In preparation for the new series Ash VS. Evil Dead, I thought it would be groovy to look back on all the previous films, so lets take a look at what makes them great! The Evil...

As November 6 2015, the U.S. release of the latest James Bond title Spectre draws closer, so too does the end of Sony’s distribution deal with MGM. Sony initially won the rights to the franchise in a deal brokered by former former Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO John Calley, who’d previously served as President and COO of...
Maisie Williams is way more like Arya Stark than anyone might have guessed. Much like the character that made her famous, Williams refuses to except the current norms of the system she finds herself a part of. What I mean by that is: no, she will not play the girlfriend. In a recent interview with the Radio Times Williams commented on the state of...
The final nail is in the door. Is that a saying… maybe not, now that I think about it. Regardless, the Power Rangers reboot film has finished casting of those core five teenagers with attitude. Becky Gomez off Empire is the new Yellow Ranger. Gomez, like the other four talents cast, is a relative newcomer. This is a pretty cool deal from where I...
Many ghost stories get rolled out only for the month of October, along with jack o’ lanterns, tangled gobs of fake spider webs and oozing-eyeball bubblegum for trick-or-treaters.

In the wake of Sunday’s much discussed, cliff-hanger of an episode, AMC announced that it has renewed The Walking Dead, the #1 rated show amongst television viewers age 18-49, for a seventh season. Additionally Talking Dead, the live after-show hosted by Nerdist CEO Chris Hardwick and arguably the catalyst that launched the...

People where quick to point to this mistake, suggesting how it sends an unintentional message that condones such activity. But the multi-media festival regrouped and have a response to...
Quentin Tarantino is one of the great living filmmakers. There’s no doubt about it. He’s also passionate and opinionated, something he’s never shied away from in the past. But recently there’s been a wave of controversy over his attending and speaking at a New York rally against police brutality. The police unions for New York, Los...
I’m beginning to wonder if we will ever truly understand Harrison Ford. For a long time he just seemed like any other big movie actor despite his reserved demeanor. He appeared to be getting grumpier and impatient as he got older, but ever since the recent return of Star Wars something has changed. He seems to either be lightening up, going a...
For all the controversy surrounding the mere casting of John Boyega and the swarm of small (but not insignificant) outrages directed toward him, his co-star Daisy Ridley seems to get a bit lost in the shuffle. But she’s still got just as much at stake here, she’s making the same huge step as Boyega. Something Carrie Fisher is all too willing...
