Watch | Legion Season 1

I may not always agree with the choices that 20th Century Fox makes with the X-Men franchise, but I found myself looking forward to what they have in store for their TV offerings. Especially since Marvel TV head honcho Jeph Loeb is on board. And also because they let Noah Hawley (who is responsible for…

Watch | Doctor Strange

I think all the hubbub about different actors being considered for Doctor Strange was a sham. I think the moment that Benedict Cumberbatch made a sly remark during SDCC on the year casting for the film was announced was already a confirmation that he had the part.

Watch | Arrow Season 4

Ever since Marvel Studios started churning out their annual film releases, it’s been a common gripe that the X-Men and Spider-Man properties should be returned to…

Watch | The Amazing Spider-Man

image from downwithfilm It was too early. That was my thought when the news about a Spider-Man film franchise reboot was first announced.  The last of the Sam Raimi helmed trilogy was released just five years ago.  Even in the current world of television and film that seem to resort to adapting everything in sight,…
