You have to hand it to Child’s Play co-creator Don Mancini. He was apparently so far ahead of the curve in his planning, he used his last movie to set up his now in pre-production television series. The details of the series are still quite unclear but Mancini and producer David Kirschner have stated that the show’s main goal is to bring the franchise back to its origins. Mancini discussed the concepts before an audience at Screamfest. We deliberately ended Cult of Chucky with a bunch of cliffhangers to set up a TV series. Because there are so many different threads now,…

Never has there been a supposed villain who is so polarizing. He can go from villainy to charming rogue at the snap of the fingers (probably not the best metaphor at this time). This strange dichotomy makes Loki one of the most intriguing characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. During a recent ACE Comic Con appearance, Hiddleston was asked if he believes that the character had finally found a manner of redemption before facing his ultimate demise by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. The thing is, he is redeemed. I found it very touching because Loki, as a character, has…

November 16th release of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the studio has released the TV spots for the film. These can be seen above.

When I think back about my childhood, there were three kinds of football to be played. One was flag football that usually happened in gym class. This was because no one in our neighborhood had actual flags, unless you counted a work rag you tucked into the waistband of the shorts or pants you were wearing. The other was two hand touch football. This would transpire after church when you wanted to play football but didn’t want to go home and change out of your Sunday-Go-to Meeting duds. And god forbid you came home with torn slacks or grass stains…

It takes a whole lot of guts to take on a beloved film that is just as popular today as it was when it first premiered in 1964. But that is the task that Disney put in their sights and now they have a beginning gauge on how it has been received. Mary Poppins Returns screened earlier this week, and the first of the reactions from a select audience are now available online. For those of you who don’t know, (not sure who THAT might be) Mary Poppins Returns is the long-belated sequel to Robert Stevenson’s iconic Disney film. It starred Julie Andrews…

While Zazie Beetz became a scene chewing fan-favorite with her performance as the probability altering mutant Domino in this year’s Deadpool 2,  the young actress had originally auditioned to play a different mutant who could battle up a “storm” in an earlier X-Men film.

The actress then revealed she had auditioned to play the young Storm for 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse. Unfortunately, the part eventually went to Alexandra Shipp. When I was a kid, I…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”8368″ img_size=”600×900″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text] Potential Spoilers: The Hulk has been all over the map in his comic book history both literally and figuratively. He has been bad, been good, been misunderstood (hey, that rhymes) and been pissed off more times than can be counted. And of course, as everyone knows the madder he gets the stronger he gets. In the past,  when the Hulk got to be beyond people’s control, they have made plans to deal with the situation. This was the case in the past when a gamma bomb caused him to lose control and attack Vegas. His rage…

With all the advanced scientific gear at the disposal of the “Men in Black,” you would think they could shade themselves from the desert sun with something more than an umbrella. But that is the set picture posted on Instagram by Tessa Thompson herself as production continues on the new Men in Black with her partner Chris Hemsworth. With the chemistry shown by Thompson and Hemsworth in Thor Ragnarok, this film looks like it could be a lot of fun. Are you excited to see how the Men in Black reboot will turn out?
