Willy Wonka Cast Reunion in Chicago
We all grew up wanting to know what Snozberries taste like (obviously the Snozzberries taste like Snozzberries), and we all wanted to visit Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. But we all know, there were only five golden tickets. Those five lucky kids are all grown up now, and will be reuniting at Chicago Comic Con next... Read more »
Live Action Captain Planet Movie?
Believe it! This morning I received a text message from a friend that stated “Confirmed: live action Captain Planet movie!” I, of course, had to google this info, and sure enough she was right! Cartoon Network and “Transformers” producer Don Murphy and partner Susan Montford’s Angry Filmworks are teaming together with “Transformers” producer to make... Read more »
X-Men: First Class Trailer
So the long awaited trailer for X-Men: First Class is finally online. I must say this is definitely looking better than the Wolverine origins movie (sorry Marvel, but it was kind of awful). I honestly had my doubts about this movie, but this trailer has made me very anxious to see this in theaters. Although... Read more »

Twilight Eclipse Parody by The Hillywood Show
I’ll admit, I haven’t seen Twilight Eclipse, and it’s not exactly on my “to do list.” I did see the first two films, and they were alright, I’m just not a fan. However, I can appreciate a good parody when I see one. The ladies of The Hillywood Show have put together a Twilight parody... Read more »
Tell Gordon Hello: The Joker Fan Film
An amazing fan film has been floating around amongst my friends on Facebook, and I decided to share it with all of you. There’s no doubt that the late Heath Ledger did an astonishingly eerie job playing the Joker in The Dark Knight. He created such a memorable character, it’s a shame we won’t... Read more »

Well, it has been on eventful weekend for yours truly. Friday was my college graduation, which was a long time coming, and Saturday I visted the set of Transformers 3. Michael Bay and his crew have been taking over the streets of Chicago for a week now, and after seeing everyone’s pictures from last week,... Read more »

Run-in with a Decepticon on I-94
Last night, I believe I was driving alongside a Decepticon from the Transformers 3 movie. It was dark, but I distinctly saw the words “Safeguard” and Decepticon symbols. I’m a new fan to Transformers myself, so I’m not as well versed in all the back stories and names of the robots. So after some extensive... Read more »
New Narnia Trailer Released (VIDEO)
When I heard that Disney dropped the Narnia franchise I was worried. I absolutely loved the first two films (and both orchestral soundtracks are on my iPod). Watching The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe special edition on DVD twice in a row one weekend, with all the behind the scenes features, actually inspired me... Read more »
Meet the newest Twilight vamp, Bree Tanner (VIDEO)
Twilight Eclipse will be hitting theaters in two weeks, and we should expect to see some new faces. Bree Tanner is one of the newborn vampires debuting in this next installment of the Twilight Saga. Bree is played by 15-year-old actress, who previously played the little girl in the Silent Hill film. Yahoo! goes on... Read more »

Controversial Disney Characters
Disney has been one of the pioneers of animated feature films, and we’ve all grown up with their classic movies. But, as one blogger, Amy Cook, brought to my attention, “Disney movies actually entail some pretty blatant racist and sexist overtones.” Are there messages in these cartoons that some would find offensive? Amy’s blog features... Read more »
