SYNOPSIS: This is the story of one of the X-Men’s most beloved characters, Jean Grey, as she evolves into the iconic DARK PHOENIX. During a life-threatening rescue mission in space, Jean is hit by a cosmic force that transforms her into one of the most powerful mutants of all. Wrestling with this increasingly unstable power as well as her own personal demons, Jean spirals out of control, tearing the X-Men family apart and threatening to destroy the very fabric of our planet. The film is the most intense and emotional X-Men movie ever made. It is the culmination of 20 years of X-Men movies, as the family of mutants that we've come to know and love must face their most devastating enemy yet -- one of their own.

May 13th is X-MEN DAY (#XmenDay)
I didn't know there was a "X-MEN DAY"? Celebrating the launch of tickets on sale for DARK PHOENIX, and probably the end of the X-Men license (hur), 20th Century Fox has since declared May 13th to be "X-Men Day", and we have a Twitterful of homage art and flashback visuals and testimonies.
Shown up top is artist Adam Kubert taking a look back at the iconic imagery and incredible creative team behind the 90s run of X-MEN - AKA "comicbook source", while directly below is "The X-Men Legacy" from 20th Century FOX, which looks back at the celluloid incarnations thru the years, in anticipation of the June 7th U.S. premiere for "Dark Phoenix", cheers.
As "corny" as it seems on the surface, the reality is that it is a literal end of an "era", as the merry band of mutants return to Marvel (courtesy of being purchased by Disney), and we will see a brand new generation of X-Men on screen in the future, quite literally after "Dark Phoenix". Even if "New Mutants" ever get released on screen, they will also be brand new faces previously unseen in the franchise with FOX, so that might be an interesting "starting point", if ever Disney decides to do so ... no doubt the MCU has their own cinematic plans, so we'll see what incarnation greets us in the future ...

"Every Hero Has A Dark Side" TV Spot for #DarkPhoenix
"Dark Phoenix" versus "Magneto" in this 14-seconder tv spot for DARK PHOENIX, what is to be the last film in the X-Men celluloid saga, after which the license reverts back to Marvel/Disney. And "technically", the OTHER X-Men related film "New Mutants" is set to be released via Disney, so ... all these "complications" will come to an end soon :)
"DARK PHOENIX" in U.S. theaters June 7, 2019.

"Dark Phoenix" International Trailer
Thanks to Superherohype, we have a heads about this "International Trailer" for DARK PHOENIX (*in addition to the latest official trailer) - which essentially chronicles the evolution of Jean Grey and the ultimate "creation" of the "Dark Phoenix". At this celluloid juncture, I am all about seeing more X-Men killed off, because everything feels like a re-thread - understandably "rebooted" - with the flaccid stakes appealling only to me because this is coming all to an end with Fox, to be absolutely honest.

DARK PHOENIX Official Trailer Has Dropped! (#RIPMystique?)
And while this was the "teaser", released and featured here today, is the official Trailer for "DARK PHOENIX" = 20th Century FOX's last movie with our favourite mutants-in-tights, before they return to Marvel, under the Disney fold!
Just looking at the footage here (#RIPMystique?), it gives me hope that perhaps the filmmakers will be able to fully show the super-powers these characters possess, beyond the playground displays in past movies, IMHO. And while Yes, I am indeed spoilt by "One Punch Man" (:p), wouldn't it be wonderful of FOX could have shown viewers how excitingly powerful these characters are, so that folks could wish they were in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be able to stop Thanos? How wonderful of a bird-flip would that be? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA .... hey, I love Marvel movies too, okay? :p
"In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite -- not only to save Jean's soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.

#XMen's DARK PHOENIX Poster Release
In anticipation of a NEW (second) trailer for DARK PHOENIX (drops somewhen Wednesday, U.S. time), comes the release of a new POSTER (featured above), which appeared after a "leaked" poster image (featured below / sans text) floated thru the www earlier.
And while I adored the first two films (directed by Bryan Singer), subsequent offerings had kept me on the fence ... but with the recent news of X-Men leaving FOX and "returning" to Marvel, I am looking forward to seeing the current incarnation, in a sort of closure to the years of "celluloid X-Men" I have been familiar with, at the very least on my -Men on Film fan-blog :)
SYNOPSIS: "In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey.

Film Review: LOGAN (*Spoiler Free Version)
The “Wolverine” does not need to be wearing his superhero-leather/spandex-suit to be a "hero”, and in LOGAN he is a hero plenty, even if he denies it himself.
THIS is the berserker-Wolverine we should have had 17 years ago, fueled with animal rage and a bloodied tally without mercy and guilt-free consequence.
As “James Howlett”, the “human” overcomes the “mutant”, and let everyone around him fear his rage and sincerity. And “Charles Xavier” (which until even today, I wonder why everyone deems to call him “Ex-Xavier”?) wields the acting chops - unseen in all previous X-Men movies - and is an utter force of emotion and depth.
LOGAN is a “X-Men”-lore, but it is also a damn finely acted ensemble piece, at the very least between Hugh Jackson and Patrick Stewart.
Be Warned: This is NOT a “Happy Joy Joy”-film at all, and you might walk out of the cinema with nary a dry eye. I left heartbroken, myself...
Brutal. Emotional. Bloody Good. Bloody Awesome, in fact!
A very easy 4 x Boxes of Popcorn over 5 full boxes, and I am utterly glad I stuck to my guns to watch this today. You have absolutely no reason NOT to watch this film.
Cheers
Andy
ASIDE:
As the credits rolled til the very end, and the cinema hall lights came on, I overhead a couple behind me having a disagreement, with the lady friend walking away exclaiming; ”I told you no end credits, right???!!!” - So yes, to avoid any unpleasant viewing experience if you have not watched LOGAN as yet - NO, there is NO END CREDIT Scene, thank you.

South Korean Black-n-White Promos for #LOGAN
This Korean trailer for LOGAN features images/scenes from the upcoming feature film in stark black and white - most times seen via the lens of the film’s director James Mangold, which makes me wonder if FOX would do well with a BLACK AND WHITE FILM release in the near future - on Blu-ray perhaps? Ala MAD MAX: FURY ROAD’s “Black & Chrome” Edition?

Crushing Adamantium with Hydraulic Press - Promo for #LOGAN
A Hydraulic Press Proves to Be a Poor Match Against the Pure Adamantium in Logan’s Claws … Do not try this at home!! or at any where else!!
LOGAN opens in cinemas everywhere March 3rd, 2017.
On first viewing, I thought the “Hydraulic Press Channel” was a made-up-viral channel meant to promote LOGAN, but it IS an actual channel, showcasing videos of their hydraulic press essentially pressing down on anything and everything!
