Godzilla, Our Saviour

Godzilla, Our Saviour

What I’ve always loved about Godzilla is the sea monster’s willingness to fight our foes, while not necessarily caring at all for the well-being of us humans. Godzilla treats humans as just another species on the planet—nothing special about us. And happily, I can say that this latest of version of Godzilla has just that […]

GODZILLA STOMPS BACK TO THE TOP OF THE HEAP

After seeing Gareth Edwards’ feature debut MONSTERS back in 2010, I knew immediately this creative dynamo was going to be a force to be reckoned with. MONSTERS, about a news photographer helping his bosses daughter flee Mexico as giant squid-like alien invaders terrorize the countryside, was an exercise in character rather than being anything close […]

Godzilla will smash his way into your heart

Godzilla will smash his way into your heart

Godzilla is absolutely everything you could, or should, expect from a movie titled Godzilla.  That is monstrous amounts of fun.  Any serious complaints I could make bounce off the subject matter as if Godzilla really could not give less of a damn what anyone thinks.  He is like a pre-historic irradiated and mutated gargantuan honey […]

Elstree 1976 – Kickstarter

When it comes to the topic of Star Wars, I usually defer to the superfans of the series such as staff writer Brian West to pen the articles concerning up and coming movies…but as a student and fan of the entire movie making industry, I called dibs on the article you’re reading because it’s a […]

Sigourney Weaver Confirms Her Role in Avatar Sequels

Sigourney Weaver Confirms Her Role in Avatar Sequels

As the website’s resident Avatar geek (I refuse to consider myself an Avatar’d anymore) I’m thrilled to read that in the sequels to Avatar the science-fiction veteran and all around badass Sigourney Weaver will be on set during the filming of all THREE sequels. It was announced some time ago that James Cameron was planning […]

Watch Quicksilver Tear Things Up

Watch Quicksilver Tear Things Up

I have to admit, I’ve been fearing the release of the nest X-Men movie because I feel that there’s no way that this film could possibly live up to the hype. I like many, are fearing a repeat of X-Men 3 insofar that they grasp too far and try to do too much with little […]

Box Office Report May 5th

This week’s Box Office Report saw a spider almost catch a captain.  The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opened with $91.6 millions just shy of Captain America: The Winter Soldier’s $95 million.  The Other Woman managed to hang onto second place, while Captain America slipped from second to fourth, because just about everyone has seen it.  Meanwhile […]

WPR First Look Movies: Lauren Kate’s Fallen

WPR First Look Movies: Lauren Kate’s Fallen

Fans of Lauren Kate’s Fallen series have been waiting for this since the release of the bestselling novel in 2009 and here it is, the first image from the upcoming film. Addison Timlin looks like she stepped off the cover of the novel in that dress. She plays Lucinda Price, a 17-year-old girl sent to […]

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a complex and satiating adventure.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a complex and satiating adventure.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is, in my opinion, the best of the Spider-Man movies, and one of the best superhero films so far.  They break away from what could be argued as the standard structure for a superhero film as much as possible.  It is going to be a definite challenger to Captain America in […]
