Perfection. https://gizmodo.com/masters-of-the-universe-recut-into-the-force-awakens-tr-1753455123 Jonny Holloway, a UK screenwriter and filmmaker has gone and taken Harry Potter…

This Acapella Version of the Daredevil Theme is Awesome

When Netflix’s Daredevil first appeared last year, one of the things that stood out was its striking opening credits and theme song. Now, The Warp Zone has gone and put together their own version of the theme, acapella-style. I really love the opening credits for the show: the music and the animation are both stellar,…

Steven Spielberg Didn’t Have to Look Far for His Indiana Jones 5 Writer

Besides the name “George Lucas,” the biggest omission from the announcement of a fifth Indiana Jones film was the writer. It didn’t take long for director Steven Spielberg to land on someone: David Koepp, who wrote Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, will be responsible for bringing Indy back one more time. The Hollywood Reporter broke…

How the Hell Has Sleepy Hollow Gotten Even Worse?

The Sleepy Hollow TV series has always been rather shocking. First we were shocked that someone would set this spooky 18th century story in the-day. Then we were shocked when the first season turned out to be fantastic. We were shocked yet again when the show suddenly turned terrible in its sophomore season. And now…

The Future Looks Bright For Donut Fans in This Funny George Orwell Homage

Set a century after George Orwell’s chilling portrait of a dystopian future, scifi short 2084 works perfectly thanks to the twin powers of simplicity (it was filmed in director Taz Goldstein’s living room) and hilarity (the “annoyed computer voice” has seldom been so well-executed). Also, and you’ve been warned, 2084 will really make you crave…

The Divergent Series Is the Ultimate Teen Dystopian Sugar Rush

Divergent and its sequels don’t make a whole lot of sense—but what they do have is a blend of wish-fulfillment, anarchic WTFery and actual social commentary that amounts to the Platonic ideal of “dystopia as cotton candy.” You will be in a sugar coma at the end of this film, but the sacrifice of your…
