It seems the streaming juggernaut Netflix is on a war path. As they continue to be a premiere service in the streaming wars, they have continued to buy as many rights to projects as they possibly can. And they’ve done it again, as the rights to the 1970 famous 8 book series “Black Samurai” has been purchased by Netflix. The series was created and written by Marc Olden, who sadly passed away in 2003. He was nominated for an Edgar Award for his work, which centered around a black man named Robert Sand who learns the ways of the samurai…

“Studio 666” is good enough to be recommended, but not quite good enough to warrant leaving your house to see.

There’s nothing quite like a nice, stiff drink to pair with the ending of an epic show like “The Walking Dead.” As the long running AMC flagship show comes to an end, the channel has partnered with The Sexton Single Malt to release a limited edition celebratory bottle to commemorate the show’s end. Cast member Ross Marquand, who plays Aaron on the show (and also played Stonekeeper Red Skull in “Avengers: Endgame”), is a whiskey aficionado, and will serve as the collaborative brand ambassador. The bottle features “The Walking Dead” imagery that wraps around the distinctive hexagon bottle design. A…

Here comes “Peacemaker” as the top-ranked title in Warner Bros. Pictures’ much-maligned DCEU, for now at least.

“Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is basically a reskin of “Halloween Kills,” right down to the feeble attempt to connect it to the original.

“Peacemaker” season 1 is an absolute delight, packed with fun, violence and irreverence yet somehow managing to tell a heartwarming story.

You can find me in da….comic book movie? No stranger to film and television both in front of and behind the camera, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s G-Unit Film & Television production company has its sights set on a new comic book adaption. The media company recently optioned Christopher Priest’s comic Xerø, a short lived DC Comics series that ran from 1997-1998. Though originally a DC Comics property, the rights reverted back to Priest in 2008, which means that this new development deal will be exclusive to G-Unit and their partners Color Farm Media and newly launched Illuminous, with no involvement…

“Lucy and Desi” manages to stand out, with a compelling look into the fascinating lives of the beloved power couple.

I’m going to get my bias and skepticism out of the way so you can bypass my stance and get to the nitty gritty. I can’t think of anything worse than a corporation hellbent on global domination developing their own corporate residential communities. It’s like we’ve learned nothing from literally every single historical and fictional depiction of a business owning small towns. I don’t care how magical you still find the Matterhorn. Disney building residential communities is literally the premise of “Resident Evil,” and feels more like a real life Umbrella Corporation than a magical time of living next to…

We often forget how much work goes into making films. Even more so, we forget how many people are involved in a single project, and how many things can and usually do go wrong. Hell, anyone who’s ever done a science project with 4 people knows full well that anything that can get crossed or go wrong typically does. Now multiply that by 100s of people all working on different parts of the same project, and it’s amazing that we ever get movies at all. Ahead of Pixar’s “Lightyear” releasing this June, the often forgotten “Toy Story 2” deletion fiasco…
