There has been so much news coming out of San Diego Comic-Con that it can get a little hard to keep up. What it seems like most people are eager to learn about this year, though? Movies, movies, movies. After the bombshell of an announcement from Warner Bros. that Batman will be in the next
So even though everyone here pretty much hates The Walking Dead, I can’t argue that it has produced at least two good things: 1 – the 16 episode season; 2 – Talking Dead. Now, while not personally being a fan of The Walking Dead series, the idea of a panel after it to talk about
Friday afternoon we introduced our MiddleEasy ‘Send us News’ system (located on the right side of this page), and after culling through more than a handful of submissions, we’re writing our first official article conceived by a MiddleEasy reader. Actually, we’re sort of writing about how much we don’t want to write about their idea.
There you have it, folks – Batman is going to be in the next Superman movie. There were rumors and whispers all over social media throughout the morning, so the announcement that the Dark Knight would be in the Man of Steel sequel wasn’t really a surprise, as much as it was a confirmation. What
My mom gave birth to me at a young age, so she thought it would be a good idea to name me after her favorite actor. Alas, that actor was Nicolas Cage, and while he has had many great roles, he’s also been part of a lot of really terrible movies. Every once in a
I have a confession to make, The Sopranos really messed my TV watching ability. It was the first drama that I watched and it was almost the last. The problem about Sopranos was that it was almost too good that any other drama I watched after just paled in comparison. See, I wanted to like
I’ve never been a fan of musical films. I like music and I like movies, but there’s just something about them that I can’t get behind. ‘South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut’ was pretty great, but that’s probably the only one I really enjoy. I don’t even think I’ve ever watched a musical film all
The Tour De France is one of those things that I’m not sure that I could ever get into. It’s nothing against the athletes or the whole sport itself, but racing of any kind just doesn’t do much for me. Not like Gary LaPlante, who loves his NASCAR and will start a fight with you
Many people think The Amazing Spider-Man was completely unnecessary since it came so quickly after Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, and didn’t do a lot to expand on his origin. It’s a valid point, but Marc Webb really nailed the character with his adaptation. Raimi’s Spider-Man movies were great movies, but they never really felt like
Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. It’s undeniable. Their music transcends time and is adored by generations of fans young and old. Many would attribute their success to guitarist and producer Jimmy Page, who’s written some of the most memorable guitar riffs of all time. Stairway to Heaven is
If you’re not Generation Y, then you wouldn’t even begin to understand how Image literally ran the comic book game from its inception in 1992 to about 1996 when the company partially broke-up. In the early 90s, Todd McFarlane and a few other Marvel illustrators were fed up with the business practices of Marvel Comics
Before he was an actor, Steve Buscemi was a firefighter in New York. Yeah, that Steve Buscemi. Can you imagine Mr. Pink carrying you out of a burning building? Me neither. Funny, since every character he’s portrayed on film has been completely believable. If he ever played a firefighter in a movie it’d make it
If you didn’t read Calvin and Hobbes as a child then you probably suffer from a multitude of psychological disorders ranging from depression to schizophrenia. Growing up without the influence of Spaceman Spiff can be a detriment to the development of one’s cognitive abilities. It’s not proven, but we here at MiddleEasy like to believe
With Marvel Studios ramping up for Comic-Con by unveiling new posters for both “Thor: The Dark World” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” I’m finding it hard to not to focus on what both films eventually lead to —“The Avengers 2.” Apparently fans aren’t the only one’s salivating for the upcoming super movie, because with
The pairing of the words “Japanese” and “remake” is nothing all that new. For years we’ve been lifting plot points, settings and entire scripts from Japan, and rebranding them as American. We remade Infernal Affairs into The Departed. We took The Seven Samurai and made it The Magnificent Seven. We turned Battle Royale into the
Paul Heyman was a man I loved as a child, watching wrestling growing up. He just had such a commanding presence. Even if he wasn’t the center of attention, he demanded your eyeballs be glued to the TV screen. So when he returned to the WWE, I couldn’t have been happier. When he united with
