Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

Ghostbusters (Trailer)
March 5, 2016
New York is in deep trouble from other worldly forces, and y’all aren’t going to call The Avengers?? NO! Who you gonna call? “Ghostbusters” (shout to Ray Parker, Jr.)!
“Ghostbusters” makes its long-awaited return, rebooted with a cast of hilarious new characters. Thirty years after the beloved original franchise took the world by storm, director Paul Feig brings his fresh take to the supernatural comedy, joined by some of the funniest actors working today – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth. This summer, they’re here to save the world!
Girl power. We get it. But look though. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is right there. Why is Thor your secretary?? And where is Mjolnir (Thor’s Hammer)?? Hahaaaa! Seriously, this looks like a great Summer 2016 movie. Peep the trailer.
(Leslie will smack the ghost up out’cha, won’t she? She ain’t ‘fraid o’ no ghost.)

Prepare for full on nerdgasmic fascination! This kid just built a full-size, smartphone-controlled BB8 – just like in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” But that’s not all. He’s telling YOU how to build your own in the above video.
(Angelo’s a DIY genius! Hope he got some sponsor bucks from Ace or some of those product makers though. C’mon…Kick it in billion-dollar businesses. This is pure dopeness.)

Meet Ahmed Best: The Guy Who Played The Most Hated Character Of The ‘Star Wars’ Franchise (Video)
January 13, 2016
Admission: Always hated Jar Jar Binks as a character in the Star Wars reboots (but @ojones1 said he wasn’t so bad… get him y’all… GET HIM! hahaaaaa!). That said, you kind of feel sorry for the guy who played him, Ahmed Best. That is, you will (most likely) when you watch this clip.
In Episode III of These Are The Actors You’re Looking For; Ahmed Best AKA Jar Jar Binks talks Michael Jackson, the backlash and why he would never return to the Star Wars franchise. He also performs his former co-star Liam Neeson’s famous ‘Taken’ monologue, in the style of Jar Jar!
Um… but see how he is still trying to take bullets for creator George Lucas… saying the kids who first watched “The Phantom Menace” had no problem with it. *Sigh* Hollywood…
(Watch the Liam Neeson a la Jar Jar voice flip by Best at the end.)

X-Men: Apocalypse (Trailer)
December 15, 2015
If you’ve kept up with the Marvel over the years then you’d probably come to the same conclusion as I have that the actor Oscar Isaac portraying the villain “Apocalypse” doesn’t, by all appearances, seem like the proper person for the role. However the actress Alexandra Shipp who will play “Storm” in the film does appear to look the part. Just my two cents. We all know the keys to make the film successful is the acting, direction, & the script. We’ll see this summer. I’m looking forward to Memorial Day weekend when X-Men: Apocalypse is in theaters on May 27th, 2016.
“Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.”

This Life-Sized R2-D2 Will Bring You a Cold Beer (Video)
November 3, 2015
Okay, we thought we posted the ‘ultimate’ Star Wars video already (see here). But this clip right here… this clip right here, maaaaaan! Let’s just say R2-D2 is no longer in a galaxy far, far away, helping light saber-swinging Jedi Knights. It’s here on Earth (for about $9000, in your home), helping you get over a hard day at the job by bringing you a cold one. Nice!
Just in time for the unreal fanboy hype for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, electronics company Haier Asia has created a mobile mini fridge life-sized version of R2-D2. Sure, these full-scale remote-controlled droids are $9,000, but they’ll cool your beer and bring it to you.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer (Official Trailer)
October 20, 2015
I’m cautious about getting too excited about Star Wars, but the trailer does look promising… The date is set (December 18, 2015) and the level fan-demonium will be off the charts as the debut date for this next installment (Episode VII) of the Star Wars saga nears. Check out the official trailer for “The Force Awakens” above (which will stoke the fan flames even more).
Ice Cube x O’Shea Jackson Jr.: Father And Son Talk About Son Playing His Father On Screen (Video)
September 14, 2015
Cube couldn’t see ANYONE other than his son, O’Shea Jackson, Jr., play him in the new N.W.A. biopic, “Straight Outta Compton.” And Jr. came to realize that if he didn’t, he was risking another actor messing up his father’s story on the big screen. Locked! In this Back-And-Forth discussion, father and son Cube discuss how their emotions really came to bear in the movie-making process and more. Great watch!
(See how at the end Jr. is hinting at taking on other roles already? Yeah, he’s got the bug!)

A New Superhero Comic With A New Point Of View: Raising Dion (Trailer)
September 12, 2015
Super dope! A comic taking another angle on the superhero saga. Sure, we have seen coming of age stories for superheroes (usually comic/TV/movie creators backtracking their characters’ stories for new content)… but what about Black superheroes (much fewer)… Black kid superheroes (what, like Cyborg off Teen Titans)… How about a widowed Black mom raising her kid, who happens to be gifted with super powers???
Imagine Superman, but from Martha Kent’s point of view. Or imagine Spiderman, but from Aunt May’s point of view. This is a superhero story, but from the parent’s point of view. But unlike her son, she doesn’t have any powers.
Sounds incredible, right? Can’t wait for the first issue, right? Well… GO! Get a FREE downloadable copy (or even better, you can BUY a physical copy to support the production) at www.raisingdion.com.

Matt Damon Stars In Out Of This World Survival Epic ‘The Martian’ (Video)
June 24, 2015
This is the beast mode role that Matt Damon was made to play. Crush Jason Bourne! “In your face, Neil Armstrong!”
During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring “the Martian†home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney’s safe return. Based on a best-selling novel, and helmed by master director Ridley Scott, “The Martian” features a star studded cast that includes Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Donald Glover.
Catch Newsweek’s in-depth exposé with Matt Damon on ‘The Martian.’

Liu Dejian Shows Us How To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before (Video)
June 17, 2015
Okay, so when Captain James T. Kirk and his crew took the Enterprise (and the Star Trek sci-fi franchise) on its maiden voyage, the colloquialism ‘take it there’ did not exist. Five decades after that first five-year mission, Liu Dejian, founder of mainland China’s online gaming firm NetDragon Websoft, did something so bold that true Trekkers should fall to their knees…then get up and come aboard!
Dude BUILT the Enterprise! Well, he built NetDragon Websoft world headquarters modeling it after Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Enterprise 1701-D. And before any haters or nitpickers say a damn thing, let Liu boldly show you the restroom. Duuuuude… the doors whoosh like on the Enterprise!
Enjoy (or hate) the clip above!

Extant – (Season 2 Trailer)
May 29, 2015
Hey, Halle. Over here… We would NEVER wanna shut you up.
Oh, sorry, having a moment with Halle Berry. Now, let’s talk about her show Extant; with its 2nd season jumping off July 2015. The trailer (above) shows action and drama by the bucket load, but not really giving up much in the way of storyline. Good thing there are interviews and story leaks online. Berry returns as astronaut Molly Woods, realizing that humanity is in bigger trouble than ever. The story thus far supported and built to such, but Yahoo TV had an interview that shed light on a significant turn in the show’s direction.
(WARNING: The rest might spoil some of it for true fans of the show already. Watch the trailer now, and go with our blessing.)
“I think Season 2 is a little sexier, a little soapier…It’s a substantial reboot, in that we’re going to come in, in this time and place, several months [after the Season 1 finale], and that puts Molly in a completely different head space. Her mental stability is potentially in question, and we’re going to find out how that happens. There is a significant amount of new casting that changes the landscape of what we’re doing, and it’s less about Molly as mom, and more about Molly as warrior. Molly as a sexy warrior.”
– Liz Kruger, Producer
Okay… so are we talking ‘sexy warrior’ like Storm of X-Men… or is she going to go all ‘Pope’ on us like that show on ABC that we will not mention because, well, we just won’t (but shout to sexy Kerry Washington). Well, the trailer doesn’t show the Woods character flexing any mutant powers. And given the addition of Jeffrey Dean Morgan (playing J.B. Richter), known for his role on Grey’s Anatomy, CBS might be trying to win over some of ABC’s ‘Gladiator’ fan base with some romancing. Either way, check out the Season 2 trailer; and get ready for the Summer premier.
