DC To Publish He-Man/Thundercats Crossover Comic

Two of the most iconic cartoons and toys from the ’80s will appear in their own crossover title this October. Written by TMNT alumni Lloyd Goldfine and Rob David and featuring artwork by Freddie Williams II (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Thundercats and He-Man will come together for a new comic mini-series. The concept for the […]

Westside Connection: Bow Down – Music Monday

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of Bow Down, the debut album from hip hop supergroup Westside Connection. Released at a time when the media was going crazy of the so-called rivalry between East Coast and West Coast hip hop, Bow Down is not an appeal for a respect but a defiant middle finger to […]

Shaft (1971) – ReWatch

Tomorrow is the 45th anniversary of Shaft, the jewel in the crown of the blaxploitation genre. Even the powerful effect this film had on American cinema is overshadowed by its phenomenal cultural impact. Richard Roundtree’s portrayal of John Shaft turned him into a cinema icon and became a measuring stick for power, strength, confidence and […]

In Defence Of… Fantastic Four – Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

I have always enjoyed Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Strangely enough, this puts me in a minority of comic book movie fans as it is not a well-loved piece of work. When it’s not ignored it’s dismissed as that of an unpleasant memory. I honestly could not disagree more. I don’t consider it […]

‘Who Is It?’ – Michael Jackson – Track Of The Day

As a lifelong Michael Jackson fan, I find it infuriating that his much deserved praise frequently stops at 1982’s Thriller. As if he did nothing for the next ten years. Spike Lee made a great documentary about the 1987 album Bad on its 25th anniversary but I think Michael Jackson‘s music in the 90s is not given a […]

Music Monday – The Versitility of Prince

There have been many tributes paid to the late Prince Rogers Nelson since his passing. His music was beautiful, outrageous, groundbreaking and sometimes downright infuriating. That’s the kind of artist he was and that’s why we loved him. Here are five of my personal favourite yet lesser known Prince songs which I feel display his wide […]

Nichelle Nichols To Make Guest Appearance At MCM Ireland

This year’s MCM Ireland Comic Con have just announced a very special guest: Star Trek royalty Nichelle Nichols. Already an accomplished singer and dancer on and off broadway, Nichols shot to international stardom when in 1966 she was cast in the Original Star Trek Series as Uhura, the communications officer. Nichols was one of the first […]

Forgotten Childhood – Batman TAS: Baby-Doll

Batman TAS (The Animated Series) is second to none in its adaptation and interpretation of the legendary comic book characters. It’s also known for creating new heroes and villains. While some became staples of the mythology (Harley Quinn, Renee Montoya) others are best suited for one-off adventures. These little stand alone stories have no real star power but […]

The Rock Cast As Doc Savage

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has been cast as Doc Savage, the legendary superhero and star of numerous comics, novels and radio serials. Earlier this month, veteran screenwriter and all-round legend Shane Black closed his deal with Sony to produced his Doc Savage movie. Having worked on the film for several years, Black will begin production once he has finished […]

Could The Little Mermaid Get The Live Action Treatment?

There’s a wonderful rumour going around that Walt Disney Studios will produce a live action version of the 1989 classic The Little Mermaid. According to an article published in Deadline, an idea was pitched and, though yet to be greenlit, it was very well received and now producers and writers working on how to make it Hans […]
