When so many movies are released each week and trailers often seem better than the movie itself, what should one do? In this precarious situation, we consult the The CineMagic 8-Ball (TM) to help us see through the nebulous marketing haze. Doing so just might save us all a disheartening trip to the cinema and spare us the shelling out for $7 popcorn and ridiculous concession stand prices. See what the 8-Ball says about this week’s releases… ——————————————————————————————————————————————- 21 & OVER Straight-A college student Jeff Chang has always done what he was supposed to do.

One day as he and his daughter accompany his boss’ preteen…

Ohhh Look…Iron Legion Seen On New 'Iron Man 3' Poster
They say you can’t keep a good [iron] man down. He’s beaten Obadiah Stane, kicked the “demon in the bottle” and even Whiplash. So for the upcoming third installment in Marvel’ s (and Disney’s) Iron Man franchise Robert Downey Jr. is back and he’s brought some friends. Over the years we’ve seen Tony Stark grow from a one many army to enlisting some help in the form of Lt. Col. James Rhodes, and in The Avengers it was, well, The Avengers. In this film he’s going up against The Mandarin (played by Ben Kingsley) and Aldrich Killian (played by Guy Pearce), and he’s gonna need all the help he can get. That help comes…

Ohhh, Look…Check Out Spidey's New Suit For 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'
Now that the Oscars are over we can fully put 2012 behind us and look forward to all the splendor and highly anticipated films of 2013. Super-heroes have been all the rage and thankfully have become more hit than miss as of late. One property that has been and continues to stay near the top of the pyramid is Spider-Man. Last year Marc Webb proved that his slightly unnecessary reboot was on par with the Raimi trilogy, if not better in many ways. Well, Marc Webb’s got a lot of elements and characters to manage if he hopes to top the success of his 2012 film and keep this new adventure from feeling bloated and…

The 85th Annual Academy Awards – Full Winners List
Last night, the 85th Annual Academy Awards ceremony went off without a hitch and aside from some real shockers (like Ang Lee beating out Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino winning for best screenplay) it was an immensely delightful few hours. Despite what some think about Seth MacFarlane he really brought some life to the evening replete with some crass but still witty jokes, classic zingers, sock puppets as well as song and dance numbers that just made you smile. Like him or not we, and the crowd at the BigFanBoy/GoSeeTalk Oscar screening at The Angelika Film Center Dallas, thought he was a treat. But he was only the first in a…
