New Vin Diesel Movie Will Either Be Amazing Or Horrible…But It Won’t Be Amazing

Vin Diesel drives fast cars and carries big swords. He is not compensating for anything.

Lionsgate just dropped the first trailer for Vin Diesel’s new film The Last Witch Hunter.  It’s nice to see what Alfred has been up to now that Batman is retired in Italy, but otherwise this looks like the worst parts of I, Frankenstein and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters mixed up with some Underworld elements (but not from the first Underworld movie that was okay–all the other ones that sucked).  When are filmmakers going to realize that we don’t want monster movies based on the good guys?  If you make a movie about witches–make it ABOUT WITCHES and not someone hunting them.  Sigh.

See the full trailer for yourself after the break.  The Last Witch Hunter opens to horrible reviews on October 23, 2015.  Not even Paul Walker plans on seeing it.

Double Review of Kingsman: The Secret Service

Holy awesome Colin Firth. Just look at that photo. That alone should intrigue you to see Kingsman: The Secret Service. And if you haven’t quite finished your afternoon tea and made it out to the movies, then this review by Jenny & Ryan will satiate your palate until the next time you get a hankering for a little shower of bullets with your umbrella. Spoilers ahead, so watch your step.

Spared from the bottom five solely because of lowered expectations?

It’s Oscar season, and we are looking for a Gabbing Geek way to cover Hollywood’s biggest night, so today we take a look at the best and worst performances by an Oscar Winning performer while playing a character in a comic book superhero film.  Some of them were future winners when they donned the tights, others already had the Oscars on the shelf.

We are leaving out movies like Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles and other non-superhero comic films, so you gotta be a superhero property to be eligible here! So who is the best and who is the worst (and a bonus for comic completionists, the full list of every Oscar winning performer to play in the genre!)?  Let’s read on, shall we?
