It appears that this was the week for stars. On Wednesday we all geeked our brains out for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but before that we actually kicked off the Star-ry sci-fi goodness a bit earlier than expected when Paramount unveiled the first trailer for Star Trek Beyond four days ahead of schedule.

In a two week period that will now become known around these parts as *lightning strike* THE DARK AGES *dun dun duuuuunnnn!!*, our entire site became unavailable and there was next to nothing we could personally do to fix it. Well, except really, really freak out. The problem …
2015 might be the greatest year for cartoons ever and hopefully the start of a new golden age that hasn’t been seen since the peak of the Cartoon network and Nickleodeon era. There could only be one winner for the best cartoon of 2015 however, and that award that we got from the ACME warehouse goes to...
It is the week before Star Wars and all the smaller films are rushing to release. Remember: always arrive before the big star, not after. At least then you have a small chance of being noticed. As a consequence there are four new top 10 debuts this week… Last Updated: December 16, 2015
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
