Rejoice citizens of Netherworld!  Our favorite striped suited undead used car salesman is coming back, and he’s bringing Lydia with him! In a recent interview with MTV, Tim Burton said: This is probably the most exciting news we could have regarding a beloved 80’s film getting a sequel/reboot/revamping.  Nothing like having the original actors-actresses-directors back […]

It seems that lately, there is no such thing as too many comic book based movies.  Long rumored to be happening, it would seem the The Sandman movie is REALLY picking up steam. David S. Goyer and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are helming the adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman is still in the early stages of development, […]

So far, the only movie in the X-Men lexicon I liked was X-Men: First Class.  This is mostly because I feel several of the main casting points in the previous films were WAY off the mark. A pretty Wolverine?  Scott Summers being SOOOO much younger than Jean Grey?  I mean really, I can talk about this […]

I often joke that my gravestone will read “But in the book” because of my longstanding issues with film versions of novels.  But, after long last, a modern film/novel came along that I can honestly say ‘the movie was BETTER than the book.’ Veronica Roth bestselling young adult series “Divergent” was purchased and adapted to […]

One of the unexpected hit comedies of the last two years was Hot Tub Time Machine, about a group of friends who inadvertently manage to awaken a hot tub time machine and travel back into the 80s. Little did this group of friends know, their butterfly effect would have SERIOUS consiqeunces on the building of their […]

Just when we thought December was the end of the 2014 convention season, Biloxi Mississippi launches into the scene was a brand new fan-created event featuring multiple Tardiseseses (Tardi?  I mean really, what’s the multiple for Tardis?), a Stargate, and an official Guinness Book of World Records Steampunk attempt. Husband and wife team Ian and […]

It seems like we’ve slipped into some type of time warp.  The most popular trailers right now are Star Wars, Terminator, Jurassic Park, and Mad Max.  True, all four of these are new films, but it’s bringing these (dare we say) classic franchises back to the forefront of audiences minds. In this newest trailer for George Miller’s […]
