The ultimate X-Men ensemble film is here at last, and with so much ridding on it everyone is understandably curious as to how Singer and company were able to handle a massive cast of characters, two separate time lines, developing the stories of the old & new cast while giving the former a proper swan song and the later a new playground to build future movies out of. With so many things to tackle in a little over two hours, many (myself included) expected a repeat of the Amazing Spider-Man 2, what we get instead is one of the most well …

Let’s face it, aging can be frightening, however it creeps into our lives so gradually, we hardly recognize it.  Until that awakening moment we meet each other in the mirror that once reflected that insatiable beauty of our youth.  During our youth, we may be unable to detect the envy of those older than us, of our fearless outtake on life.   In this short film, Vienna Waits For You, directed by Dominik Hartl, may bring to life that what we may perceive, as things that possess our future.  Those possessions that reoccur in our lives, in which others may …

The first time I saw the trailer for Brick Mansions, my initial reaction was “Hey, Paul Walker made a movie that totally rips off District B-13!”  If you’ve never seen District B-13, it’s a French film directed by Luc Besson (Fifth Element) that features the king of parkour David Belle doing what he does best.  Since the film debuted in 2004, Belle has gone on to choreograph parkour in several major films including The Prince of Persia, Transporter 2 and Columbiana.

District B-13 is a bit weak storywise but of course, that’s not important …

There were some rumors running about regarding casting for Episode 7, that they were looking for someone really tall, like over 7 feet. Now the Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Peter Mayhew, the actor who played Chewbacca in four of the Star Wars films, including the original three, will be playing Chewie again in the upcoming Disney sequel.

So far, of all the original chracters, only Chewbacca and R2-D2 have been confirmed. There is speculation that Luke, Leia and Han will return but no word as of yet. The only other cast member that has come close to being confirmed is …

Catastrophe, it is in the eye of the beholder.  Prevention is the key, I use the term prevention, loosely.  The key that may lock our doorway to any outside world other than our own.  This door can lead to much misconception.  Which inevitably, brings one to the endless circle of things I have previously discussed and brought to point in my last few reviews.  However we see ourselves, living these messy, complicated and obsessed lives, our frail attempts at controlling them.  We figure out that our safety and securities are often displayed thru a fish bowl for the world to see.  …

NS – When did you first get into cosplaying?:

FAHR – I made some closet cosplays, but the first was in 2011 as Charles Xavier from X-Men: First Class. The first real one was Loki in 2012.

NS – What are your favorite characters to dress as?

FAHR – Loki, hands down. He is the best! he is so special to me, I could never think of a day without caring about his agenda, his whole character and meaning. I love to portray him, even if I wish I could do more versions of him.

NS – Which Cons do …

Shows about families have been a staple of mainstream TV almost since its inception.  But there was never a television clan quite like the Addams Family.  The series ran for two seasons (1964-66) on the ABC network.  Despite this short duration, it became a cult classic which spawned two theatrical films, a cartoon series, several TV specials, and a 2007 musical production.

Creator Charles Addams was a cartoonist who drew the original characters for the New Yorker magazine. Their first appearance was way back in 1938.  The basic family structure was there from the start: an unsmiling European-style couple who dressed …
