'Captain America: Civil War' S.B 50 Spot

It's that time of year. While two teams decide which one is the best in the NFL during this year's Super Bowl, the nation watches and waits...for commercials. In the year of dozens of Geek related films, we all waited to see what new trailers we'd get for those films. First up was Marvel and their new teaser for Captain America: Civil War

Review: Ant-Man

Review: Ant-Man

You've seen one Marvel film, you've seen them all...right? I've heard a LOT of negativity going into the production of Ant-Man. Fans of Edgar Wright will likely hate everything about the movie going in because he left the production and they're die hard Edgar Wright fans. Casual fans of the Marvel universe might not care about a movie called Ant-Man. Really? He has the powers of ants? He can control ants? He's the size of the ant? Yet, we're all amped up at the prospect of a movie called Spider-Man. Whether you are interested in this film or not, one thing you can say is that Marvel doesn't fail often with their films. I was heavily interested in this film, mostly due to Paul Rudd's involvement. I'm a big fan of Paul Rudd, since his Clueless days, so I was feeling pretty good about the entertainment value of this film, so let's dig in!

New Ant-Man Viral Promo!

In the world of Twitter and YouTube and the internets in general, there's so many ways to advertise and promote projects. We've seen a lot of online viral marketing the past, the coolest in my opinion was the promotion for Cloverfield that turned into a puzzle game spanning the world wide webs. Now Marvel is jumping into the fray with this promo video for a news show...

The evening began with a very long montage video of all the films, heroes, villains including Guardians of the Galaxy and a great look at Thanos. Kevin Feige came out and said they're focusing on 2015, which means Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-man which they began with.
