Have you ever heard a song in a movie or TV show that’s so good that it inspires your muses? I’m one of those people who listens to music when she writes, and many of those songs come from a movie or TV show that slips in a tune that I have to listen to on repeat. A recent gem on the list is from the second season of Invincible from singer-songwriter d4vd. “Feel It” is peak writing fuel for my muses, so I was thrilled to learn that d4vd is also someone who’s inspired by the media around him. “I wrote songs like ‘Here With Me’ after watching the Disney movie Up ,” he said in our interview, and boy, does that add a Lot of context to that song. d4vd is also a huge anime fan, as seen when watching his videos. Besides...

‘I Want to Eat your Pancreas’ was released in 2018 and is based on the homotitled manga of Yoru Sumino. It’s a dramatic/ coming-of-age film which narrates the story of two completely different people who’re seeking happiness and completeness.

Last year, the world had a hell of a time cheering for Matt Damon to get home from Mars in the Ridley Scott film, The Martian. Now, it's time to get ready for a different type of Martian flick, one that's not as based on human ingenuity as it is based on human emotion.
The Space Between Us poses many questions, though the chief among them is largely a sociological and developmental one: what would happen if a boy grew up on Mars and came back to Earth as a teenager?
Check out the official trailer for The Space Between Us below!
"In this interplanetary adventure, a space shuttle embarks on the first mission to colonize Mars, only to discover after takeoff that one of the astronauts is pregnant. Shortly after landing, she dies from complications while giving birth to the first human born on the red planet – never revealing who the father is.

Horror movies can be scary enough as they are. Just the ideas planted in the minds of viewers is often enough to get the imagination going. However, it's always a bit more scary when you know that the film is based on true events. This is especially true of the Conjuring films, which are based on the actual cases of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.
As such, the studio has a unique opportunity in that they have actual files and recordings from the incidents they are drawing from. They took advantage, and thrown together a bit of audio recording from the events chronicled in the upcoming film, The Conjuring 2

While much is being said about Black Panther and how great it is to see a black character leading a superhero film, we can't forget that Wesley Snipes trail-blazed this territory with the Blade trilogy way back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Sure, comic book movies may not have been the cash cows they are now, but it was certainly great for its time.
Since Blade's introduction to the big screen, it's had two sequels (Blade II and Blade: Trinity) and a single season of a Spike TV series (which, interestingly enough was created by David S. Goyer and Geoff Johns). As good of a run the character made in its on-screen iterations, they were iterations that occurred before the current golden age of superhero movies we live in now.
Recently, there have been rumors of Blade making a return with a Netflix original series, á la Daredevil,...

The X-men franchise certainly got off to a pretty strong start. The first movie was understandably mainstream in its appeal, with a great focus on the mutant struggle. The second one amped things up, adding more credibility to the comic book movie genre as a whole. To some, X-2: X-men United holds up as one of the superior entries in the franchise. The decline in quality didn't come until X-men: The Last Stand, the third film in the franchise.
Unlike the first two movies, The Last Stand wasn't directed by Bryan Singer. Singer instead left the X-men to tackle Superman Returns, another picture that seemed to underwhelm the target fan base. The film was rushed to completion, with director Brett Ratner brought on board to helm the picture, and the results were a bit messy, to say the least. Ever since then, fans have always been left to wonder:...

Last Friday, it was announced that Karl Urban would be making their way over the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the form of the Marvel baddie Skurge the Executioner. While Urban is no stranger to genre films (he tore up the screen in Dredd, and a trailer just came out for his latest film, Star Trek Beyond), there is something a bit interesting about him making his way over to the superhero film genre.
In a recent interview with IGN, the actor explained how he got involved with Marvel and ended up in the film, and also gave us an oh-so-minor comments on the character he will be playing.
“I read a fantastic script that was action-packed and full of great characters. When I heard who was involved -- and the cast list dropped yesterday -- and [saw] the opportunity to work with [Thor: Ragnarok director] Taika Waititi, who I think is one of the most brilliant directors coming through,...

Fun fact: today is Brother's Day (which I'm sure is a real holiday), and as such, the marketing folks over at Fox have thought it the perfect occasion to celebrate with a video from actors Adam Devin and Zac Efron. In the video, the pair, who play the Stangle brothers in the upcoming Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates.
The book they read from is a "children's" book entitled "Where Do Brothers Come From?"
In case you haven't had your fill of Zac Efron and his comedic chops with last weekend's Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, don't you worry, his abs and biceps will be eagerly waiting you in Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates.
The film follows two brothers, Mike and Dave Stangle, who need to get classy wedding dates for their sister's wedding, in hopes that they'll rein them in from usual party-heavy shenanigans. The only problem is the...

There is a definite trend in the marketing of animated films. First they tend to have a trailer that gives very little away in terms of plot, character, or motivations, and focuses solely on the jokes meant to get kids in the theaters. Earlier this year, with the release of the first Sing trailer, that's exactly what we got. A bunch of one-off jokes and pop culture references. Given the trend, I'm usually not one to judge so harshly early on. It's usually the second trailer that has more weight to it.
This is exactly the case with Sing. With its second trailer, we get into the motivations of the characters, and the struggles they face. While the jokes from the first trailer are mostly here, this particular trailer does a much better job at getting me to care about what's going on, and given that, I certainly hope the film delivers on that front.

Gasp! I know what you're thinking. Deadpool's already been released, so why bother releasing a promo clip for the film? Well, not everyone in the world has been as fortunate as us. While the Merc with a Mouth cursed his way onto U.S. screens last Valentine's Day, he'll only be making his way to the Land of the Rising Sun on June 1, 2016.
As such, Ryan Reynolds and their stellar marketing team did what they did best -- released another funny promo clip for the movie.
Check it out below!

The filmmaking process is an unpredictable and malleable one. A director may have a vision, but at the end of the day, that vision may interfere with the actual story they're trying to tell. As such, there are often times when either full scenes or even subplots are left on the cutting room floor. We seemed to have witnessed that pretty recently with this year's Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, which had its original cut of over three hours reduced to two and a half hours, but perhaps one of the best examples in the past few years comes from 2014's X-men: Days Of Future Past.
In that film, the entire subplot of Rogue was unceremoniously axed from the theatrical version. All in all, the movie worked, but it did seem a bit strange to see a character that had once been so prominent reduced to a few lines and appearances.

We’ve now seen a couple of instances of filmmakers wanting to take an anime show and turn it into a live-action movie, and every time it has been a flop. The obvious examples are of course The Last Airbender and Dragonball Evolution. However, what if people did these adaptations right? We picked some of our favorite anime shows that could potentially pull off the live-action treatment.
Supernatural GenreYu Yu Hakusho
The Story: Yu Yu Hakusho is an anime from the '90s about Spirit Detective Yusuke Urameshi. Yusuke goes around with his friends fighting off demons to save the world. This could be adapted really well into a live-action movie using the Saint Beast story arc. We’d start off with Yusuke, already having his powers, receiving the call to Maze Castle, where the four Saint Beasts reside. Yusuke and supporting characters Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama would, of course,...
