Morning Talk: The Curse of The Avengers & The Last Action Movie

The Avengers… what more can be said about it? The greatest movie in modern times pretty much sums it up. It has single handedly smashed almost every movie record in history.

Morning Talk: Sin City 2 to Finally Start Shooting

The first Sin City from Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez (and Quentin Tarantino) starring Jessica Alba, Devon Aoki, Alexis Bledel, Poweres Boothe, Rosario Dawson and Bruce Willis was such a breath of fresh air. There was just something about it that I couldn’t get enough of, thats why it was so frustrating when it seemed like rumours of a sequel were just that, rumours. But now, seven years later, a press release by the Weinstein Company has confirmed that a Sin City sequel is finally going to begin production.
