During a recent panel discussion at Sundance (via Geek Tyrant) Jason Momoa answered a few questions about his superheroic debut as the King of Stargate Atlantis, Aquaman, in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. When it comes to his character’s portrayal in the movie, especially after the orgy of destruction visited upon the world’s oceans and THAT THING …
If like me you are in a state of withdrawal because your favourite agents have been on a mid-season break, then this short teaser is likely to kick you off the wagon and tread all over you. It doesn’t give too much away – which I am grateful for – but serves more to remind us what happened in the last …
It’s hard to believe that fifteen years have passed since Unbreakable, M Night. Shyamalan’s sophomore release after his breakthrough hit The Sixth Sense. Hard to believe in this current age, but the film was one of a few who explored comic superhero themes.

As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Brad Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission …
When Ted first came out in 2013, it was Seth MacFarlane’s debut directorial effort. It was rude, crude and it starred two dudes. And it was freakin’ awesome. Seeing Mark Wahlberg have actual onscreen chemistry with a CGI creation voiced by MacFarlane, somehow worked. It was a solid film, with some great jokes and even better characters. Naturally, a sequel …
