The Weapon X program has done it, at the cost of their own destruction: they’ve completed their biggest and most dangerous experiment yet, a hybrid of Hulk and Wolverine DNA known as Weapon H. Now, he’s ready to take on the world – and he means business. Following his debut in Totally Awesome Hulk and Weapon X ‘s “Weapon of Mutant Destruction” summer crossover, Marvel have announced that the character will star in a new ongoing series coming in March from Totally Awesome Hulk/Weapon X writer Greg Pak and X-Men: Blue artist Cory Smith.
“Greg Pak wrote one of the biggest and most action packed Hulk stories ever in Planet Hulk…so it only made sense that he brought those same sensibilities to Weapon H,” said series editor Darren Shan. “We’re going to pit him against the biggest threats of the Marvel Universe that you can imagine,...

It’s time for a new beginning. The last year’s been a difficult one for the X-Men; in the aftermath of Secret Wars, the mutant race was locked in a battle for survival against the Inhumans. All that finally came to a head in Inhumans vs. X-Men, a miniseries that drew a line under this period – and set the groundwork for something new.
So we move to X-Men: Prime, a one-shot that sets the stage for the X-Men’s next era. The issue united a number of key architects in the next wave of X-Men books; Marc Guggenheim, Greg Pak and Cullen Bunn as writers; Ken Lashley, Ibraim Robertson, Leonard Kirk and Guillermo Ortego as artists. It serves a simple purpose: to establish the bare-bones of the new status quo, essentially serving as an advertisement for everything that’s coming. The good news? It’s a tremendous success.

It appears that this spring will have no shortage of excitement for X-Men fans. Not only is Old Man Logan getting a new creative team in a matter of months, but Inhumans vs. X-Men will soon be behind us, paving the way for ResurrXion. As such, Marvel will be releasing an oversized one-shot in a few weeks to kick things off in the form of X-Men: Prime #1.
With a price tag of $4.99, you may assume that more than one story will be contained within said tome. Well, if that’s the guess you hazarded, you’d be right because various creative teams will contribute tales that will reverberate into their own respective ongoing series.

Over the past couple years the X-Men comics have gone through major story lines and the team dismantled and reassembled in many forms. Since 2012 Marvel event Avengers vs. X-Men comic sales for this beloved franchise went on a decline. Majority of fans believed that Marvel Studios wanted the series to do poorly and fans to forget about the X-Men so the Fox would give up rights to the movie franchise. Although that was speculation the plan never worked since Fox was successful with Days of Future Past and Apocalypse. Slowly over the past year Marvel Comics has righted the ship by bringing in favorites like Old Man Logan, X-23, Young Cyclops, and Kitty Pryde back into the main stream X-Men universe.

The Danish-born director, Nicolas Winding Refn, has helmed a few popular movies such as Drive (2011), Bronson (2008), and the Pusher trilogy. This success has been only slightly marred by a handful of far-less-favored works including Fear X (2003) and Only God Forgives (2013) starring Ryan Gosling.
Ironically, that latter disaster supplied grist for one of the best scenes in the documentary, My Life Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, which was helmed by Refn's wife, the talented but put-upon Liz Corfixen. Near the end of her engaging feature on her self-absorbed spouse, Refn, lying on his bed after the Cannes opening of Only God Forgives, mutters, "Why do critics have to be so cruel?" Then he reads aloud off his cell phone this Hollywood Elsewhere critique by Jeffrey Wells:
"Movies really don't get much worse... It's a shit macho fantasy -- hyperviolent, ethically repulsive, sad, nonsensical, deathly dull, snail-paced, idiotic, possibly woman-hating, visually suffocating, pretentious... [T]his is a defecation by an over-praised, over-indulged director who thinks anything he craps out is worthy of your time. I felt violated, shat upon, sedated, narcotized, appalled and bored stiff."
What I found so fascinating here, besides Refn's reaction to such verbiage ("That's how you know when you made great cinema. When half love and half hate it."), was that Mr. Wells will be able to reuse his review word for word for The Neon Demon.
This tale focuses upon a sixteen-year-old virgin, Jesse (Elle Fanning), who arrives in Los Angeles to begin a modeling career. Her first job is to lie on a couch with her neck supposedly slit and the fake blood streaming everywhere. The photographer is the young, kind-hearted Dean (Karl Glusman, who exposed his erection throughout Gaspar Noé's equally dull Love (2015)). The chap instantly falls in love with her.
Please don't ask why a nice guy would have a young woman pose with her body mutilated, other than it is a striking visual to open a film with. Anyway, Jesse has no time for love. Admitting herself talentless except for being pretty, she has only one item on her bucket list: to be a top model. Seemingly, she will succeed because when this young woman enters a room, everyone stares. Men. Women. Goats. Chimpanzees.
The very next day she's hired by a modeling agency. Twenty-four hours later she's posing for a top brooding photographer (Desmond Harrington), who after spotting her, has everyone leave the studio, orders Jesse to strip, then rubs metallic paint all over her body. Hopefully, it's not lead-based.
Soon every blonde model in L.A. with an Olive-Oyl physique hates her for stealing their jobs, and to top it off, the manager (Keanu Reeves) of the cruddy motel she's staying in is a rapist with a Lolita fixation. Uh-oh. Can there be more? Poorly directed party scenes, stray wildcats and eyeballs, cannibalism, a vile depiction of a horny lesbian, necrophilia in a mortuary, and a dastardly over-the-top performance by Alessandro Nivola as a shallow fashion designer just scrape the top layer of the slime that slithers about as The Neon Demon.
Mr. Refn has noted his goal was to make a satire about the modeling industry and America's facile addiction to externals. He also wanted to explore the 16-year-old girl that resides within himself. As if that weren't enough inspiration, he's spouted, "One morning I woke and realized I was both surrounded and dominated by women. Strangely, a sudden urge was planted in me to make a horror film about vicious beauty."
Now if Mr. Refn had an iota of wit (visual or otherwise) or if he respected women (his wife says he just wants her around as a housewife) or if his half-baked ideas spent ten more minutes in the oven, this offering could have been a gas. Paul Morrisey, John Waters, or even Greg Araki might have shaped this hodgepodge into a tongue-in-cheek funfest. But if Refn is aiming for intentional laughs, he fails. He seems to have been treading more into David Lynch territory but was swallowed up by the quicksand of his own dullardry. More Blue Polyester than Blue Velvet.
That Refn had no idea what he was creating with Demon was not a new occurrence for this vanquished auteur. He has said of a previous effort, "I've spent three years on this movie, and I don't really know what it's about." Then after the filming and the editing of Only God Forgives was completed, he observed to his wife," I wasted six months of our lives." Happily, for us, with his latest, our wasted time clocks in at one hour and 57 minutes. It just feels like six months.

Warner Bros. is still hard at work fleshing out the corners of their own cinematic universe, and now it looks like they're keen to get Booster Gold and Blue Beetle on the big screen together with the help of Arrow and Flash's Greg Belanti!
If you're eager to see slightly different heroes pop up on the big screen in DC's cinematic universe, then you're in luck. The Tracking Board is reporting that Greg Berlanti, the executive producer and primary force behind Arrow and The Flash, is developing a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle movie for WB. There was already a Booster Gold Easter egg hidden in Man of Steel, which led many fans to believe/hope that the hero would eventually have a role to play in the Dceu. Now it sounds like it's going to happen, though from the report, it'll be something dramatically different from the other DC films currently in the works.

Of all the DC characters that could appear on either The Flash or its sister series Arrow, I was not expecting to see Booster Gold’s name on the list of possibilities. However, as a card-carrying member of the Booster Gold Fan Club, I obviously couldn’t be more excited about it.
DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns, who has his hand in all of the upcoming DC projects, teased the possibility of Booster Gold’s appearance while on tour promoting The Flash, which premieres later this week. He and the other Flash producers talked at length with MTV about the upcoming series and were questioned about their plans to fill Arrow and The Flash with even more DC characters.

The delights of genre cinema are born from human imagination. The stories are nurtured by individuals who optimistically hope and believe across the years of their lives that a single film will devour that their tales arrive at the intended destination – to discover and touch the sensibilities of the audience.
If films are born out of the imagination then so the same could be said for the festivals that showcase them – festivals such as FrightFest that are crafted according to an ethos shared by four men who genre cinema continues to owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude – “‘Run by fans for the fans”, to find those great new voices in genre and see what difference they can make, and to ensure the FrightFest spirit of community endures.

The fun of watching a week's worth of new movies that almost no one has seen is the unknown -- you're not sure which ones will be great, which ones will move you to tears, or which ones will make you get up and walk out of the theater.
In other words, going into this year's Toronto International Film Festival, I expected the same thing I always do at events like these: to see a few good movies, one-to-two outstanding ones, a couple of hidden gems, and a whole lotta' duds. After returning from Canada last Wednesday, I am happy to admit that I was wrong.
Of the 20 films I saw at Tiff this year, two of them were bad, one was downright weird, two more were so-so, and the other 15 (15!) were spectacular. This is a phenomenal track record for a film festival, even one as distinguished as Toronto's.

Here we go again. Beyonce is pregnant with baby number two, according to Friday's reports. After the world had a moment to take in that news, chatter turned to two topics of conversation: how will Blue Ivy deal with a little sibling edging in on her turf, and what kind of name will Jay and Bey choose to pair with her meaningful moniker. Luckily, the Internet is here to provide suggestions.
By Friday night, #BeyonceAndJayZSecondBabyNames was trending nationwide on Twitter. And while the last time Beyonce was expecting everyone was wondering about names like Brooklyn (per Jay's rhyme "If we had a daughter, guess what I'm a call her? Brooklyn Carter...) or Sasha (as in Fierce, Beyonce's alter ego), it's much simpler now -- choose color, add plant and voila... Insta-BeyBey Name! (Never mind that the elder Carter baby's name is likely derived from her star parent's chart-toppers The Blueprint and IV.

He asks why they’re keeping the boy aboard, and Hook says that they will be using him as collateral for safe passage through Neverland by giving him to the Shadow.

"And Straight On 'Til Morning" featured Storybrooke on the brink of destruction with no easy path available to pull it back.
Let's breakdown the Once Upon a Time season finale, shall we?
First we visited Neverland. When a young Baelfire landed on the Jolly Roger, it didn't take Hook long to realize that he was Rumpelstiltskin's son. Surprisingly, being Mila's son turned out to be equally as important.
Hook felt a connection to Bae. He was the child of the woman he loved and had been abandoned by his father. For a brief moment, Hook was willing to call Bae family. It was when Bae found out the truth and turned on him that Hook decided it wasn't worth the fight. It was far easier and more pragmatic to turn Bae over to the Lost Boys.
I'd like to think that Baelfire's parting words struck a nerve. Hook and Rumpelstiltskin...

Warning: The following recap contains major spoilers from the Season 2 finale of ABC’s Once Upon a Time.
This week on Once Upon a Time, with Tamara and Greg set to “blow Storybrooke off the map,” a most unlikely hero stepped forward to declare that the needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few (or the one). But as the season drew to a close, one additional twist found our heroes setting course for an altogether different fate.

Previously on Once Upon A Time, Stranger Greg and Tamara kept busy being the worst humans ever, Baelfire somehow only aged to approximately 28 in hundreds of years, and Ruby joined Mulan and Aurora in the Land of Missing Persons.
We open long ago in the Enchanted Forest when Rumpelstiltskin proved he really was the Dark One by tossing his son into a vortex all alone. Little Bae arrives on the other side of the vortex in London, in the time of horse-drawn carriages, where he lives on the streets for approximately six months.
One day, when trash pickings are particularly low, Bae seizes an opportunity to sneak in an open window and steal some bread that’s just lying around in a giant dining room. A little girl comes in tells the boy to leave until she realizes he’s not there to harm anyone,...

TV Guide.com recently did a Q & A interview with Once Upon a Time executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis. They offer some teasers and spoilers for the rest of Season Two.
Will we learn more about the fairy tale book this season?
Kitsis: Maybe.
Will we see more of Wonderland, specifically Alice, this season?
Horowitz: We'll give you a straight-up no.
Will we see Peter Pan this season?
Kitsis: No.
Would the consequences be as severe if Regina left Storybrooke considering she doesn't have an alter-ego memory?
Hororwitz: No. It would not be as severe.
Will other characters cross into fairy-tale land?
Hororwitz: We take the fifth.
Will Belle (Emilie de Ravin) ever confront Regina for locking her up?
Hororwitz: She should!
We’ve seen Lancelot, so is there a chance of seeing Guinevere or Arthur?
Kitsis: There is a chance of seeing it, perhaps this season, but definitely someday we will.

Review Kylie Peters 25 Mar 2013 - 07:30
Once Upon A Time overcomplicates matters with the introduction of a new, superfluous villain. Here's Kylie's review...
This review contains spoilers.
2.18 Selfless, Brave, and True
Kitsis and Horowitz have a formula. Start with a large cast with lots of personal issues and a streamlined central story. End season one with a game-changing cliffhanger specially designed to torment the fanbase all summer long. Then, to live up to the expectation, continue to pile on additional game-changing cliffhangers, ad infinitum, until the show is so full of crack ideas that nobody can make any kind of coherent argument that it sucks.
Yep, it’s Lost all over again, and these guys seem to have a knack for alienating fans. One would think they’d do some research on what their fanbase likes. We like fairytale tie-ins. We like stories that respect the laws of physics and...

Body Works: Summerour’s Quiet Reimagining of Notable Scandal an Ambivalent Mix
For his directorial debut, John Henry Summerour fictionalizes a decade old account of a notorious crematorium scandal in 2002 northwestern Georgia (the director’s native stomping grounds) for his debut, Sahkanaga, in which the Environmental Protection Agency, from an anonymous tip, discovered more than 300 bodies in various states of decomposition, dumped unceremoniously in the woods instead of being cremated. Summerour tells the tale from the perspective of an adolescent boy, whose accidental discovery of the grisly details leads to his rite of passage as far as discovering the cruel realities of an ignorant small town community. Grotesque details aside, Summerour’s film is mostly an understated community drama about religious hypocrisy in a small town, albeit without any particular statement about the rights and wrongs of the cultural beliefs examined. While this observational quality is mostly appealing for this intriguing aspect,...

Comic: Silk Spectre #3
Written By: Darwyn Cooke

Publisher: DC Comics
Release Date: Out Now In Stores & Digital Download (Via Comixology)
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Silk Spectre #3 kicks off right where #2 left us. Sally unintentionally taking some acid. What this leads to is Amanda Conner’s artwork running wild as panels stretch, visuals get weirder and we begin to delve into Sally’s issues.
What’s involved in this trip is a blast. Talking cats and Sally’s thoughts on the world around her is one thing but when she starts to talk about the “Blue guy” and her daddy issues it’s a good arena to play in for this Before Watchmen title.

Ask the Addict: Spoilers for Falling Skies, Hart Of Dixie, Dexter, Nikita, Parenthood, Arrow & More!
Falling Skies second season finale is this Sunday. Any idea how it ends? — Jason
The TV Addict: Boy do we ever! Unfortunately, to reveal the seriously cool scene on which the spectacular second season ends would probably not be in our best interest of a website proprietor who very much welcomes TNT’s penchant for dropping off screeners at our door! Thus, we’ll simply say this: Not only will Falling Skies cliffhanger of an ending leave fans bug-eyed by offering up a sequence of events that they’ve yet to see before, it sets up what sure as heck looks like a very interesting third season.
Despite the fact that the word “BlueBell” covers up far too much of Wilson Bethel for my liking, let me be the first to say how much I enjoyed your recent self-made promo for Hart Of Dixie. Now that you’re good and buttered up,...

The Doom Generation
Stars: James Duval, Rose McGowan, Johnathon Schaech, Cress Williams, Dustin Nguyen, Parker Posey | Written and Directed by Greg Araki
The Doom Generation, it’s a film for the nineties and arguably of the nineties. A no holds barred teen road trip of sex and violence, well mostly sex with a little violence in there to shock you and make you wonder what the hell is going on. That’s the thing about The Doom Generation, you’ll watch it and wonder where the story is, it’s there but it’s a mess.
Basically The Doom Generation is about two teenagers who have problems in the sex department. We have Amy Blue, she wants it and she’s had it quite a lot. Her young boyfriend Jordan White wants to give it to her but quite a few times he messes that part up. Things are made...

Fringe 4.06 "And Those We've Left Behind" Review
Tonight’s Fringe episode, “And Those We’ve Left Behind,” showcases any number of things I love about the show, even if it was a little light on the mythology: that being said, I love that the more case-centric episodes allow for a focus on the characters and their relationships. Not to mention we were due for a bit of a breather after the whirlwind start to Fringe season 4.
The episode features real-life husband and wife Stephen Root and Romy Rosemont in fantastic performances as the root cause of the time slips that have been happening. Fringe Division initially attributed the time lapses to Peter’s appearance, but it becomes apparent that Root’s character Raymond is responsible; however, Peter’s appearance is what allowed Raymond to succeed with his time-jumping technology. It seems as though Peter’s very existence in this new timeline,...

Michael Winterbottom enjoyed TV success with his Rob Brydon/Steve Coogan faceoff. Now the promising London to Brighton director could follow a similar path
Could a tiny cultural trend be in the offing? Recently, the British feature director Michael Winterbottom made his debut in the world of television comedy with his wildly popular BBC TV series The Trip, starring Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan as lightly fictionalised versions of themselves, gossiping and squabbling on a huge restaurant-crawl across the north, a double-act spun off from their appearance in Winterbottom's Tristram Shandy movie A Cock And Bull Story.
I recently blogged about the fascinating career of David Gordon Green, the American director who began as a maker of lyrical movies in the manner of Terrence Malick, and now directs and produces the HBO TV comedy Eastbound And Down, starring Danny McBride and Will Ferrell. Now there is a third feature-film maker...
