With just under a year until it's release, we have our first official image from the sci-fi film, Ghost in the Shell, starring Scarlett Johansson. The movie, based on the massively popular anime and manga series, has been criticized for it's casting choice of an American actress over a Japanese actresses for the role. Fans are sounding off on twitter and various other social media sites. While the movie is retaining the name of the original characters and setting, this is far from the first manga adaptation (even recently) to 'whitewash' the main role. Ghost in the Shell is due out in theater March 31st, 2017 and also stars actors Michael Pitt, Pilou Asbæk, and Takeshi Kitano.

Featuring all the X Men we've seen in the trailer, a giant Apocalypse and the message, "only the strong will survive," X Men: Apocalypse is keeping with this gritty tone. If you haven't, you can see the 9 X Men: Apocalypse Empire covers that combine for a much larger photos as well as the 4 horsemen featurette showing art for Apocalypse's minions, Magneto, Storm and new comers Psylocke and Angel.

It's been officially confirmed, we now know the title of our next Spider-man film and the release date. Revealed on twitter and later confirmed by Sony at Cinema Con, Spider-Man homecoming will be the 3rd time the series is being rebooted since the original Sam Raimi film hit theaters back in 2002. Through a joint venture with Sony, Marvel was able to strike a deal for on screen character rights, thus allowing for the inclusion of our favorite web-slinging hero in May's Captain America: Civil War. It's also heavily rumored that the appropriately titled, Spider-Man: Homecoming will feature the villain, the Vulture, one we've yet to see on screen that would have been a part of the, now cancelled, sinister six spin off from Sony. In typical Marvel fashion, it's also rumored that some other Marvel heavy hitters might appear in the Spider-man solo film, possibly Iron Man, come next summer as well. Fans are already speculating just what the source for the story of Spidey's latest solo film will be based off of with a lot of people guessing it could be based on the early Amazing Spiderman series. While we don't know much about the film as of now, we do know that Marissa Tomei was already cast as Aunt May as well as Zendaya as a side character Michelle, who's been described as an important character for upcoming films but not a love interest of actor Tom Holland's Spider-man. Spider-man: Homecoming will be distribute by Sony, July 7th, 2017.

The mech-action game grew to immense hype after its 2013 reveal and subsequent 60 awards including Best in Show, Best Multiplayer, and Best Console Game but was heavily criticized for it's lackluster campaign and the fact that EA refused to release the sales number's early on although as of last fall, the game was rumored have sold over 10 million copies.

One of this years most anticipated and innovative action films hits theaters this week but does it pack a punch or is too generic? Hardcore Henry, formerly titled "Hardcore," made a big splash last year at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) with it's creative film style and nonstop action, it became STX Entertainment's first film picked up from a festival after a bidding war between Lionsgate and Universal. The movie has since been building hype to it's April release. Hardcore Henry is shot entirely through a rigged helmet equipped with 2 go-pro Hero 3's (pictured below) and over 10 different actors and stuntmen including director of the film and Biting Elbows member, Illya Naishuller. The movie get into it fairly quick with a handful of humorous moments and fast paced fight scenes but the only part that really is a loss for this film is the villain. Not only is he not menacing, there's no explanation behind what he can do. As to not give away his role in the film, you'll wonder often why someone that powerful hasn't won already? While some of the scenes were paced fantastically well given what they were trying to accomplish, some of the fight scenes become a dizzying frenzy, making you glad this movies just over an hour an half. District 9's Sharlto Copley plays a character named Jimmy, who becomes Henry's sidekick of sorts through various, often funny, interaction and is probably the only memorable character in the film (For reasons that come very apparent when you watch it). If you're walking into the movie theater looking for a memorable story line with a strong supporting cast, this is obviously not that film for you, however, Hardcore Henry's experience just won't be the same off the big screen. Have a punk rock, action packed good time this weekend with Hardcore Henry!
