The year 2020 continues to be filled with surprises, many of which have abruptly came about throughout the protests and riots that occurred after the death of George Floyd. In that tradition, it seems another wild occurrence has been sighted at one of the protests – apparently one older man was so angered by protesters (who were said to be throwing things at his car) that he charged at them with knives attached to his hand as if they were Wolverine claws. The man then continued to plow his SUV into the sidewalk where they were standing in Whitestone, Queens.…

One of the most disappointing things for film fans throughout the Coronavirus pandemic has been the closure of movie theaters. In fact, one of the biggest movie theaters chains – AMC Theatres – might be in trouble even long after the Coronavirus pandemic will have passed. According to a new financial report from AMC Theatres, they’ve announced some severe losses and revenue drops that might spell out “substantial doubt” for their viability in the future. Here’s what AMC Theatres, via ScreenRant, had to say regarding their potential inability to stay open past the Coronavirus pandemic. “If we do not recommence…

There has been no shortage of surprising news this year, and that tradition continues with this latest story that is about as ridiculously insane as they come. It appears that porn star Nacho Vidal was arrested on manslaughter charges after a man died following a mystic ritual where he inhaled venomous toad fumes. The news was revealed by Spanish police, via Yahoo Finance, where they explained Nacho Vidal was taken in just last week in the southeastern Valencia region following the July 2019 death of a man. It appears that the aforementioned man was fashion photographer Jose Luis Abad. “The…

It’s likely no surprise, but this year’s upcoming addition to Legendary’s MonsterVerse franchise – Godzilla vs. Kong – has finally received its official rating. It appears that the film will have the same rating as previous films in the franchise, PG-13, which is understandable. Here’s the given reason for why Godzilla vs Kong earned a PG-13 rating, which still doesn’t reveal too much information about the upcoming crossover film: Godzilla vs. Kong is “Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of creature violence/destruction and brief language.” Now that the Godzilla vs. Kong film has an official rating in place, hopefully we can…

The death of George Floyd has, as you likely know by now, prompted an intensive amount of protesting from across the country. This includes support from celebrities, several of which have now signed an open letter intended to gather support in an effort to defund police departments. The open letter has signatures from celebrities that include singers John Legend and Lizzo, as well as actresses Natalie Portman, Taraji P. Henson and Brie Larson. The open letter that many celebrities have signed goes on to emphasize how in 2017 there was $194 billion spent on police departments and why it’d be…

Warner Bros. has been seeing a surprising level of success with their recent DC superhero film adaptations. Quite a few have gone on to become massive modern day hits – like Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Shazam. Meanwhile other films like Joker have given their brand of comic book movies an entirely new meaning. As such, many fans are excited for the upcoming new take on one of DC’s biggest superheroes, the titular protagonist in next year’s film The Batman. What’s more, however, is that the film will be reintroducing several fan-favorite villains as well – including Oswald Cobblepot aka Penguin.…

One of the interesting things about Netflix is that it helps reintroduce titles you might not be expecting to see back into the public eye. For example, with their new Top 10 Movies list feature, all sorts of titles have been getting showcased – in effect boosting their popularity even further. While some of these films are outright classics, others are a little more peculiar. For example, one 2011 horror film has taken the #9 spot on the list on Netflix as of this writing – and it’s none other than Priest. It’s surprising to see considering the film was…

It seems that popular actor Evan Peters has faced quite a bit of backlash on his twitter page upon retweeting a video which praised police after they tackled looters. It was a bit shocking, considering that he shared the video on what’s become known as Blackout Tuesday – a day in which many people were posting a black box in support of George Floyd following his death and the variety of protests which formed afterward. Blackout Tuesday also included people sharing organizations in which those interested can make donations for the black community, as well as messages against police brutality…

Many fans, myself included, were devastated when STARZ canceled their series Ash vs Evil Dead after its third season concluded. And things just continued to get worse from there. While some fans were being hopeful that we’d get more Ash Williams in the Evil Dead franchise again in some other form, like a new movie for example, Bruce Campbell announced that he retired himself from the role. Since then things have been unclear with what exact direction the franchise has been heading towards, but it seems that Bruce Campbell’s Ash vs Evil Dead costars believe they can convince him to…

Spider-Man: Far From Home was an exciting movie for Marvel fans, especially after the massive film that was Avengers: Endgame. It was nice to get a little taste of mainly Peter Parker and his relatively much smaller story as Spider-Man again, although that’s not to say Marvel and Sony haven’t been making big plans for the beloved superhero. In fact, many fans were surprised by the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home which revealed that J.K. Simmons was reprising his role as J. Jonah Jameson from the original Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy. It was a massive surprise to see Simmons…
