Let's Ride The Nostalgia Train: 10 Classic Games You Forgot That You Loved
Back in the mid '90s, gaming was going through a growth spurt, if you will, as we were slowly being introduced into what was deemed 'the next generation' of gaming. At the time, we probably thought that there was no way it could get any better than our Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and even the NeoGeo consoles (We were so wrong, but that's for a different article). The gaming world in the mid '90s was populated by gamers in awe of the rapid transition from 16Bit gaming to 32Bit and eventually to 64Bit.

Black Widow: I'll Bet You Didn't Know These 8 Things About The Soviet Super Spy
Okay, so Black Widow is one of those characters that not many people actually know much about, at least they didn't before she appeared in Iron Man 2 opposite Robert Downey Jr. Since then she's become a staple of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it doesn't look to stop any time soon.

Could Judge Dredd Be Heading For THIS Streaming Service?
Well, it seems that the streaming craze isn't anywhere near done as nearly everything is showing up on-line. Whether it's Hulu, Netflix, Amazon or any number of other premium streaming services, it sure looks like developing shows for this medium is where everything is heading. And I don't blame studios for shifting that direction, it's a great venue with a truly broad reach and it allows more flexibility than a network station would offer.

Is This What The Future Holds For Gaming Consoles?
If you've been around for more than 10 years, the evolution of the game console isn't anything new. We're so accustomed to it that it's just another part of life and we realize that our once prized possession of a console will inevitably become obsolete. It's a sad truth, but one that we all know too well, yet that doesn't stop us from purchasing the latest and greatest consoles. I can say that over the years I've owned quite a few of the, at the time, latest consoles and I've never been 'brand-locked' like some players. I've owned systems from Nintendo, Microsoft, Sega and Sony, I even did a flashback in my mid-teens when I found an Atari for sale from an old lady who was getting rid of "all her deatbeat son's shit", her words NOT mine.

Oh How These 10 Child Stars Have Grown!
Hollywood can be a tough business for child actors. Growing up in the bright lights and surrounded by adoring fans can take a toll on a child. Some embrace it and grow into fully fledged stars, while others crumble under the pressure and are completely different now. Whatever the circumstances, I'm sure you probably remember a few of these young actors.

4 Reasons Why "Everybody Wants Some" Is The Comedy You Need To See
Over the last few decades comedy movies in general have always been met with fairly consistent success. Everybody wants to be able to laugh, and watch a light-hearted story unfold. Whether its an action comedy like 21 Jump Street, Rush Hour or Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Or its a dramatic comedy like The Breakfast Club, 500 Days of Summer or Love Actually. Or even a spoof comedy like Spaceballs, Scary Movie or Austin Powers. Whatever your preference of comedy, there's a deeper connection that draws us to these sort of movies: the laughs. We all want to laugh and most comedy movies either draw out the laughs because of the obvious jokes or ridiculous situations. Sometimes the laughs are brought out because of the similarity to our own personal stories, yet there are some films that do it so naturally that we don't even realize we're laughing until our sides ache. Everybody Wants Some is a movie in the latter of that list, it brings out laughter when you don't expect it and shines brightly as potentially one of the best comedies of the year. Here are 4 reasons why it's a film that you need to see.

'The Dark Tower' Is Rising Just Over The Horizon
For fans of Stephen King's The Dark Tower novel series, myself included, we've been waiting anxiously for our beloved books to become major motion picture films. Over the years there have been several rumors destroyed and hopes dashed, and with each failure there were little pieces of our souls that died along with them. Well, maybe that's an over-exaggeration, but you get the idea.

What's Really Going On With The Suicide Squad?
If you haven't seen the latest Suicide Squad trailer yet, then please stop reading and watch this. Okay, now that you've seen the most recent and most definitely glorious Suicide Squad trailer, hopefully you're as geeked about it as I am. From day one, Suicide Squad has promised to be an unorthodox film and a sure-fire, roller-coaster ride. It truly appears to be setting itself up to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, hits of the year, most likely being on par with Captain America: Civil War. Some may say that's a big assumption, but so far I've seen nothing that warrants anything but the highest hopes for Suicide Squad.

6 Streaming Shows That Have Redefined Mainstream Entertainment
Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Apple TV - you know the names, and odds are that you probably subscribe to at least one of these outlets. Streaming has become the new normal for countless individuals, often taking precedence over the standard cable television outlets across the country. Now, I'm not saying that Network and Cable television is a thing of the past because they aren't relevant, but what I am saying is that entertainment has evolved because of the popularity of streaming services. Cable networks have even begun changing HOW they do television because of how services like Netflix and Amazon have drastically changed what viewers expect to be able to see.
