More on Joss Whedon and Bryan Singer's Quicksilver plans; Saoirse Ronan talks Scarlet Witch rumors

Bryan Singer's sudden decision to cast Evan Peters as Quicksilver in X-men: Days of Future Past has led to the expected amount of frenzied speculation along with a healthy dose of confusion. Quicksilver, a super fast mutant who has served as both an X-man and Avenger, is one of a special few characters both Marvel and 20th Century Fox are able to use. The same goes for his sister, Scarlet Witch, who is also a mutant and a key fixture on the Avengers team. The deal struck between the studios is simple. Marvel can use them but not mention mutants or that Magneto is their father. Fox can use them without mentioning "Earth's Mightiest Heroes".  When Joss Whedon revealed his plans to use them both in The Avengers 2, fans were ecstatic. But Singer did not get the same reaction with his recent announcement, because it seemed to come out of nowhere.

According to Hitfix, it does sound as if Singer's decision to use Quicksilver is a spur-of-the-moment thing, and that his appearance may only be for a single scene, while Whedon has larger plans that extend beyond the 'Avengers' sequel....

Review: 'Frances Ha' starring Greta Gerwig

Hilarious, insightful, devastating, and jubilant, Frances Ha isn't the sort of film one would expect to see from Noah Baumbach. Best known for his debilitating, hurtful dramedies like The Squid and the Whale or Margot at the Wedding, Baumbach is displaying an exciting new comedic voice and a completely different narrative rhythm than we've ever seen from him before. While he's hardly the only filmmaker to try to do things a little differently, it's safe to say that the real motivation behind this drastic shift is the presence of his muse, the wonderfully-talented Greta Gerwig.

Emma Watson invades Paris Hilton's closet in new 'The Bling Ring' clip

In case you didn't know, Paris Hilton was like really emotional while watching The Bling Ring and stuff. She cried and everything during its Cannes premiere, or at least she "wanted to cry". When you only have two facial expressions it's hard to work up a noticeable amount of tears. Hilton was a victim of the titular gang of spoiled teens, who robbed her home and those of other celebs until they were caught in 2009. The inexplicably famous heiress gave Sofa Coppola permission to use her home in the film, to authentically recreate the crimes, and now we get a peek into Hilton's closet in a new clip.

The 30-second footage shows Emma Watson and the fresh-faced cast rifling through Hilton's unimaginably huge closet, which is filled to the rafters with designer clothes and shoes, some of which are completely absurd. It's a glimpse into the materialistic, celebrity-obsessed bubble these kids were living. Just how deep a look into that world Coppola will actually give us won't be revealed until The Bling Ring opens on June 14th.

'Attack the Block' director Joe Cornish in the mix to helm next 'Star Trek'?

After all of that waiting and secrecy, Star Trek Into Darkness hit theaters and....well, at least the Trekkers turned out for it, I guess. Paramount's probably not doing any backflips over the box office, although it could possibly be saved on the foreign market. But it does make the likelihood of a third film a bit cloudier, especially with J.J. Abrams moving on to helm Star Wars: Episode VII. After serving to the needs of Abrams' schedule on the last film, Paramount isn't going to sit around waiting again, and it looks like a list of names have already begun to emerge as his replacement.

Review: 'Ain't in It for My Health: A Film About Levon Helm', directed by Jacob Hatley

With probably one of the least interesting yet somehow creative names, The Band is regarded as one of the pioneers of rock and roll music before rock and roll music became a big deal. They produced three albums together before the band broke up in 1976. However, Ain’t in It for My Health: A Film About Levon Helm turns its focus onto Levon Helm, former drummer and vocalist for The Band. Putting the focus on Helm’s music career, Ain’t in It for My Health is a long and drawn out documentary about the life and music of Levon Helm. The film is uninspiring, lacking in personality and slightly hollow. 

New trailer for DC's animated 'Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox'

Warner Bros. has been on a roll of late with their stable of animated superhero flicks, coming off a pair of successful The Dark Knight Returns adaptations. Those were directed by Jay Oliva, and he's already back and bringing another acclaimed DC Comics storyline to life with Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, which now has a new trailer.

Review: 'Epic', featuring the voices of Beyonce and Josh Hutcherson

Blue Sky Studios is back in the theaters again with another CG animated feature for the masses. After dominating the box office with Ice Age sequel after Ice Age sequel it seems like Blue Sky is taking a chance with an adventure tale with Epic. This is a gamble for them because besides their main franchise their other main successes are also comedies staring talking animals. Now with this in which they are selling story that seems to be heavily inspired by The Borrowers but mixed with fantasy of Lord of the Rings. As cool as that sounds Blue Sky didn’t succeed at giving this to the audience.

Mike and Sulley are strange bedfellows in the first 'Monsters University' clip

Having a roommate is always tough, but what if yours is a blue furry monster who sleeps in the overhead bunk bed? How do you control all of the shedding? Answer: You don't. The first clip from Pixar's Monsters University shows roommates Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) and Sulley (John Goodman) trying to make the best of their awkward sleeping arrangements.

Review: 'Fast & Furious 6', starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker

There's an interesting contrast between the two major films due out this week: The Hangover Part III and Fast & Furious 6. Both are essentially homegrown franchises that the studios perhaps didn't expect much from, but have grown to become box office lynchpins and true success stories. But whereas The Hangover has failed to sustain the heights of the first film, Fast & Furious has only gotten stronger, and that's with more than its share of adversity. Vin Diesel stepped aside essentially for two movies, appearing at the back end of the sorely underrated Tokyo Drift, and that Justin Lin-directed cameo was like the Mets flipping on their rally caps. Through Lin's four movies, the franchise has only gotten bigger, better, and 'Furious 6' may be the best yet.

Review: 'What Maisie Knew', starring Julianne Moore and Steve Coogan

It's amazing how easily Henry James' 19th century novel What Maisie Knew translates to contemporary society. Clearly, he knew what he was talking about in detailing the story of the true victim of divorce, the children caught in the middle of an ugly tug-of-war for custody. Directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel's adaptation is seen entirely through the perspective of an intuitive young girl, and it makes for one of the most heart-wrenching, powerful, and best movies of the year bar none.
