If handled properly, there is something magical about taking a beloved property from the past, dusting it off, and reshaping it for a new generation. The next major franchise coming back to pop culture and theaters in a bold new way are the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, so get ready. This weekend at New York Comic […]

After the debut of their third series, Luke Cage, it’s clear that Marvel and Netflix have found their groove as they continue to churn out hit shows. Daredevil and Jessica Jones were the first out of the gates and next spring Iron Fist will round out the four shows that make up The Defenders. Earlier this year, we and That Hashtag Show revealed […]

While the superhero craze has dominated the box-office in recent years, it’s easy to forget who the real king of ticket sales for Disney has been. While Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War were billion dollar successes, they aren’t the only series capable of reaching such heights. Next month’s release of Doctor Strange only needs to gross half that […]

2016 has been a resurgent year for the horror movie genre. The Conjuring 2, Lights Out, and Don’t Breathe, have proven that audiences are hungry for quality scares and they will come out in droves if they’re well crafted. Studios can make small investments and reap huge returns, which means that we will be seeing a lot […]

The spy genre has sneakily maintained its popularity in the era of capes and superpowers in recent years. Whether its the surprising mega-success of last year’s Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation or its Daniel Craig making headlines earlier for threatening to leave the James Bond franchise, spies still hold influence in the world. Vin Diesel had a roller coaster […]

Injustice: Gods Among Us was such a large hit in 2013 that its influence extended beyond the video game screen and into the pages of the comics and even into this year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In the past few days a poster for the sequel, Injustice 2, was leaked leaving the world to speculate on […]

You have to look no farther than the Box Office Reports section to find out why Disney is digging into their own library of material to bring back to the big screen. The studio has countless animated classics that have remained largely untapped for over fifty years. The first leap was Tim Burton’s sloppy adaptation of Alice […]

Every few releases Marvel Studios takes a gamble with a film in order to push the boundaries of plausibility within their movies’ world. The first big risk was to make a feature film out of a God of Thunder who speaks with a broken Shakespearean dialect in Thor. Last year they released Ant-Man which featured a fight inside of a briefcase and […]

Today is the dawn of the Dawn of Justice, the formal reboot of the Batman brand on film. The new live-action incarnation of the Caped Crusader is being brought to life by Ben Affleck in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and it’s hands-down the most brutal, adult version of the character. However, Warner Bros has a […]

Since the late 1970’s filmmakers have been trying to find a new way to bring the terror of a shark attack to the big screen. Steven Spielberg’s Jaws isn’t just the best animals-gone-wild movie ever, it’s also one of the best thrillers of all-time. The result is an almost 40 year shadow that the sub-genre can’t seem […]

Every franchise is trying to create their own cinematic universes, both on the big and small screens. Whether it’s Universal Studios creating their Horror-verse featuring their classic monsters, or Marvel moving to Netflix and creating its own gritty corner of the Marvel cinematic universe, every property is looking to expand. Last year The Walking Dead joined the […]

Disney has already firmly left their mark on a burgeoning genre that they have spearheaded, by adapting their classic animated movies for live-action. We have already seen smash-hits such as Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella, not only come to life, but also become huge successes at the box-office due to their colorful settings and familiar nostalgic beats. The Jungle Book has buzz […]
