[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”12823″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]There is a saying about not seeing the forest for the trees. Apparently I am living proof of that because until just recently, I had no idea that M. Night Shyamalan’s 2000 film Unbreakable was anyway connected to his 2016 film Split. I only knew that I liked Unbreakable when it came out. It starred Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson…what’s not to like. I also liked 2016’s Split as James MacAvoy absolutely ruled the screen as Kevin Crumb. But I didn’t get the connection between the two. Until I saw the previews for Shyamalan’s Glass. There was Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson again…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”12779″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The much anticipated final season of Gotham made its premier with an episode entitled: Year Zero. It started with a flash forward to a scene where the Riddler, the Penguin, Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock are shown arming themselves, getting ready for a fight. They then come together, not to fight against each other but teamed up against an unknown adversary. This is the start of Year Zero and it held all kinds of promise, but then it jumped back to day 87 after Jeremiah made good on his claim to isolate Gotham from the rest of…

That is what Brie Larson tried to do with her time on the set of Avenger’s End Game. She also was a bit worried that knowing the secrecy that Marvel films are shrouded in, she might slip up and say something she shouldn’t. She expressed these feelings in a recent interview with USA Today. I just never wanted to feel like I was going to slip up or that I was going to say the wrong…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”12685″ img_size=”700×350″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]For two seasons, Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood tore up the screen and occasionally, the sheets as former married Agents Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter in Marvel’s Agents of Shield. They left the show after an episode that made them leave Shield to maintain their spy covers when they got caught up in a Russian conspiracy. The original plan was for the actors to branch out in a spin-off show called: America’s Most Wanted. The pilot was made but unfortunately, ABC decided they would pass on the show. This left the characters of Bobbi and Lance floating in limbo in…

Because of that, I was more than a little intrigued by Seth MacFarlane’s show The Orville. How typical it is that I never saw the first season. It looked like it might be good and the production values looked promising, but I never got the chance. With the new seasons arrival, I decided to check it out and see what I missed. For their second season premier, they decided to focus on the characters more than jumping into a far flung…

Especially when it involves a film that has the potential of Margot Robbies’ Birds of Prey. With film production scheduled to begin in the coming month in Los Angeles, the natural question is how long will they be working? HN Entertainment has apparently answered that question as they report that filming on Birds of Prey is expected to be completed around April 13th. Birds of Prey will see Margot Robbies Harley Quinn team up with DC Comics heroines Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell)…

In a conversation with CBR, Taylor explains the circumstances the Penguin used to his advantage and his position in “No Man’s Land.” As most people would see Gotham being cut off from the rest of the world as something to be panicked about, Penguin saw an opportunity, and this is his chance. There’s a vacuum there of control, and so he puts himself in City Hall because let’s not…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”12503″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]With the end of 2018 rapidly approaching, it is only natural to reflect on the past year and all that has transpired during that time. We here at GVNation have talked about the best and worst movies, Netflix shows, and everything that has made 2018 the year it was. Along with that reflection, it is also common to look ahead and perhaps, set some resolutions for the upcoming year. Never one to back down from a challenge, I present to you: “New Years Resolutions from a Geeks Perspective.” Theses are in no particular order since I consider…

If there is one thing that is as common as breathing, it is a persons proclivity to defend the things they like. It doesn’t matter if it’s their favorite food, sports team, or their favorite movie. Unfortunately, sometimes in the fervor to support their opinions, they can be a little aggressive to other fans and start a social media scrum. This has been especially true with James Wan’s Aquaman. It came down to those who have come to expect the worse from films in the DCU and those who believe that Aquaman has begun the turnaround. Apparently, these conflicts have caught the attention…

With Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse approaching $100 mil at the box office and both audiences and critics singing it’s praises, co-creator artist Sara Pichelli recently took to Instagram to thank fans for their support. Thanks for all the congrats  and the love shared after you watched Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. Here is the image I created for the movie, it was amazing seeing this on the big screen. Pichelli along with co-creator, writer Brian Michael Bendis have a lot to be thankful for. With the success that Into the Spiderverse is enjoying, is there really any doubt that a…
