Gas prices too high? Put on the brakes and settle in to COMEDY CENTRAL’s new series, American Body Shop, a half- hour narrative that explores the completely dented world of car maintenance, body work and the people who toil in it. American Body Shop premieres on Sunday, July 8 at 10:30 p.m. American Body Shop presents a view into the inner-workings of an auto body shop and the accompanying, often eccentric, characters who work there....

Today at the 2006 Comic-Con International we were given a sneak peak at the Hellboy Animated TV show. Present were Matt Wayne, Sean Galloway, Mike Mignola and Phil Weinstein. This show was moderated by Tad Stones. Guillermo Del Toro, who was running late, eventually showed up after we were given an unfinished, animatic/animated clip of the show. Filled with lots of dark green and black colors, the clip presented an anime style rendering of the characters from the movie....

Oliver Queen (series star Stephen Amell) will have his work cut out for him when he returns to Starling City on October 9 for the second season of The CW’s #1 series Arrow (Wednesdays 8/7c). At today’s Comic-Con panel session in Ballroom 20, fans learned of two new DC Comics characters coming to Starling City, Bronze Tiger and Sebastian Blood. Executive producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg revealed that Michael Jai White will guest star as Bronze Tiger, while Kevin Alejandro will appear as Sebastian Blood in upcoming episodes of the acclaimed action drama’s second season (airdates to be announced)....

Kind of fun to twist titles, huh? All kidding aside, USA Network is the hottest thing the summer has to offer. It’s really too bad they don’t really fire up the gear until mid-season, though. So you’re barely surviving the post-American Idol-formulaic refuse of So You Think You Can Dance. You’re also (not really) awaiting the return of Big Brother, which for this year, in a first for the series, will debut a 2nd outing within one year…...

Could Jon Bernthal be set to return as The Punisher in Daredevil: Born Again? That is what a new rumor from notable insider KC Walsh claims, with the claim adding that Frank Castle will replace Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones, who was initially lined up for an appearance in the standalone Daredevil Disney+ series. According to the insider, scheduling conflicts (likely due to her leading role in Orphan Black: Echoes) have stopped Krysten Ritter from being able to bring back Jessica Jones alongside Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock....

The latest teaser for the upcoming animated adventure DC League of Super-Pets has Batman concerned about regulated merchandise and Krypto the Superdog crying to Taylor Swift. Released via the official Twitter account for Warner Bros. Pictures, the footage from DC League of Super-Pets promises to heroes, villains, drama, and everything else we might need when it lands in theaters later this month. In DC League of Super-Pets, Krypto the Super-Dog and Superman are inseparable best friends, sharing the same superpowers and fighting crime in Metropolis side by side....

One of the Marvel comic book properties that is still languishing in development is Deadpool, which will feature Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as Wade Wilson/Deadpool from 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. However, the actor recently revealed in an interview that there will be no connection between this new Deadpool project and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. This falls in line with comments made by producer Lauren Shuler Donner in May, who said Deadpool would be a complete reboot of the character....

The Disenchanted trailer was released by Disney+ and filled the fans who have been waiting for this sequel for years with nostalgia. The trailer has the essence of the first film since it is full of adventures, music, and magic, but also several plot twists that no one expected. It’s time to break down everything the Disenchanted trailer showed. Disenchanted is an American live-action animated musical fantasy romantic comedy film produced by Walt Disney Pictures and directed and co-written by Adam Shankman....

Everyone who watches Matt Groening’s 2018 show Disenchantment knows that the series exists in an exciting genre and universe of its own. That being said, like Groening’s wildly popular TV series The Simpsons and Futurama, Disenchantment features an extensive ensemble cast of characters. While Groening’s two prior projects carry a massive cast simply because Groening likes to explore new characters, Disenchantment is more deliberate with this because the fantastical world of Dreamland has a lot to delve into....

Walt Disney created an empire with his animation studio. Films like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Fantasia raised the standard for animation, storytelling, and music composition. The animation studio was rising as high as the stars they wished on. Until Walt and his brother Roy passed away, Disney fell prey to a massive slump. For 18 years, Disney would see fickle success with their films. On the verge of bankruptcy, they cast the die on returning to the musical format that put the company on the map in the first place....

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Little Mermaid will be the next Walt Disney animated classic to get the full VIP treatment on DVD. The 1988 film, which won two Oscars (for best song and best original score) and is credited with revitalizing Disney’s animated features after a long dry spell, will arrive in stores October 3 as a Platinum Edition DVD, a designation that brings with it significantly more bells and whistles than a standard DVD release....

All style and no substance, Disney’s “A Christmas Carol” is a yawn inducing retread of a tired fable. The latest motion capture spectacle from techno-wizard director Robert Zemeckis almost put me to sleep in the third act. The issue is familiarity with the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and the fact that these special effects, 3D and all; are no longer the cutting edge. What’s worse is the total waste of Jim Carrey, who is pretty much playing it straight the entire time....

Dominic Purcell is through with his role on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Starting with the show’s first season in 2016, Purcell had portrayed Mick Rory, the arsonist also known as Heat Wave. That will no longer be the case moving forward, as ahead of the popular CW show’s upcoming sixth season, Purcell took to Instagram to suddenly announce that he’s leaving the series. In the caption, Dominic Purcell writes: As Purcell explains, the issue doesn’t appear to lie with money but with some kind of personal friction with the studio....

According to the update released by Apple,...

Directed by Gary Tarn and produced by Alfonso Cuaron (Y Tu Mama Tambien), Black Sun is a documentary about Hugues de Montalembert. He was an artist who was mugged one night, and as he was fending off his attackers he was sprayed in the face with some paint remover. In an instant, his life was changed and a man who had made his living seeing things was now forced to adjust to a completely different lifestyle....

Evil Dead Rise has been teased many times over the last few months by producer and long-term franchise star Bruce Campbell and director Lee Cronin, and fans finally have their first good look at the new level of horror coming in the latest installment in the franchise. The new trailer was teased yesterday by Bruce Campbell, who doesn’t appear in the movie but, as he says himself, has certainly kept his hand in – not a severed, possessed one either....

If there is one animated movie franchise that forever changed the history of cinema, it is definitely Toy Story. The 1995 film that marked John Lasseter’s feature directorial debut is considered to be one of the best animated films in history, groundbreaking for many reasons. For starters, it was the first entirely computer-animated feature film, as well as Pixar’s first feature film, establishing the studio as a worldwide animation powerhouse and paving the way for all the hits that would follow....
