released the Blu-ray trailer for Venom, and they’re having a little fun with the impossibly successful Marvel Comics adaptation. While the Ruben Fleischer-directed film was a mostly serious take on the antihero, the movie did show shades of self-awareness here and there, especially when it came to Tom Hardy’s lead performance as both Eddie Brock and the symbiote Venom. Hardy … Continue reading ‘Venom’: Blu-ray Trailer Teases a Love Story for the Ages!! Check It Out!!
Synopsis – When Eddie Brock acquires the powers of a symbiote, he will have to release his alter-ego “Venom” to save his life. My Take – It’s a basic formula for every super hero to succeed – there has to be an equally strong (physically or mentally) arch nemesis, in the sense Superman has Lex Luthor, Batman has Joker, the Fantastic Four have Doctor Doom, … Continue reading Venom (2018) Review!!!
For those not aware of how The Biz™ works, a normal movie press tour is very carefully designed to drum up excitement for a film in the lead-up to premiere. But Tom Hardy is no normal man. Tom Hardy strongly prefers roles that require at least half if not more of his face to be obscured by some uncomfortable doodad. Tom Hardy looked at the … Continue reading ‘Venom’: Tom Hardy Confirms 30 to 40 Minutes Were Cut from the Film!!!
Ahead of Sony’s release of Venom, the studio’s next film in their marvelous Spider-Man-centric cinematic universe, some new clips have made their way online to show off Tom Hardy‘s range as both the mild-mannered journalist Eddie Brock and the brain-eating rage-monster that is the alien symbiote known as Venom.

For most of Tom Hardy‘s roles, the Oscar nominee has played characters that you really don’t want to mess with. In Sony’s upcoming take on the Spider-Man antagonist Venom, the dual role of Eddie Brock / super-violent alien symbiote should prove to be his most dangerous yet. And a new clip was released today to drive home exactly that point. In it, Brock is up … Continue reading ‘Venom’: New Action-Packed Clip Follows The Anti-Hero!!! Check It Out!!
Sony Pictures has released the first Venom clip. The upcoming superhero movie follows disgraced reporter Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) who comes into contact with an alien symbiote that turns him into the creature known as “Venom”.

It’s not a bad clip as it shows the conflict between Brock … Continue reading ‘Venom’: New Clip Features a Testy Interview with Eddie Brock and Dr. Carlton Drake!! Check It Out!!

IMAX and Sony Pictures released a new poster for the upcoming release of Venom, and my heavens, that is an uncomfortably long tongue. The upcoming anti-hero flick sees Tom Hardy joining forces (and bodies) with an extraterrestrial symbiote that grants him super strength and invulnerability but comes with a distinct taste for ultraviolence and the vital organs inside complete strangers. Fair trade all around. I actually … Continue reading ‘Venom’: New IMAX Poster Zooms In On The Anti-Hero!! Check It Out!!
It was only yesterday that we shred the news that the upcoming Venom movie will be rated PG-13, but fans can rest assured the possibility for a more intense cut of the film still exists.

Well if this isn’t the most symbiotic bit of on-brand pairing that ever was. Eminem has debuted a teaser for a new song, and it looks like that new song is going to be on the Venom soundtrack.

Eminem shared a snippet of the new song on social media with no title, caption or … Continue reading ‘Venom’: Eminem Teases New Original Song From The Soundtrack!!! Check It Out!!
We’re now just a little over a month away from the release of Venom, a movie that Sony hopes will launch a shared cinematic universe based upon the supporting players of the Spider-Man IP (less the web-slinger himself, at least initially).

Venom, which currently looks so bad that it demands to be seen, appeared that it would be gunning for an R-rating, it appears that might not be the case. According to Variety, “some members of Sony’s brain trust believe that the film should push the very limits of PG-13 without crossing over into a higher rating.” The thinking appears to be that a PG-13 rating … Continue reading Venom Will Likely Be Rated PG-13 Rather than a Hard R!!!

We have Hardy himself to thank for that since the Oscar-nominated actor recently … Continue reading Tom Hardy Wraps ‘Venom’ and Celebrates with a New Image!!! Check It Out!!
Production is currently underway on Sony’s Venom movie starring Tom Hardy. Fans wondered how you could have Venom without Spider-Man, who is kind of the progenitor of the character in the comics. The whole reason Venom has Spider-Man-like powers is because the alien symbiote went to Peter Parker first and when Peter rejected the symbiote, it found Eddie Brock, thus creating a darker, more muscular, … Continue reading ‘Venom’ Rumored to Include Cameo from Tom Holland’s Spider-Man!!!

While at CCXP (Comic Con Experience) in Brazil, Collider’s Steve Weintraub stumbled upon something very interesting.

While Game of Thrones … Continue reading Emmy Winners 2017: ‘Handmaid’s Tale’, ‘Big Little Lies’, and ‘Atlanta’ Lead the Pack!!

Pardon me, but I’m going to have to tell you what you probably already guessed. Lucasfilm’s Star Wars prequel Rogue One will not have a sequel. Because it already has one. It’s called Star Wars.

But to be fair, it’s reasonable to assume that Disney … Continue reading ‘Rogue One’ To Not Have a Sequel!!
