Weekend Box Office - "Ouija" the supernatural board game inspired horror movie debuted at number one with $20 million, "John Wick" the action packed movie starring Keanu Reeves as a revenge motivated hit man came in second making $14.1 million, "Fury" the WWII tank action-drama starring Brad Pitt came in third with $13 million.

                                                                             

Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" is next summer's highly anticipated sequel to Marvel's "The Avengers" and the trailer which was supposed to air attached to the ABC television series Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." was leaked early much to the dismay of Marvel and the delight of fans everywhere. Marvel joked that HYDRA agents were responsible. Well, I wouldn't want to be those HYDRA agents. Marvel is owned by Disney and Disney doesn't play that. 


                                                      

"Horns" starring Daniel Radcliffe as a young man who has lost the love of his life in a vicious rape and murder. Adding insult to injury he is believed to be guilty of the crime in the court of public opinion despite the lack of any evidence to support that belief. As if things could not get worst, he begins to grow very recognizable horns on his head that endow him with unwanted supernatural abilities. And you thought you were having a bad day.

                                                                               

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Pt.1" is three weeks away and the latest teaser trailer features the song "Yellow Flicker Beat" by Lorde which will be on the soundtrack. Enjoy.

"John Wick" the new action movie starring Keanu Reeves hits theaters this Friday. The trailer gives the impression that this movie is a completely kick-ass action packed thrill ride. I'm hoping that the movie itself lives up to that hype.

"Constantine" is the new NBC show based on the DC Comics character of the same name featured in the comic book series "John Constantine: Hellraiser". Debuting on network television this Friday, the show is not to be confused with the big budget movie version, this promises to be a truer adaptation of the beloved and popular comic book antihero.

Forget everything you may think you know about the character, this is DCU New 52 version of the aquatic hero. This is both an origin story for the character as well as his "Justice League" debut. If you haven't already seen "Justice League: War" I highly recommend that you do before you see this one.
