Every January, I like to put together a list of my most anticipated films for that upcoming year. It’s fun to peek ahead, and it’s also fun to look back at that list at the end of the year, and see how many of my “most anticipated” actually ended up
By Ashley Bergner Box Office Buzz Well, let the speculation begin. The first trailer for Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” arrived earlier than expected, thanks to a leak (Marvel proved to be a good sport, claiming — tongue-in-cheek — the work of pesky “Hydra” agents). At any rate, the trailer
With Marvel firing on all cylinders and Phase Two of its movie series under way, it seemed like a great time to review their Phase One of movies and also to take a look at the media itself. This series of articles will not only review the Marvel movies but
By Ashley Bergner Box Office Buzz Watch out, Iron Man and Thor — the gauntlet has been thrown. Though the two Avengers may have had stronger origin films, it’s Captain America who has the best sequel, wrapping up Marvel’s Phase Two solo Avenger films with a politically-tinged thriller that’s tense,

If you had told me a couple of years ago that I would one day be desperately searching for a Hawkeye figure I would have laughed at you. If you had told me a couple of years ago that I would one day be desperately searching for a Jeremy Renner

Studios. “Steed & Mrs. Peel,” featuring the characters from the influential 1960s British spy series “The Avengers,” launches in August, following up on BOOM!’s recent
By Ashley Bergner Box Office Buzz If you’d asked me at the beginning of the year what film I thought would become the biggest hit this summer, ironically, I wouldn’t neccessarily have picked “The Avengers.” Although it was the film I was personally most looking forward to, much of the
By Ashley Bergner, Box Office Buzz After months of hype and media coverage, and years of build-up in previous Marvel superhero films, “The Avengers” is finally here. And it’s one heck of an epic ride. The film was absolutely worth the wait, and director Joss Whedon’s combination of non-stop action,
