This is a good week to be an assassin, less so if you are a spy and really not good at all for any comic book heroes… Last Updated: September 10, 2015

I’m just going to go out on a limb here, and guess that while writer-director Michael Dougherty likes superheroes, he sure as hell doesn’t like national holidays. Dougherty was the co-writer on Superman Returns, X-Men 2 and also co-penned the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse, but has one previous feature film directing credit to his name, the horror flick Trick R Treat. …

UFC Women’s Bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has just been tearing through (and sometimes came close to tearing limbs off of) her competition in the mixed martial arts world.
