Ah, Brangelina. Say it ain’t so. (Actually, I feel your pain and all that, but I will be more than happy to never have to see / hear / read / write that stupid obnoxious mashup name ever again. Seriously, these things need to die.) Sadly, it is so. Hollywood’s most famous couple, the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton of our generation, have called it quits after twelve years and six children. Oh well, at least they have production companies, vineyards, multiple homes (including a fucking French chateau, who has that?), and gazillions of dollars to dry their tears. The…

Season 4 of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiered Tuesday night, and they wasted little time getting to the part that everyone was waiting for – our first look at Ghost Rider. Personally, I was rather on the fence going into this, for a few reasons: I wanted to see Johnny Blaze, my personal favorite Rider, rather than Robbie Reyes; and I thought that network TV, especially Disney-owned ABC, wouldn’t do right by the darkness and violence of the character. I thought he was better suited to a Netflix series, or at least a place in the MCU films (which would…

TNA Impact Wrestling may be a legitimate federation, but they’re still not on WWE’s level. A large part of what’s holding them back is financial. The company simply doesn’t have the capital to compete with Vince McMahon’s millions. Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan (how random is that?) is set to become the majority owner of the company, and has already become a storyline presence on the TV broadcasts. He follows in the footsteps of Jeff Jarrett and Dixie Carter, who previously owned and ran the company. It has enjoyed a decent amount of popularity, with stars like AJ Styles,…

Our friends over at Couch Tomato have made another video comparing two seemingly unrelated films. However, the parallels are less far-fetched than in some of their previous work. Today, we take a look at animated classic The Lion King, and the live-action remake of The Jungle Book. Besides the obvious fact that they’re both Disney properties, there are more similarities. For example, the main villain is a huge, super scary cat with a scar over his left eye. The cat threatens the benevolent leader of the jungle, before later killing him. The bad dude elects himself the new leader, and…

Sometimes, genre-crossing mashups are just a bad idea. Their makers are clearly trying to hard, and reaching too far, to find the connections between their two subjects. This is not one of those times. In fact, this one is pretty much perfect. YouTube user Darth Blender has woven the A-Team and the Guardians of the Galaxy together so seamlessly, you’ll wonder why you didn’t think of it yourself. While your brain might not instantly make the connection between a band of ex-military mercenaries and a team of intergalactic superheroes, it goes together so much better than you would expect. Check…

I think most of us can agree that the live-action Resident Evil films took a sharp downturn after the first two. So, while many of us aren’t exactly waiting with bells on for the sixth (and supposedly final, but we’ll see) movie to hit theaters in January, there’s another RE release to look forward to – a new CGI film. The two previous CGI films, Degeneration and Damnation, were surprisingly good. And personally, I think computer animation over live action is actually helpful to these movies, as they don’t feel like such a massive departure from the games. The latest…

Americans have been extremely fortunate in the last 20 years or so. We’ve been showered with a plethora of great superhero movies. Whoever your favorite comic book character is, chances are, you’ve seen him on the big screen by now. (Personally, I’m still waiting for Cable, but at least he’s on his way.) However, the rest of the world hasn’t had quite so much luck. I mean, where the hell is the Captain Britain movie? Australia’s Helm? Azazel (Nightcrawler’s father), who is Mesopotamian? But now, at least one non-‘Murican corner of the world is getting their very own superhero team.…

One of the coolest parts of Batman vs Superman was the sneak peaks we got at the future members of the Justice League. When Bruce Wayne stumbled upon the stolen property Diana Prince was looking for, he was in for several great shocks. Not only did he find out that Diana was an ancient warrior, but he also discovered that there are several other people in this world with extraordinary secrets. There’s a kid who can move at the speed of light. A mysterious humanoid dwelling on the bottom of the sea. And the final, most horrific image of all…

While we wait (and wait, and wait, and w…a…i…t…) for Marvel Studios to acquire the rights to make a solo Hulk film, there’s a new animated one on the way to tide you over. Following Hulk vs Wolverine, Hulk vs Thor, and Planet Hulk, next up is Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell. It will be screened at New York Comic-Con on October 9th. The film follows Hulk, Doctor Strange, and the Howling Commandos as they try to stop Nightmare from taking over the world. And that’s not all the NYCC excitement on the way. The cast of Netflix’s Iron Fist will…

I’ve attended several comic conventions over the years, and the only character I’ve seen cosplayed more than Deadpool is Harley Quinn. Probably half of all dressed out females at a con are, unfortunately, variations on this one same theme. I can’t tell you how many oversized hammers with “your face here” on the end I’ve seen being carried around by slight teenagers who don’t seem to be aware of any other female comic book characters. As a comic fan myself who is also a woman, it’s a little disappointing. There are so many other great female characters to choose from.…
