When Michael Haffner reviewed Draft Day here at We Are Movie Geeks, he wrote: “Draft Day still serves as a carefree way to get through a Sunday afternoon until the 2014 football season kicks off. A few late in the game twists will make audiences cheer and seeing Costner act as a capable leader for the whole team makes Draft Day an easy win for football fans.” – read all of Michael’s review Here)

I missed Draft Day on the big screen but just caught up with it on Blu-ray courtesy of the folks at Lionsgate. I was less enthused than Michael. The title doesn’t lie. This film is all about the NFL draft and draft day to a mind-numbing degree. It’s a real ‘inside baseball’ look at the process but I suspect most folks who are not fans of the NFL will find their eyes just glazing over early on.

A new clip has arrived for X-Men: Days of Future Past, which sets up Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) time traveling mission in the movie. Watch as Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) prepares him for his trip to the 70s, as Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellen) watch on, offering their advice on communicating with their past selves, who are currently at odds. We also have a new international TV spot that offers more footage of the future Sentinel attack. 20th Century Fox screened the movie for critics and a few select fans last night. Check out some of their reactions, which are extremely positive. While some fans laughed off Evan Peters' version of Quicksilver, his scene seems to be one of the best in the movie, and its being called a scene stealer. If that's not enough for you, we also have the cast's appearance on Good Morning America from earlier today.

Press screenings for X-Men: Days of Future Past took place this week in preparation for the upcoming junket, and now, the first reactions have emerged via Twitter, as they always do. As you’ll see below, there seems to be unanimous praise for the film, with every single Tweet exclaiming how incredible and amazing it is.

While I wasn’t expecting X-Men: Days of Future Past to bomb or anything, I really didn’t think that it would turn out as well as it apparently did. Don’t get me wrong, the film looks great, and I’m extremely excited for it, but I was always a bit skeptical of how Singer would handle all the timelines and the enormous group of mutants that he was dealing with. Things easily could have become messy and muddled and that was always a concern of mine.

It looks like that’s not the case though,...
