Ant-Man looks a little out of place on the Marvel schedule these days, doesn’t he? Maybe that’s not such a bad thing… Let that sink in for a moment. Edgar Wright was talking about theAnt-Manmovie on one of the industrys biggest stages nearly a decade ago. Its easy to forget just how long this project has been in development. One of these things is not like the other. Suddenly, a movie detailing the origin of Ant-Man seems, well, kinda tiny in comparison....

In anticipation of Portlandias fifth season,Den of Geekis running the series in its entirety. When the spotlights ray of attention points toward Marci, she turns her back to the audience. She isnt being disrespectful and the stage doesnt frighten her. As an experimental vocalist, Marci improvises every word that comes through her body. Maybe its a rhythmic thing Ill do or a sound Ill copy to pull it to another person....

Sophie Aldred’s Ace was a Doctor Who companion ahead of her time. We look back at the girl from Perivale’s time in the TARDIS… So that was our starting point. Not just to ask questions; although some of that is necessary. Ad content continues below Ian Briggs contribution cannot be overstated. The evolution of the character, through their contributions, was an organic process. At the time, I just knew I liked it....

The bird is just one part of his new brand, an Eric re-imagined....

Are reviews and marketing campaigns playing fair when it comes to spoilers? Why is it news now when a film’s plot twist remains a secret? This piece contains implied spoilers for The Usual Suspects. Theres also Terminator 2 discussion, and marked spoilers for Cold In July. And it was glorious. I was pulled along for the ride unencumbered by expectations and predictions. And of course the ending blew me away....

The idea of demonic possession goes back thousands of years, to before we had film. Instantly controversial,The Exorcistupset audiences and authorities alike and was banned in Britain for years. Italy, as always, pulled through with the good stuff. Although this teaches us similar lessons toThe Exorcistabout possession, we also learn that copyright means nothing in Turkey. Do watch out with that copyright thing in America though. Pretty spooky considering that Eshu is the spirit of whirlwinds and chaos, huh?...

Here are 10(ish) performances that ought to be more appreciated. When the media shitstorm around Amys disappearance overwhelms her brother, shes the picture of a supportive sibling throughout. We blame that title, although the alternate home video title wasnt much better. In itself, thats enough cause to applaud Cruise for such an off-kilter performance. Whatever its called now, you gotta catch up with this one if you havent seen it yet....

When the results were all tallied up and analyzed, this is what we ended up with....

Members of the cast discuss bringing Stephen Sondheims musical to the screen. Ive always enjoyed singing. I find it joyous. This music gave you such space and allowed for you to be an actor within it. You didnt have to hit a high-C perfectly. You didnt have sing live perfectly, every time. It allowed for these songs to be an extension of the character. They were emotionally so challenging and complex....

Now we have 2015 to look forward to. Will 2015 be as much of a roller coaster ride as this year? We sure hope so. Hopefully more good than bad, though. If this wasnt the worst start to a new generation of consoles, its certainly one of the worst. You cant make a quick buck if your entire fanbase no longer has any faith in your products. Things will have to change if all of the big publishers hope to have a healthy financial year....

Forget the major studios: here are some of the finest independent films of the year. But for cinephiles who want more than capes or toilet humor, independent films are where its at. But in terms of budget, content and philosophy, these are still indie films in the truest sense. The film feels like a breakthrough in more ways than one. They really dont make em like this anymore. Cant wait to see what Wheatley has done with his upcoming adaptation ofHigh Rise....
