What's Up, Moustache? #2 | It's a Good News/Bad News Day for DC

Ever since it was announced that James Gunn and Peter Safran were taking over as the heads of DC Studios, there has been a lot of speculation regarding the future of the DC Universe. But the last 24 hours has seen DC playing a fast game of Good News/Bad News. Include last week's revelation that Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman 3 has been shelved, and you could argue that it's a case of Bad News/Good News/Bad News. Yesterday Jenkins responded to all the speculation surrounding the move: pic.twitter.com/E6IdujcgTt — Patty Jenkins (@PattyJenks) December 14, 2022 This latest wave of speculation began with a story from Variety , claiming that James Gunn and Peter Safran were considering bringing Matt Reeves' take on Batman (along with Robert Pattinson) into the wider DC universe; " A well-placed source says Gunn and Safran are exploring the possibility of incorporating filmmaker Matt Reeves’ iteration of Batman with actor Robert Pattinson into their wider universe ." ...

They're Back! | My Return To The Cinema... Again

Normally when I watch a movie (either on the big or small screen) I write a review, share my thoughts on that movie with whoever wants to read it. But given the turmoil of the last year and a half, something which forced cinemas around the world to close their doors, permanently in some cases, it seemed more appropriate to write something about the experience. After seven months of no cinema, the place never looked so good! The first thing that hit me - apart from the excitement of finally going back to the big screen - was the smell. As I walked in the door of my local Cineworld it was there; the delicious smell of warm popcorn. Even through the mask it was delightfully strong. It was something I hadn't realised I missed, but it felt like a warm welcome. The feeling of being back in one of those seats, popcorn in hand, was fantastic. For once the adverts seemed to fly by, giving way to the trailers. I was so pleased to be back that even the new Conjuring movie looked good (I am no...

Jimmy Woo Spin-Off? Yes Please!

I think it's fair to say - even though we're only half way through the season - that WandaVision has been a rather successful endeavour for Marvel Studios. The team behind the show have certainly set the bar high for those working on the other upcoming Marvel TV shows, maybe even the movies too. But one of the more surprising outcomes of WandaVision is the possibility of Randall Park's FBI Agent Jimmy Woo getting his own show. Stephen Ford (Teen Wolf, Private Practice) has expressed interest in creating a spin-off show for the FBI agent, described as "Like a fun X-Files". Given the character's comic book history, and Randall Park's quirky performance, the possibilities for a show like this are endless. Which is probably why the idea quickly grew in popularity, so much so in fact, Ford is apparently writing a pitch for his idea. Ford first shared his idea on social media on 30th January: Hear me out: An entire Disney+ show about Jimmy Woo just working weir...

Cineworld To Temporarily Close

Cineworld is set to close all 128 of its cinemas in the UK - not to mention those in other countries - from Thursday 8th October. This all comes in the wake of yet another delay of the release of 'No Time To Die'; Daniel Craig's final outing as James Bond. On Sunday Cineworld stated through social media that they were "considering the temporary closure" of their UK and US cinemas: We can confirm we are considering the temporary closure of our U.K. and US cinemas, but a final decision has not yet been reached. Once a decision has been made we will update all staff and customers as soon as we can. — Cineworld Cinemas (@cineworld) October 4, 2020 However it has now been confirmed that Cineworld will indeed close its doors for an unknown period of time, stating "Cineworld will continue to monitor the situation closely and will communicate any future plans to resume operations in these markets at the appropriate time". This is nothing short of a tragedy, not ...

What's Up, Moustache? #1

There's always some interesting information and speculation coming out of Hollywood. Here's some that caught my eye. First, footage of Keanu Reeves training on a shooting range for John Wick 2. We see him engage multiple targets at varying distances, while transitioning from his primary weapon to his sidearm and a shotgun, all with speed and precision. A lot of work went in to the first movie and it showed, John Wick was very successful and very popular with movie goers. Now, those working on the sequel are going to have to work really hard considering how high they set the bar with the first movie. Unfortunately, we have to wait until February 2017 to see John Wick 2 . Also out in February is Fifty Shades Darker , a watered down porno courtesy of a Twilight fan fiction writer, The Lego Batman Movie , a spin off of The Lego Movie and The Mountain Between Us starring Charlie Hunnam and Margot Robbie. If John Wick 2 lives up to its predecessor I don't think it will have...
