The controversy surrounding DC’s Suicide Squad and its conflicting reviews was a testament to the adage that all press is good press – it might not be all good, but people just can’t stop talking about the DC Extended Universe! The next movie on their long release schedule is Wonder Woman, set for June next year, […]
It would be fair to say that DC Comics first cornered the market on legacy characters, superheroes whose identity and look changes from generation to generation. For most of their history, however, Marvel Comics has had a very different approach to their characters. They offered unchanging icons, with one secret identity. Lately, though, Marvel has […]
This week The CW released the premiere dates for all of their fall shows, including their many DC Comics television shows, starting with The Flash airing on Tuesday, October 4th at 8 PM. The next day Arrow will premiere on Wednesday, October 5th at 8 PM. The following week Supergirl will premiere on Monday, October […]
Last year, I made no secret of my dislike of season three of Orange is the New Black. Going into season four, I was worried that the show would be unable to capture the magic it had in season two, which had been the high watermark for the series. And I was still on the […]
After 13 years, Finding Nemo, one of several Pixar gems, finally gets its follow up movie, which in the same vein as the Toy Story films in particular, feels like a logical next step in the story of these characters. Pixar’s recent setback, if you could call it that speaking particularly of The Good Dinosaur, […]
NetherRealm’s Ed Boon first tweeted out his profile image changed to the roman numeral two. Then more rumors started swirling in last week. Lastly GameStop leaked the poster for this awaited sequel, but today it is now official. Injustice 2 is NetherRealm’s next fighting game slated for a 2017 release (likely April again) and the […]
Tallulah is a very effective drama that overcomes its faults through strong character work and a gripping, moving story. Written and directed by Sian Heder (Orange is the New Black), Talluhan follows the titular character (Ellen Page), a drifter that’s been on the road for as long as she can remember. She crosses paths with […]
In 1985, DC Comics published Crisis on Infinite Earths, a 12-issue series designed with two goals in mind: one, to resolve the myriad of continuity boondoggles that had developed over the years; and two, to revitalize its somewhat staid superheroes for a new generation. And for a time, it actually worked. Not only did DC […]
I’m honestly not sure what to make of “Schism,” the end to Arrow‘s incredibly uneven fourth season. It was an episode with almost no oomph, despite some lovely hand-to-hand combat sequences (which, at this point, is one of the few things the series has going for it- consistently great fight scenes). “Schism” lacked any semblance […]
HOLD THE DOOR! Poor Hodor. Loyal to the end. But that was a hell of a way to go, no? Throughout the last few weeks, I’ve read several theories positing that Bran was going to be somehow responsible for Hodor’s hodor-ness, which I agreed with, but I certainly didn’t think the writers would let us […]
