The only good thing about February’s theatrical releases? It isn’t January. If you’ve been here before at the beginning of the month, you know the deal. MHT ranks the upcoming releases based on what we’re looking forward and provides links to the trailers for you to check out. It’s no different this month as Keanu Reeves is back as John Wick and is joined by 3 other sequels and a handful of other movies that couldn’t find a better release date. Without further ado, here’s the list of expected theatrical releases for February, ranked by anticipation:Read More →

It’s Christmas season! Here’s the best Christmas movies of all time followed by a list of movies for people who prefer for Christmas to be in the background of the film:

6. Elf

“SANTA! OH MY GOD! SANTA’S COMING! I KNOW HIM! I KNOW HIM!”

5. Miracle on 34th Street (1947)

“I believe… I believe… It’s silly, but I believe.” 

4. Scrooged

“It’s Christmas Eve! It’s… it’s the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we… we… we smile a little easier, we… w-w-we… we… we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year, we are the people that we always hoped we would be!”

3. Home Alone

“I made my family disappear.”

2. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

“Shitter was full.”

1. A Christmas Story

“You’ll shoot your eye out!”

And for those of you who would rather not have Christmas be the central theme but still want to get in the holiday spirit:

6. Eyes Wide Shut

“Life goes on. It always does, until it doesn’t.”

5. Love Actually

“There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus?”

4. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

“Anyway, by now you may wonder how I wound up here. Or, maybe not. Maybe you wonder how silly putty picks shit up from comic books. The point is, I don’t see another Goddamn narrator, so pipe down.”

3. Lethal Weapon

“I’m too old for this shit!”

2. Trading Places

“I lost… One dollar.”

1. Die Hard

“Yippee-ki-yay, mother…” (You know the rest.)

Every Wednesday (hopefully!), we’ll drop “10 Things” a list of 10 things about a hot topic in movies:

Since it feels like forever since Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was released (it was March 25th!) and SO MUCH was said about the movie, let’s talk about everything else going on in the cinematic comic book universe. Here’s the 10 things we’ve learned about comic book movies since the Bat from Gotham took on the Son of Krypton (for about 5 minutes, 3 if you take out the part where Wonder Woman checks her e-mail):

1. Suicide Squad has ANOTHER incredible trailer!Read More →
