Earlier this week, the Marvel Cinematic Universe saw an abrupt end to their Spider-Man series. The fact they acquired rights to use the character at all was a miracle – something possible only through extremely intricate negotiations between Disney and Sony.

And, in an interesting revelation, Stan Lee’s own daughter apparently sides with Sony in the matter. While speaking with TMZ, Joan Celia Lee revealed her thoughts on the subject. “Marvel and Disney seeking total control…

After the fifth film ended with child actress Danielle Harris hiding in a police station at the same time a mysterious Man in Black freed Michael Myers, Halloween 6 followed shortly after. It revealed that the Man in Black not only escaped with Michael but also Danielle Harris…
As everyone already knows, Marvel’s hit film Avengers: Endgame features one of the largest film casts in movie history.

One particularly interesting actress was surprised to have found herself in the film at all – Community star Yvette Nicole Brown. Brown had taken time off in 2017 to shoot her cameo role in Avengers: Endgame. The actress ended up not even sure of which Avengers…
One of the most successful yet unfaithful video game film franchises has to be the Resident Evil series. While the first few entries were financial hits, the overall narrative continued turning away fans left and right due to its careless nature and inability to correctly follow the games. Now that the storyline was more or less wrapped up with Resident Evil: The Final Chapter in 2017, Hollywood is quickly working on rebooting the series. Director Johannes Roberts, responsible for 47 Meters Down as well as its sequel, and the sleek slasher flick Strangers: Prey at Night, is attached to readapt…
Stephen King’s works continue to be a hot choice for film and television adaptations. One of the latest to be announced is a Netflix project based on In the Tall Grass, which was written by both Stephen King and his son Joe Hill. While the two writers should no doubt conjure up some enchanting storytelling, the adaptation also has quite the director attached.

In a bizarre new movement that’s been picking up steam, a petition has been started to move the date of Halloween. That’s right, parents and other adults have been trying to keep trick-or-treaters from celebrating Halloween on the traditional October 31st date and instead have them celebrate on the Saturday prior. While it can be argued as a “safer” alternative, it seems like a rather pointless endeavor. It just goes to show how few people value Halloween as a legitimate holiday anymore. It’s now become a sole commercialized venture designed to sell candy – and now on a date that…
