We all float here. It seems that the second chapter of the critically acclaimed IT movie has started filming. Last we saw the Losers club, they had just tussled with the dancing clown Pennywise. When released, this horror film remake was widely praised, especially Bill Skarsgard’s performance as the main character. Even I jumped a few times while watching it, enjoying the homage they paid to the original film while making it their own. The kids who were stars of the first film all worked well together, so it was a little disappointing to me to know that we would…

Despite the fact that The Punisher and Elektra received a lot of praise during their breakout in Daredevil season two, the second season of the Matt Murdock centered show was not received as positively as the first season. As much as I love this show, I have to agree with the critics. I loved the Frank Castle storyline, but besides that, Murdock’s arc wasn’t all that entertaining. And what they did with him and Foggy’s friendship at the end was a little unforgivable, but clearly a trend Marvel Netflix likes to partake in i.e. Jessica Jones season two. Although we…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s hard to think of anyone as the Merc with the Mouth other than Ryan Reynolds. Although he is pretty much Deadpool incarnate, there was once upon a time where it didn’t seem like we’d ever get a proper version of Wade Wilson. Reynolds is a great actor and sarcastically funny, but his rendition of the well-known superhero in X-Men Origins: Wolverine left much to be desired. With swords coming out of his knuckles, his mouth stitched up tight, and strange drawings on his body, this was not the version of Deadpool we were hoping for. This was neither the…

While Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist along with The Defenders were the original deal between Disney and Netflix, there’s a chance we could be getting more spin-off shows. Netflix’s Vice President Cindy Holland spoke at the TCA Summer Tour, expressing the openness for other Marvel shows. We can all attribute this essentially to Jon Bernthal’s performance as Frank Castle in Daredevil season two, launching the need for a separate Punisher series. Holland confirmed, “there’s always an ongoing discussion as to whether we will spin off additional characters.” While it’s highly unlikely that we’ll be getting a Ghost…

It’s rare for a fan-cast to turn up as the actual character, but for Batgirl fans, the spark is alive and shining bright. Castle Rock star Jane Levy says that she is honored to be considered as a true Barbara Gordon by fans. Although it’s reported that Batgirl won’t make an appearance in the upcoming Warner Bros. Birds of Prey movie, it seems that Levy would take any role in the DCU. “I don’t know who Huntress or Black Canary [are]. 100%, I’m in. Thank you for getting me a job. Yes, I’m in.” Levy told MTV during her SDCC…

While Jon Bernthal is best known for his show-stopping performance as Frank Castle and memorable Shane Walsh, Bernthal also is known for something else. If you go digging through the talented actor’s career, you can find that he is pretty much the king of showing up in a film for a very short period of time and usually dying, but delivering a great show during his brief time on screen. With the movie Widows premiering November 16 of this year, we already know Bernthal’s character isn’t going to last long. The premise of the film is about the widows of several…

There’s rarely a television concept that we haven’t seen before. How many shows out there are based around crime scene detectives or sitcoms about the all American family? Stemmed from a book, American Gods certainly offers a unique storyline. Bringing together new and old gods from mythology into modern day society makes for one strange, interesting world that at times works and at times, doesn’t work. American Gods has only had one season so far and that season consisted of eight episodes. The series opens up with Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) being released from prison a few days before his…

The horror genre is not dead. While horror films have changed throughout the decades, people will still never tire of wanting to be afraid when going to the theaters. Thanks to Toni Collette, Hereditary is now the company A24’s highest grossing film worldwide. According to Deadline, Hereditary earned up to $77.5 million, pushing their previous success Lady Bird out of its place. Hereditary premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and marked Ari Aster’s directorial debut. The film focuses on Collette’s character, Annie; after the death of the matriarch of her family. Everything starts to unravel once the family finds out…

If you’ve been a fan of the AMC hit show The Walking Dead, then you have seen the most shocking season-opening, in season seven, when we were not only given a proper introduction to Negan, but also a gruesome farewell to some characters. The previous season’s finale had left us hanging, not knowing who Negan was going to pick to receive the barbed wired baseball bat of death’s wrath. When it was Abraham chosen to be mercilessly killed by Lucille (the baseball bat), we all had a moment where we thought Glenn was in the clear. In the comics, Glenn…

The Punisher season 1 is still my favorite show in the Marel Netflix universe. After introducing Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle in the second season of Daredevil, I knew that Castle’s solo series would be unlike any of the other Defenders universe shows. Gritty, raw, and explosive, The Punisher showcased the many different sides of its title character rather than just the violent soldier that we primarily saw in Daredevil. Of course, our favorite anti-hero was everything we wanted him to be, but seeing him as a friend, husband, and father was not something we were able to see before his own…
