[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”20079″ img_size=”800×400″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When you’ve played the same character of a number of films and years, it is only natural that a certain exhaustion might set in. Especially when you feel you’ve done what you can with the character. That was the position Chris Hemsworth described he was in after playing Thor over a number of pictures and especially after Thor: The Dark World. In a recent interview with Yahoo Movies UK, he explained the mindset he was in after the second Thor solo film. …tonally, we never quite landed on what [The Dark World] should have been. It became…

Netflix, in their never-ending quest for new  projects have decided to go Monster Hunting. Rachel Talalay has been brought in to direct an adaptation of Joe Ballarini’s kid’s book series: A Babysitters Guide to Monster Hunting. The three book series follows babysitter Kelly Ferguson and her fellow secret society babysitters who have been charged with the task to protect children who later in life are destined to change the world. At this time, the plan is to only adapt the first book in the series and see how it is received before taking on the others. Joe Ballarini will be…

So now that we have survived the anticipation of an event that was almost two years in the making, the question is now, What did we learn from Season 8, Episode One: “Winterfell” Here’s some of it but not all: 1)Well for starters, The North was not happy that Jon Snow left them to try to recruit Denaerys Targaryen. He was supposed to be THEIR King. That was a point that both Lyanna Mormont and Sansa were more than happy to remind him of. What they failed to realize was that even though Jon Snow was flattered that they chose…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”19770″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]So we finally reached the season premier of Game of Thrones. So what happened? Well….only one person died that we had seen before (The poor Umber boy) so that was very un – Game of Thrones. However, a bunch of truths were revealed. Mostly thanks to that life of the party Bran. But more on him later. We opened with the Unsullied, Denaerys, Jon, the Dothraki, and the two Dragons making their arrival to Winterfell. Sansa extended a reluctant welcome but the Northerners were not happy to see their guests. Why? They were not Northerners. Sansa is not…

If there is one thing that I have written about in the past that I find amusing is the inevitable need for a  Comic Villain to monologue. This is brilliantly explained in the first Incredibles in this conversation between Mr. Incredible and Frozone: Frozone: So now I’m in deep trouble. I mean, one more jolt of this death ray and I’m an epitaph. Somehow I manage to find cover and what does Baron von Ruthless do? Mr. Incredible: He starts monologuing? (chuckles) Frozone: He starts monologuing! Mr. Incredible: Yep! (laughs) Frozone: He starts like, this prepared speech about how “feeble”…

When you’re the Emperor in the Star Wars Universe, or at least you used to be before some asthmatic guy in a black helmet tossed you into the abyss, you apparently retain your powers of clairvoyance. That appeared to be the case with Star Wars’ Ian McDiarmid, who was revealed Friday to have reprised his role as Emperor Palpatine in saga finale Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. As it turns out, McDiarmid maybe predicted his return to the franchise in a September 2017 interview with BBC Scotland. This came when he was asked if he thought he would ever get…

$274.7 million dollars. That appears to be the magic number to get a sequel made. At least where Tomb Raider is concerned. The original 2001 Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie made $274.7 million dollars in box office receipts. That inspired a 2003 sequel that did much worse, taking in only $156.5 million. With the drop in sales, the Tomb Raider franchise swung and jumped off the cliff…at least until 2018. That’s when Warner Bros. released a reboot for the franchise with Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft. This film didn’t do terribly but it didn’t do awesome business either. In fact, it…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”19620″ img_size=”646×431″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When you’re the GameMaster and you’ve suddenly got a bit of time on your hands (seeing how your world has taken quite a beating since your last gig), you can take some time to explore new things. At least, that’s what Jeff Goldblum will be doing for Disney+. In a new series, to be called The World According to Jeff Goldblum, Goldblum will be introducing audiences to different items and in new and exciting ways. As set in the show’s description: Jeff pulls back the curtain on a seemingly familiar object to reveal a world of astonishing…

I’m not sure how many more exciting premiers can be crammed into a couple of months but between Game of Thrones, Avengers: End Game, and Marvel’s Agents of Shield, the folks at HBO, Marvel Studios, and ABC/Marvel Television are certainly trying. With that in mind, ABC/Marvel Television has released a series of posters ahead of its Season 6 Premier in May. So we now know that Clark Gregg is now called Sarge and he has no compunction against shooting Shield Agents. Where that ends up we don’t know, at least until Marvel’s Agents of Shield premiers next month. Are you…

It happened not soon after Thanos had Completed his SNAP! heard around the Universe at the end of Infinity War. After the initial shock went away, fans started to theorize how this could be resolved. It had to be resolved, didn’t it? Spider-Man, Black Panther, The Guardians of the Galaxy, Dr. Strange, the Wasp, Wanda, Bucky…all super hero dust. That couldn’t be how it ended, especially for those who had sequels to film. There has to be a solution. So fans came up with them. In all manners, and all combinations. Some involved time travel, some involved the Quantum Realm,…
