"Birds of Prey" is a wild, romping ride that must be experienced on the big screen. The technicolour palette seen across the exquisite costumes, sets, and other visual effects are a true feast for the eyes. Harley Quinn is very much the driving force of this project, as is Margot Robbie. Not only is her performance as magnificent as ever, she was a producer and championed for key aspects of the film's story and production including getting women to direct and write and the fact that this is an ensemble of women as opposed to something that only focuses on her.

Harley Quinn is fresh off a break-up from Joker and once the worst criminals in Gotham learn of this, her life is in danger since she is no longer under his protection. The other women/girls that are part of the Birds of Prey are introduced gradually through a non-linear timeline as we come to learn how they fit into Harley's journey as well as their own back stories.

All of the leading ladies are cool and fresh characters, and the villains Roman Sionis / Black Mask and Victor Zsasz (whom I've lovingly dubbed 'Villain Boyfriends') are incredibly charismatic with powerful chemistry that brings the audience something never seen before. The action is largely lead by Harley, Black Canary, and Huntress and it's all incredibly dynamic to watch.

All the DC fans that have been clamouring for new DC content can rejoice! Not only is "Joker" getting rave reviews from the film festival circuit, the "Suicide Squad" spin-off "Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)" is officially kick-starting it's promotional campaign.

Margot Robbie has been at the forefront of driving this project creatively since she first began working as Harley Quinn in the Oscar-winning DCEU film "Suicide Squad" (2016). It was her insistence that played a key role in components such as the film having a woman director (Cathy Yan will be the second woman to direct a film in the DCEU and the first Asian woman to do so), the film being another ensemble piece in which Harley has friends instead of traversing her journey all alone, and likely other creative aspects that we the audience have yet to learn about since we haven't seen it yet.

There is a teaser trailer that is being reported to only be playing in cinemas (for now) and in all likelihood will be heavily pushed in the trailers before "IT: Chapter Two" (another WB release that is only a week away from it's release). However, as the Internet is a virtually unstoppable force nowadays, that trailer has already leaked online and began to make it's rounds. In it, Harley wields her giant mallet that was teased as an Easter Egg in "Suicide Squad" and multiple other characters (both 'heroes' and villains) are teased in the shots that are cut together in rapid succession. Get ready, folks! Another DCEU hit is on the way!

On this new poster our honest Abe, looks less presidential, and a lot more badass, which isn't hard to do since he's notonly carrying an axe, but also walking atop a burning train. Hmmm, I don't seem to remember that in the history books, but it doesn't deter me from wanting to see the flick.

EW has the pictures from the upcoming Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I, for one, cannot wait. Not only do we get to see our 16th president kick some major butt, none of the vampires seem to sparkle (sorry Kellan, but its true).

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is set to hit theaters June 22, 2012. And trust me when I say that these vampires aren't going to be the hot, sensitive type, that eat poor bambi instead of the young supple human flesh it really desires.

“It’s not a sermon in any way, but it is interesting to look at vampires as the all-encompassing, unspeakable, unknowable evil,” says Benjamin Walker, who stars as the bearded slayer-in-chief. “This evil moves among us, and maybe lives next door. It’s an ideology that we don’t fully understand, but they live by it.”

The movie is based on the best-selling historical/horror mash-up by Seth Grahame-Smith and directed by Timur Bekmambetov, who directed the fast paced Angelina Jolie movie Wanted. So while there will be humor, and well vampires, there will also be real events. The vampire story is interwoven into the history we already know.

And as if that wasn't enough to intrigue you, the cast is phenomenal. Two words: Alan Tudyk, yep I'll be there.

Here’s the official synopsis of the book…

“Indiana, 1818 – Moonlight falls through the dense woods that surround a one-room cabin, where a nine-year-old Abraham Lincoln kneels at his suffering mother’s bedside. She’s been stricken with something the old-timers call “Milk Sickness.” “My baby boy…” she whispers before dying. Only later will the grieving Abe learn that his mother’s fatal affliction was actually the work of a vampire. When the truth becomes known to young Lincoln, he writes in his journal, “henceforth my life shall be one of rigorous study and devotion. I shall become a master of mind and body. And this mastery shall have but one purpose…” Gifted with his legendary height, strength, and skill with an ax, Abe sets out on a path of vengeance that will lead him all the way to the White House. While Abraham Lincoln is widely lauded for saving a Union and freeing millions of slaves, his valiant fight against the forces of the undead has remained in the shadows for hundreds of years. That is, until Seth Grahame-Smith stumbled upon The Secret Journal of Abraham Lincoln, and became the first living person to lay eyes on it in more than 140 years. Using the journal as his guide and writing in the grand biographical style of Doris Kearns Goodwin and David McCullough, Seth has reconstructed the true life story of our greatest president for the first time-all while revealing the hidden history be
