First ‘Wonder Woman’ Poster Shows The Superhero’s True Colors By Ethan Anderton/July 22, 2016 9:43 am EST Check out the first Wonder Woman movie poster after the jump. It’s nice to see some brighter colors used to market Wonder Woman, especially since we get to see her costumes hues pop much more than they did in Batman v Superman.

Go Behind-The-Scenes Of ‘Kubo And The Two Strings’ With This Astonishing Featurette By Jacob Hall/July 22, 2016 12:00 pm EST The magic of stop-motion animation is that it still conjures a “How the hell did they do that?” reaction. I’ve enjoyed my fair share of films from Pixar, Disney Animation, and DreamWorks Animation, but the filmmaking process on CG-animated films doesn’t fill me with awe and wonder. At the end of the day, most modern animation is all about talented people sitting around computers and watching files render for hours on end....

Kevin Bacon Feels ‘Tremors’ Again With TV Series Revival By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 25, 2015 8:30 am EST In the past five or six years, Kevin Bacon has made some pretty interesting choices as an actor. He’s taken on two extremely different kind of superhero movie with X-Men: First Class and James Gunn’s dark indie Super, went back to romantic comedy territory with Crazy Stupid Love, had a misstep with R.I.P.D. (though that wasn’t his fault), starred in the fun indie Cop Car, and led the chilling TV series The Following, which eventually got too crazy for its own good....
LOL: Sesame Street Crowns A New King Of “Jesteros” In ‘Game Of Thrones’ Parody By Angie Han/April 6, 2015 2:30 pm EST At this point, there’s still no telling who’ll wind up in control of Westeros at the end of HBO’s Game of Thrones.

Sorry America, No Hans Zimmer Tour For You [VIDEO] By Jack Giroux/Nov. 6, 2015 2:30 pm EST Hans Zimmer is going on tour. When I heard this fantastic news, I quickly dropped what I was doing to look up the tour dates. To my great disappointment, none of the concerts are in the States.

VOTD: 72 Years Of Batman Movies In 10 Minutes By Angie Han/Feb. 19, 2015 4:00 am EST Next year brings us a new Batman in the form of Ben Affleck in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Jackson’s Nick Fury Wasn’t Involved By Angie Han/May 11, 2016 8:02 am EST Captain America: Civil War may not technically have been an Avengers movie, but it did bring together nearly every hero in the Marvel universe to date, with few exceptions. Thor and Hulk being gone makes sense, considering the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron — and besides, we know the really reason they sat this one out was so they could go on a buddy road trip next year....
