A couple of weeks ago, we wrote about Code 8, a mysterious project from Robbie and Stephen Amell. Now, the project has been unveiled, and it looks like an intriguing film project. We speculated that the project was going to be released On Demand, but it turns out that the short film was just a…
And punching. The road to Civil War also involves a great deal of punching. If you’ve shared some of our concerns that sometimes it feels like Marvel is escalating to its ginormous comic book storyline (and sort of hot mess) that is Civil War in its Marvel Cinematic Universe a bit too quickly, then this…

This is the Batman of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight film trilogy, and if the gloom-and-rain-soaked trailers are any indication, it is what…
A near-total drag, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” plays like a loose, unofficial quarter-billion-dollar remake of “The Odd Couple,” in which Oscar and Felix are literally trying to kill each other. I kid. A little. This certainly is not true of director Zack Snyder’s solemn melee. The movie does not kid. It takes the…
