Sony Near, Sony Far: 'Deadpool' Writers Reflect On Their Cancelled 'Venom' Script
2017 brought news of a Venom film crashing to Earth in a meteorite of fandom, and it now looks like #Sony is moving full-steam ahead with the plans. Shooting is set to start as early as autumn this year with a 2018 release, so there isn't much time for the symbiote to suit up. The character has been in our lives since the mid-'80s, and has had several scrapped plans for a solo-outings, but it is unknown how much (if any) of the previous ideas scriptwriters Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner will incorporate into the alien anti-hero's next live-action outing.

Does Hollywood Really "Ruin Childhoods?"
We live in a world where our childhood loves come to life on the big screen. Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and soon the Power Rangers. While these movies are hit with much backlash, one thing remains the same.

Alicia Vikander Brings New Life to the Tomb Raider Reboot
It took a while for all the pieces to fall into place with the upcoming #TombRaider film, and many fans were concerned with the slow progress of the anticipated reboot.

Along Came A Spider-Man: Who Should Play Eddie Brock In Sony's 'Venom' Film?
Talk about going from nought to sixty before you can say alien symbiote. The surprise announcement that Sony has scheduled a Venom standalone for 2018 has knocked the #comicbook universe flying. The outer space stranger will be finally getting his much-deserved screentime after a lackluster appearance in Spider-Man 3 back in 2007. Topher Grace's maligned performance was one of the worst in the Spideyverse (and that is saying something), and while all plans for any form of #Venom spin-off were blasted back into space where they belonged following the collapse of the Andrew Garfield era of films.

8 Cinematic Road Trips Worth Taking
When watching a movie, we go on a journey. Granted, it might just be a metaphorical one and only last an hour or two, but it's nevertheless a real and emotional experience. Now, it is perhaps for that reason why I've come to view road movies as something of an ideal film genre. Simply put, what better way to invite the viewer on that metaphorical journey than by putting the film's characters through an actual one? So, whether they aim to make us think or simply entertain, let's celebrate the simple brilliance of the road movie sub genre by taking a look at eight excellent cinematic road trips.

Celebrating The 6 Most Lethal Ladies In The James Bond Franchise
The Bond franchise has had its fair share of critics regarding the way it has approached some of its female characters. Yet, as the years have passed, even the harshest ones will have to admit that, for a series revolving around (as Judi Dench's M once so elegantly put it) "a sexist misogynist dinosaur, Bond has certainly been paired up with a fair amount of more than capable female allies during his missions.

Why The Infamous 'Best Picture Fail' Was Actually A Great Moment For The Oscars
Safe to say that the most talked about Oscars 2017 moment — falsely announcing the winner of the year's biggest film award, and then having that mistakenly proclaimed winner find out about it mid-victory speech — will not go down as the proudest moment in the history of the Academy Awards. Rather obviously, it caused a major heartbreak for one group of people (the amazing cast and crew of La La Land) and partially spoiled a special moment for other (the equally amazing cast and crew of Moonlight).

The Story Must Walk On: 3 Crucial Challenges In Making a Great Sequel
A good story deserves to be continued. Or perhaps it deserves to be left alone. Whatever one's opinion on the matter, it's safe to say that in nowadays film industry, it will most likely be continued in form of a sequel. And, well, it's not such a bad thing, since we have gotten many worthy continuations of some beloved stories thanks to it. However, needless to say that it has also delivered a fair share of misguided attempts to cash in on a known property, highlighting just how full of perils a quest to make a worthy sequel can be.

Exploring The Video Game Movie Curse With 'Assassin's Creed'
In retrospect, one should have seen it coming. I mean, Assassin's Creed was a video game movie after all, and therefore, destined to fail (as it did not quite get the best response from critics, fans of the franchise or at the box office). Yet, with all the potential it boasted — from its talented cast and crew, to the rich source material of this truly awesome game franchise — many were genuinely hoping that this one was finally going to lift the curse of sub-par video game movies and offer something memorable.
