Here Are Your 2016 Oscar Winners!

by J.C. Marquez

After coming up short on five previous Oscar nominations, Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in “The Revenant.”  The film’s director, Alejandro G. Inarritu, won his second consecutive Academy Award for Best Director–becoming the first director to win back-to-back awards in the category since Joseph L. Mankiewicz won in 1949 and 1950 for “A Letter to Three Wives” and “All ABout Eve”.

Brie Larson’s much talked about performance in “Room” earned the actress her first Academy Award for Best Actress, beating out previous winners Cate Blanchett (2014) and Jennifer Hudson (2013).

The Final ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Trailer Is Even More Insane Than The Last One!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I’m still not overly familiar with the Mad Max series, but this insanely cool final trailer for the upcoming Fury Road is making me rethink my entire life.

The film features an entirely new cast, and though the last Mad Max film came five years before I was born in 1985, Fury Road will not act as a complete reboot, and will instead be set following the events of 1981’s Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.

In the film, “Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.”

This trailer is gorgeous, action packed, and it instantly excited even a Mad Max virgin like myself. Take a look at the video below, and be sure to let us know if you’re excited for this one. Mad Max: Fury Road hits theatres on May 15th!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Just yesterday Warner Bros. debuted three sexy new TV spots for next month’s Mad Max: Fury Road, and today they’ve debuted an absolutely gorgeous new trailer that’s chock-full of insane looking new footage.

As I noted yesterday, to this day I’m a Mad Max virgin, but that’s a problem that I’ll definitely have solved by the time May 15th rolls around.

In the film, “Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken.

by Shawn Madden

A signed image of Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) as “Mad” Max Rockatansky has surfaced online (via Twitter). While the image may be a bit blurry, this is the first official look at Hardy in George Miller’s Fury Road. Apparently Hardy gave these out to the crew  on the last day of shooting.

“Mad Max Fury Road” sees Mad Max (Hardy) caught up with a group of people fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by the imperator Furiosa (Theron). A battle erupts on the road in front of them over the course of the film as they attempt to push the rig to safer terrain.

No release date has been set yet.
