Fiestination America

BREAKING NEWS: Destination America has acquired the rights to a TV version of the Friday Film Fiesta, which will replace TNA Impact. Or not. But welcome back to the Fiesta! For the last week we have had horrible weather here in Texas, and last weekend saw a bunch of tornadoes, rain, and flooding. This caused blackouts and brownouts, and by the time I was able to get to a PC with a steady amount of power, it was Tuesday.


I haven't asked you anything in weeks. WEEKS I SAY.

  • Box Office News: Last week's new releases go head-to-head with new releases from two weeks ago!
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Point Break, Pawn Sacrifice, and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: Aloha and San Andreas

    A Messed Up Schedule

    Welcome to the Friday Film Fiesta... on a Sunday? Yes, thanks to Andy posting the WOTW a few days late, I figured I would be lazy and use that as an excuse to not post a Fiesta on time. Also I ate a pint of ice cream last night and feel sick. WELP.

  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Eden and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: Mad Max: Fury Road and Pitch Perfect 2

  • In sequel news, we're getting a sequel to The Last Starfighter along with a sequel to 28 Days Later; we also have a name for the next Planet of the Apes

    Welcome to the Fiesta! Mother's Day is Sunday, so get those cards and gifts ready!

    It's Gonna Bay May

    Come one, come all, to another edition of the Friday Film Fiesta, this time on May Day! And as you've probably seen a gazillion times on Facebook over the last three years, here's the picture of N'Sync era Justin Timberlake proclaiming that it is going to be May!


    Speaking of three years, can you believe that it has been three years since my failed heel turn at the release of the first Avengers movie? My how time flies. In that time span, we've seen poster after poster leave the blog, Jeditab becoming more of a selfish asshole, the end of Jopetoberfest, and Andy becoming a_happyguy? And probably some other unimportant stuff happen too.

    Last week I asked you if you liked the new look of The Joker, and you answered no.

  • Box Office News: Foreign box offices are confusing
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for The Last Witch Hunter, Fifty Shades Darker, and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: The Avengers: Age of Ultron
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: Fifty Shades of Grey and Selma

  • The death of movies will be brought upon by you. Yes, you!
  • Many theaters are boycotting Age of Ultron because of the high 3D prices. Also relevant: Don't see Age of Ultron in 3D
  • Hollywood has officially declared that movie piracy must end within 24 hours. Yeah good luck with that, guys
  • Adam Sandler's new movie gets more racist by the minute
  • Every high school in America will be given a copy of Selma
  • Indy horror movie Cube is the latest victim of Hollywood's reboot boner
  • In sequel news, we're getting a sequel to Super Troopers, a sequel to Kingsman, and multiple sequels and a crossover for the 21 Jump Street franchise
  • The second Star Wars spinoff loses its director
  • Hot off the heels of the Lord of the Rings and Marvel marathons, AMC theaters will be screening every Star Wars movie prior to The Force Awakens

    And that brings us to this week's poll.

    Will you stop pirating movies because Hollywood said to?YesNoI don't pirate anything
