[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”9665″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Black Mass came out in 2015 and told the tale of real-life Irish Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger. Johnny Depp played Whitey in a role that required a huge transformation, with hair, and make up a bit distracting at times. Despite a pretty impressive cast,  Joel Edgerton, Benedict Cumberbatch, Kevin Bacon, Jesse Plemons, Peter Sarsgaard, Rory Cochrane, Adam Scott, Julianne Nicholson, Dakota Johnson, and Corey Stoll; Black Mass tried to contend with some other big name gangster movies and ultimately fell a little short. While the film had all the ingredients to any gangster film, it fell a little stale. As bad as Whitey was, there was…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One of my biggest pet peeves with some superhero movies today is the over use of CGI, particularly when this overuse makes the movie look cheesy and fake. Thankfully, DC Universe’s upcoming Doom Patrol will be using a lot more “practical” costuming, as we’ve seen previously with Robotman’s design. Jovian Wade, who is playing the series’ version of Cyborg; went on Instagram stories to tease his costume, praising it as “amazing”, especially for a television budget. [/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9580″ img_size=”400×706″][vc_column_text] There’s challenges when it comes to Cyborg’s costume, as Ray Fisher (who plays him on the big screen), knows too well:…

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s easy to remember such villains as Loki and Thanos. Even Killmonger in Black Panther is a well-known and well-spoken about antagonist within the MCU. But, despite there being a “villain problem” within the franchise that I cannot disagree with, there are still some baddies who have been overlooked and deserve more word of mouth than they get. Below are a few that I feel have been overlooked by audiences throughout the past decade of the Marvel Universe. Zemo How could a villain like Zemo, portrayed by Daniel Bruhl; not be talked about more? While…
