HBO’s Watchmen finally redeemed Silk Spectre and brought justice to the graphic novel’s lone lead female character. Executive produced by Damon Lindelof, Watchmen is a sequel to and “remix” of the classic comics series written by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. The Watchmen graphic novel is a legendary deconstruction of the superhero genre up to the mid-1980s where Moore and Gibbons dissected the various tropes of costumed superheroes in more detail and uncompromising grit than ever before....

A new teaser for HBO’s upcoming Watchmen TV show was released today, and confirms the drama series, based on DC characters, will have a fall 2019 premiere date. The DC universe has been increasing its television and film footprint over the past couple of years, including the announcement of a new show based on the Watchmen comics. HBO is known for creating mature, dark and exciting content for their viewers, and the teaser video reveals the new show will likely follow suit....

Hannibal season 1 episode 5 added another serial killer to the show’s expanding roster in the form of the Angel Maker. While Anthony Hopkins’ performance in The Silence Of The Lambs made Hannibal Lector an icon, the NBC series somewhat redeemed the character following underwhelming movies like Red Dragon and 2007 prequel Hannibal Rising. Hannibal itself focused on the titular cannibal’s friendship with Will Graham before the latter eventually catches him, with the show mixing different elements from Thomas Harris’ novels....

Director Cathy Yan has weighed in on support for her film Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), thanking fans in the #ReasonsToSupportBoP movement. Birds of Prey was released last weekend and features the return of Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn. Robbie made her DCEU debut in 2016’s Suicide Squad, making this film her second appearance as the character. Harley Quinn was considered a standout of the movie and is one of the few characters returning for next year’s sequel/reboot The Suicide Squad with James Gunn at the helm....

With Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), DC has finally achieved what it failed to do with Suicide Squad. The latest DC Extended Universe movie is essentially a solo outing for Harley Quinn, with the eponymous team forming in the background to her non-chronological breakup with the Joker. It is, essentially, a villain movie that pushes the heroes to the background. Villains have always been an essential part of DC Comics adaptation, especially those involving their pride and joy....

Typically, a well-known and successful film actor has one role in particular that their name is associated with almost exclusively, then a smattering of other roles that fall to the wayside. Harrison Ford is a bit of an exception to the rule, attaining two incredibly successful parts that have followed him throughout his career, as well as a variety of other high-profile characters. As if the Indiana Jones and Star Wars franchises weren’t enough, Harrison Ford will soon be stepping into the MCU as Thunderbolt Ross....

The presence of Dementors in the Harry Potter series was meant to signify the overwhelming feeling caused by depression. The Dark creatures were mentioned in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets but their first appearance came in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Author J.K. Rowling was known for injecting aspects of her personal life into her beloved series, and that was the case with the creation of Dementors....

The Sorcerer’s Stone, also known as the Philosopher’s Stone, was one of the most magical objects in the Harry Potter series. The red stone had the ability to turn any metal into pure gold. More importantly, it had the power to create the Elixir of Life, a potion that would make someone drinking it immortal. The Sorcerer’s Stone itself played a crucial role in the first Harry Potter film (and book), which was appropriately titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone....

Hellboy has come to the big screen in a new form - but the reviews are not being kind to the big red guy. Directed by Neil Marshall, the 2019 Hellboy was put into production after years of fans begging for a third Hellboy movie from director Guillermo del Toro, and for Ron Perlman to return to the title role. Instead, the franchise has been rebooted with Stranger Things actor David Harbour sporting the over-sized hand and sawn-off horns....

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is not the longest Harry Potter film, but it is the longest of the Harry Potter novels. Even beyond the pages themselves, the Order of the Phoenix has quite an extensive history. The Order readers and viewers see is the second incarnation of the group, the first having grown up before Harry and company were even born, during Voldemort’s initial rise to power....

Here’s the comic book origin of the Thanos-Copter, the Mad Titan’s infamous vehicle that can be seen as a blink-and-you-miss-it easter egg in Loki episode 5. It’s almost difficult to imagine a time when Thanos wasn’t a major part of the MCU, but it was only when the character appeared in the post-credit stinger for The Avengers that the Mad Titan truly become the puppet master villain of the entire cinematic universe....

Harley Quinn prepares for Christmas in Warner Bros.’ new Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) promo.

Harry Potter spent his entire life surrounded by people who sought to take advantage of his power and status as “The Boy Who Lived”. While a handful of people tried to betray Harry, there were some genuinely good people who wanted the best for the kid who was thrust into a position in life that he never asked for. Who remained loyal towards Harry? Who turned their backs on him? Read on to find out!...

Like teachers in the real world, the Professors at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry vary. There are competent heads such as Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall, who use their skills to further the education and understandings of all the young pupils at their disposal. And then there are the likes of Severus Snape and Dolores Umbridge, who use their positions of power to make life unbearable for some people....

In my HomePod Diary piece yesterday, I included what was almost a throwaway comment: Little did I know how many comments that one small suggestion was going to generate … It’s a minor quibble, given that it takes seconds to assign them manually, but it slightly offended my sense of technological efficiency that they required me to do it. Some supported the idea, and agreed with me that it should work for a typical setup....

In the film After, Tessa Young (played by Australian actress Josephine Langford) is a dedicated student, dutiful daughter and loyal girlfriend to her high school sweetheart. Entering her first semester of college, Tessa’s guarded world opens up when she meets Hardin Scott (played by British actor Hero Fiennes-Tiffin), a mysterious and brooding rebel who makes her question all she thought she knew about herself – and what she wants out of life....

Hideo Kojima is expressing an interest in developing a manga, making movies, and pursuing multiple “smaller” games. Kojima is the mastermind behind the Metal Gear series and Death Stranding, both of which carry his brand of unique gameplay and elaborate and intricate storylines. His works often contain themes that encourage players to explore how they pertain to the real world, and have given the gaming industry some of its most influential and innovative titles....
