How The DCEU Is Treating Its Cinematic Universe Model After Wonder Woman

The Marvel Cinematic Universe changed the superhero game with its creation of connected, live-action worlds, and other franchises have started to catch on. However, as other companies have proven less successful at establishing cohesion compared to the MCU, they have instead opted to branch out and try new things. One of the chief examples of that idea is DC, and following Wonder Woman's widespread acclaim, it sounds like the DCEU (while...

Why Aquaman's Willem Dafoe Liked Working With James Wan

The DC Extended Universe is a funny place. Because while new movies are being announced at blinding speeds, there aren't a ton of concrete release dates or a schedule locked down. That is, except for the shared universe's next two installments. Because after Zack Snyder's Justice League hits theaters in November, James Wan's Aquaman will be the next down the pipeline. The film has been shooting for a few months, and some actors have been...

New X-Files Season 11 Photo Is A Total Throwback, And It Definitely Spells Trouble

The X-Files returned to the small screen for the first time in nearly 14 years back in 2016 for a Season 10 that reunited the iconic duo of Mulder and Scully for some more investigations into the paranormal. While many things were the same as they had been in the original series, there were some big changes that were somewhat jarring to longtime fans. The show is returning for a Season 11 in early 2018, and a photo for the new season was just...

DC's Titans TV Show Just Cast Another Comics Character

DC is bringing a new group of superheroes to the small screen with Titans, which is slated to debut on DC's upcoming exclusive director-to-consumer streaming service. A number of characters from DC Comics will be adapted for television, and we already knew a number of the actors who will bring them to life. Now, Titans has cast another comic character. Lindsey Gort of The Carrie Diaries is on board to play Police Detective Amy Rohrbach. While...

Battle Of The Sexes Review

Battle of the Sexes is, at best, a light volley of banter and debate over important topics, rather than a hard-hitting expose with contemporary ties to ongoing gender discussions (which it easily could have been). Given the film's synopsis, I expected Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris' sports biopic Battle of the Sexes to be about tennis. Specifically, I anticipated it being about the highly-publicized 1973 exhibition match...

Gerald’s Game Review & Trailer

With the thrill and punch of the better Stephen King films we've experienced, Netflix has now officially entered the Stephen King business with Gerald's Game. If this is any indication of what a continued partnership would bring, both parties should look for as many chances as they can to stay together. It's been said before, and it'll be said again: 2017 has been the year for Stephen King adaptations. And with Netflix's release...

Flatliners Review

Though competently directed and well-acted, Flatliners does little to set itself apart from a run-of-the-mill thriller. True to the material, it simply lacks a pulse. What happens after we die? Is there truly an afterlife with a white light at the end of a long, dark tunnel? These existential questions have plagued humanity for millennia, but perhaps science has finally caught up with our desire to know the truth of existence....

Full Pitch Perfect 3 Trailer Sends The Bellas Out On An Emotional Note

Pitch Perfect didn't strike me as a comedy that would produce numerous sequels. Even the original movie made a persistent running joke out of the fact that a capella singing was uncool, and aspiring music producer Beca (Anna Kendrick) wanted nothing to do with the Barden Bellas. Only, she did. Because a capella cover songs actually ARE cool. And Pitch Perfect dialed into an ensemble of witty and lovable actresses who we wanted to spend more...

When The Wii Shop Channel Will Cease Operations

Nintendo supports a lot of its older hardware and software for quite some time. In fact, the original Wii Shop Channel on the eShop is still up and available, despite the fact that the Wii released a whole 11 years ago. Well, the Big N won't be keeping the shop channel for the motion-controlled gaming console open for too much longer... if you don't consider January, 2019 to be "too much longer." According to Gematsu, Nintendo has...

Why Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5 Almost Didn’t Happen

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was Marvel's first major live-action television show, coming years before the Netflix leg of the Marvel universe kicked off. The four seasons so far have been a hit with diehard fans, and Season 4 changed things up in some exciting ways. That said, ratings have been declining more or less steadily since the beginning, and fans have had to worry that S.H.I.E.L.D. would get the axe just about every spring. As it turns...

New Justice League Storyboards Tease A Key Sequence

In terms of sheer scale, Zack Snyder's Justice League arguably looks like it is going to become the biggest DC movie ever. The timeline of the film looks like it will span centuries, and it will feature some absolutely insane sequences that we would've never fathomed in other eras of DC movies. One such sequence involves the introduction of Steppenwolf's Mother Boxes, and Snyder has officially revealed the storyboards for that key sequence....
