Hannibal (2001) Turns 15 - How It Was Supposed To End
In 1991 the world of cinema was gifted Silence of the Lambs - a silver screen adaptation of the 1988 Thomas Harris Novel. Ten years later on 9 February 2001 'Fannibals' picked up their knives and forks ready to devour the sequel Hannibal. Now 15 years on we examine why Silence was entered into the National Film Registry whilst Hannibal is a maligned and often forgotten gem. Harris's novels have brought to us one of the world's most formidable villains, so how did Hannibal's translation slip so unfavourably from its pages? Whilst easily one of my favourite films of all time, Hannibal (2001) is flawed and here is one particular reason why... a VERY different ending that is just a little too hard to swallow.

Original 'Death Note' Creators Reportedly Loved the Netflix Adaptation
The American adaptation of Death Note has long been the object of much public ire. Since its announcement in 2009, and Nat Wolff’s controversial casting as Light in 2015, the project has been plagued with numerous production problems — constantly changing directors, the persistent whitewashing of otherwise Asian roles, the massive delays (in production and casting), and every astronomical revision made to the characters and the plot. With only a few weeks left until release, the film seems doomed for critical and box office failure.

Toy Story Turns 20 - Ranking the Series
To infinity and beyond! It is hard to believe that it is 20 years since we opened the door to Andy's bedroom and stepped inside, meeting the cast of the 1995 hit Toy Story. Spawning a multi billion dollar franchise, two sequels, three shorts and two TV specials. Buzz Lightyear and Woody show no signs of being packed away into the attic any time soon, so we couldn't be happier. Now let's start off by stating that none of the Toy Story films or their spin-offs are bad, it is just that some are better than others. Here's Woody's Roundup of which Toy Story is coming to college with you and which is going on eBay.

The Original ‘Back to the Future’ Screenplay Confirms George McFly Did Know About Marty’s Time Traveling
In a deleted scene at the very end of Back to the Future we find Marty’s father, George, in 1985, at his desk looking through a digital scrapbook created by Dr. Emmett Brown. He plugs it in and stops at a page showing a 1955 newspaper clipping with the headline, “Police Quell Near Riot At School Dance.” It shows a photograph of Marty on stage, rocking out to Chuck Berry’s "Johnny B. Goode" and, originally, Bill Haley’s "Rock Around The Clock."

Was This Pixar's First Transgendered Character?
Inside Out was easily one of the best and most complex storylines that has come out of Pixar, with lovable characters, relatable issues of growing up, and emotional emotions. But as I was thinking about it afterwards, there is a surprising element that I missed during my first screening. See if you can catch it.

What is Coming to the MCU Phase 4
This is an update to a former theory, and it's coming into clearer view with some of the most recent events of the MCU. With the Infinity War storyline in full swing and Captain America: Civil War coming within the year to a theater near you, my mind has been twirling with the different directions that Marvel could take as these current stories wrap up. As much as I'd love to see the Dark Avengers make their way to the silver screen, I still think that is a ways off (let's wait and see how the third iteration of Spider-man goes, than we can talk); however, The Masters of Evil have been a ragtag team of villains pestering the Avengers for as long as Earth's Mightiest Heroes have been around and with all of the villains present (and kicking, I would add) in the MCU, it would make sense that something would bring the Avengers back together after their Civil War or once Thanos can't take them down, villains may indeed come together--making a team of their own.

Who Will Be Captain Marvel?
With Phase 2 wrapping up this summer, many are looking forward to the MCU's Phase 3 additions with Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in the mix. While we know bits and pieces about Captain America: Civil War (May 2016), and the casting of Spider-man is all the rage right now (due out July 2017), I'm still extremely curious as to who will play the lead in Marvel's first solo female movie, Captain Marvel?

One sure fire way to take someone back to their childhood is to combine two things they love, in this case - Lego and Batman. The Warner Bros. cash cow has done just that with their upcoming LEGO Batman Movie.
