20th Century FOX released their new action/adventure/thriller film, “The Maze Runner,” into theaters this weekend.

The movie stars: Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Aml Ameen, Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Will Poulter.

In the new flick, character Thomas, shows up in a rusty elevator called The Box, and is greeted by other boys in a grassy clearing called the Glade, which is surrounded by tall, gray walls that enclose off the entrance to the maze. Thomas is unable to remember anything about himself, but Alby, the leader of the Glade, tells him that it’s happened to everyone and that his name will come to him soon.

However, they do have runners that run the maze during the day, Read more »

According to a new report from Comicbookmovie.com, some new, possible groundbreaking, filming details have been revealed for the upcoming “Avatar” 2,3 & 4 films that are currently planned for some point in the future. It turns out that visual effects legend, Douglas Trumbull, told The Hollywood Reporter that he’s currently met up with Avatar producer, John Landau, to discuss shooting Avatar in 120 frames-per-second, which is well above the standard 24 frames-per-second.

It turns out that since movies are shot digitally these days, it is very possible to shoot them at 120 frames-per-second. Douglas said: “I know that Cameron admired Showscan Trumbull’s earlier invention of a large-format high-frame rate projection system and that he is a huge advocate of high frame rates HFRs.

Screen Gems (Sony) released their new thriller flick, “No Good Deed” into theaters this weekend. I just checked it out, and thought it was terrific, serving up major suspense, thrills, drama and more. It was way better than I thought it would be. It stars: Idris Elba, Taraji P. Henson, Leslie Bibb, Kate del Castillo, and Henry Simmons.

In the new flick, psycho character, Collin (Idris Elba), gets out of prison and kills his hot girlfriend (Kate del Castillo) for cheating on him while he was locked up. From there, Collin eventually makes his way to a stranger’s house, posing as a guy who just got in an accident and just needs to use the phone to call a tow truck.

The stranger’s house just happens to belong to a woman named Terri (Taraji P. Henson), and we soon learn that Terri’s husband is the guy that Collin’s girlfriend cheated with. Ahh, it’s starting to become clear. Anyways, the movie turns out to be a huge plot cooked up by Collin to get revenge on the guy who was banging his girlfriend while he was in prison. Read more »

The Weinstein Company released their new drama/sci-fi flick, “The Giver” into theaters this weekend. i just checked it out and thought it was just ok. The plotline was a little too strange for my taste, but I thought it had a decent ending with lots of suspense, action and more. It stars: Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Brenton Thwaites, Alexander Skarsgård, Katie Holmes, Odeya Rush and Taylor Swift.

The movie is set in a utopian society in 2048 AD. After a big war, “the community” decided to get rid of colors, therefore different races and feelings, such as love and anger, because they felt that they only caused conflict. In their community, everything is about sameness, thus there is no money or social status. Everyone owns the same things, and everyone lives in a same sized house. Read more »
