In a packed theatre at Madison Square Garden, thousands of Dragon Ball Z fans gathered to watch the latest trailer for Dragon Ball Super: Broly. You could feel the energy in the room as fans cheered when members of the Engli...
Looking back at most of the best kids shows from the 80's, I think it's safe to say that people don't remember them for their in-depth stories. They had eye-catching premises and some enjoyable characters (looking at you Starscream), ...
With a lack of any cursing, the latest Titans trailer is far less quotable than the first. It is pretty fun, though, to see Beast Boy grin and say, "That's Robin" with a tone of hero-worshiping admiration just as Robin stomps on someone...
First Blood was not a movie meant to have four sequels. The original Rambo movie was more of a character study with a heavy focus on PTSD, America after the war, and a striking performance from Stallone. Then the rest of the movies hap...
The original Robocop was a gut punch of violence to little baby Kyle, when I first saw it as part of an all-night marathon of the Robocop trilogy. The scene of officer Murphy being gunned down haunted and stuck with me to this day. It was...
Death Kiss is a weird movie. Not so much for its content, which is the grindhouse standard, but for its star's uncanny resemblance to the late Charles Bronson. Perhaps stranger than using CGI to bring a dead actor to life, this impersonator...
Video game movies based on actual games generally suck, but oddly movies about video games, but not based on one, turn out pretty good (ignore Rick's opinion, it was good). So I'm semi-excited to hear that Ryan Reynold's has signed on ...
[Schlock Chuggers is an ode celebrating the wacky, strange, obscene, and vulgar in which members of Flixist and Destructoid drink heavily, watch trashy movies, and talk about it. Any suggestions? Feel free to drop them in the comments!] Who...
In the post-apocalyptic wilderness, a lone woman roams. She's armed to the teeth and keeps a trusty hawk as a lookout. She's an escapee from an experimental lab where she was injected with a mysterious super-juice in an attempt to turn her ...
Look, I know that comic book movie news often takes little quotes and blows them out of proportion, and maybe this information from Gambit producer Simon Kinberg is just that, so I'm going to start by letting his quote speak ...
Literal chills. The final installment of the X-men franchise is to hit theaters next February, and earlier today in a Tweet, @XMenMovies released the details for a brand new poster with Sophie Turner (Jean Grey /Phoenix) silhouetted again...
The Raid and The Raid 2 are masterpieces. Literal masterpieces. They are some of the best action of any kind you will see ever. Director Gareth Evans should be directing everything. It's a crime he's not involved with some superhe...
I'm not going to lie about Assassination Nation. The content in this movie is, frankly, uncomfortable to sit through. The movie begins by showing trigger warnings of all of the horrible things that happen over the course movie and tell...
I came into The Predator with no real reverence for the series—I had seen the original film a long time ago, caught Predators on cable television once, and all I know about Predator 2 is that Gary Busey i...
With a trailer that promised surreal, neon-lit landscapes as a backdrop to an unhinged spree of violent revenge, I marked Mandy as the one movie I needed to experience no matter what this year. I had seen Beyond the Black Rainbow almost a d...
Peppermint looked so good on paper. The director of Taken returning to the revenge genre with Jennifer Garner doing her best Linda Hamilton and telling a bad guy she was going to shoot him in the face? That screams like somet...
When I pitched to Flixist's Supreme Overlord Matt a Sharknado Retrospective, I had a pretty clear-cut goal in mind. I wanted to look at all six movies in the franchise, with the most recent one being last month's The Last Sha...
Preacher has always been a show where the quality varies wildly from season to season. Season 1 was overall very good but felt like it was trying too hard to distinguish itself from its source material, which caused the characters to s...
Back in 2013, my family and I sat down to watch a movie that all of my friends were going nuts over online, calling it one of the dumbest movies of all time. It became a media sensation on Twitter, had multiple showings on the Syfy Channel,...
What's that? You've been wondering where a Hollywood movie about a man who takes on a drug cartel to avenge his son's death with nary a weapon but his trusty snow plow? Well, thank your lucky Liam that your cries have been heard. ...
What makes a good bad movie? It's a question I've been pondering over the years as I sit through more and more bad bad movies trying to be good bad movies. Take Skyscraper as a recent example. It's a bad movie, but it's not a good...
If you loved Deadpool 2 (and I’m sure many of you did ) you will love the new teaser trailer for the new cut of it available now. The trailer features a very seductive Deadpool in kind of classic black and white promo (it makes me th...
Five self-appointed protectors watch over the railroad town of Marseilles. They ride through rolling parries, the rock faces of mountains filling the background. The iconography of the American western is alive and well through the South Af...
Terminator 6 is coming with some hope for it not sucking given to the fact that Tim Miller, director of Deadpool, is helming the film and James Cameron is intimately involved. With the movie releasing next holiday season and shoot...
Tokyo Vampire Hotel has a scene in which a legless Geisha vampire who feeds people to the hotel through her vagina laughs maniacally as a fountain of blood streams from an open wound into her mouth and heavy metal music pulses and pounds in...
Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt is a paranoid, insane, and unruly daredevil. Ethan Hunt is also a guardian angel who will save everyone. These are the two ideas that the latest installment of the venerable Mission: Impossible action serie...
UK scientists have cracked the code to box office success, and you won't believe the results! After combing through the emotional arcs of over 6,000 scripts and feeding the data through a bunch of algorithms (naturally), they found out that...
It wasn't too long ago that the world learned there would be a Joker origin movie starring Joaquin Phoenix as a younger incarnation of the villain in 80's Gotham. It was intended to be shot on a budget in the $55 million range and not be a ...
Take a moment to consider how you would imagine a movie about cowboy-ideal-personified Sam Elliott as a man who kills both Hitler and Bigfoot in that order. Fire, tanks, action, Nazis, and then two major showdowns against one of the world's...
There’s a scene in Sony’s The Equalizer 2, the follow-up to 2014’s rather enjoyable original, wherein Denzel Washington’s Robert McCall breaks into a drug den, beats the holy hell out a few guys and pushes his w...
Now here's a movie that'll make you feel like you're in the 1970s exploitation era yet again. Producer J.J. Abrams and his company Bad Robot are bringing you Overlord, an intense horror-thriller about World War II American paratrooper...
While it may initially appear that we've entered an alternate dimension where everyone's obvious fan casting for Nathan Drake has come true, the above 15-minute Uncharted fan film starring Nathan Fillion (that the actor...
Buckle up, buckaroo. After years of rumors, speculation, trickery (let's throw double-crosses in there as well,) Sony Pictures is finally gearing up for Zombieland 2. This news alone isn't much to get excited about, after all, Sony Pictures...
I'm not sure why, but I was kind of thinking that Skyscraper would be something special. Not like, "good" special, but just some sort of low-key, fun action flick that riffed a bit on Die Hard and The Towering Infer...
Robocop is awesome. Do you like cop movies? Yea! Do you like robot movies? Yea! Do you like bloody, satirical science fiction? Yea! Lets put all that stuff together then. It's a brilliant plan. Sadly, after the first film, the franchise kin...
The Fantasia International Film Festival will be kicking off its 22nd iteration from July 12 through August 2 this year in Montreal, and it's packed with the strange and wonderful. I’m a big fan of the strange and wonderful, so I&rsqu...
John Wick was one of the slickest action films of 2015 and was a tour de force or carnage and chaos. All of the bloodshed came from a very simple premise; what happens when you kill an assassin's dog? The answer is murder. Lo...
Keri Russell, well know for her role as Elizabeth Jennings on FX's The Americans, is in talks with J.J. Abrams to come aboard for Star Wars: Episode IX. According to Variety, Abrams and other Lucasfilm executives met with many actresses ov...
Sometimes, I stop to wonder why the Fast and Furious franchise keeps chugging along. What makes these movies so much fun for so many people? Hell, why do I like them? Then I see news like this and I stop caring. Stacker Pentecost Idris Elba...
Of all the contrived horror franchises, The Purge series of films is the most perplexing to me. Series like Insidious or Saw are for the most part, poorly written excuses for a nightmare to emerge onscreen. These films don’t always ...
