[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] It’s been far too long since Fox put out a Marvel-based character property that wasn’t painful to watch. It was 2011’s X-Men: First Class that was the breath of fresh air (and hope) on to the mutant family of films, but now the long holding of breath for the next non-stinker is finally […]

If you read my review of the first episode of The X-Files revisit, then you know I was NOT impressed at all.  It felt like series creator/writer/director Chris Carter wanted to a) piss off the Xphile faithful, b) do away with almost every scrap of 9 seasons worth of mythology, and c) force the now rusty […]

I have been a long time X Files fan.  As in, I watched the pilot when it aired so long ago on FOX with my mom, and it became our weekly bonding show.  Well, aside from the various Star Treks that were on at the time.  But there was something fabulous about the show, many things really.  The […]

In another example of pretty darn perfect casting, FOX’s Batman prequel series Gotham has reenlisted Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee Herman) in the role of  Oswald Cobblepot’s father.  You know, The Penguin?  Well, remember that Rubens previously played The Penguin’s father in Tim Burton’s  Batman Returns in 1992. Here is the first image from director Danny Cannon of Robin Lord Taylor […]

If you are a Batman fan and aren’t watching Fox’s Gotham, you should probably fix that, and soon.  The series is crafted like a live action Batman: The Animated Series, but centers around the very early post-parental murder days of Bruce Wayne.  And also, the origins of the best villainous rogues gallery in the comicbook world. Long rumored […]

I never thought I’d live in a world where Daredevil, Supergirl, The Flash, and SHIELD all had their own tv series.  Live-action tv series, I should specify.  I cannot contain my giddiness with the most recent announcement FOX made regarding their plans to bring the X-Men back to the small screen on FX. Deadline is reporting FX has given a pilot […]

I’m not sure how to start this.  So, I’ll say what I’ve been telling everybody, READ THE DAMN BOOK.  Once you’ve done that, maybe you’ll understand my utter disappointment with Fox Studio’s newest film, The Martian. Based on the FANTASTIC book by Andy Weir, the film version is directed by Ridley Scott (Alien, Legend, Blade Runner) […]

I just…..I can’t be excited about this. X Files, for the longest time, was MY show. In many ways, it still is. Maybe that’s why as a fan, I’m offended by the thought going back to these characters is a good idea. Carter did such a disservice to his 9 years of series with that […]

Things aren’t looking good for the Fox Studio X-Men spinoff Gambit.  The Channing Tatum starring (and produced) solo film featuring the popular X-Men comics character has been having no shortage of issues this year. Originally, it had been reported a few weeks ago that the film’s star and main financial backer (Tatum) had left the project, leaving […]

This story just hit a few minutes ago, so bare with us as we get concrete sources.  It would appear, after he joined the cast for the various Fox-housed X-Men films, Channing Tatum is no longer playing the Ragin’ Cajun. According to The Wrap, someone close to the project told them that Tatum’s reps are still […]
