Channing Tatum Might Leave Gambit Solo Film
All seemed well for Fox and their X-Men film properties out of San Diego Comic Con '15. After all, they cemented their status at the comic book convention with a great panel showcasing all of their upcoming films (Deadpool, X-Men: Apocalypse, et al) and an epic on-stage selfie. All seemed well and good coming out of the successful panel, but rumor has it that everything might not be as it seems.……
PlayStation Vue is Sony’s Venture into Cloud-Based TV Streaming
Slowly but surely, we're all cutting the cord (very literally) when it comes to TV. It's bad news for service providers like DirecTV and Comcast, but many networks are embracing the new wave of offering subscription-free online services, like HBO recently embraced when they announced HBO Go for all users in 2015. For those that still insist on cable/satellite subscriptions, they can point to the…
[Weekend Box Office] Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Rises to Top
Despite facing three new wide releases this weekend, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was able to top the box office for the second weekend in a row with $36m. The Purge: Anarchy open to a solid $28m intake for second place. The unofficial Cars spin-off, Planes: Fire and Rescue, rounded out the top three with an $18m revenue.

[Trailer 3] Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
When the first trailer for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was released back in December, I didn't think much of it. Sure, I enjoyed Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but that was mostly due to my bias towards James Franco and Frieda Pinto. The first Dawn trailer looked bland, both in its color palette and subject matter in which the humans and apes are about to engage in war. Fast forward to…
[Trailer] Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Taking place ten years after the Planet of the Apes reboot, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes features a war-torn landscape in which humans and primates have been fighting following Caesar's coup in the previous film. With presumably the world's entire primate population made intelligent from the ALZ-112 gas, Caesar's primate revolution has grown to a…
PaRappa the Rapper rumored to return on PlayStation 4, PS Vita
PaRappa the Rapper is one of my favorite video game characters of all time. Alongside Mega Man and Sonic the Hedgehog, I have many fond memories spent with the paper-thin rapping ass rapper, despite the PaRappa the Rapper franchise launched relatively late back in 1997. To this day, I still hold PaRappa in the highest regard, illustrated in no small part by my PaRappa the Rapper-themed fantasy…
Jean Deaux: “Black Planet” (Feat. Calez)
This is a good one. I first heard Jean Deaux & Calez perform this joint at the #ClubWileyApprecciation show and I found the song's theme pretty interesting and the storyline pretty hilarious as Jean meets Calez through the infamous BlackPlanet social network and begin an online romance. Dope raps are also featured in this joint, but what else would you expeect from the two emcees? Listen below…
