'Noir' You Listening? 'Logan' Is Getting A Glorious Black And White Release
If you remember back to the days before #HughJackman limped onto our screens for his last time as #Wolverine, you may recall the rather gorgeous marketing for the film. With brooding close-ups and far-off black and white shots, some fans were ecstatic at the possibility that #Logan would hark back to days gone by and be showcased entirely in black and white.

Forget HAL 9000: Theory Says Wall-E Is The Most Evil Robot On Earth
It isn't just Transformers that are robots in disguise, does #Pixar's Wall-E also feature a machine with ulterior motives?

Gar-Field Of Dreams: Peter Parker Still Heartbroken By The Amazing Spider-Man Series
Spider-Man, again! You can barely move for an infestation of spiders and the popular Marvel hero has the honor of being rebooted twice since 2002, narrowly beating Batman's revolving door of movies.
