As promised, the teaser trailer for Marvel’s Doctor Strange film debuted Tuesday night on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. Benedict Cumberbatch, who stars as the title character, made an appearance — though not in-studio — to reveal the first look at the latest Marvel movie superhero. Actually, that part could have been funnier. Somewhat in character, Cumberbatch […]

This week’s theme on Dancing With the Stars was “Disney Week,” capitalizing on some corporate synergy and giving the costume and production design teams a chance to shine. But the dancers also seem to relish this theme each season, either tapping into their inner child and Disney fan, or performing a routine that their children […]

Is it a good idea for the new Suicide Squad trailer to invoke Batman v Superman so soon? That surely couldn’t be helped, as this trailer was likely cut before BvS was released and the hope probably was that a new trailer would capitalize on excitement for the new DC Comics cinematic universe. Besides, that […]

Season two of Serial seemed like it might never end, as the podcast chose to cover a story that still hasn’t ended. Yet episode 11, “Present For Duty,” was indeed the season finale. Unfortunately, as could be expected if you’ve been following this entire season, so many questions haven’t been answered, leaving listeners feeling unsatisfied. The case of […]

Reaction to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been rather negative from film critics and superhero movie fans. (The movie currently has a 29 percent positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.) But one aspect of the movie that people seemed to enjoy was Ben Affleck’s version of Batman. So it’s no surprise that we’ll likely […]

Last week’s season 22 opener of Dancing With the Stars didn’t go so well for former quarterback and current NBC Sports broadcaster Doug Flutie. At the end of week 2’s show when a pair had to be eliminated, Flutie and partner Karina Smirnoff were among the three dance couples in jeopardy. The other two on […]

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been in theaters for five days, which seems a bit early in the process to release deleted scenes online. Yet Warner Brothers did just that on Monday, posting a scene that was trimmed from the end of the movie featuring Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) and the resolution of his […]

Last week, Warner Brothers engaged in a clever, timely bit of counter-programming by releasing a teaser trailer for The LEGO Batman Movie. The lighter, cartoonish take on Batman presented a fun, refreshing alternative to the angry, grim, homicidal version of the Dark Knight seen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, essentially making fun of […]

Whether you like or dislike Zack Snyder’s films, he should get credit for his ambition. But while he’s capable of creating some amazing visuals as a director, Snyder isn’t disciplined enough as a storyteller to execute those ambitious ideas. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is the latest, and perhaps greatest, example of this. It’s bold, […]

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters this weekend and based on reviews and advance buzz, the breakout star from the film will be Wonder Woman, played by Gal Gadot. Perhaps sensing that fans will want more Wonder Woman after seeing BvS, Warner Brothers released an image on Thursday from the Amazon Princess’ solo […]

With Ben Afflecks’s grim, dark, angry and older Batman set to hit theaters in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, a more fun interpretation of the character should feel like a refreshing alternatives to filmgoers and Bat-fans. Obviously, Warner Brothers feels the same way as the studio is developing a spinoff from The LEGO Movie […]

Season two of Marvel’s Daredevil debuted on Netflix last Friday (March 18), and while reviews have been mixed, there does seem to be a consensus that one of the strongest aspects of those 13 new episodes is the addition of Frank Castle, aka The Punisher. It probably shouldn’t be a surprise that Jon Bernthal nailed […]

Season 22 of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars was bound to get a bit more attention than usual from sports fans, with the presence of four athletes in the cast, led by two current NFL players, one of whom is the freshly minted Super Bowl MVP. Maybe watching a dancing competition isn’t your ideal way […]
