Ralph Breaks The Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 Official Teaser Trailer
Wreck-It Ralph 2 will be released in theaters this November.
There's not that many martial arts films these days that can compare to the gravitas and nostalgia that many of the past movies of the 70's and 80's have done, and that's due to some good ol' fashion camera work, kick-assery, and the kind of music that would get you hyped and itching for a fight. That pretty much sums up Bloodsport - a martial arts movie that is inspired and based on the claims of martial artist Frank Dux that he participated in the "Kumite"- an illegal martial arts tournament held in Hong Kong. Then rising star Jean-Claude Van Damme was cast as Dux, playing the role of a man who enters the Kumite to honor his shidoshi Senzo Tanaka (played by the late Roy Chiao) and facing several opponents - including "Enter The Dragon" star Bolo Yeung who plays the role of the hulking villain Chong Li.

In addition to a young JCVD playing the hero role, Bloodsport also presented a pretty rounded supporting cast, including Leah Ayers as reporter and love interest Janice Kent, "Revenge of the Nerds" star Donald Gibb as friendly martial artist Randy Jackson, Hong Kong actor Philip Chan as Inspector Chen, and a young Forest Whitaker as Rawlins - one of the government agents sent in to collect Dux after he goes AWOL from his military service.
Van Damme Training In Bloodsport
What makes Bloodsport (released in February 26, 1988 in the US) such a cult classic is not the straightforward and simple story - but the way it captures Van Damme at his finest in the early days of his martial arts movie career. A ton of training montages and fights showcased his ability to split, not to mention looking excruciating and painful to those watching it.

What's also surprising is the soundtrack - Bloodsport had some of the most memorable songs in a martial arts film - thanks in no small part to "The Touch" singer Stan Bush who sang the title theme "Fight to Survive" and "On My Own".
30 years later, Bloodsport is still a MUST SEE classic for anyone who enjoys JCVD, kick assery, and martial arts in general. There are lots of funny scenes and silly quotes to remember too. I'd recommend it just for the nostalgia and to see how films of this caliber back in the day did coming off the influences of renowned Martial Artist legends like Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, and Jackie Chan. Happy 30th Anniversary to the Kumite!
It's just a few weeks away until Earth's Mightiest Heroes and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe converge in what will most likely be the biggest Marvel Studios movie ever made so far, as a new promo image and the possible runtime have surfaced online for "Avengers: Infinity War" - the nineteenth film in the MCU and one that finally sees the Mad Titan Thanos make his move in collecting the Infinity Stones for his Infinity Gauntlet. After the first wave of merchandise appeared (which I featured and which hit online news), here comes more news for the biggest gathering of superheroes since Marvel Studios began things with Iron Man 10 years ago.
According to a report by Comic Book Movie (which also featured the promo art above) and Marvel Philippines, SM Cinema has posted the runtime of Avengers: Infinity War - and it's said to run for two hours and thirty minutes (2:30), making it the longest MCU movie to date if that report holds up.
Avengers: Infinity War will open in the Philippines on April 25, and in the US on May 4.
In what is certainly one of the most surprising cameo bits that just got revealed online and never made it into the final film, Marvel Studios' "Thor: Ragnarok" was actually supposed to have an unexpected guest appear in one of the film's more tense moments - and that's Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy himself! Yes the leader of the Ravagers and Star-Lord's adoptive father would have just waltz in and made a scene with Hela and Skurge... And this is how the scene would have played out then and there.
Thor: Ragnarok - Yondu ‘Deleted Scene’
Actually Michael Rooker's appearance was just a "goofing around" bit that was incorporated into the deleted scenes. You can check that out and more when Thor: Ragnarok hits Blu-Ray, Ultra 4K, and DVD this coming March 6!
In what is certainly a surprising series of events, I featured via Instagram the first batch of "Avengers: Infinity War" shirts to come out in local department store at my hometown in the Philippines. That was later posted in Reddit, and then shared via Comic Book.com, which took a glimpse at the new Thanos standee that shows the Mad Titan wielding his Infinity Gauntlet.
With the film slated to come out in just less than two months, there's plenty to be excited about and prepare for when Earth's Mightiest Heroes and their allies gather to take on the big cosmic baddie looking for the Infinity Stones. Catch Avengers: Infinity War when it hits the Philippines on April 25th and in the US on May 4th!
With the movie raking in big numbers in the box office on its second weekend and bringing a different kind of superhero movie to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hot Toys has released the first preview images of the upcoming 1/6th scale Erik Killmonger collectible figure from "Black Panther". The villainous archnemesis of T'Challa who is played by "Creed" actor Michael B. Jordan has his own version of the Panther suit to combat his rival for the fate of Wakanda, and he has some accessories too that you can view with the rest of the figure as well as get pre-order details at the official Hot Toys page.
Premiering next month and showing off the first look of one of the most iconic Superman villains ever, USA Today has released the first image of actor Blake Ritson as Brainiac - who will be appearing the Superman prequel series "Krypton".
A featurette was also released, detailing what fans and viewers can expect from the villain in the upcoming new DC TV series.
