Sharpen Those Claws: How Many Times Has Wolverine Killed On Film?
The indestructible man with the adamantium claws, our comic book Wolverine, has killed everyone, from the X-Men to his own son. For the past 16 years we have watched Hugh Jackman bring Wolverine to life in every one of the X-Men films — so how does the live-action carnage live up to his comic book counterpart? We all know that Jackman's Wolverine is a lethal weapon — he's freaking Weapon X, for Pete's sake — but renowned kill count YouTuber Mr Sunday Movies has tallied how many times our metal-clawed friend has brought home a kill, courtesy of the Wolverscreen.

Winter Is Coming (Again): Ranking The Episodes From Game Of Thrones Season Five
The wait is finally over as Game of Thrones Season Six returns to our screens. It has been nearly a year since we waved goodbye to Westeros and Season Five's mixed bag of episodes. Some saw last season as the best and some saw it as the worst, but what questions lead us into Season Six? Will Reek still reek this season? How does Varys stop his head getting sunburnt in the Meereen sun? Will Jorah Mormont ever get past first base with Daenerys Targaryen? Whilst we ponder the return of Jon Snow/Stark it is time to rank the episodes of Season Five and have a binge on yesteryear.

Famed author Chuck Palahniuk wants to turn another of his gory stories into a big screen hit according to latest reports. His 2002 novel Lullaby is the latest of his works set for a theatrical adaptation through a Kickstarter campaign. The project is the brainchild of Josh Leake, who is looking for a modest start of $250,000 - whilst this may seem like your standard Kickstarter, it isn't!

Jeff Goldblum Open To 'Jurassic World 2'
"Life, err, finds a way." Last year's Jurassic World was a near perfect addition to Steven Spielberg’s dinosaur legacy and had just the right number of nods to the Richard Hammond era of Isla Nublar. However, one thing was noticeably absent, docking points from Jurassic World as the best dinosaur movie ever (move over The Flintstones): the bare naked chest of Jeff Goldblum!

'Game of Thrones' Character's Death FINALLY Confirmed!
In all the Jon Snow hype, we may have forgotten some of the less memorable fallen heroes of Westeros. No we don't mean Benjen Stark or the Hound - whose fates are still (technically) unconfirmed. Until we see some season 6 gravestones...I ain't buying it! But for this death we are going WAAAAAAY back to King's Landing and Season One of the show. The latest person to officially bite the dust in the world of HBO's Game of Thrones is Arya Stark's sword swinging mentor Syrio Forel.

This Video Finally Explains Those Infamous Polar Bears From 'LOST'.
It really has been six years since we waved goodbye to J.J. Abrams's island adventure. For six seasons and 121 episodes we followed the rag-tag bunch of survivors who were marooned on a Hawaiian island alongside polar bears, smoke monsters and even time travel. Some episodes seemed as if they were plucked directly from The Twilight Zone, and soon after the show first aired, we realised this was no Tom Hanks Castaway. For those who stayed the course, the final episode "The End" was met with mixed reviews (we know some of you hated it), leaving most of us scratching our heads after a bittersweet payoff. We assumed that those burning questions left after Season 6 ended would never be answered - but fear not though, Abrams had one more trick up his sleeve. A twelve-minute epilogue, "The New Man in Charge", was released on August 24, 2010 on the Complete Sixth Season DVD and the Complete Collection boxset. As with most of these things *cough* Game of Thrones *cough* it was leaked online early. Reuniting Michael Emerson, Jorge Garcia and Malcolm David Kelley, does "The New Man in Charge" still leave you feeling 'lost'?

Is Bradley Cooper The Latest Star To Join 'American Horror Story'?
With only a few months until Season 6 of FX's hit show American Horror Story steps onto our screens and into our nightmares, details of old faces, new faces and plot are still pretty thin on the ground. However, could a recent dinner with Horror Story actress Lady Gaga point to the involvement of a certain Mr. Bradley Cooper? Could it be the time for Rocket Racoon to join the "bloody" impressive cast-list of everyone's favorite gory story.

How The Greatest X-Men Cartoon Just Got Even Greater!
Grab yourself an Ellen Page and get your consciousness transferred back to 1992, it is time to revisit X-Men: The Animated Series - but not as we know it! We all know that the next X-Men film will be taking us to the '90s, a time of Spice Girls, Clinton and those Wolverine ice creams (they existed!). 1992 wasn't just the year that Barney & Friends started, it is when X-Men: TAS started. As Marvel's longest running cartoon, it still only ran for 76 episodes, but had us instantly hooked with its bright colours and catchy titles.
