A New ‘Deadpool 2’ Trailer Has Just Dropped

March 22, 2018 by , posted in Movies

Amidst rumors of reshoots and “poor” test screenings, Fox and those behind ‘Deadpool 2’ made a very smart decision and decided to release a new trailer for the upcoming film. Whether or not there is any validity to the previously mentioned rumors varies greatly depending on who you ask. Though, if this latest trailer is a true indicator than those rumors were greatly overstated.

This is the best trailer for a ‘Deadpool’ film that there has ever been. It finally feels like this movie is actually a movie and not just a vehicle for irreverence. There’s well-choreographed action, solid humor and what seems to be a fully realized story. Also, there’s no random sketch comedy thrown into the trailer that distracts from what we’re actually supposed to be watching. Which is a major breath of fresh air. While this film may not live up to the original, this trailer finally gave me hope that it might have a fighters chance.

We’ve attached the trailer and full synopsis for ‘Deadpool 2’ below.

‘After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover.’ Via Fox

The Second Trailer For ‘Sicario: Day of the Soldado’ Has Dropped.

March 20, 2018 by , posted in Movies

When Sicario was released in theatres back in 2015 it shook the film world to its core. The raw and visceral nature of the film proved unsettling for even the most hardened viewers. Whenever it was announced that sequel was going to be hitting theatres in 2018 many fans of the original were caught off guard. The first film certainly didn’t make it impossible for a sequel to happen but it was hardly set-up for it either.

From the looks of the first two trailers for ‘Sicario: Day of the Soldado’ it seems as if the sequel will be more action based than it’s predecessor, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The film retains many of the same moving parts as the original, though it did lose its visionary director (Denis Villeneuve) and it’s main protagonist (Emily Blunt).

We’ve attached the trailer and full synopsis for the film below.

‘After discovering that Mexican drug cartels are smuggling terrorists across the U.S. border, the CIA sends Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) and former undercover operative Alejandro Gillick (Benicio del Toro) to eliminate the problem by deliberately inciting all-out war between the rival drug syndicates. Along the way, Alejandro revisits his old nemesis to settle scores’ Via Lionsgate

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Final Trailer

March 16, 2018 by , posted in Movies

The final trailer for ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ has dropped! The trailer gives us our best look yet at the new epic from Marvel Studios.

All of the fan favorites are featured in the trailer, with a special emphasis on the Guardians and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. It also seems as if this film might be somewhat of a Black Panther 1.5 because it looks like a lot of the action is taking place on Wakanda. Let’s just hope that this film doesn’t just end up being another setup film in the MCU. This is the first film in a while that looks like it might have some overall stakes for the universe as a whole.

We’ve attached the trailer and full synopsis for the film below.

‘Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and the rest of the Avengers unite to battle their most powerful enemy yet — the evil Thanos. On a mission to collect all six Infinity Stones, Thanos plans to use the artifacts to inflict his twisted will on reality. The fate of the planet and existence itself has never been more uncertain as everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment.’ Via Marvel

But, perhaps the best part about this card is the 85 overall physical statistic. Could we be looking at new Lukaku style tank?

FIFA 18 Ultimate Team: Team Of The Week 25

March 7, 2018 by , posted in Sports

EA Sports has just released the TOTW squad for week 25 of Ultimate Team play. The squad is loaded up with fan favorites and under the radar finds with favorable links.

Griezmann, Muller, and Sane are the obvious standouts from the group, however, there are some low-key gems as well. Dzeko and Gomez are by no means the fastest strikers in the bunch but their finishing stats are absolutely mental. Dzeko comes with 92 positioning and a 90 finishing rating standard! Gomez clocks in with an 87 in each of the aforementioned categories, but accompanies it with an 88 overall strength rating. If you can boost the pace on these guys with a catalyst or hawk card, they just might be pretty lethal in game.

FIFA 18 Ultimate Team: Team Of The Week 24

March 1, 2018 by , posted in Sports

Yesterday, EA Sports released the TOTW squad for week 24 of Ultimate Team play. The squad is loaded up with fan favorites and under the radar finds with favorable links.

Lukaku, Suarez, and Benzema are the headliners for obvious reasons. However, the most interesting card, in my opinion, is the 89 rated Thiago Silva card. The regular Thiago Silva card plays fine but is far less reliable than it has been in previous installments of the game. With the added team of the week boost, the card could get back to its usual ruthless self.

This weeks squad also features some under the radar finds like the Brazilian left-back Ismaily, who boasts some decent stats and an obviously easy connection due to the fact that he is from Brazil. Also, the Quaresma card is really starting to look like a poor man’s Ronaldo. If you can build a team around his iffy league and nation links, he could be the steal of this weeks TOTW.

Stay tuned for more TOTW info as it becomes available.

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Will Be Released Early!

March 1, 2018 by , posted in Movies

In a stunning turn of events, ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ will be released early! The film was originally scheduled to hit theatres in early May of this year. However, following the record-breaking success of ‘Black Panther‘ Marvel has decided to go all in.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ will now be released on April 27th, 2018. There’s more than likely lot’s of different factors that went into this decision however, the film is supposedly very Wakanda heavy, which means that Marvel could be trying to ride the ‘Black Panther’ wave for all that it’s worth. The Avenger’s films have long been considered the biggest films in the Marvel stable, so a move of this magnitude would not have been made without careful deliberation.

Chadwick Boseman Surprises ‘Black Panther’ Fans On Jimmy Fallon

March 1, 2018 by , posted in Movies

‘Black Panther’ has become a cultural phenomenon over the past few weeks. It’s been a long time since a movie has broken into the cultural zeitgeist in such a new and refreshing way.

The star of the film, Chadwick Boseman is also, of course, having a career-defining moment coinciding with the rise of ‘Black Panther’ and Disney could not have dreamt of having a better spokesperson. Chadwick recently appeared on Jimmy Fallon to do some press for the film and while he was there, they had some fun with unsuspecting fans of the film and the results were truly remarkable.

We’ve attached the video from Jimmy Fallon and the synopsis for ‘Black Panther’ below.

‘Black Panther fans filmed a video message sharing what the movie means to them – what they didn’t know was that Chadwick Boseman was right behind the curtain, waiting to surprise them.’ Via NBC

‘After the death of his father, T’Challa returns home to the African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. When a powerful enemy suddenly reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king — and as Black Panther — gets tested when he’s drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people.’ Via Disney
