2020 has the potential to be the year in which DC can finally overtake Marvel at the movies and on television. It can’t be denied that 2019 was a tremendous year for Marvel. With three films all seeing massive success commercially and critically, as well as the continued praise of their television and streaming programs, Marvel had done well for themselves. However, as the brand seems to cool down in the new year following the saga-ending Avengers: Endgame, with only some smaller releases on the big screen and a handful of TV series, this could be the perfect opportunity for DC to outshine Marvel on both fronts with their future offerings....

47 Meters Down: Uncaged is the textbook definition of disposable summer entertainment, combining weak characters with intermittent thrills. After underwater survival thriller 47 Meters Down became a surprise sleeper box office hit in the summer of 2017, a sequel was quickly put into motion. This weekend, that followup - 47 Meters Down: Uncaged - premieres in theaters, hoping to replicate the success of its predecessor. Though this film features an all-new cast when compared to the original movie, the returning creative team of director Johannes Roberts and co-writer Ernest Rivera ensures the sequel carries over some of the first movie’s DNA....

Badass heroes and heroines need badass weapons. It’s as simple as that. Some action badasses are synonymous with their weapon of choice. Some are literally part of them. Others are attachments, sidearms, or even entire suits that look good and kill even better. The connecting factor is standing out from the routine weapons or stupid ideas that other action heroes have to suffer through. The best ones make a movie better....

Disney can’t stop churning out live-action remake after live-action remake. Neither can anyone else it seems. Animation is charming and fantastical, while live-action is realistic and relatable, so the desire to turn one into the other does make a lot of sense. We’ve taken a look at five times where a live-action remake was better than its animated original, and five times where the animated version should have remained the only version....
