For some reason, it is incredibly hard for movie studios to take a book and translate it to screen without royally screwing it up. To my mind, the best book-to-film adaptations in recent memory are the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hunger Games movies (so far). To make a truly good book adaptation, […]
Around the Web In a fit of what must be pure insanity, Disney is tearing down the Maelstrom ride in the Norway Pavilion at Epcot. It’s being replaced with a Frozen-themed journey through Arendelle, complete with fan favorite moments and music from the film. Seriously Disney? When will this madness come to an end? Wanna […]
Around the Web There are rumors that Greg Berlanti (executive producer of both Arrow and The Flash) is in active development for a possible Supergirl tv show.
