From 'Batman V Superman' To 'Iron Fist:' Do Film Critics Matter?
Here we go again! Last year, fans and critics were divided over Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which scored a horrific 27% on Rotten Tomatoes. After Suicide Squad endured a similar reception, fans even launched a petition to shut the site down, a fact that's pretty ironic given how Warner Bros. own a 30% share in Rotten Tomatoes.

A few weeks ago, Marvel Studios got caught up in a storm. The issue of #whitewashing has become far more visible in the wake of #OscarsSoWhite trending for the second year in a row, and #Marvel's casting of (white female) Tilda Swinton as the (male Tibetan) Ancient One seemed like a classic case.

Why Emma Becoming the Dark One is the Best Thing for 'Once Upon a Time Season 5'
Every season, Once Upon a Time brings us new villains and stories for us to enjoy. One of the most difficult things for a fan to do, however, is to keep from getting too attached to characters. After all, within a few episodes they will disappear never to be seen or spoken of again.

You might remember makeup and prosthetics effects artist Josef Rarach from my past feature on his steampunk-esque undead creation, the clockwork-covered Zombie King.

Rating the Heroes of 'Captain America: Civil War'
Featuring more superheroes than any Marvel movie before it - albeit with Thor and Hulk as notable absences - Captain America: Civil War is an all-action superhero brawl!
