Supergirl’s extended first trailer was… divisive… to say the least, although the subsequently leaked (or “leaked”) pilot seemed to get a better overall reception. Some people enjoyed the fresh take on the superhero genre while others complained about a lack of Superman and talked seriously about canon like there was a crisis on finite Earth; and the elephant in the …
The latest Mission: Impossible flick is incredible. And it’s a movie that may not have been as good without Christopher McQuarrie at helm, who you would have to think got the gig because of his collaboration with star/producer Tom Cruise on Jack Reacher (which McQuarrie directed/scripted). Because of that second collaboration though, McQuarrie was unavailable to come back to direct …
I’ve mentioned before how The Walking Dead is an ok TV show based on a fantastic comic.

It may have fallen like Ice Cube’s street-cred after making Are We There Yet?, but Straight Outta Compton is still going strong at the US box office.

Horror sequel Sinister 2 was aiming for a $15-$18 million opening this …
I haven’t seen the new Scream TV series yet, as the whole self-aware slasher thing just doesn’t do it for me any more. But it looks I’m going to take another stab (heh heh) at the genre thanks to The Final Girls. Not to be confused with The Final Girl, an actual slasher flick starring Abigail Breslin that is totally …

“Be Prepared”. That’s the global motto of the Boy Scouts. A statement that implies their readiness to take on every challenge a Scout may face. Usually this involves tying the type of knot that only an ancient Greek king can undo, and not so much with the zombie boobies. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your sexual preferences) for Tye Sheridan …
