“Daredevil” an effectively dark entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

April 10, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

Sure, colorfully outfitted superheroes soaring to great heights, wielding magic hammers, wearing iron suits and engaging in fisticuffs of the innocuous, blood-free comic-book sort are great fun to see on the big screen, hence the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and its box-office blockbusters like The Avengers, Captain America, et al. But once in a while, as comics fans know, it’s also fascinating to get down to street level, and all the grittiness and life-or-death battles down there. Covering those more (sometimes brutally) real adventures is the goal of a batch of Marvel Netflix series based on those more down-and-dirty heroes, the […]

First Look: House Of Cards Season 3 Trailer

February 23, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Some of the biggest buzz surrounding last night’s Oscar’s broadcast had little to do with Neal Patrick Harris in tighty-whities, John Travolta heavy-petting Idina Menzel’s face or John Legend and Common’s moving musical performance to their Oscar-winning song, “Glory.” Today, many people are talking about the President of the United States. Okay, okay, the fictional President of the United States, but still…people can’t stop talking about Francis Underwood, the devilish fake president played by Kevin Spacey on Netflix’s House of Cards and the series’ dramatic Season 3 trailer. Last week, the third season of the critically acclaimed drama was “accidentally” […]
