TJ wraps up the week for you with a look at which films did well last weekend, including some of his disappointments regarding the box office shakedowns. And of course there was a lot of news coming out of the weekend from the San Diego Comic Con, including a new ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ Theatrical Trailer, Joss Whedon revealed the title of the upcoming ‘Avengers’ film to be ‘The Avengers: Age of Ultron’, and Zack Snyder announced a ‘Superman’ ‘Batman’ crossover film. The sad news of course in TJ’s eyes is that it will yet again reboot the ‘Batman’ universe. Cobie Smulders will be appearing on the upcoming TV show ‘SHIELD’ set in the Marvel Cinematic universe. ‘Riddick’ gets a "red band" trailer. ‘Captain America 2’ will feature a significant shift in the Marvel Universe, plus, TJ is not too happy with the proposed cinematic style mentioned by the directors. And man, 2015 is looking like a crazy year for films! We also have an upcoming ‘Peanuts’ film based on the beloved comic strip by Charles Schulz, it’s going to be 3D and CGI. That doesn’t sound like a winner to TJ. And of course, you’ll want to tune in to hear about what you might like to see in theaters this weekend!
