‘Blue Beetle’ Movie In The Works, Will Star The DCEU’s First Latino Superhero That sound you hear is Warner Bros. taking a long hard look at how Marvel Studios has elevated so many second-string superheroes into box office sensations and muttering “Why can’t we do that?” And with a newBlue Beetlemovie, it certainly sounds like they’re going to try to do just that. And this character feels like he could be a big deal – he has the crazy armor of Iron Man, the teenage angst of Spider-Man, and beneath the costume is a Latino kid, offering Warner Bros....

‘Game Of Thrones’ – The 10 Most Important Moments In “No One” Every season ofGame of Throneshas a weak spot or two, a few episodes where the wheel-spinning becomes a little obvious and transparent. While important things occurred in “No One,” this was undeniably the slowest episode of the show’s sixth season, an hour that pumped the brakes on plot in a big way. To be fair, the episode responded by providing more than its fair share of character development and humor, but it’s fairly obvious that this is intended to be the calm before the storm, the hour where a lot of business gets handled before all hell breaks loose next week....

‘Gotham’ Director Wants To Introduce Mr. Freeze Fox’sGothamis ostensibly the origin story of Jim Gordon and Batman, but it seems to be as much about the villains as it is the heroes. Catwoman, the Penguin, the Riddler, and Poison Ivy are just a few of the classic characters we can expect to meet, along with new inventions likeJada Pinkett Smith’s Fish Mooney. Even with that lineup, though, directorDanny Cannonis hoping to make room for one more baddie....

‘Still Screaming: The Ultimate Scary Movie Retrospective’ Review We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. MostScreamfans would admitScream 4was a disappointment. It had its moments, the seeds of some great ideas, but it didn’t come close to living up to the promise of the 1997 original.

‘Sudden Death’ Remake With A “Comedic Twist” Is Headed To Netflix RememberSudden Death?

Oh, and the Vice President is at the hockey game, too. It was pretty damn dumb and featured a scene where Van Damme stabbed a guy in the neck with a chicken bone....

Jackson, have been fairly dry. We’ve learned more about the movie from box art for licensed products than we have from the stills and footage released so far....

‘The Saint’ Remake: Chris Pine Replaces Chris Pratt As The Master Of Disguise Chris Pinemay have found his next starring role – and hopefully it will require plenty of goofy accents.
