Many are excited for the onscreen continuation of the original Ghostbusters movies. Jason Reitman is picking up where his father left off, catching back up with the characters in the present day. This new film in the franchise, however, is going to completely ignore Paul Feig’s attempt at a reboot in 2016.
Rob Zombie’s next directorial effort, 3 From Hell, begins rolling out in theaters next week. The film will feature the return of the Firefly Family from the director’s previous movies, House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects, and while fans are happy to see the continuation of the series they thought finished, it wasn’t that long ago that the heavy metal icon had his hands on a different horror franchise: Halloween.
Rob Zombie’s next feature film, 3 From Hell, will be released on September 16th and horror fans are nothing if not excited. The movie forms a trilogy, after House of 1000 Corpses, which marked Zombie’s directorial debut, and The Devil’s Rejects, which continued the story of Corpses and brought us the seeming end of the Firefly family, as they drove headlong into a shower of police gunfire, all while “Freebird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd blared from the speakers.
It’s been several weeks since the initial reports about Spider-Man no longer being a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe surfaced. Even so, it remains one of the most hotly debated topics in the industry. And everyone seems ready to pick sides. Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has called for everyone to relax, while Hawkeye himself, Jeremy Renner, went to social media to plead for a resolution that would keep the webslinger in the MCU.
Avengers: Endgame took a herculean effort to create. The logistics alone of working with the various schedules to try and incorporate all the characters within the Marvel Cinematic Universe was likely a nightmare. But, even so, the three hour epic came together to the delight of fans and critics alike. In fact, the franchise capper now sits atop the box office throne as the highest grosser of all time.
Avengers: Endgame is not only the biggest movie of the year, but also holds the top spot on the list of the highest grossing films of all-time. Given the massive success that the MCU Phase 3 capper had, it’s been under intense scrutiny since before it even opened in theaters. And while most will agree that the sequel wrapped things up as well as could be expected, there were still some minor quibbles to debate.
The use of time travel in Avengers: Endgame has been consistently debated since the film's release back in April. Though the movie repeatedly attempted to explain the complex mechanic, it nonetheless played things a little fast and loose with how it functions.
The Punisher is one of the most popular characters in Marvel’s repertoire. Frank Castle, the man behind the skull T-shirt, was first introduced as an antagonist for Spider-Man. It wasn’t long afterwards that he went on to star in his own self-titled series, though, which really took off with the boom of the anti-hero in the 90s. The comic would spawn several spinoffs featuring Marvel’s most violent vigilante and he became an enduring figure in pop culture.
Universal’s The Mummy was quite the hit for the studio back in the late nineties. At the time, no one really knew what to make of the film, but a great marketing campaign, combined with a reboot that succeeded in both updating the story for modern audiences, as well as paying homage to its forebears, helped the film thrive upon its release.
