ARGYLLE Review: Meta-Spy-Comedy Underwhelms on Every Level
A profoundly underwhelming D-level effort from mostly A- and B-level talent, director-producer Matthew Vaughn’s (The Kingsman: The Secret Service. X-Men: Days of Future Past, Layer Cake) latest attempt at a franchise starter, Argylle, perplexes, irritates, and disappoints in almost equal measure. Nothing, not even...

THE KING'S MAN Trailers: Red or Green, They're Both Action Packed
20th Century Studios has dropped a brand-new, action-packed trailer, in two flavors, red or green for Matthew Vaughan's The King's Man. While we definitely recommend the red band trailer - there's nothing quite like hearing Gemma Arterton tell you...

Review: KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE Tastes Pretty Yummy
The world of espionage has become a bit dour of late. Our postmodern proclivities have caught up with us, and thanks to our impossible missions, our Bourne fascinations and a Daniel Craig-ified Bond, we've lost a little bit of the...
Review: KINGSMAN - THE SECRET SERVICE Delivers An Entertaining Ride
The world of espionage has become a bit dour of late. Our postmodern proclivities have caught up with us, and thanks to our impossible missions, our Bourne fascinations and a Daniel Craig-ified Bond, we've lost a little bit of...
Destroy All Monsters: Superheroes Last All Summer Long
Note: Major spoilers for X-Men 7 follow. In the last scene of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Wolverine wanders through X-Men Heaven, distinguishable from the church at the end of LOST only by the absence of pan-theistic iconography in the...
The Many Faces Of Fan Bingbing
The biggest new film in theaters this week in most of the world is X-Men: Days of Future Past, and you can read Peter Martin's review here. It is a crowded film though, providing us here at ScreenAnarchy with an...
Review: X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Grim Yet Satisfactory
The makers of the latest installment of a superhero franchise based on comic book characters set themselves a tall order: a prequel that is also a sequel to more than one movie, as well as the middle installment of a...
Final X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Trailer Rolls Out The Big Names
Director Bryan Singer plays school teacher calling out the morning attendance in the latest - and apparently final - trailer for the upcoming X-Men: Days Of Future Past and it would appear that everyone's in class. This one plays like...
Another Day, Another Uninspiring X-MEN Trailer
It's at the minute and fifty second mark of the latest trailer for Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days Of Future Past that the trailer gods were kind enough to make explicit what had been bothering me about it until that point....
X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST: Watch The Japanese Teaser
To put it mildly, I did not like the first trailer for Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days Of Future Past. At all. Enough so that I was hesitant to click on the new Japanese teaser for the film. I don't like...
X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST: Watch The Horrid First Trailer Now
Who's up for the glittery teen romance version of The X-Men? Because that appears to be what director Bryan Singer has in store for us with X-Men: Days Of Future Past. Sentinels? Nope. Clenched hands and wet eyes and pregnant...
Peter Dinklage Joins X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST
Director Bryan Singer took to Twitter earlier this evening to announce the latest cast member for his third X-Men outing (and the franchise's sixth film). Straight from the horse's mouth: Officially like to welcome #PeterDinklage from #GameOfThrones to #XMEN #DaysofFuturePast...
Everything Old Is New Again: Patrick Stewart And Ian McKellen Join New X-MEN
Magneto and Charles Xavier, meet Magneto and Charles Xavier. Casting on the upcoming Bryan Singer directed X-Men: Days Of Future Past took an intriguing turn yesterday when Singer tweeted a welcome to Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen to the cast...
Weinberg Reviews X-MEN: FIRST CLASS
First, a little history. It was Bryan Singer's X-Men (2000) that more or less heralded the massive superhero movie renaissance we're currently enjoying (or mired in, depending on your tastes), and while it was hardly the first or even...
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS Review
A good dozen, maybe more, amply endowed young ladies clad in only their lacy underthings strut into a high class club, each one soon vanishing into a private booth, accompanying at least one wealthy male party attendee as "Palisades Park"...
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS Review
X-Men: First Class is a total pleasure, hitting all the action beats we've come to expect from big-budget studio productions, and adding much that makes it unique, at least among the sorry crop of sequels and prequels and mutated...
Hollywood Grind: How Matthew Vaughn Saved a Franchise
What a difference a director makes! Compare, for example, X-Men: First Class with X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine (with your eyes closed, if you wish), and the vast chasm of talent between Matthew Vaughn, Brett Ratner...
