The Syfy Channel is about to air what is surely its biggest experiment yet. Because obviously sci-fi has a lot of crossovers, and its important to make your own mark. The intent of the two shows is different.Battlestar Galacticawas much darker. It was a show about people who were lost. Their home was destroyed, they dont know where theyre going, they have Cylons trying to kill them. So Battlestars really a show about people discovering what theyre capable of when theyre pushed....

Evil Dead (2013), in-your-face-crying-for-mommy gore, from start to finish . All while attempting to make the fans happy without alienating newcomers with too many inside jokes. And it follows the story much more than we had anticipated. The film opens on a flashback (although we arent sure how long ago) of a demon-possessed girl. We learn that she has murdered her mother. Unfortunately so that save her soul, the girl has to die....

A fond look at Young Justice as we wonder what the future holds for DC Animation. This would make perfect sense as the show certainly had the quality to last. So let us bid farewell to an era as we look back atYoung Justice. WhenYoung Justicebegan, fans were a bit wary about embracing a new DC Universe animated concept. They never directly say its a sequel, but they never contradict the idea either....

Comics first lady of justice wasnt Wonder Woman, and the first bad girl in black wasnt Catwoman. Before either of these two-fisted ladies thrilled readers, there was Miss Fury. More importantly, there was Miss Furys creator Tarpe Mills. Mills brainchild was originally called the Black Fury which was quickly changed to Miss Fury. Whatever you call her, to understand Miss Fury, one must first look at Tarpe Mills. One sees the Caniff influences all over Mills work....

Danny Boyle returns to genre film following a successful stint directly the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremonies with Trance. Listen to his voice. Listen to that soothing melodic sound. It is reassuring, confident and calm. It also helps that its Scottish tenor is all the more enrapturing for us easily led Yanks. The audible comfort is from the compliment of James McAvoy, the lead of Danny Boyles latest cinematic mind-trip. Normally, voiceover is intended to create a context for the viewer entering a story....

Ad content continues below Big surprise. And who could deny the appeal of that? And why they were so piss at me? Thankfully, the fight doesnt damage Erics glorious permed mullet and moustache combo, so dont fret too much. Well, a montage and the lack of a power ballad. Its difficult to explain how much of an effectA.W.O.Lhad on my affinity for Van Damme, without contextualising. in case you were wondering....

Andy Diggle and Tony Daniel have delivered a slick, nearly perfect Superman comic with Action Comics #19! Sure, Diggle is a tremendous writer, but I wondered whether he was the right guy for Superman. However, its Lex Luthor who really steals the book. Is there anything in Superman lore more iconic than a Superman/Luthor confrontation? Ad content continues below At its heart,Action Comics#19 is a classic Superman tale. Andy, Tony…are you sure you wont change your minds?...

James introduces us to the wonderful world of animated workplace comedy Archer. Imagine MI5 run by Dunder Mifflin… The world of adult-orientated animation has long been a staple of late night television. Sterling Archer is a man with issues, mainly of the mother variety. Ad content continues below The result of these severe abandonment issues is that Archer is hilariously self-centred and egotistical. When hes not saving the world on secret missions, Archer entertains air hostesses with a table tennis bat....

We chatted to Lara Pulver and Blake Ritson about new Starz historical adventure series, Da Vinci’s Demons… LP:Challenging everything, historically. BR:Absolutely, and some of these things run along for the whole series. It keeps you guessing. How do your characters relate to Leonardo then, this composite superhero? LP:The premise of the show is Rome and Florence. Hes the primary antagonist of the piece, and hes Leonardos nemesis. LP:Its like that tug of war....

Valiant wants you to believe that Quantum & Woody are the “World’s Worst Superhero Team.” Yeah…nice try, guys. See, they were marines in armor? Readers could not tell one of these losers from the other. Valiants no frills house style made the characters indistinguishable, but does it really matter? The team has gone through many incarnations over the years, just to be cancelled. Strange, Silver Surfer, and Sub-Mariner. Even the also-rans like Valkyrie, Hellstorm, and Hellcat are pretty cool, but theSecret Defendersare another story....

Of course, some lesser actors have too. Some of them in great films. Some movies take their ritualistic studies seriously, some make cartoons out of them. Having poured over these films over the past two weeks, I’m starting with these. Smithers, who is that cloven-hoofed fellow? I like the cut of his jib. Mr. Burns speaks, as he often does, for all of us. Theres something about the guy with the horns thats just so likeable....
