ABC is getting ready to premiere their latest Marvel TV series next month with Inhumans. The Marvel Comics property was originally going to arrive in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a movie in 2019, but that idea has since been shelved in favor of this 8 episode event series that is going to make its debut in IMAX theaters. A bold proposition, no doubt. So, did it pay off? According to the first full review for Inhumans, not only did it not pay off, but the show is said to be a “disappointment on every level....

Action figures for NBC/Universal’s hit series Heroes are on their way, and Toy News International has the first look at the design of the toys.

Last week, Lionsgate put to rest months of speculation that the final chapter of The Hunger Games will be split into two movies, confirming that The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 will arrive November 21, 2014, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 will be closing out the franchise on November 20, 2015. Today, we have word that Lionsgate is seeking a new director for this two-part finale. Francis Lawrence is directing The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, after The Hunger Games director Gary Ross passed on the sequel in April....

Someone has digitally inserted Nick Offerman’s face onto all of the characters in the Full House intro, and the result is utterly hilarious nightmare fuel. From DrFakenstein on YouTube, the video is simply called Full House of Mustaches. As it sounds, Offerman’s Parks and Recreation character Ron Swanson has his face deepfaked onto each member of the Tanner clan along with uncles Joey and Jesse in the clip. The strange parody goes through the entirety of the opening sequence from Full House, and it’s really just something that needs to be seen to be believed....

Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau almost donated his signature to the now-infamous season finale fan petition. The final season of the hit HBO series was divisive, to put it lightly. After the series finale aired, hardcore fans from all over the world were not happy and they flooded social media with complaints. One particularly disgruntled Game of Thrones fan set up a petition to have HBO go back and remake season 8 with a “competent” crew....

After Dark Films will be releasing the horror film Captivity on May 18, starring Elisha Cuthbert (The Girl Next Door, 24) , Daniel Gillies (Spider-Man 3), Pruitt Taylor Vince (Deadwood), Laz Alonso (Stomp the Yard) and Michael Harney (Deadwood). The studio had placed ads which appeared on 30 Los Angeles-area billboards and 1,400 New York taxi tops with images of the abduction, torture and death of a young woman. Apparently the billboard was not formally approved by the MPAA, which all films looking to get rated (i....

For Harry Potter fans everywhere, bringing the three wizards who saved the world from the evil Lord Voldemort back to the big screen has been the constant refrain ever since the J.K. Rowling-penned Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play script hit the shelves. Director Chris Columbus feels the exact same way. Recently, he sat down with Variety to take a stroll down Diagon Alley memory lane. His telling of landing the director’s role to working with the young children and the world-class actors pull you back to when you were introduced to the saga on the silver screen....

On the surface, “Country Strong,” the new film from writer/director Shana Feste (“The Greatest”) appears to be a poor-man’s “Crazy Heart,” but the movie is actually an entertaining and moving look at country music and the affects that alchahol and celebrity can have on a marriage. Feste successfully uses some of the same themes that she explored in “The Greatest,” such as a parent’s struggle to cope with the loss of a child and the devastation that it causes to a marriage, and puts them amongst the backdrop of country music to better illustrate their importance....

One of Norm Macdonald’s most celebrated moments was when he roasted Courtney Thorne-Smith and her Chairman of the Board co-star Carrot Top, and the Melrose Place star considers it one of the highlights of her career. The famous interview occurred on an episode of Late Night with Conan O’Brien in 1997 when both Macdonald and Thorne-Smith had appeared as guests. Footage of the interview was uploaded to YouTube by Team Coco after Norm’s passing, and you can watch the hilarious video below....

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend featured numerous songs throughout its run. Every main character got a chance to burst into song to deal with something going on in their lives. However, the central storyline focused on Rebecca’s desire to be with Josh and how it was tied to how she hoped to find happiness. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a discussion about mental health and personal growth disguised as a musical comedy. There are times when the series can go to the lowest places as Rebecca attempts to understand how her past is connected to her present and how she initially wants to skip the hard work to jump right to the happy ending....

Last week, we reported that 20th Century Fox is interested in bringing director Joe Carnahan on board to direct the Untitled Daredevil Reboot. Today, we have word from the director himself that the studio shot down his take on the project, meaning the rights to Daredevil will most likely revert back to Marvel Studios. Here’s what the filmmaker had to say through his Twitter account last night. Our report from last week revealed that Fox was seeking an extension for the looming production deadline of October 10....

Deadpool 2 was not only the highest-grossing film in Fox’s X-Men universe when it was released in 2018, but it’s also the most successful movie in the directing career of David Leitch. The former stuntman made his directorial debut, albeit uncredited, alongside Chad Stahelski in John Wick, and Leitch has gone on to make such films as Atomic Blonde and Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw. While all of Leitch’s films have been financial hits, none have reached the level of Deadpool 2, which earned $786 million from audiences around the globe....

According to Variety, the first original episode of Desperate Housewives in five weeks lifted ABC to a victory in key young-adult demos on Sunday, even though CBS had a big head start thanks to an NFL playoff overrun. According to preliminary nationals from Nielsen, Desperate Housewives (10.1 rating/22 share in adults 18-49, 23.7 million viewers overall) was easily primetime’s top program despite hitting a firstrun season low. The Alphabet also ruled at 8 with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (6....

The Good Dexter is easily the best show on television. The Bad The extras are paltry.Dexter: The Third Season is different from the other seasons in that it seems to take more of a cerebral look at the life of America’s favorite serial killer. Rather than focusing on the kill room, how Dexter victims, the backgrounds of his victims, etc, this show seemed to go more internally philosophical as it focused on the Deb (Jennifer Carpenter), Rita (Julie Benz), Batista (David Zayas) and a new D....
