This summer, the most successful live-action blockbusters have been the ones with capes. DCEU’s Justice League is paying attention. The Batmobile is resting behind me, more spectacularly tricked out than ever before. I think thats hard, because its people weve grown up with and care about. And they like seeing them in all their glory. Indeed, she might be more right than she knows. Particularly when their rigidity and likenesses are more unapologetically adopted....

What 80s pop culture references and nods did you spot in Netflix’s Stranger Things? We start the ball rolling below… That said, Netflixs new show,Stranger Thingsis not one ofthoselove letters. As love as letters go, its one hell of a missive. Real life but equally so, the movies of those times. This is certainly true. Perhaps the greatest number of affectionate nods go to SpielbergsE.T. From walkie-talkies to kicks under the table, their communications are guarded and secret....

TheLord Of The Ringstrilogy, despite having been published in 1955, achieved this. Ad content continues below The authorial intention behind these stories is not necessarily reflected in these interpretations. Tom Hanks and writer/director Robert Zemeckis sawForrest Gumpas apolitical, the story of an innocent in a cynical world.

His colleague presses on. 100 percent written and drawn in Russia! When you read our comics youll become a communist! Playing along, Kotkov chimes in, Thats a joke, of course, but not everyone understands that. Since the creation of BUBBLE Comics in 2011, its been one milestone after another. They started out with original series for the characters Demonslayer, Friar, Major Grom, and Red Fury. After two years they added Meteora and Exlibrium, to bring the total to six monthly titles....

Denise Richards, sadly, is no different. Richards had a sparkling, American Dream-like start in life. He doesnt challenge her mentally or emotionally and she later dumps him to concentrate on her career. I mean, holy shit. at the screen from the opening scene. The DVD cover forThe Third Wheelalso says things like THE LAUGHS KEEP COMING! and IRRESISTABLE ALL-STAR CAST but, bafflingly, theyre not claims attributed to anyone. The plot is problematic as hell on a swathe of different levels....

Ethan Hawke plays the stereotypical lone gunman wandering across the desert with his dog Abbie. In some ways, this revenge-fueled Western may be exactly what you expect from Ti West. It also never gets in the way of Wests fantastic dialogue or any of the performances. Rating: 4 out of 5

He also directed the late Paul Walker in the Hurricane Katrina dramaHoursa few years back. So, these are busy times for the writer/producer. Eric Heisserer:Sure. Theres really nothing to keep it going or sustain it for at least 90 minutes. What better way to represent that then the monster that only exists in the dark? What was the original short? Was that a scene from the feature and its expanded or just the idea?...

Nostalgia is by no means exclusive to our age. TV has always let us escape into comforting stories about the past… This article originally appeared onDen of Geek UK. Remember the good old days? Thats why everything on TV is comforting, coddling, backwards-looking fluff. A world where, get this, the Soviets have gone into space. And theres that war in Korea. Everyones testing hydrogen bombs all over the place, Castros taken over Cuba and innocent people keep getting lynched....

Russia’s only comic house is hoping to teach attendees how to create an entire industry from scratch. With almost no competition, BUBBLE Comics is leading the way for the superhero genre in Russia. Heres an excerpt of our Q&A… Artem Gabrelyanov, CEO and Founder, BUBBLE Comics:We are prepared more than ever.

Ross entered the comics arena in 1994 with the iconicMarvelsminiseries, and followed it up with DCsKingdom Comein 1996. Recently hes been the main cover artist for MarvelsAll-New, All-Different AvengersandThe Amazing Spider-Man. Enter the mind of the Midwestern man often cited as the Norman Rockwell of Comics. What keeps you dialed in? Ad content continues below ALEX ROSS:Im glad to know Ive got you fooled. That keeps me excited. The comic convention scene is suffering inevitable growing pains and consolidation after a monumental expansion period....

Last year, a new film with the titleGhostbustersopened at the box office to a surprisingly muted reception. At least not on film. Who You Gonna Call? As one of the earlier third-person shooters (or should that be third-person catchers?) To be clear,Ghostbustersis a very fun video game, but its an even better sequel. Formula superseded logic to the films disadvantage. The team even returns to the New York Public Library for a spooky encounter with The Gray Lady....

ThisHell on Wheelsreview contains spoilers. Louise Ellison was rightfully skeptical that the railroad would reach Ogden, Utah. Away from the glaring sun and clanking of hammers, Meis absence weighed heavily on Cullen. He might not have thought shed leave town, however it shouldnt have surprised him. Huntington and Durant squared off like two exhausted cobras while Governor Campbell looked on as a disinterested snake charmer. Hes never been a good mongoose whod want to subdue and feast on either reptile....

But everyone else also gets their turn. That arc does not get as fully developed as it could have, but the resonance remains. Kirks brooding over his father seems like something he should have moved beyond (ha ha) by now. And no, the modern, frenetic action scenes still dont sit quite right in the world ofTrek. The truth is, I may never see what I consider to be the perfect modernStar Trekfilm....
