Check It Out: Silver and Black has a Release Month and a Director

By

Sony's mishandling of the Spider-man property continues, as today the troubled studio announced Silver and Black will be the title of their Silver Sable and Black Cat spin-off film.  Silver and Black is going to be directed by: Gina Prince-Bythewood (Secret Life Of Bees, Love And Basketball).  Surprisingly the studio announced an October 2018 release date for the film, the same week that they announced the Tom Hardy Venom film for (October 5th 2018).

Get our thoughts on this latest Sony screwup after the break...

I mean really Sony? Two Spider-Man spin-offs in the same month!  Not only that, you are making your financially struggling franchise compete with itself, I just can't wrap my head around the logic. The rumor is that these films will take place outside of the Tom Holland Spider-Man continuity, prompting even more confusion.  The best thing that Sony could do at this point is be as hands off with this franchise as possible, and collect the paychecks via Mickey Mouse.  If the Studio hasn't got a basic Spider-Man film right since 2004's Spider-Man 2, what could possibly make them think that they can tackle films revolving around Silver Sable, Black Cat, and Venom.

     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....
