Anthony Hopkins Is God, Ed Harris Is The Devil: If Only It Were That Black & White In 'Westworld'
It seems like HBO's Westworld is fulfilling its promise to be the next Game of Thrones. It is only Episode 2 and we are already hooked on the network's sci-fi slaughter. Ramping up the action from the premiere's stellar episode, the second outing, "Chestnut," delved deeper into the mythology of the show. There became a clear paralell between the good and evil residing in Westworld, with new addition Logan joining the slimy Lee Sizemore as "villain of the week." While to some it may be easy to label Ed Harris's Gunslinger as a bad guy, so far he has only shot up a few autonomous robots. Now there is a new theory that Westworld itself is a whole allegory for God vs. the Devil. Put on the tin foil for this one -- spoilers ahead for Episode 2 of Westworld.

Karen Gillan Shows Off More Skin (And Her Stunt Double) On 'Jumanji' Set
"Outrage!" I hear you cry. "Why is she wearing such small clothing?" If it isn't whitewashing, then it is your wardrobe dogging the films of 2016, and the reboot of 1995's Jumanji is no different. If contending with the haters of the reboot/remake genre wasn't bad enough, actress Karen Gillan recently came under fire for her rather "revealing" outfit for the film.

Season's Weepings: Ranking The Stories From 'Holidays', This Year's Creepiest Horror!
We do love a good horror anthology over here at Movie Pilot, and this year's offering Holidays is no exception! Whether it be taking the kids out of school, or the dreaded trip to the in-laws, the holidays can quite literally be hell. Holidays will do nothing to changes our minds, whilst its unnerving stories will have you reaching for the cushions. Across 100 minutes and eight segments we witness mutant rabbits, snake babies, and even a cameo from Seth Green. Starting with "Valentine's Day" and culminating in "New Year's Eve", the film gives eight directors the scope to give us their own bloody take on what should be the happiest times of the year. Whilst this post won't ruin the film for you (where would the horror be in that?), here is a definitive ranking from the worst to best of each of Holidays holidays!

George Takei Playing 'Pokémon GO' Is An Adorably 'Oddish' Experience!
Although he is used to going where no man has gone before, it seems that George Takei has missed the Pokémon GO hype train - until now!

Hulk Vs Wolverine: A Comic Book History Of Claws And Roars!
We all love a good versus fight - from Mortal Kombat to Super Smash Bros. Melee, there is nothing better than seeing two of your favorite characters duke it out on screen. The MCU is no exception, with this year's Captain America: Civil War arguably being one big battle. With most of the Avengers 'all duked out', there must be something more on the horizon though? Enter the 2012 comic-series Avengers vs. X-Men, which even already has its own fan trailer. The story opens a whole world of opportunities in cinema for Xavier's mutants to take on the mighty Avengers. If so, there would only be one battle that everyone would be talking about - Hulk vs Wolverine!

Music To Our Ears: Could John Carpenter Score The New 'Halloween' Film?
Music, maestro, please - that's right, the man responsible to bringing the rubber-faced Michael Myers to our screens, has just peaked his involvement in the long-mooted Halloween franchise reboot. Director-cum-musician John Carpenter could be returning to Halloween to tinkle the ivories, nearly 38 after its original release.

One Book's Tragic Tale Of A Batman Animator's 'Dark Night'!
The year is 1993 and acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series is making waves in the animation world, but how many of you have heard of Paul Dini? Something of a big deal in the early '90s, the DC animator was not only a driving force behind the Emmy-Award-winning show, but a co-creator of Harley Quinn. Arguably without Dini, the Batman world would have missed out on some serious history and Margot Robbie would be short on at least one major film role. Dini was living a life not dissimilar to that of Bruce Wayne - fast cars, fast women, and buying anything he wanted. It was one tragic night in 1993 that the animator's life changed forever. When walking home, Dini came under attack from two men; the animator was mugged and had his skull partially fractured, as well as 'powdered'. Whilst recovering from his injuries, Dini dived deeper into the Batman world than any of us should ever go - this is that story!

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Refuses To Say 'Bat's All' To Thomas Wayne And The DCEU!
Not content with life as Watchmen's Comedian, or his blink-and-you'll-miss-it role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it looks like Jeffrey Dean Morgan wants to once again return to the world of superheroes. Jeffrey is certainly no stranger to dark comic book adaptations, but could The Walking Dead actor be the next man to slip on the cape and cowl of the Dark Knight? Don't worry, Ben Affleck isn't going anywhere yet, but Dean Morgan has expressed interest in reprising his role as Thomas Wayne if there were ever a Flashpoint movie!

'Game of Thrones' Actor Addresses The Rickon Issue From "Battle Of The Bastards"!
Wowzers, Game of Thrones superb ninth episode from Season 6 certainly managed to live up to its hype. Whilst some are hailing it as the best episode ever, there was one slight issue that we had with the series's latest outing. Snow and co. may have employed some clever military tactics, but if only someone had taught poor Rickon Stark the basics on arrow avoidance! Fair to say, Twitter has lost its s**t!
