Welcome back to another edition of Clips That Make Us Smile! We have another good one this week as Grand Theft Auto 5 comes to life, the Terminator himself pranks unsuspecting tourists, we get the conclusion to How the Age of Ultron Should Have Ended, and the Honest Trailer for Toy Story. There is too […]
The Rock shook up the box-office this past weekend with his disaster action film, San Andreas. The special effects heavy movie was expected to open in first, however it exceeded expectations with an estimated $53.2 million dollar opening. This is good news for Dwayne Johnson whose last movie, Hercules, under-performed last summer. There is a […]
In its first week of release, Disney’s Tomorrowland narrowly won the top spot at the box office over the past weekend. The futuristic family adventure made an estimated $32.2 million dollars over the three day period, despite getting mixed reviews from critics and audiences. (Read our review here.) The effect of any negative buzz will […]
It is officially the summer movie season and people are flocking to theaters. The top three films offered a buffet of counter-programming, that totaled over $150 million dollars in ticket sales over the three day period. Unsurprisingly Pitch Perfect 2 ended up taking the top spot over the weekend, knocking Avengers: Age of Ultron out […]
It wasn’t a matter of if the Avengers: Age of Ultron would dominate it’s opening weekend at the box-office. It was only a matter of how much Marvel’s juggernaut (see what I did there) would pound its competition into submission. The only question was if it could top The Avengers largest opening weekend of all-time, with over $207 million […]
Welcome back for another edition of Clips That Make Us Smile! This is the weekend that Marvel fans have been waiting years for!

Director Joss Whedon was faced with a monumental task. He had just created the biggest comic book movie of all time with The Avengers. A film that was the first of its kind. A melding of various superhero brands that Marvel Studios had established in solo movies for Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, and Captain […]
Typically films create a world that you travel and visit with for two hours at a time. However Marvel Studios looked to take the serialized nature of their comic books and translate the storytelling technique to film. The result is a cinematic universe that spans eleven films and over eight years of material to follow […]
One of the larger complaints about the original Avengers movie, was that a lot of the key moments in the film were spoiled in the trailers. Since that point, Marvel Studios has seemed to have taken heed and been particularly strategic with the plot points and moments they release from their upcoming films. Iron Man 3 […]
Synchronize your watches. We have about six weeks to go until the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes engage in battle and we get to watch it all go down in the Avengers: Age of Ultron. The television campaign is ramping up, so expect to see the Marvel icons everywhere you look until you are actually sitting in […]
Marvel has been extremely strategic with the reveal of their crown jewel, Avengers: Age of Ultron. We got the first trailer last fall, which introduced Ultron and the “no strings on me” moniker. A second trailer was released that honestly didn’t show much more than than the first one. With less than two months to […]
The very first image that Marvel fans saw of the Age of Ultron, was of Tony Stark’s Iron Man helmet being reforged into the face of Ultron. Marvel Studios used a brief teaser trailer to announce the villain and title of the Avengers’ sequel, to those in attendance at the San Diego Comic Con in 2013. However, […]
