Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is already doing the rounds, and Marvel’s latest Captain America movie entitled Civil War is due out in mere days (or weeks, depending on where you live).

Balls To The Wall: Everything We Know About Amanda Waller In 'Suicide Squad'!
Dubbed as 'The Expendables' of comic books, hype is high for Zack Snyder's upcoming Suicide Squad outing. As Margot Robbie, Will Smith and Jai Courtney prepare to contend with Ben Affleck and Jared Leto, will we be cheering for the heroes or the villains? Well, one person we definitely won't be rooing for is Viola Davis's Amanda 'The Wall' Waller. As the woman in charge of Task Force X, a.k.a. the Suicide Squad, Waller has had many a run in with the Caped Crusader and the Clown Prince of Crime in her 30 years of service. We all know you have to have some pretty big cajones to take on both Joker and Batman at the same time, and it a job we wouldn't wish upon anyone. As the self-proclaimed leader of the Suicide Squad, Waller has lead the current incarnations of the squad since "Legends #1" in 1986. Viola Davis will be the latest to put on a frumpy pantsuit for Dr. Amanda Waller's next big screen outing in this year's Suicide Squad. It is time to bring on the Wall!

Why The New 'Lord Of The Rings' TV Show Should Be Less Like The Movies, And More Like 'Game Of Thrones'
Amazon has announced that it's bought the rights to Lord of the Rings and plans to adapt Tolkien's trilogy into a TV series. The response has been a bit mixed, though, some fans are excited by the prospect, while others are adamant that Peter Jackson's epic three movies are definitive and beyond improvement. As a fan of the books, I was disappointed by the movies and think we should give the TV show a chance.

Epic 'Game Of Thrones' Theory Points To Jon Snow's Very Own 'Star Wars' Backstory!
It appears you can't go anywhere in Game of Thrones without bumping into someone you know. There may be Seven Kingdoms, but even that doesn't guarantee you won't be brothel-kidnapped by Jorah Mormont, or running straight into the Hound. In a web of families and dynasties (even incest), someone is always going to be related to someone, with the long mooted R + L = J being proof. The Season 6 finale will undoubtedly bring consequences in the next season as Jon Snow discovers his Targaryen heritage, but enough about him! This season once again picked up the story of Jon's half-brother/cousin Bran Stark, who ultimately discovered Jon's secret lineage through his time travel-visions. Whilst Bran may no longer be as closely related to Jon Snow as we first thought, could the newly anointed King in the North be related to someone else in Camp Bran?

Madagascar - Making Swearing Children Friendly
Madagascar is without doubt one of the most popular and well loved children's films produced by Dreamworks Studios. The film follows the lives of Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Gloria the hippo and Melman the giraffe. When Marty escapes New York zoo, things begin to get chaotic when the other three go after him across the city that never sleeps. Before they know it, the four of them are being shipped off to the small island 'Madagascar'. But when an argument breaks out, things get rough and the boxes they're locked up in, go overboard the boat and all float in different directions. The same morning, they all wash up on the same beach in 'The Wild', which is where Marty wanted to go all along. With Alex and Marty being best friends, they had never been so happy to see each other, even though it had only been one night.
