“I am one with the force. The force is one with me.” The wait is over and the time has finally come upon us; Rouge One is here. Last year saw the start of the new Star Wars era with The Force Awakens and LucasFilms/Disney is keeping their promise by releasing a new Star Wars film once a year. Since this film focuses more on the rebellion side of this universe and less on the Jedi aspect that we know and love, many people were nervous that this film wouldn’t be a smash hit without that part. Well, nothing to…

Rouge One:  A Star Wars Story is so close that we can feel the heat coming off of the blasters firing overhead. So, to welcome the second installment in the new Star Wars era, I decided to revisit the classic film that started it all with a critical eye and not the fanboy mindset that I have had since I can remember watching the movie when I was a 5 years old. Now before we begin, the version that I will be reviewing is the 2006 DVD version that featured many altered scenes. I would love to have watched the…

Someone please explain to me how James Gunn can take characters from a Marvel comic, that non fans knew almost nothing about, make them to characters that we love in a Marvel film, and then come back two years later to make us love them even more? I mean, this trailer screams fun all over again. The trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 finally dropped onto the web and it looks like another hit out of the park for the MCU.  The crew of The Milano is back and are the a-holes the universe needs to save itself…

Alright anime fans, the live action Fullmetal Alchemist trailer has finally dropped and it’s just the right amount of taste to wet your whistle. The trailer for the adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa’s manga gives us a glimpse of the world of the series. There are a few landscape shots, some alchemy and of course, the transmutation circles that fans will instantly recognize. We don’t get a clear look at Ryosuke Yamda, who plays Edward Elric, but you do see that iconic blonde hair, red jacket , and him doing his thing as he’s about to perform some serious bad ass…

Dave Chappelle came back to television in spectacular form with this week’s SNL and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Last night, Dave Chappelle took the stage in the show’s opening monologue and gave us quite a lot of things to laugh at in today’s current events. SNL has always been known for having hit or miss sketches but with when the writers decided to spoof ‘The Walking Dead’, with the power of Negan’s bat ‘Lucielle’, the skit was knocked out of the park. Chappelle came out in full Negan get-up and played “that” memorable scene from the…

In the same day where Kevin Conroy revealed his favorite live action Batman, the actor also revealed his thoughts on Heath Ledger’s Joker – as well as co-star Mark Hamill’s. We were lucky enough to be in attendance of the panel at Stan Lee’s LA Comic Con (that we will have full audio of shortly), and here’s what the actor had to say: “Mark Hamill, I thought was “hands down” the most incredible Joker. But then we saw what Heath Ledger did, and wow this just a crazy amount of crazy. He’s not better than Mark but he’s just another…

When it comes to talking Batman, (or anything really) Kevin Conroy has never been one to hold back. He recently criticized Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump and also criticized Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, mainly because of Batman killing in the film: “In the most recent live action movie, that seems to have been a line that was crossed and it’s not one I’m particularly comfortable with.” He’s also criticized Christian Bale’s Batman voice, but at a recent panel we attended at Stan Lee’s LA Comic Con (that we will have full audio of shortly), Conroy was asked who…

We’re currently attending Stan Lee’s Los Angeles Comic Con, in particular, a panel with Mike Colter and Stan Lee, and Colter was just asked some very interesting questions. The topic of whether or not Luke Cage thinks of himself as a black superhero came up – and here’s what Colter had to say on the subject: “Luke Cage doesn’t think of himself as a black superhero, he thinks of himself as a superhero who happens to be black.” Obviously, given the show’s subject matter and things that have been going on as of late, this is a very hot subject.…

We’re currently attending Stan Lee’s Los Angeles Comic Con, in particular a panel with Mike Colter and Stan Lee, and he was just asked some very interesting questions. When specifically asked what he thought of DC, here’s what he had to say: Trying to put me on the spot here. I know there’s some closet DC fans around here. DC and Marvel are always about entertainment, right? And what’s great about DC and Marvel [is] it’s like any great rivalry. We’re trying to push the other one to excellence. DC is always thinking of a new way to challenge Marvel…
