It was recently announced that the DCEU’s Aquaman movie would be delayed from its original intended release of October 5th, 2018. However, in the midst of this announcement, Sony Pictures had one of their own. On the day that was originally intended for Aquaman, Sony will release its upcoming movie based on famous Spider-Man character, Venom. To clear things up, this not a movie made by Marvel.

Let’s face it. Whether you liked the original Tron or not, most people won’t deny that Tron: Legacy was a massive disappointment. And from the looks of it, Disney thought so too.

In an interview with Collider, Kosinski revealed that Tron 3 is in development limbo. The franchise isn’t exactly dead at this point, but it’s completely up in the…
I’m not gonna lie here. When Ridley Scott released his prequel/spin-off/whatever the hell he was trying to do to the Alien franchise, Prometheus, I was disappointed. I mean REALLY disappointed. What a lame and underwhelming film to bring us back into the world of this classic sci-fi horror franchise.

The trailer shows our group of Xenomorph entrees arriving on a new planet in hopes of making it a human colony. However, as they explore,…

It has often been theorized that the titular character of Stephen Spielberg’s E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial might actually come…
Another year of the Golden Raspberries has come to a close with this year’s winners finally being announced and to no one’s surprise, there is barely any variety in the winners whatsoever this year. Almost every single award handed out was given to one of two films: Dinesh D’Souza’s political documentary, Hilary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, and Zack Snyder’s big superhero face-off, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. The only time a different film from the two won was in the case of Worst Supporting Actress. That award was given to Kristen Wiig for her performance…
The Walking Dead is no stranger to controversy. But typically, these controversies stem from content within the show itself such as excessive violence or the death of a fan-favorite character. That isn’t the case this time around. Recently in the world of the way too easily offended, a shirt from the series’ clothing line was removed by a British clothing line for being “racist” and “fantastically offensive”. The shirt in question had a picture of a baseball bat with the words “Eeny Meeny Miny Moe” on it. Fans of the AMC zombie series will immediately recognize this as a reference…
