At this point in time we as an audience are used to seeing sequels being spit out into cinemas left and right. If a movie has some form of story that can be continued through several other films, a franchise is born. Who can blame them? If they end up with a franchise it could mean loads of cash in their pockets. Then again we’ve seen a few other films that have tried to get past the starting line towards a potential sequel only to putter out after the race begins. Regardless, it’s a risk no matter which way you look at it, unless you’re Pixar. Pixar Animation Studios has…

Many fans gathered around to check out the latest Disney has to offer from their animation and live-action plate at this year’s D23 Expo. This was Disney’s big year, showing off all of their latest projects in their own convention instead of doing so at the annual San Diego Comic-Con. They started off the presentation with a big montage of new films that they would be presenting, animation and live-action. Stepping out from behind the blue curtains was Rich Ross, the Chairman of Walt Disney Studios who welcomed us all to the event, saying that our overall love and enthusiasm for this company fuels each employee there to make quality…

Every single Marvel and movie-going fan out there have been licking their lips in anticipation over the inevitable release for the Joss Whedon-directed film “The Avengers.” Finally we get to see the likes of Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Bruce Banner/The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Hawkman (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) in action. Unfortunately none of the footage that we all saw at today’s D23 Expo is not available online at the moment, so instead I’ll describe what was shown so far. *Nick Fury (Jackson) is talking to the now-captured Loki (Tom Hiddelston)…

It’s been a long time coming for director Tate Taylor and author Kathryn Stockett, but now the day is finally upon them. A couple of years ago Stockett could only dream that her novel “The Help” would get a great deal of attention. Now here she is, just a mere few hours away from the release of the movie based off her bestselling fictional novel. She must be overwhelmed with joy over all of this and has been for awhile. When your best friend directs the movie based off your book, you know it’s in capable and trusting hands. Let’s refresh your memory on the story line for “The Help”…

Plenty of actors have stated that playing a villain is always tons of fun. But when you’re playing a character that’s so incredibly revolting as a human being, could it be more difficult to crawl into the mind of that person? Perhaps, but there are actors like Bryce Dallas Howard who end up pulling it off without a hitch like she does in “The Help.” She takes on the role of Hilly Holbrook, a woman who’s mindset is anything but progressive. She’s the leader of the group of gullible wives in 1960s Jackson, Mississippi where she leads the charge for racial segregation against the African American housemaids. For many people…

There’s plenty of history that’s seeped deep within the proverbial veins of America. Some of it may be great, but there’s an equal amount of awful prejudice that has been intertwined with this nation for many years. Although we got rid of segregation against minorities decades ago, we still can’t forget that part of our history. That’s where Kathryn Stockett’s “The Help” comes in. The novel brings us back into the midst of the civil rights movement that brings to light how, despite the obstacles, equal rights can still be achieved. We got the opportunity to converse with several of the stars from “The Help.” The biggest stars easily were…
