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 looked at the … Continue reading ‘Venom’: Tom Hardy Confirms 30 to 40 Minutes Were Cut from the Film!!!

For most of Tom Hardy‘s roles, the Oscar nominee has played characters that you really don’t want to mess with.

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”.

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.

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!!!

Josh Trank got a bum rap. I’m certainly not the only person to hold this opinion but when Trank was essentially blacklisted and lost his potential Star Wars gig, most of the blame went to the director.
