Back in May, it was reported that MGM was planning a remake of the classic western 'The Magnificent Seven.' The new version would star…

Before I begin my review for this hotly anticipated movie, it feels only necessary to first send my deepest sympathies to the families, and survivors of the horrific shooting at a theatre in Aurora. It was not what anyone would wish to be connected to the movie, and is a tragedy that should never have happened. Despite the great loss the level of…

The Wachowski's ('The Matrix') and Tom Tykwer ('Run Lola Run') have teamed up for what looks to be something incredible in …

The Dark Knight Rises, arguably the biggest movie of the year, is here. In fact, it’s so big that a single podcast couldn’t contain it. This week on The Plot Hole, the gang – Sam, Simon, Steven and myself – talk everything Batman in a two-parter nearly as epic as the film itself.



In the first half, you can find our discussion on the two teaser trailers for Man of Steel (one of which would have been attached to your screening of The Dark Knight Rises)…

'THE DARK KNIGHT RISES' REVIEW - THE IMAX EXPERIENCE

"Why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up." -…

Four years of build-up can do quite a lot. It gets the people pumped to see what's going to happen next, it raises the expectations considerably since the team behind the film is taking their time and since it's the end, people desperately want to know the fate of all…

Addressing Concerns Over Nolan's Final Batman Film

                                                  Batman: "BANE! Look at what the fuck you did to Gotham!"

Without a doubt, a majority of…

Tom Cruise may not be your first choice when thinking of actors to play badass vigilantes, but I'll be damned if he isn't bringing it hardcore in this first trailer for 'Jack Reacher.' I'm a sucker for this type of character, whose moral compass is unencumbered by trivial legalities. 'Jack Reacher' is based on the…

The marketing blitz for Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises' rises continues. A brand new trailer for the film just hit the web and I'll be damned if it's not fantastic. I love the way the first half is edited, and the shot of Batman (…

Tick, tock, tick, tock. The days between now and July 20th seem as if they are each fifty hours long. To keep you sated, here are two new images from Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises.' True, they are a bit grainy, perhaps even fuzzy, but I am a big fan of cinematic poses and both…

I'm really touchy about spoilers, and tend to go into hyper-precautionary mode when it comes to TV spots. More often than not, the TV spots are what divulge the biggest spoilers. However, I am happy to say that nearly all the footage from this first most recent 'Dark Knight Rises' TV spot is compiled from other trailers and clips we've already seen. I do like the way it's edited together to…

As the smoke from the Earth-shattering success of Joss Whedon's 'The Avengers' starts to clear, the focus returns to the followup Marvel…

As we move closer and closer to July, and move slightly out of the wake of 'The Avengers' titanic success, I suspect the marketing for 'The Dark Knight Rises' will get more and more aggressive. Today, a quartet of new banners for the film hit the web. They aren't too spectacular, but they play to both the…

I'm really excited for John Hillcoat's 'Lawless,' the period gangster movie about a family of bootleggers. The movie stars Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy,…

1960's 'The Magnificent Seven' is heralded by many as one of the greatest westerns of all time. It also happens to be the best re-imagining/remake of …

In 2008, Ben Stiller directed a little comedy called 'Tropic Thunder,' I'm willing to bet a few of you saw it. It was the story…

At this point, I don't need to see any more footage, stills, or trailers to increase my desire to see Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises;' I'm pretty maxed out on excitement. However, I'm not about to deprive our faithful Spillios of these things. To wit, I offer these three recently released…

Marvel's The Avengers Movie Review…

When the Avengers truly assembled for the first time in San Diego two summers ago, Robert Downey, Jr. boldly stated that this film was "the most ambitious movie [he's] ever seen", even over the phenomenon that was Christopher Nolan's Inception. It has taken four years to develop the main…
