A Mask From The Past: Michael Myers Won't Be Superhuman In 'Halloween' Reboot
For some 39 years we have seen the mute #MichaelMyers stalk the inhabitants of Haddonfield and beyond. Helping popularize the slasher fever that came in the '80s and cementing the trope of the final girl, Myers and the #Halloween series gave the speechless spectre a name that ranks among the greats like Freddy, Jason, and Ghostface. With 10 films tucked under that pale visage, some of us are asking if we really need to resurrect the king of knife-wielding.

The Zombies Are Dead: Kevin Feige Says The MCU Will Not Make An R-Rated Film
If you are a fan of bullets, breasts, and bastards, you had better look outside of the #MCU to get your fix. #Fox's R-rated #Logan and #Deadpool may have blown critics away and shown that there is definitely an appetite for these #superhero films, but even this isn't enough to persuade MCU overlord #KevinFeige that he should bring an R-rated film to his universe.

Netflix And Chill Out: How I Kept My Long Distance Relationship Alive
Moving abroad can be a struggle for anyone, let alone when you don't speak the language, you're horrible with directions, and you'll be leaving your nearest and dearest behind. Believe me though, relationships can survive that short hop over the ocean and a small plane ride — don't ask me about further away, Berlin to Manchester is only a two-hour flight. Where 2016 has been a year of sadness and death for many, I strived to keep my relationship alive and make the most out of a difficult situation. I don't expect any medals, but I am accepting bouquets of flowers.

Guardians Of The Galaxy To Take Over 'The Tower Of Terror', As Disney's Iconic Ride Gets Shot Into Space!
Next stop, thirteenth floor - The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride is undoubtedly a staple of Disney's catalogue of attractions, even inspiring the company's very first ride-to-film creation.

Remembering LV-426: Where Are The Cast Of 'Aliens' Now?
"Stay away from her you bitch"...erm actually, it is "Get away from her you bitch"! Can you really believe it has been 30 years since James Cameron's Aliens chest-burst into cinemas and gave us one giant face hug? Where as Ridley Scott's seminal horror Alien monopolised "In space no one can hear you scream", 1986 sequel Aliens took the series loudly roaring into the '80s. Quiet suspense and lonesome corridors were swapped with Bill Paxton's hollering, grenade launchers and the introduction of Lance Henricksen's Bishop. Loud, brash, and a curveball of a film, the jury is still out on whether Aliens surpasses its predecessor. News of Neill Blomkamp's proposed fifth Alien film intends on doing away with a messed up timeline and could actually be the sequel to Aliens that we have always hoped for. Whilst we will leave you to chew on that, let's look at what has happened to the cast since they departed LV-426 three decades ago.

Life Without Pokémon GO: A Superfan's Story
I'm not wearing a red and white cap and there is no Pikachu by my side! As the rest of the world went mad for Pokémon GO I had to sit here as the kid who missed out. Until now that is...the day is here - Pokémon GO finally makes it to the U.K. App Store and I can join in sharing 'Oddish' experiences of dead bodies, exposed infidelity and late night Poké- strip clubs. All from this little VR app, "But how does it work" (my grandma would say). Poké-spoilers everywhere, I became out the loop, so I guess it is time to fill up that Pokédex!
