‘Blade’ Paved The Way For All The MCU Blockbusters That Would Follow (Video)
Not everyone, but many folks ignore or outright diss the ‘Blade’ contribution to what Marvel has offered the movie world.
(Looking at you, too, ‘Deadpool’… ‘Blade: Trinity’ was my fave of the series, but you take shots at it. Hannibal King foreverrr!)
Check out this discussion clip giving the props that Marvel’s first Black hero [before all the #WakandaForever stuff] movie deserves.
And yes, ‘Black Panther’ is a far better movie than anything in the ‘Blade’ franchise. Not the point though. Just saying it before the haters do.

Disney’s “The Lion King” Opens In Theaters July 19, 2019 (Trailer)
Don’t worry “Lion King” faithful. Jon Favreau knows that y’all shed real tears of sorrow and joy at the animated epic. He will not let you down with the remake. Look at the cast. Look at the high-quality CGI. Hear the music and dialogue. Check out the A-List casting.
Your memories will be honored and celebrated. This trailer promises that!
The ‘Hellboy’ Reboot Debuts In Theaters April 12th (Redband Trailer)
Yeah, this “Hellboy” trailer had to be redband to really get the point across. Truth is, the snip with Hellboy and the sorceress making out in the bloodbath alone earns that stamp.
Yes. That is in there. Watch!
Based on the graphic novels by Mike Mignola, Hellboy, caught between the worlds of the supernatural and human, battles an ancient sorceress bent on revenge.

Latest ‘Endgame’ Teaser Shows The Remaining Avengers Readying Themselves For The Final Fight (Trailer)
Did you see that latest trailer for the follow-up to “Avengers: Infinity Wars”… that “Endgame” joint? It came on during the Super Bowl. I am ready for this movie to jump off, after “Captain Marvel,” of course.

Superfan James Cawley Recreated The ‘Star Trek’ Set Like No One Has Before (Video)
Built his own sci-fi dream set. To quote Witchdoctor, “Every day is a holiday.” He’d probably call it something cooler than ‘Star Trek’ Day, so I’d leave to this guy.
Meet the “Star Trek” Superfan James Cawley who has meticulously recreated the sets for the Enterprise from the original 1960s television series.

“Aquaman” Debuted As The #1 Movie (Video)
Have you seen the latest DC movie “Aquaman” yet? Looks like DC is hitting the come-from-behind trail hard with this one. Here’s the last teaser for the movie that took the top spot this past weekend (according to Variety, see their take on the flick after the jump).
Loving the way they got the archnemesis Black Manta’s look just right (e.g. like we remember from back in the day, but modernized a just a touch).
“Hellboy” Set To Return To The Big Screen April 12, 2019 (Trailer)
Looks like Christmas came early… Check out the #Hellboy trailer! Coming to theaters & IMAX April 12, 2019. pic.twitter.com/sAoRxv4cQ0
— Hellboy (@HellboyMovie) December 19, 2018
Maybe you were not heavy into the “Hellboy” flicks before, but you’ll want to get into it with this one. Trusting in the power of this trailer at least. The forecast for April 2019 at the theater: HELLA DOPE MOVIE!
(Anybody checking for Ron Perlman in this might be a touch mad, but not big mad… hopefully. Looks like a good movie regardless.)
Steve Carell Stars In An Imaginative Holiday Film, “Welcome To Marwen” (Trailer)
Looks like some good watching. Should hit viewers in the feels. And I trust Zemeckis as a filmmaker. He’s gonna take Carell into that Tom Hanks film space with this one, I’m betting. That is some rarefied air.
This holiday season, Academy Award® winner Robert Zemeckis—the groundbreaking filmmaker behind Forrest Gump, Flight and Cast Away—directs Steve Carell in the most original movie of the year. Welcome To Marwen tells the miraculous true story of one broken man’s fight as he discovers how artistic imagination can restore the human spirit.
– Universal Pictures
Interesting. A documentary directed by [executive producer] Jeff Malmberg inspired the film. In Theaters December 21st.

Watch The Final “Aquaman” Teaser Before The Film Debuts December 21st In Theaters (Video)
DC is betting the movie franchise on its next installment, “Aquaman.” The protector of Atlantis, of the seas… will become the savior of the world (and continue the DC comeback in theaters; if it proves itself a successful follow-up to Wonder Woman and “Justice League”).
Fingers crossed.
Final “Robin Hood” Teaser Before It Hits Theaters Later This Month (Trailer)
This is the story of a thief… #RobinHoodMovie opens November 21. pic.twitter.com/ftdPrI7T3c
— Robin Hood – 2018 (@robinhoodmovie) October 3, 2018
Yep, the dude from the “Kingsman” franchise (Taron Egerton) is going low-tech with the action in retelling a classic tale. Old school. Medieval. With Jamie Foxx teaching him how to rob from the rich, give to the poor, with style, rocking a sweet throwback hoodie joint. Haha!
Jamie Foxx Is Front-And-Center In A Different Retelling Of ‘Robin Hood’ (Trailer)
So the Jamie Foxx character trained up the Kingsmen dude to be the Robin Hood with Spiderman skills? Okay, you have my attention.
Robin Hood – In theaters November 21, 2018. Starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx, Ben Mendelsohn, Eve Hewson, Tim Minchin, and Jamie Dornan.

From “Luke Cage” Villain Back To Big Screen Bad Guy: Mahershala Ali Features In “Alita: Battle Angel” (Trailer)
You didn’t think Mahershala Ali was done when Alfre Woodard’s character deaded ‘Copperhead’ in season 1 of Netflix’s Marvel series “Luke Cage”, did you? Nah man, Robert Rodriguez still has work for the brother; work that will debut in theaters December 21, 2018.
From visionary filmmakers James Cameron (AVATAR) and Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY), comes ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL, an epic adventure of hope and empowerment. When Alita (Rosa Salazar) awakens with no memory of who she is in a future world she does not recognize, she is taken in by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate doctor who realizes that somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young woman with an extraordinary past. As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious history while her street-smart new friend Hugo (Keean Johnson) offers instead to help trigger her memories. But it is only when the deadly and corrupt forces that run the city come after Alita that she discovers a clue to her past – she has unique fighting abilities that those in power will stop at nothing to control. If she can stay out of their grasp, she could be the key to saving her friends, her family and the world she’s grown to love.

The End Of “Avengers: Infinity War” Explained (Video)
WARNING: Do NOT watch if you have not seen ‘Infinity War’ and do not want it spoiled!
Okay, Marvel usually licenses properties in 3’s, but there is a lot of grain and grist in the rumor mill saying there will be an ‘Avengers 4’… and bits & pieces viewers got by the movie’s end actually make that make sense.
Whoa. You’ve just come out of Avengers: Infinity War. You’ve cheered at all the fights. Laughed at all the jokes. You’ve been shaken, speechless and sobbing. You’ve made an appointment for therapy for tomorrow. Don’t worry…we’re all right there with you. There’s only one cure for the post-Infinity War blues, and that’s diving straight into the ending and trying to figure out what the hell just happened — and what the hell is going to happen next. Strap in, put your helmet on, and prepare your haunches, people. Here’s the ending of Avengers: Infinity War explained. And of course, gigantic, earth-shattering spoilers ahead. Last chance to turn back…
