It starts as an interest, then you're a fan, now you're a geek.
A lot has already been said about the new Ninja Turtles movie that's set for release on August 8th. A lot of people hate the way the turtles look for this Michael Bay film, personally I'm not a fan but trying to remain optimistic. In this latest trailer, we get a bigger glimpse into the storyline and plot for the film, and it does give me some hope that it will be more entertaining than Transformers was.
This is all unconfirmed and should be taken strictly as rumor as of right now, but JoBlo.com is reporting some interesting (SPOILERY) details about Wonder Woman's costume and some aspects of Batman/Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor's characters for the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice mega movie.
Since he was cast as Batman/Bruce Wayne for what was originally thought of as the sequel to Man of Steel (but has since become a stand alone film titled Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.) we've been curious as to when Ben Affleck would get his solo film as the Dark Knight. Rumor has it (latino-review.com) that we'll be seeing him return (after a stint in 'Justice League' in May of 2017) to the cape and cowl in 2019 to begin the new franchise of Bat films.
Over the last few months rumors have been swirling around the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film, that Jason Momoa had been cast in an undisclosed role. He's flat out denied it repeatedly, even laughing at the notion that he'd be portraying Aquaman. But today the internet is saying that it's been "confirmed" that the Game of Thrones star has been cast as Aquaman for the 2016 comic book blockbuster.
In what was allegedly going to be released at Comic-Con International, Deadline found, Nikki Finke has posted a listing of some soon to be produced WB films based on DC comic book properties. Again this is all rumor up to this point, with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice being the only one in production as I type.
Inspired by a (hopefully false) crazy rumor that Twilight's very own Robert Pattinson would be taking the whip as the new Indiana Jones, we bring our first Fan Casting. You guys get to weigh in on who you'd cast as the new Indiana Jones. It's entirely up to you. So...let's hear it. Who do you want to see as Indiana Jones in any future installments of the much loved franchise...well it was, until Crystal Skull. Leave your comments below!
Well, even though Marvel has lost their 'Ant-Man' director, its found their 'Doctor Strange' director. Scott Derrickson has been chosen to direct the adaptation to the large screen, ushering Marvel fans into the realm of the supernatural. Sure we've had aliens, and Gods and such, but Doctor Strange is a bit different and promises to bring something new to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He got name dropped in 'Captain America: Winter Soldier' and now we have solid confirmation of his very own stand alone film.

In the past I've been very critical of the X-Men films. I'm close to this franchise, because as a young person it was my first real comic series that I fell in love with. There were the comics, the animated series, and the toys. I loved the X-Men and at a young age I couldn't get enough of them. Then as I got older, they announced the release of the first X-Men film. I could not wait to see it and it was amazing. Then X2 came out and it was even better than the first, but it was downhill from there. X-Men: The Last Stand left a very sour taste in my mouth. And it was all made worse with the release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine even though I finally got to see my favorite mutant, Gambit, hit the big screen. I was given hope, however, when X-Men: First Class came out. I enjoyed it a great deal and couldn't wait for more films with these characters and actors. So, now we have X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Welcome to the first edition of Ongoing. Ongoing will be my comic book review article that I'll post every week, hopefully twice a week in which I'll pick up a book (new or old) and review it to the best of my ability. I'll also take suggestions from you guys as to what I should be reading and reviewing. And this week I read the conclusion to Geoff Johns Forever Evil storyline. Be warned, there will be spoilers in this review.
In case you missed it, the dearly beloved Matt Smith has departed as the Eleventh Doctor. Taking his place is Peter Capaldi and we couldn't be more excited to see what he does with this iconic role. Joining him as his companion is Clara Oswald, played be the lovely and talented Jenna Coleman. This week, BBC One released this little teaser to get our motors running.
A few years ago DC decided to reboot all of their titles. It was a bold move and it did increase sales. It also increased my interest in a lot of books. Along the way they made some big changes, and continue to make changes to this day. They're taking the past and making it new again. Some of us seem to take offense to this. It's a lot like when a movie studio remakes a classic film. The internet is all a flutter with rage and hate when a reboot or remake hits the theaters and besmirches your favorite film's good name. But does it really hurt the classic film?
