There seems to be an overwhelmingly lack of good female superhero films. Actually scratch that- there are just simply no good superhero films that deal with focusing on a female superhero. Supergirl, Catwoman, Elektra – well really, there just are no films that deal specifically about a superhero (in the case of Catwoman, anti-hero) that…
No one takes the Syfy channel seriously anymore. Nobody. As opposed to showing more classic science fiction shows and movies, their weekday lineup is saturated with paranormal reality shows that are mostly tailored to hauntings, ghosts, and two plumbers from Rhode Island looking for them. In addition there has also been the development of shows…
Science is in. For years anyone who wanted to be a chemist, doctor, work with computers, use empirical evidence to solve problems, work with the environment- all of that had been pushed aside in favor of more main streamed physical actions. Like football and hand eye coordination. However with the rise in technology that used…
The Wizard of Oz is a classic like no other. Both in the original novel and the first film adaptation in 1939 with Judy Garland still remain the most popular incarnations of Baum’s story and there is doubtful a Halloween goes by without some little girl dressing as a lost woman with ruby red slippers…
During the nineties, the crisis surrounding Earth’s ozone layer was at the forefront of media and environmentalist attention. Seminars, reports, school assemblies- all over what could be referred to as God’s own cancer providing form of Goatse. The amount of ozone was thinning, and we as a species were fucked. Then Y2K reared its ugly…
Politics and religion tend to universally be the topics forbidden at the dinner table, and for good reason. There are many a family feud and fight begun at a Thanksgiving dinner as your militant liberal, douchebag cousin flings a helping of yams across to your staunch, Republican Uncle, who also happens to be an extreme…
Hugh Jackman has beat Christopher Reeves in the most times an actor has played the same superhero across films. Reeves had played Superman a total of four times across four films. Jackman on the other hand has reprised his role as Wolverine not only three times for the first X-Men trilogy, but in an unaccredited…
Extended universe have always been a little, annoying to say the least. Mostly because they were only read by the scarily obsessed fans who wanted to know everything about the fictional world they were fixated in/on. There is being a fan, and then there are extended universe fans. Or there was. Part of the demonization…
Summer is a time for beaches, barbecues, and self-consciously hiding your body by avoiding the outside world at all costs. Unless it is to see the summer, blockbuster- a staple of wet, hot American summers. From Jurassic Park to Jaws, summer has become the time where trying to fill the void our television season left…
The Dark Knight Rises will be a film that will live on in the public long after most. Not because it was just any film- quite frankly it was amazing. However despite the story, the effects, the acting, the cinematography it will be remembered most because James Holmes decided that at the film’s premiere in…
The internet has made for some rather crude developments over the last couple of years. While simultaneously being a way for people to connect, it also gives the rather unpleasant and scary people safe havens in forums where they talk about safe words and what cheeses they like the most to be poured on…
Following the success of Lost, J.J. Abrams has been focused a lot in the features aspect of filmmaking working on a great number of films during the final seasons and after Lost including Cloverfield, Mission Impossible, Super 8, and Star Trek.
