I just finished watching Nightcrawler - it's really good. Jake's acting is splendid, I am surprised he did not get nominated in the Oscar for his role.

Watched Captain America one last night (after receiving a non broken copy from netflix).

Does that make him the oldest super hero, everyone else seemed to be from future times or even modern times while he is from world war.

Best part of the movie, the captain america living up to his role in all those performances.

I wouldn't bother watching "The Equalizer," since it was quite mediocre, due to immense cheesiness.

Really? I had wanted to see it in a theator but missed it.

Getting the avengers bd from netflix, hope its as good as it is. I fear it may be overhyped.

Was going to see JUpiter Ascending but from reviews and everything, I decided to forgo spending the $9 on it and will wait until BDs come.

Spiderman will finally join Marvel's Cinematic Universe.

 

[Schabrak]

Sad that Marvel will still have control over the ASM franchise, but at least Arad has no more as of right now aside from being an ex. producer.

More importantly though, does that mean Marvel will stop murdering mutants left and right. Come on Fox, do a deal too!

Thor is 1000+years old and he's practically immortal. Namor would be a couple years older than Rogers, if he had or ever will be introduced into the MCU.

Glad they're restarting the Spiderman franchise honestly. I was kind of annoyed about the first reboot and I didn't care for the new franchise either. It wouldn't have made sense to have the Garfield Spiderman be involved with The Avengers, he was too young. Hopefully we won't have to sit through a third origin story since it looks like he'll debut in the next Captain America movie.

 

[Riku]

Awesome news! That also means most likely Spidey will have the same key role he had in the Civil War comics, making the third CA even more interesting and exciting

 

[goldb]

Due to the events that actually do take place in the MCU during this time, it's unlikely that we would see a different incarnation of Spiderman but if possible I would love to see someone like Miles Morales as Spidey. It's unlikely because Peter Parker is the original Spidey and I guess fans would flip if as soon as he is brought to MCU, they decide to give them a different incarnation.

 

[danzouismadara]

I think its because I watched it a day after watching john wick, so I automatically compared the two.... John wick is much better! Equalizer seemed like a third class movie that can barely make it to dvd lol

Featurette for SPECTRE:


The Man from U.N.C.LE trailer:


I like this trailer a lot, though I'm not familiar with the franchise. My only concern is it being a 2mins+ trailer, I hope it doesn't spoil/ruin the movie too much.

 

[Riku]

Crimsom Peak trailer is out

This seems great. Creepy, beautifull, Victorian. Del Toro and Hiddleston. I don't usually look forward to horror films, but this is an expection.

Primer
Directed by: Shane Carruth
Screenplay by: Shane Carruth
Starring: Shane Carruth, David Sullivan

It's ambitious and hard to follow. Reminds me a lot of Chronicle and The Social Network but these two are easier to follow and are much better movies in my opinion.
