Cinema Sins Doesn’t Understand the Vanishing Cabinet
Cinema Sins has gotten around to doing Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince. It’s pretty good, but they really don’t seem to understand the storyline with Draco and the Vanishing Cabinet.
Granted, maybe they’re only paying attention to the movie version of the story, but I’m pretty sure they mention somewhere that Draco spent the year repairing the Vanishing Cabinet, and that’s why he was testing it with an apple and a bird. Beyond that, the team does find some nifty plot holes to poke fun at. I never bought into Ron and Hermione’s relationship either!

And Just Like That, I’m Totally in Favor of Marvel’s New Inhuman Policy
There has been a lot of talk about the Inhumans recently, and for good reason. For one thing, they’re going to get their own big budget movie in 2018 as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For another thing, there has long been a rumor that Marvel wants to reposition the Inhumans in their comic book universe to take over for the X-Men, because FOX Studios owns the rights to the X-Men movies, and Marvel wants to find a way around that.
For the longest time, I thought this was a ridiculous idea. I’ve never been an Inhumans fan, and I thought it was just silly for Marvel to force them down our throats just to get their way and spite FOX.
But after watching the mid-season finale for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and reading Axis #7, my normally curmudgeony mind has been altered! It’s as if I’ve personally undergone comic book Terrigenesis!
Even Blackbolt cheered when Skye shot that guy!
Consider me completely on board with Marvel’s new Inhumans policies and plans. I’m a huge fan of the X-Men, but right now, they are old news. The Inhumans are the way to go, and I can’t wait to see all of Marvel’s plans come to fruition!
What the heck am I talking about? Join me after the jump to see what I mean! Oh, and SPOILERS for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Axis and Avengers: Age of Ultron!
Nifty New Trailer for Pixar’s Next Film, Inside Out
That was a pretty funny trailer, but I’m still not sold on Inside Out. I love the voice cast, but the premise kind of bugs me. This very much seems like a ‘wacky characters’ type of kids movie. Not saying those are always bad, but I expected more from Pixar.
Granted, I thought Brave would be more, but that was a huge let down. Bears? Come on!
Here’s an Official Final Trailer to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
For some reason, this doesn’t really feel like a goodbye to me. I bet it’s going to be a fun movie to watch in theaters. And I doubt they’ll ever make anymore. But something tells me The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, is just going to be too big and bombastic to be a very good bye. But maybe I’m wrong! At least they always make good trailers!
6 Things I Want to See in the Suicide Squad Movie
Apparently, by all accounts, the Suicide Squad movie is really happening. Even though big names like Will Smith and Jared Leto have been cast, I’m still having a hard time believing that DC Comics and Warner Bros. have chosen the Suicide Squad over the entire rest of their future lineup to make a movie about. Suicide Squad is the direct follow-up to Dawn of Justice. It boggles the mind!
But hey, I’m not one to turn down a good superhero movie, and maybe this will be a really good superhero movie!
Why isn’t the giant shark man in the movie?!
The Suicide Squad is one of those great comic book concepts. It’s about a team of super-villains put together by the government to run dangerous black-ops missions, and in exchange they get time knocked off their prison sentences. It’s a pretty ingenious way to take a bunch of classic villain characters and turn them into protagonists without erasing their menace. And quite honestly, the concept makes for a pretty awesome and original superhero movie. This won’t be an origin story, this won’t be a hero’s journey; this is an action film starring comic book badasses…so maybe that’s why they’re making it next!
Filming is scheduled to begin next year, so there’s plenty of time for producers to check out the six things I want in the Suicide Squad movie! You can check them out after the jump, and feel free to add some of your own ideas in the comments!
