Check it out: Edge of Tomorrow Sequel confirmed will be titled: Live Die Repeat And Repeat

By

WB is in major need of franchise, so much so that they have officially confirmed a Edge of Tomorrow sequel which will be titled: Live Die Repeat and Repeat.  Is it just me or is that tile a bit repetitive? Stars Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, and director Doug Liman are all set to return. While Edge of Tomorrow wasn't the blockbuster Warner Bros. was hoping for in the summer of 2014, it found something little beyond a cult following on home video once the studio renamed it: Live Die Repeat. As of now, no release date for the sequel has been announced.

Personally I feel like a follow up to Liman's original time traveling flick could be nothing more than an improvement.  I found the first film to be a bit of a let down, but I have to admit I have never been a fan of the Groundhogs Day trope.  Perhaps this film will find a new way to play with that premise, maybe this time focusing more on future time travel that doesn't always involve the same day or characters.  If nothing else this sequel announcement is a good enough reason to revisit the original on blu-ray.

Back in the summer of 2014 on episode 31 of the confirmed epic podcast we reviewed Edge of Tomorrow, be on the look out for that in next week in a retro rewind edition of the pod.

     As Skeletor said in the 1987 film Masters of the Universe , "Everything comes to he who waits, and I have waited so very long for this moment." Yes, after one year of preorders, waiting, concepts and preproduction pieces, constant changes, small victories, crushing defeats, and sheer anticipation, Castle Grayskull has finally arrived to my home. Earlier this afternoon my wife texted me a picture of the enormous box sitting in our kitchen and I've been jazzed ever since. Heck, I've been singing the Castle Grayskull song all week now to help myself pass the time. Before I even open the box, I have to say that while there have been plenty of ups and downs on the journey from having Castle Grayskull exist simply as a sketch on paper to existing as an actual product delivered to my door, I think there are some folks that need to be commended. First, regardless of all other issues I don't think anyone can say that Scott Neitlich ("ToyGuru") and the Fo

The Night He Came Home Again! - A 'Halloween 2018' Review

By

When we first learned that Director: David Gordon Green would be talking over the iconic Halloween franchise, my thoughts could best be described as skeptical at best.  How was the guy that brought us Pineapple Express going to bring Michael Myers home again? Also where did Danny McrBride fit it in? Would Blumhouse and Green do the un-thinkable by allowing McBride to dawn the mask, and having the world famous physical comedian wield who knows what as his weapon of choice? Find out the answer to these, and many other questions after the break in our Halloween review....
