Finn Jones will play Marvel’s Iron Fist on Netflix in the near future. But who the heck is Iron Fist? Were rather excited to see if itll have the same affect on the viewers at home. But who the heck is Iron Fist anyway? Outside the world of hardened comic book readers, you couldnt really argue that hes a household name. We had a trawl through comic book history to find out everything we could about the character....
Shortly after seeing the film, I shared 15 minutes with Mr Watkins in a posh London hotel room. He was a lovely chap, as youll probably be able to gather from the transcript of our chat… How did you go about making him likeable? How do you make a criminal a nice guy? Im glad you found him likeable, thats good! It was a challenge, in approach and casting. Guilt, and a sense that hes made some bad choices....
Artist Liam Sharp has been drawing all of his life. He grew up in the small industrial town of Derby, located in the UK midlands. When did you decide that illustrating and art was your passion? There was never a time I didnt draw. And everybody around me teachers, family, friends just assumed thats what I would do. Oddly theres quite a lot of pressure in that assumption! You have a lot to live up to!...
I live by the Golden Rule the man with the gold rules. Mr. T. My lifelong hero. But what do we actually know about this 80s legend besides the gold chains, Mohawk and fool-based catchphrases? I suppose we could just trawl through the big mans Wikipedia profile. Has he taken us all for fools? Youll have to decide for yourselves. His first taste of sap came when he was training for the National Guard Military Police in Wisconsin....
Being released so soon after the far superiorWhisky Tango Foxtrotisnt going to help much either. A Hologram for the King opens in select cities on Friday, April 22. Rating: 3 out of 5
Most notable in these early instances was when Dario was about to introduce the Lucha Underground Championship. Thats one of the nice touches about the show. When Kane showed up, Vince McMahon started screaming, THATS GOTTA BE KANE! because Vinces character knew just as much as we did. OnLucha Underground, were the only ones who see the backstage stuff. The crowd isnt shown anything and the commentators are portrayed as being in the dark....
Elvis & Nixon is like listening to some late-afternoon oldies. Not many thrills, but Michael Shannon brings the kitschy nostalgia. For better or worse, cultures choose what images they feel represent them. And for apparently countless Americans, that image is of the time Elvis Presley met President Richard Nixon. If you dont believe me, just ask the National Archives. Very, very odd manners. Embodying those many tics are Michael Shannon as Presley and Kevin Spacey as Nixon....
British-America spy dramaThe Night Managerpremieres this week on AMC. Because Angela Burrs character in this TV adaptation is revolutionary in a couple of ways. First of all, the adaptation doesnt make a big deal out of the fact that shes a woman. The character is the same overworked, sweater-wearing enforcement agent she would be if she were a man. Except for the fact, of course, that Burr happens to be super pregnant… Its pretty refreshing to see a pregnant character on TV whose pregnancy is not one of her defining characteristics....
Should there be a ‘ground zero’ of knowledge for movie criticism? And what makes a critic effective at their job? This article originally appeared onDen of Geek UK. I hadnt felt like that watching a film for a long time, and my eventual write-up reflected that. The thought that someone is coming for you. And he said something particularly interesting, thats stuck heavily in my head: where is ground zero?...
Are we too quick to consume movies and TV before moving onto the next big thing? Ryan looks at the gathering pace of pop culture… This article originally appeared onDen of Geek UK. Both Hollywood stars wore jumpers. Cavill looked relaxed and chipper. Affleck, on the other hand, wore the heavy-lidded look of someone suffering from jet lag. Within days, Sad Affleck had become a meme. Before the video was blocked for copyright infringement, it racked up over 22 million views on YouTube....
The WWE has a, shall we say, complicated history of using celebrities in the ring. With all due respect to his wife, this burning passion isnt for one person. Given Shaquille ONeals recent surprise participation inWrestleMania 32, just dont expect this trend to end anytime soon. Here are examples of some of the most memorablefor good or illcelebrity appearances in the WWE. 1) Mr. T teams up with Hulk Hogan against Rowdy Roddy Piper and Mr....
Surprisingly, it all began faintly similar to a recent Disney phenomenon when he was but a boy. In that time, his kingdom was ruled by the eternally young and power-hungry Queen Ravenna (Theron). Enraged, Freyas heart permafrosts over until it is literally as cold as ice. If it sounds busy, that is because it is juggling more magical narratives than an afternoon of LARP-ing. And honestly, that is much of what the middle of the movie feels like....
Its six years since the release of Avatar, and still no sequel. Ryan considers the disappearance of a great mainstream filmmaker. This story originally appeared onDen of Geek UK. Just 12 minutes long, the 1978 movie was a humble yet significant beginning for the young filmmaker. Six years of apprenticeships, set-backs and due-paying followedXenogenesis. When adjusted for inflation,Avatars gross is higher even than the original 1977Star Wars. Once again, Cameron got the last laugh....
