Back in 2013, director Ilya Naishuller made a short first person music video entitled Biting Elbows: Bad Motherf*cker. The kinetic energy surrounding the video and story caught the attention of film director and producer Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted).

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

(Nathan M Rose) 7/19/2016 9:04 AM EDT
In my opinion, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is one of the most underrated movies of the year so far. It had everything an adult action film should have. It was fast paced, full of explosions, had a real plot and great CGI. I can't understand why it received such bad reviews when it ran in theaters, but I for on... Read More

In 2013, two films came out within six months of each other about the United States White House being taken over by terrorists and the President taken hostage. One film succeeded; one didn't. And, in the wake of box office success, a sequel was green lit for Olympus Has Fallen entitled London Has Fallen.Following in the footsteps of Olympus Has... Read More

With the Hunger Games now complete, and the Divergent series winding down, Lionsgate's executives were looking to launch a new franchise and when Gods of Egypt of was pitched to them, they bit. Unfortunately, things didn't pan out as well as they had hoped, once it was released in theaters. Now, looking for new... Read More
