The Shadow was created by Walter B. Gibson, and long before he appeared in movies and television, he was a staple of radio. HIs first appearance was in the 1930’s, and he’s had a huge influence on heroes (and villains) to follow. For instance, the origin of Marvel Comics’ Iron Fist and Doctor Strange are remarkably similar […]
Avengers: Infinity War has begun filming in Atlanta and I know this because Marvel has released a featurette telling me so! And it looks really, really awesome. I know it’s early days yet, but it’s as if Marvel has built this massive edifice; they’ve shown us some of the rooms and we’ve seen how sprawling […]
I have never been a fan of the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (though oddly enough, I liked VR Troopers despite it being an obvious knockoff trying to cash in on their popularity). Go figure. I think my issue was that it didn’t even pretend to be interested in anything but the 12 and under set, […]
Marvel Studios was the first studio to create a interlinked series of movies– known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe or MCU–based upon preexisting properties (like Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the Hulk) that culminated in event movies (such as The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron) that featured all (or the bulk of) the […]
Because let’s be honest, I have no one intention of seeing movies like Transformers: The Last Knight because ‘Fool me twice, shame on you. Fool me three times, shame on me.’ I also don’t particularly care about the Pirates of the Carribean movies either, because…pirates. Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2 Super Bowl Trailer What amazes me […]
Hugh Morgan is dead, which why an inquest to determine how he came to be was assembled. Suspects were plentiful, as were motives but no one had considered was the possibility that the killer was something no one had seen before. Something powerful. Something feral…something deadly… The Damned Thing Ep.185 is based in a story by Ambrose […]
Some fan sites have speculated that Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones, X-Men: Days of Future Past) would appear as M.O.D.O.K, which stands for Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing in Marvel Studios’ upcoming Avengers: Infinity War (though I get the feeling the people who are making this suggestion are not only unaware who M.O.D.O.K is, but how […]
We’ve Got This Covered recently featured a video offering a little–very little, if truth be told–look at the latest entry in the Star Trek Saga, Star Trek: Discovery. And while my first question is why isn’t Manny Coto involved? Star Trek: Enterprise was at its best when he came on board perhaps that’s not the […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ben Affleck will no longer be directing the tentatively titled The Batman for Warner Bros, though he still intends to star (and probably write with Geoff Johns) the upcoming feature. Part of me wonders if Affleck’s change of heart has anything to do with his latest feature, Live By Night […]
“Killing Time is the essence of Comedy, just as the essense of Tragedy is the killing of Eternity.” Today is the first post from The Mind’s Eye, a new weekly feature on SCREENPHILES. Growing up I watched as much television as any young person, though with the added benefit of being a voracious reader. This […]
