R.I.P:Phillip Seymour Hoffman (UPDATED)

By
Phillip Seymour Hoffman, dead at the age of 46!

    The man a generation of Batman fans dreamed of portraying The Penguin, was found dead earlier today.  Sadly we will never see Hoffman portray Oswald Cobblepot on screen due to a heroin overdose earlier this morning at his Manhattan apartment.  Our reference to Hoffman always being linked to Penguin rumors is meant in no way to demean the Academy Award winning actor's career who dazzled as Capote and gave a performance to rival even the best of Bond villains as Owen Davian in Mission Impossible 3.  However sometimes the saddest part of a legend passing is pondering what they will never get to accomplish.  Most recently Hoffman portrayed Plutarch Heavensbee in the Hunger Games film series, the actor is said to have finished all shooting for The Hungers Games: Mocking Jay Part 1 due out November 21st.  As far as Mocking Jay Part 2 out November 20th 2015, Hoffman apparently Hoffman had seven days left of shooting and it is unclear how Director Francis Lawrence will handle this tragic loss.

UPDATED: Lionsgate has officially announced that Hoffman's tragic passing will in no way affect the Release dates of the last two Hunger Games film, and his role of Plutarch Heavensbee will not be recast or cut from the film!

     As Skeletor said in the 1987 film Masters of the Universe , "Everything comes to he who waits, and I have waited so very long for this moment." Yes, after one year of preorders, waiting, concepts and preproduction pieces, constant changes, small victories, crushing defeats, and sheer anticipation, Castle Grayskull has finally arrived to my home. Earlier this afternoon my wife texted me a picture of the enormous box sitting in our kitchen and I've been jazzed ever since. Heck, I've been singing the Castle Grayskull song all week now to help myself pass the time. Before I even open the box, I have to say that while there have been plenty of ups and downs on the journey from having Castle Grayskull exist simply as a sketch on paper to existing as an actual product delivered to my door, I think there are some folks that need to be commended. First, regardless of all other issues I don't think anyone can say that Scott Neitlich ("ToyGuru") and the Fo

The Night He Came Home Again! - A 'Halloween 2018' Review

By

When we first learned that Director: David Gordon Green would be talking over the iconic Halloween franchise, my thoughts could best be described as skeptical at best.  How was the guy that brought us Pineapple Express going to bring Michael Myers home again? Also where did Danny McrBride fit it in? Would Blumhouse and Green do the un-thinkable by allowing McBride to dawn the mask, and having the world famous physical comedian wield who knows what as his weapon of choice? Find out the answer to these, and many other questions after the break in our Halloween review....
