  • https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/chris-evans-returning-to-marvel-1236082100/ I feel that the MCU is taking it too safe with these movies. They could ruin what were actually strong endings for a number of these characters. Alter…

  • After watching the Cleaner trailer, I wish even more that Daisy Ridley would join Bond. However, I'm still happy that she has a big future in Star Wars (provided that Rey is written better). Dirty Angels makes me happy that Eva Green was in Bond at …

  • Yep, The Great Circle is a day one purchase for me, for PS5. Troy Baker REALLY nailed copying Harrison Ford. It sounds like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg DEFINITELY had some ideas that were used. They're gamers, we can trust them in more ways th…
