The trailer for Supernatural season 10 is finally here, and it promises to be a good time for everyone – well, except maybe for Sam Winchester. Demon Dean is kicking it off in style, and the trailer gives us a taste of the hijinks that will ensue. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD0dJRFcvYU] The trailer starts out on a…
It’s easy to look upon Marvel’s ranks and curate a personal list of favorites based on their abilities and personality. However, Marvel’s portfolio of characters is too complicated to judge along that basis. Rather than an array of personal inclinations (mine would see the likes of Fatomex among the top 5), we must treat these…
“Game of Thrones” fans who are anxiously awaiting the show’s fifth season (which is now in production) may be disappointed to discover that the series will return minus one story line. Earlier this month, Isaac Hempstead-Wright (who plays Stark heir and resident skinchanger Bran) and Kristian Nairn (Bran’s massive helper Hodor) were confirmed as not…
The first ever radio dramatization of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s apocalyptic novel Good Omens is coming to BBC Radio 4 this December, and will be voiced by an exceptional cast. Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere received a BBC radio dramatization in 2013 featuring none other than Benedict Cumberbatch, James McAvoy, Natalie Dormer, and Christopher Leeamong the…
The rise of social media has brought about a heightened level of connectivity and interaction between celebrities and their fans. But like all correspondence that takes place via the Internet (and in general), not every person on the other end is nice. And sometimes, you have the misfortune of bagging yourself a crazy or two….
With series 8 of Doctor Who having aired recently (and so far, it’s off to a decent start), I decided it was high time to take a look at this classic show – well, renewed, really – and see what makes it arguably the saddest show on television. And I don’t mean saddest as in…
Rumors about a possible Ghostbusters 3 movie have been floating around for a long time now. While it’s still unclear whether this revisit of an old favorite will ever become a reality, Sony seems genuinely interested in the project. Even more promising, original director Ivan Reitman and actor/screenwriter Dan Aykroyd have been hinting that it…
It seems like the last time someone expressed interest in a role at Marvel, they ended up with one comically repetitious line in a major summer blockbuster and an additional mysterious role in the future (Vin Diesel). While some actors patiently wait for Scorsese or Spielberg to cast them in one memorable role, others look…
Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Blind Assassin, and many more, is writing a novel that will not be read for 100 years. She has agreed to be the first contributor to the Future Library Project, which will compile 100 texts from 100 different authors – and these books won’t be published until…
In the years since its announcement, our minds have been spinning with excitement and anticipation for Richard Linklater’s ambitious project Boyhood- and it did not disappoint. Filmed over twelve years, the movie would guide viewers through the childhood of a boy, Mason (Ellar Coltrane), from ages six to twelve. Throughout, we witness the struggles of…
Well, the summer movie season has come to an anticlimactic close and while the kiddies are back to school and stay at home moms/dads revert to afternoon boozing and reality television, we ready ourselves for Oscar season. But before we go any further, we must look back and reflect on the high tides and shallow…
While some people believe robots are heartless, soulless beings bent on stealing our jobs and/or destroying us in the future, one robot may prove them wrong very soon. Masayoshi Son, a Japanese businessman and founder of SoftBank Corp., recently announced that he will be selling a humanoid robot that reads emotions. How Does The Robot Read…
It’s been a long twenty-four years since 1994 sleeper hit Tremors came out in theaters. Since then, the film has spawned a whole franchise, including a television series and a myriad of sequels. The franchise’s long list of entries has introduced fans to many a new character, but it also has brought many characters from…
When looking at a list of upcoming movie releases, you’re never quite sure of the quality you’ll be getting when they finally make it to the theater. For example, Guardians of the Galaxy has taken the world by such storm there has been an upswing in people naming their babies “Groot.” I, of course, have…
Doctor Who has a long tradition of realizing fictional stories through science fiction whether it be ghosts in Charles Dickens’ time or evil witches casting spells in the time of Shakespeare. This story is different as it depicts the events of the Robin Hood story as historically accurate. Suspending our collective disbelief for a moment,…
