This weekend coming is Disney’s D23 Expo, the House of Mouse’s exclusive event to show off all their properties. And since one of their biggest properties, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, never actually showed off any new footage or shared any new details at Comic-Con last month, we can probably expect a big reveal at D23’s scheduled Star Wars presentation, …
You can’t keep a good homicidal maniac down, and you certainly can’t keep one Jason Vorhees from making Camp Crystal Lake an advert for the worst summer camp to ever send horny teenagers to.

Remember how I mentioned in my Ant-Man review that there’s more to comics than just the same big splashpage superheroics? No? Oh you didn’t read my Ant-Man review?

When you’re a kid, cartoons are a gateway drug. Watching the right show and talking about it at school, would earn you friends. But you had to be careful. Because some cartoon shows weren’t meant to discussed. Like Jem And The Holograms, which was a one-way ticket to shoulder-punch city in my school. Still, I kinda dug the cartoon, and …
Constantine may not have been a perfect show, but series lead Matt Ryan certainly was picture-perfect as the untrustworthy mage who headlined all 13 episodes. Unfortunately, a stellar performance from Ryan wasn’t enough to save Constantine from cancellation, as NBC pulled the plug on that show thanks to dismal ratings. But the crafty wizard has one more trick up his …
