Bruce Campbell bashes Batman V Superman, and says it never should’ve been made. For horror fans - particularly of the horror/comedy variety - Campbell’s name often conjures up immediate reverence, as do the Evil Dead films in which he starred. Beginning in 1981, Campbell was part of a team that included writer/director Sam Raimi, who not only created a cult horror classic with the Evil Dead franchise, but also were among the first wave of DIY filmmakers to hit it big with an ultra low budget film....

Star Trek began its long wagon train to the stars as a meager sci-fi TV show 50 years ago. Since then, the franchise has conquered television, film, and amassed a vast merchandising empire and fan base. But as enjoyable as the films, including this summer’s Star Trek Beyond, have been, Star Trek is (arguably) most at home in a serial TV show format. The latest TV incarnation of Star Trek is scheduled to break new ground next year on CBS’ streaming platform All-Access....

Bungie is best-known for creating the developing the original Halo games and now the Destiny series, and now they’ll be working on another project outside of Activision, seeing as a large investment from a Chinese firm is setting them on a new path.

So far, NetEase has only made a couple of mobile and PC games, but it is key to remember that the company also releases most of Blizzard Entertainment’s games in China....

With Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil 2 knocking it out of the park, it might finally be time for the publisher to let fans experience the mythical prototype Resident Evil 1.5 as DLC. While Resident Evil wasn’t the first survival horror title – Project Firestart and Alone In The Dark got there first – it was the game that made the genre mainstream. Resident Evil (AKA Biohazard in Japan) started life as a remake of Capcom’s own 1989 survival horror title Sweet Home....

It’s safe to say at this point that pretty much every superhero fanboy and casual movie fan has a pretty well-rounded vision of who they think Captain America is and what he really stands for. To begin with, there’s the true-blue patriot who runs into harm’s way to protect his beloved country from all threats big and small. Cap’s also commonly looked at as perhaps the most somber and humorless of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s good guys He’s even famous for making sure everybody watches their “language....

From the time that Robert Downey, Jr. was cast as Iron Man to the recent selection of Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, Marvel has consistently pleased audiences with its choice of actors for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With that in mind, there has been plenty of speculation over the past few months as to which actress would be playing Carol Danvers in the upcoming Captain Marvel. Recent reports have suggested that Room’s Brie Larson is a top contender for the role, and the reaction on the Internet to those rumors has been largely positive....

After the success of 2016’s Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth has become one of the most recognizable pop culture icons. It was inevitable, though, that the fourth-wall-breaking character would reach such stature. Deadpool’s cinematic counterpart served as a counter balance to films like Captain America: Civil War and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which dealt with heavy themes involving political conspiracies and the morality of superhero intervention in conflicts....

Back in 2018, I talked about a process you might call digital calming: decluttering my devices by removing redundant apps, and switching off most notifications and badges. Four years later, that remains the single best change I’ve ever made to my use of technology. Thanks to the focus modes in iOS 15, that process has never been easier … Here’s what I wrote at the time: I said I didn’t know then whether I’d maintain this regime, but I have – and have never been more glad of the fact....

Think you’ve played all endings of Black Mirror: Bandersnatch? Think again. It turns out that Netflix’s choose-your-own-adventure movie has a secret post-credits ending after the main five that constitute the bulk of the game, although it’s quite tricky to find. Black Mirror: Bandersnatch’s multiple choice storytelling is nothing new - it’s been a part of books and, of course, video games for decades - but something so sophisticated is definitely groundbreaking....

Blac Following negative criticisms aimed at Black Mirror’s choose-your-own adventure film Bandersnatch, Will Poulter has announced that he’s temporarily leaving Twitter. Despite the positive responses aimed at Netflix’s experimental film, Poulter has opted to take a break from any further reactions aimed at the film for the sake of his own mental health.

Warning: SPOILERS for Old Man Hawkeye #11 It took the supervillain decades to do it, but at long last, HYDRA has succeeded in making a Captain America of their own - and only Hawkeye can kill him before he takes over the world. So fans can rest easy, we’re not talking about the return of the Hydra-loyal, Nazi-allied Captain America that took over America in Marvel’s Secret Empire event. That evil Steve Rogers is still around, but the latest breakthrough for Hydra actually takes place in the future....

Captain Marvel could potentially set up the upcoming Black Widow movie. The recently-released one-sheet poster for Captain Marvel gave Blacklist screenwriter Jac Schaeffer an unexpected writing credit; given Schaeffer is working on the script for the Black Widow movie, that definitely seems to imply there’s some sort of connection between the two films. Captain Marvel increasingly feels like something of a prequel film for the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. Brie Larson has described the movie as an origin story for Nick Fury, it essentially sees Carol Danvers serve as the inspiration for the Avengers Initiative, and will even reveal the backstory of Ronan the Accuser, villain of the first Guardians of the Galaxy....

Tom Holland looks creepy in a new image from Joe and Anthony Russo’s latest movie, Cherry. After working on three Marvel Cinematic Universe installments together, the trio is tackling very different material for their next collaboration. Holland stars in Cherry as an Army medic with PTSD who starts robbing banks to support his crippling opioid addiction. The film is based on a true story, drawing from Nico Walker’s autobiographical book. From that description, it’s clear Cherry is a clear departure from the spectacle-driven comic book blockbusters the Russos are famous for...
