Famed actor Paul Sorvino has passed away. Sorvino is best known for his role as cool mannered gangster Don Pail Cicero in Martin Scorsese’s film “Goodfellas.” It appears as if it was due to natural causes, while his wife Dee Dee Sorvino was near. She confirmed the news via Instagram. His second most notable role would be that of Sgt. Frank Cerreta on NBC’s “Law & Order.” He also was cast as Henry Kissinger in Oliver Stone’s “Nixon.” His lifetime achievements of being an actor were almost overshadowed however as Paul was originally a talented singer, but when he became…

Vince McMahon started as a ring announcer in the 1970s, working for his father before purchasing the family’s wrestling company from him in 1982. The company was later known as WWF (World Wrestling Federation) by 1979, and later WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) in 2002. For all those decades, McMahon has been the CEO, and has had total creative control over the company. McMahon has announced he will be retiring as Chairman of WWE. This doesn’t seem surprising after reports of roughly $12 million in payments in WWE funds were made by McMahon to women whom he had affairs with over…

Kirby Howell-Baptiste (“Killing Eve”) is playing the role of Death Netflix’s upcoming “Sandman” live-action series. The character started as a minor role in Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” comics, but eventually came to prominence in her own series. With Kirby taking on the iconic character, she had some things to say about her experience. The approach to the character of Death by Gaiman and team in the comics is more of an 80s, big haired and dark eye-lined goth aesthetic than the typical dark cloak and scythe with a skeletal bodily form underneath. When helping people depart for the afterlife, Death gracefully…

Legendary writer Alan Grant has passed away today. His wife, Sue Grant, confirmed the news.

He created many known characters of the Batman rogues gallery such as the Ventriloquist, Anarky and the Ratcatcher. Along with his work at the British comic magazine “2000 AD” where he worked on the infamous “Judge Dredd” and the lesser known “Strontium Dog”.

This is all part of a “Jim Crockett Promotions Presents: Ric Flair’s Last Match” wrestling event. Up until now, Flair has not shared who his final opponent will be, but that’ll all change tonight, two hours before “WWE Raw.” UPDATE Flair will join his son-in-law, Andrade El Idolo, in a tag team match against Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal.

In the final moments to “Ghostbusters: Afterlife”, we finally got to see the classic Ghostbusters make a return. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson appeared as Peter, Ray, and Winston respectively. With the sad passing of Harold Ramis in 2014, Egon Spengler reappeared as a CGI ghost. Murray, Aykroyd, and Hudson also appeared in Paul Feig’s 2016 film, albeit in cameos and not as their classic “Ghostbusters” characters. Hudson has always been pretty accessible to fans in terms of Ghostbusters fandom. Whether he’s appearing for special signings at conventions or photoshoots that involve him riding around in fan-made Ecto-1s,…

When the new RoboCop game by developer Teyon was announced, fans were skeptical it could bring the character of Alex Murphy to life. In the history of RoboCop games, not a single developer has been able to completely capture the feel of the policing cyborg. It looks like all of that is about to change as the new Robocop: Rogue City trailer has dropped. The usual setup for a RoboCop movie is that the police are being overrun with a violent crime wave and the nefarious corporation OCP is somehow involved. While the trailer didn’t give away too many details…

Remakes and re-releases have become huge financial successes in the video game industry, with the likes of the “Resident Evil” franchise and “Ghostbusters: The Video Game” remastered. It seemed only natural more popular horror-comedy games would get the same treatment. “Lollipop Chainsaw,” a game about a high school cheerleader caught in a zombie outbreak, is confirmed for its own remake that will include additional content. The major downside being both co-creators of the video game Suda 51 and James Gunn are not going to be involved. “I heard about it for the first time from Suda a couple weeks ago,”…

Tim Burton’s “Batman” 1989 has long since been heralded as one of the best superhero movies. It (along with Richard Donner’s “Superman”) is often credited as one of the movies that kick-started comic book characters in film.  Burton’s darker sequel, “Batman Returns,” still has a strong influence. But, the reception by toy companies and studio execs of “Returns” pushed Burton from doing a third Batman movie in the mid 90s. But when Sam Hamm, writer for both films, had the option to turn what was essentially the third story into a comic book-he jumped at the chance. Enter “Batman ’89.”…
