Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.

FINALLY, a trailer for “No Time To Die” that has some actual….plot teases? That’s not to say the previously released trailers have been bad, just slightly disappointing. True, the wait for the 25th James Bond film has been longer than anyone anticipated, but perhaps it’ll be worth it?This’ll be the final time Daniel Craig will portray 007. The one thing we do find less than ideal is the limited use of Lashana Lynch in this trailer. Seriously. What gives? Anyhow, here is the final US trailer for “No Time To Die:” “No Time To Die” is currently scheduled to hit…

Okay, so, we’ve spoken about this very topic at length before. The incredible Sir Ian McKellen has even said he’d WANT to return to the role of Gandalf given the opportunity. What a gift he is. We digress.McKellen, who is currently carrying on the kind of career young actors only dream about, took to Twitter to offer some commentary on a recent headline he happened to notice. In this case, a rather clickbaity headline from ScreenRant caught his attention. To be fair, the piece does go into fairly deep detail about the lore around this age of Middle Earth Amazon’s…

Back in 2018, Legendary Pictures let it be known that they wanted to bring new chapters of the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” to audiences.

While no one was expecting a full film reboot of the “Resident Evil” franchise to actually happen, we will say that fans seem pretty eager to see what director Johannes Roberts has in store. “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City” takes it’s cues from the first two games in the franchise, and sure sounds like it’ll follow those story lines more closely than the Milla Jovovich films did. In an interview with IGN, Roberts spoke about his vision for the reboot, and shared some first look images of the upcoming flick. “This movie really had nothing to do with the…
