Terrance Howard explains what happened with Iron Man



We finally know what happened between Terrence Howard and Marvel.

Terrence Howard was on the Bravo T.V. show called "Watch What Happens Live!" with host Andy Cohen. Howard was asked why he wasn't in the other Iron Man suits. He responded with:

"It turns out in order for - this is going to get me in a lot of trouble - it turns out that the person that I helped become Iron Man ... when it was time to re-up for the second one, took the money that was supposed to go to me and pushed me out."
"The word was that you wanted the same money as Downey," said Cohen.

“We did a three picture deal, so that means that you did the deal ahead of time. There was going to be a certain amount for the first one, a certain amount for the second, and a certain amount for the third. They came to me with the second and said, "Look, we will pay you one eighth of what we contractually had for you, because we think the second one will be successful with or without you. I called 'my friend' that I helped get the first job, and he didn't call me back for three months,''

Cohen asked how his relationship with his "friend" was now. Terrence responded maliciously with:

"Oh I love him, God's going to bless him." 


I think it's interesting that Howard didn't mention what he thought about Don Cheadle's performance, or that he took the role. I'm sure there are other sides to this debacle. I hope Marvel, Robert Downey Jr., and Kevin Fiege respond back to this publicly because I really want to hear their side of this story. 

What do you think? Comment and share the post!

Thor The Dark World Review



This review is dedicated to my good friends Grant, Theron, and Jacob (Sonny).

WARNING: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW. PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FILM. If you don't care please enjoy.

It's time for one of the biggest superhero movies of the year! How does this movie hold up on it's own against big budget movies such as: Iron Man 3, Man of Steel, and Star Trek Into Darkness? I think it holds up ok, and is a good sequel to Thor and The Avengers. This movie has so many funny and awesome moments in it. I do have some problems with the humor though.

In the first Thor, the humor was fine. I liked it, and some of the lines made me laugh hard. With this, there are some funny scenes that felt out of place. For example, when Loki "dies" there were people in my audience who were really shocked and surprised. After that emotional gut punch there's a scene where they're making jokes about it. I would've been ok with it if they didn't make this movie much darker than the last movie. Those scenes just felt like they belonged in a different movie.

The acting in this film is good. Chris Hemsworth is always good as Thor, Anthony Hopkins is a good Odin, but who really shines in this movie? Tom Hiddleston as Loki. That guy owns that role. He is fantastic. This was his best portrayal of that character in his career. Whenever I saw him on screen, I was invested, I cared, and at some points I was a bit terrified by his performance. He has presence, this "force push" in his acting that just gets to you.

I feel like I'm going straight into Galactus' stomach for loving Loki in this movie. Everyone loves Loki, but I find my self asking my self... "Did you all forget what this guy has done?" To quote the Black Widow "He killed 300 people in 2 days." There's loving a "bad boy", then there's supporting a terrorist.

Action scenes in this movie. Those scenes are mind blowing. I'm still speechless.

This movie had pros, and it had some cons, but I love the movie. I really like everything in this movie. If you're going to see this movie, pay FULL PRICE, you're going to have a good time. Have a nice THORS-DAY.

Pacific Rim Review



Umm.... what was was all the hype about? I understand that a lot of people were excited for the robots fighting the monsters, but other than that... there isn't anything engaging in this movie.

 Many have told me not to judge this movie as an actual movie, but as a 2 and a half hour video game. My response to that is.... not going to happen.

Guillermo Del Torro, Warner Bros, and Legendary Pictures released this as an actual film, it took peoples money to see something on a big screen, like a film, so it will be judged as a film.

What were my thoughts on this giant anime with a budget?

It was long, it had pretty visual effects, and it was boring. Other than the fight scenes, this movie isn't good. There are cliches, stupid characters, and too many sub plots for one movie.

But that isn't why you went to see this movie! You saw it to see Giant Monsters fighting Giant Robots. How is that part of the movie, you ask?

It's cool. It's cool. The special effects were really good, but unfortunately most of the fights in this movie are shot in the dark, so you can't really tell what's going on.

As I said, I thought the movie was long, boring, but it had cool fight scenes and robots.

I think you should see this just for the fight scenes, so this is a RENTAL!
