When one thinks of quintessential actors from the 1980's, odds are that Corey Feldman will come up in conversation. Really, it's hard not to remember of some of his more well known roles in films such as The Goonies, The Lost Boys, Stand by Me and The 'Burbs when recalling the decade that also brought us "Frankie Say Relax" and "Where's the Beef?"
Ever since Iron Man graced cinemas back in 2008, the wiser of us have grown accustomed to staying after the credits of Marvel Studios movies to see teasers for whatever the future may bring. Actually, one could argue that Samuel L. Jackson's first cameo as Nick Fury started a trend that spread like wildfire throughout the entire industry. Granted it's actually nothing new, but the post-credits scene was never as commonplace before as it is today.
Fans of comic books are well aware of what has made the character of Shazam/Captain Marvel work since the Golden Age: The simple, yet ingenious idea of a boy who says a magic word in order to gain superpowers. And as such, the filmmakers will need to cast the right actors to play Billy Batson, both as a child and an adult.
While I imagine that there are many of you out there who, like me, have been watching Arrow since the pilot episode aired and will remain on board until the very end, there still remains a sizable chunk of the viewing audience who needs convincing in order to invest their time in any given show. Fortunately enough, a newly released trailer perfectly illustrates why we should all stand by Oliver Queen for the foreseeable future.
Much like many of you out there, we remain in a state of excitement after viewing the final trailer for Justice League since it was released online this past Sunday. That said, we must maintain our composure because there'll undoubtedly be much news coming our way between now and when the highly anticipated film actually graces cinemas on November 17.
To date, it's become quite apparent that Gotham has become its own beast as it reinterprets the Batman mythos as its unique story grows. Obviously, this has proven to divide viewers' opinions, but no matter how odd the writers' decisions may seem at first (suiting up a teenage Bruce Wayne being one of them), they somehow manage to pull them off in most cases.
Even though we have an overabundance of them these days, the fact of the matter is that remakes are nothing new in Hollywood and have been around for nearly as long as the film industry itself. Still, there's no denying how much they've been flooding the market as of late, with the horror genre not being exempt from this practice. Quite frankly, I think it is this genre that we have to thank for the current trend, but that's a discussion for another day.
While Sam and Dean Winchester remain at the core of Supernatural, there are certainly a handful of characters that you couldn't imagine the show without. Undoubtedly, one of those would have to be Castiel, who's been a fixture since debuting way back in the season 4 premiere. Wonderfully brought to life by the vastly talented Misha Collins, we've seen the fan favorite angel played in so many different ways that we're starting to lose count.
Not long ago, we learned that Warner Bros. intend on bringing Teen Titans Go! to the big screen next year, thus making us wonder why they didn't opt to adapt another of their currently running series that'd have broader appeal like, say, Justice League Action, but it's not our move to make. On the other hand, they could be launching it in tandem with next year’s live action Titans series, so this could make sense in the end.
If you were to ask any avid lover of comics which books the medium has produced are the most essential reads, odds are that their shortlist includes Watchmen. Since its original publication in the mid-1980’s, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ undisputed classic has earned the respect of both diehards and mainstream critics. Not only that, but it’s been adapted to a major motion picture and will soon be the subject of a new television series to be aired on HBO.
