Rejoice, Michael B Jordan and Ryan Coogler Reunite for Black Panther

Rejoice, Michael B Jordan and Ryan Coogler Reunite for Black Panther

I have not been on this blog for a while, but I have been meaning to return and what better way to return, what better news to return to, than the news of Michael B Jordan joining the cast of Black Panther. Creed was one of my films of the year (in 2016 because it came out late in the UK) and the chemistry between Coogler and Jordan is undeniable, in fact I saw a few comments online lamenting…

Marvel Cinematic Universe animated movies I want to see

News has been circulating that Cort Lane, VP of Animation Development and Production at Marvel Television made a statement at WonderCon that animated movies set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are in the works. When I heard this news, I got very excited. I often become sad at the fact that Animation in America and Britain is kind of looked down upon as being either for kids or a comedy, but if…

What do Phil Lord and Chris Miller mean for The Flash and the DC Cinematic Universe

So just this past week it was announced that Phil Lord and Chris Miller, of 21 Jump Street and The Lego Movie fame (though I’ll always love them for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) were to be involved with The Flash movie. Now one thing about these 2 guys is that they are very funny, taking concepts that may not seem very desirable but making them hilarious and successful. And one thing that…

Ranking the weeks comic book movie reveals

It felt like this was a week where studios with comic book properties decided to reveal character from said properties. I’m not complaining, after all, it is the week DareDevil came out and the first showing of Avengers, so other studios took that chance to get themselves a little buzz.

5. Justice League Cast Reveal

Coming in at number 5 is a cast picture without anyone actually in costume,…

Lamenting the loss of Beware the Batman

There are many, many animated action shows which have been deemed to be cancelled too early, Young Justice, Sym-Bionic Titan, Green Lantern the Animated Series just to name a few. And this streak wasn’t ended when Cartoon Network cancelled Beware the Batman last year.

When it was first announced, complaints were made, of course. “Why another Batman show?” “Why CGI?” “Why are they using secondary…

Superman has a goatee and the Justice League is a terrorist organisation in the first clip from Justice League: Gods and Monsters

It’s been a while since Bruce Timm worked on a DC project (75th Anniversary short aside) so it’s good to see him back. And what a way to come back, presenting the beloved Justice League as pseudo villains. I am particularly looking forward to see the portrayal of Lex Luthor as his arc on the Justice League/Justice League Unlimited…

Trailer for new Syfy shows Killjoys actually looks decent

So SyFy is currently in the process of trying to regain it’s stronghold in genre television, which has meant we have seen a few attempts to recreate the success of its most successful show, BattleStar Galactica. However this trailer for their new show Killjoys, which is from the producer of Orphan Black actually looks quite fun. I…

The Pixar/Star Wars cross you never knew you wanted

The Pixar/Star Wars cross you never knew you wanted

Cars is probably the least loved Pixar property, and that is putting it lightly, but if the next step of it would be something like this, I’m sure a lot more people would get on board.

Skinner and Cigarette Smoking Man returning for X-Files

As the nostalgia tour continues and we wonder which show TV executives will decide on resurrecting next, X-Files is ramping up the excitement as David Duchovny announced that 2 beloved characters would be returning.

Part of me wants the 6 episodes to be serialised but the other part of me hopes it’s just all Monster of the Week…

Stephen Amell announced to be Casey Jones in the Ninja Turtles sequel

So it’s been a while.

But anyways, news broke while I was sleeping that Stephen Amell, beloved star of Arrow, has announced that he will be playing Casey Jones in the sequel to this year’s Ninja Turtles, which is set for release in 2016. Now I’ll be honest, I liked the Ninja Turtles movie, it was after a long day at work and I just smiled the whole way through, but obviously many people didn’t,…

First Batman vs Robin Trailer is out

As DC prepares to take on Marvel with their own cinematic universe, one avenue they have been beating Marvel in for a while in is animation. And now they have established their own animated universe. Part of me wishes they would just use Bruce Timm’s universe for that, but we’re getting a new Bruce Timm film this year, so that will…

Black Mirror: White Christmas review

Black Mirror: White Christmas review

Just what you need for a proper British Christmas, doom and misery. Any soap fan will tell you, Christmas is the time when the worst stuff happens. And Doctor Who fans will tell you how heartbreaking Christmas can be.  But nothing can match the dreariness of Black Mirror and it was turned up a notch for this Christmas special.

In the past, Black Mirror has been a 3 episode anthology series with…
