Rock Out With You Plot Out: Michael Bay Reveals The Plot For His Sequel To 1996's 'The Rock'
While explosions and demolition expert #MichaelBay may be now known for blowing up Stonehenge and leading the Transformer's franchise to maligned glory, let's not forget that he wasn't always making robots fight each other. With an illustrious career spanning three decades, Bay has brought us such action-packed adventures as Bad Boys, Armageddon, and Pearl Harbor. However, for those of us who have seen it, 1996's The Rock will likely have a special place in your heart.

Prepare your snorkels and clear out those blowholes, because it is getting a little crowded down in Atlantis.

Who Is James Gunn 'Gunning' To Be The New Director Of 'The Batman'?
"Wholly sinking ship Batman, is the Batman solo film in trouble?" With Ben Affleck having ditched his directorial duties on the sketchily pencilled 2018 Batman solo film, new reports are that Batfleck could be dropping his cape and cowl all together. We need to make sure that we stick together in times of such tragedy, but if the film still does go ahead (it will), just who could possibly fill Affleck's director's chair?

Spock the Difference: Hilarious First Trailer for Seth Macfarlane's 'Star Trek' Spoof 'The Orville'
In space, no one can hear you spoof! Since 1966 we have watched #StarTrek and the adventures of the Starship Enterprise, Voyager, and soon Discovery to make the ideas of Gene Roddenberry one of the most successful franchises ever. While seeing Kirk parade around the bridge is all well and good, the shows can at times be accused to taking themselves a little too seriously.

'Wood' You Do Me The Honor? 'Westworld' Star Evan Rachel Wood Is Engaged To Be Married
Yee-haw, head on down to the lil' white chapel — can you hear them wedding bells chiming? Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood is reportedly engaged to her bandmate and partner Zach Villa thanks to a not-so-subtle announcement. While it may seem that Dolores is shacked up with James Marsden's Teddy on #HBO's wild west shoot out, outside the realm of TV, #EvanRachelWood's heart belongs to someone else. Showing off silver rings at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on January 29, it was reported that Villa introduced Wood as his "fiancé" to Mr. Robot star Rami Malek.

Ashes to Fasses: Michael Fassbender Set to Return as Magneto In Fox's 'Dark Phoenix'
You'd better get polishing that helmet, Mike, because it looks like acclaimed actor #MichaelFassbender is returning to the #XMen franchise. Taking over from Sir Ian McKellen in the role of Erik Lehnsherr, a.k.a. Magneto, in 2011's X-Men: First Class, Fassbender went on to play the part in Days of Future Past and Apocalypse. Mixed success with the franchise means that news has been scarce around Fox's plans for its "main series" of X-Men films, and Fassbender's involvement in the future of phoenixes and psychics has remained sketchy until now.

Is 'Split' Scary? The 10 Most Shocking Moments From M. Night Shyamalan's Horror
I have trouble dealing with one personality, let alone 24, but James McAvoy seems to be winning over critics in M. Night Shyamalan's latest blockbuster. Billed as a psychological thriller akin to the rest of Shyamalan's work, Split has thrown its hat into the ring as one of 2017's best horrors; all that and it only came out in January. In a year of resurrecting Jigsaw, chestbursting xenomorphs, and another round of Child's Play, how does #Split bring home the bacon in the #horror stakes?

Get To The Chopper: How The Original 'Jurassic Park' Ending Channelled 'Jaws 2'
Time to open up the gates, because we are heading back into the park. No, this isn't news on the hotly anticipated #JurassicWorld sequel, we are heading back to 1993 and #StevenSpielberg's original #JurassicPark. From toilet chow-downs to flying goat legs, clever girls to a cigar chomping Samuel L. Jackson, Jurassic Park had it all. Raptors are still my go-to excuse for not spending time in the kitchen nowadays, and as a nugget of '90s nostalgia, Jurassic Park is almost unrivalled in its whimsy.

Mo Cap-Tain My Captain: Matt Reeves Teases that Andy Serkis Is Joining 'The Batman'
If rumors are to be believed, the "Serkis" could be coming to town — well, the #DCEU to be more precise. With the next #Batman film finally on some sort of track thanks to #MattReeves returning to the director's chair and #BenAffleck reportedly getting back in shape, Batfans are looking to the future of the Caped Crusader.

Pika-view: Pokémon Anime Gets The Perfect 3D Makeover
2017, I choose you. While the original Pokémon anime series may be a distant dose of Throwback Thursday to some, it still means big business in Japan. We may only remember the adventures of Ash, Brock, and Misty, but #Pokémon has now spanned an impressive 20 seasons since its days in the Indigo League. First airing in 1998, we still hold a special place in our hearts for those opening titles and Jason Paige's husky vocals.
