Warner Brothers has faced an uphill battle in creating its own, unique DC Comics cinematic universe. Outside of Christopher Nolan’s Batman series, Marvel has been dominating the superhero movie world. When people think superhero movies, The Avengers and their individual characters are king. But WB and DC have now unveiled their own slate of films, in […]

Comic-Con attendees got their first look at Oscar Isaac as the title villain of next spring’s X-Men: Apocalypse with a poster and some very poor quality leaked footage from the film’s Hall H presentation. But those of us who weren’t in San Diego now have an official look at the X-Men’s latest adversary, courtesy of […]

It came as quite a shock to many Americans over this past weekend when reports began to trickle out that one of our moral heroes from the past 50 years, a man who stood up to racial inequality in Alabama, might actually be a racist himself. Atticus Finch, the voice of reason in the Pulitzer […]

Footage for Deadpool and Suicide Squad were recorded and viewed by millions on the Internet, despite filmmakers’ intentions to not have it released publicly. After the Suicide Squad reel leaked, director David Ayer posted his disgust about […]

In addition to writing excellent articles for you faithful AP Party readers, I have spent my summer working at a local karaoke bar. Along with paying my rent, the job has taught me one thing over the past three months: Y’all sing the same damn songs. I get it. Songs are popular for a reason and […]

What has to be done to stand out in the coffee creamer business? Judging by supermarket shelves, it seems like Nestlé and its Coffee-Mate brand rule the market, but apparently the company still wants to make a splash when rolling out a new product. As reported by AdWeek, Nestlé is launching an all-digital campaign beginning on […]

We’ve written extensively about the upcoming Fantastic Four and the uphill battle versus negative publicity that the production and director Josh Trank has faced in recent months.

(This post contains spoilers. You can read my thoughts on previous episodes of True Detective, season two, here.) Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige opens with a silent pan over dozens of black top hats discarded in the woods. Before we can ask ourselves what it is we think we’re seeing, Michael Caine juts in: “Are you watching closely?” Nolan […]

Did Saturday Night Live really think a sketch featuring Dwayne Johnson dressed up as a giant daisy wasn’t suitable for the live broadcast when The Rock hosted back in March? Apparently so. Or producers thought they’d share some comedy gold with us during the long summer hiatus. In the latest “Cut For Time” sketch released […]

After The Wire and its epic five-season run, anything David Simon does for HBO should be considered must-watch TV. (Your opinion might vary on his follow-up, Treme.) That appears to be true for the writer-producer’s latest effort of the network, Show Me a Hero. A trailer for the six-part miniseries premiered on HBO Sunday night […]

Grainy cell-phone footage of the Suicide Squad trailer leaked online from Comic-Con Saturday night, much to the dismay of director David Ayer. Two days later, Warner Brothers did the smart thing and released a legitimate trailer that brings on the bad guys in glorious HD, seen as Ayer meant it to be seen. Watch for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X08NK5CsW8Y […]

Last week, I was watching an episode of Beat Bobby Flay on the Food Network. Flay lost to the challenger, which got me thinking, “Is it really that difficult to beat Bobby Flay?” Food Network and the chef himself continue to pass along the idea that Flay is some deity within the chef world, and […]

Hannibal has been canceled by NBC, but that didn’t stop producer Bryan Fuller and the series cast from appearing at Comic-Con at a scheduled panel for the show’s fans. But rather than hold a wake for the grand, artistically grisly retelling of the Hannibal Lecter mythology and taking a virtual victory lap, Fuller showed a […]
