Disney officially announced Indiana Jones will return to the big screen on July 19, 2019, for a fifth epic adventure in the blockbuster series. Steven Spielberg, who directed all four previous films, will helm the as-yet-untitled project with star Harrison Ford reprising his iconic role. Franchise veterans Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce.
“Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019. It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven,” said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios.
Famed archaeologist and explorer Indiana Jones was introduced in 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, and later thrilled audiences in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The four films have brought in nearly $2 billion at the global box office.

In this week’s Episode of Supergirl , the titular character gets exposed to red kryptonite. Which doesn’t kill her, it just brings out Kara’s bad side. And in this case, bad is very fun to watch. This season we’ve seen Melissa Benoist play Supergirl as fierce and sweet. We’ve also seen her act like a flustered geek that brings back memories of Christopher Reeve’s Superman. We’ve even gotten to see Benoist play Martian Manhunter posing as Supergirl. Benoist has rocked them all. I was anxious to see how she handled a bad girl.
SPOILERS AHEAD
The episode started with Supergirl being her strong and sweet self. First she stands up for a girl who is being picked on. Then she saves a couple of fireman who are trapped up on a roof. This is where things get interesting though as Supergirl gets exposed to red kryptonite. We still don’t know who planted it, but a good guess is Indigo. (JZ: Update apparently it was Max Lord — I somehow missed that scene…) Supergirl pretty much instantly becomes bad girl Supergirl, saying thoughts that she has been suppressing. She also lets her “inner goddess” out. In one of the best fight scenes of the series, Supergirl easily beats up a powerful alien but then lets him go because she’s bored. Next, she pretty much calls out Hank Henshaw because he could be as strong as she is but hides behind his human disguise. Kara gets underhanded Siobhan fired, paving the way for Siobhan’s next move on the show. Kara hits on Jimmy, big time. She ignores Winn. Then she shows Cat who the most powerful person in National City really is by tossing her off of a building. Alex faces Kara and gives her the old “this isn’t you spiel.” Alex also lets Kara know that she’s been exposed to red kryptonite. Which is one of the glitches in tonight’s episode as we have no idea how the DOA figured this out. Kara then goes on to give Alex a verbal whipping pointing out they aren’t really sisters and she is pretty much nothing without Kara who she is jealous of. All in all, a great moment for the show. One, because it is kind of true. Two, because Benoist and Chyler Leigh really let the emotion out.
Things turn nasty for Supergirl and National City when Cat delivers an on air warning that Supergirl can’t be trusted. Supergirl starts doing what Batman is afraid Superman might do in their upcoming movie. She starts knocking things down and blowing things up with heat ray vision. Lucky for the DOA they now have Maxwell Lord, on their side, this also is never really explained, which is a another flaw. Max has whipped up a weapon that should remove the red kryptonite from Supergirl. He even wishes Alex luck, guess he kind of likes her. But still mirky motivation for him. The DOA goes after Supergirl, yet she proves too much for them, easily knocking them around. Luckily, Hank takes Supergirl’s advice and converts to Martian Manhunter. Manhunter and Supergirl take to the sky. They come crashing down, Manhunter seems to have the advantage but Supergirl still has a lot of fight in her. Plus she can always light him up with heat ray vision since he does not like fire. But Alex gets the drop on Supergirl with Max’s weapon. The bad news is Hank stays in Martain Manhunter form and is captured by the DOA. Another flaw in the episode as Hank had saved the day and could have easily gotten away. It also doesn’t make sense that the DOA would now hold him in a cell.
Supergirl wakes up in the DOA extremely sad at what she did. How she turned on her sister and the city she loves. The only good news is she didn’t kill anybody. Apparently Red Kryptonite brings out the worst in you but you are still you and won’t go against your basic core values. Supergirl and Cat have a heart to heart talk in Cat’s office. Supergirl apologizes for tossing her off a building. Cat tells Supergirl yeah she lost the city’s trust but all is not lost because she can win it back with work. And if there’s one thing Supergirl is good at it’s putting in the work.
This was fun episode with a lot to like. It was fantastic seeing Benoist play Supergirl letting all her pent up frustrations out. There was much truth in the verbal beating she gave Alex. You could feel Kara’s anger about being encouraged to hold back her super-self for a good portion of her life on Earth. She has pent up issues about this that she must deal with now. As much as the Alex and Supergirl scenes clicked the Supergirl and Kat scenes are some of the highlights of the series. Kat grant is a character who could be very unlikeable but Calista Flockhart does an excellent job making her likeable. Not just likeable but also noble as she holds herself and those around her to higher standards. She is an outstanding and surprising character. The other nice thing about this episode was the characters all have to actually live with consequences and work to fix them. Alex and Kara have to deal with the facts that Alex not only killed Astra but she is somewhat jealous of Kara. Kara not only has to win back the confidence of National City back she but also scared Jimmy Olsen off. She must work at gaining his trust again.
Fast Conclusion: Probably the best episode of Supergirl yet with great action, tension and some character growth. We get to see a darker side of Supergirl. Yes this was a red kryptonite induced darker side, but this is still a part of her that she has been dealing with since arriving on Earth.
The next few episodes are going to be interesting!

Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice is two weeks away, and some mystery still surrounds the film. While we know that Cyborg and Flash will make an appearance, we are still unsure about Hal Jordan (Green Lantern)
Dan Amboyer is the actor who’s rumored to playing the iconic role in the film. In fact, we covered all our reasons why this made so much sense a week ago. Many have dismissed the idea of Amboyer playing the role because producer Charles Roven was quoted as saying.
“Every beat of the movie is not yet worked out,” Roven says. “So there’s the possibility that he may or may not be in Justice League 2,” said Roven. “For now, we felt that we were introducing enough characters that the best possible place we could put Green Lantern is some introduction in Justice League 2, or barring that, a movie after.”
However, as we stated previously, he never mentioned anything about Hal Jordan. Well, Dan Amboyer certainly added fuel to the speculation with this Instagram post.
As I’m sure you caught on with the green light and usage of the phrase “find your limelight”, he’s dropping some serious hints that he’s indeed playing Green Lantern. However, he could be playing another character that incorporates the color green.
Maybe he’s playing Metallo, a kryptonite-fueled cyborg who would pose an enormous threat to Superman. The “Limelight” that he could be referring to might be the light from Kryptonite.
What role do you think he’s playing? Do you believe the producers and think he’s not going to be in the Green Lantern Corps? One thing is for certain, the odds of Dan Amboyer just playing the role of a drone pilot are slim.
Despite the rumors the show would return for its second season this year, new developments have made it appear as if fans will have no choice but to wait for more Attack on Titan anime. According to sources, the original creator Hajime Isayama wants to make sure the original manga is four full story arcs ahead before the new anime starts airing. His intention is to make absolutely sure the anime doesn’t catch up to the manga and create some type of filler episodes which could result in negative feedback from the fans. This situations seems like a double edged sword as fans will react to this news of a delay in a similar negative fashion.
Though the creator is looking at the importance of using the story arcs as a staple for how much anime should be made, it may be more important to look at the number of chapters involved instead. The first season of the anime adapted 34 chapters of manga and the 80th chapter will be released in the coming weeks. There is plenty of material for a studio to adapt into an anime. As a matter of fact, adapting another 34 chapters would put the series at chapter 68 which is at the tail end of one of the arcs. Perfect place to wrap up a season and allow for a third season which will give fans the proper ending they deserve.
Though this news may be depressing for fans of the series, keep in mind it’s only March. There is still plenty of time in the year for a studio to make a decision to go ahead and get the show up and running sometime for 2016. Who knows? The Attack on Titan season 2 may just be the best show of the Fall 2016 anime season. For now fans will have no choice but to rewatch the first season on Crunchyroll.

Yes, of course there will be spoilers here. We’re talking about the end!
10 Cloverfield Lane is a tremendous film, a claustrophobic and balanced thriller, soaked with paranoia fueling the flames of apprehension. It’s a masterfully-composed chamber horror with stellar performances from Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Goodman, and a pretty solid supporting turn from John Gallagher Jr.
At least it is for about 85% of the time.
That final reel of 10 Cloverfield Lane is nothing but problematic. As it stands on its own it’s a thrilling showdown between Winstead’s Michelle – free from her very troubled and ultimately layered captor, Howard – and one of the alien ships, or creatures, who has invaded the planet. But that’s precisely the problem, it stands on its own.
The buildup to the final few minutes is some of the most incredible 90 minutes of tension and misdirection I have seen in some time. As Michelle transforms from fearful prisoner, to accepting daughter-figure, to ultimate problem solver with a way to break free from Howard, Winstead never allows her character to lose focus. More observant than interactive, Michelle is forever thinking, moving her eyes as the gears in her brain churn out solutions to problems. Winstead is fabulous. And Goodman does what Goodman does; he is clearly a disturbed person in the end, but we run the gamut of trust and mistrust as Howard’s past reveals itself through deft touches in the screenplay. He is a layered, fascinating antagonist, and Michelle’s escape is earned and cathartic.
But once Howard is out of the picture in the end and Michelle is free outside, everything 10 Cloverfield Lane had worked so feverishly to perfect in the first two (and a half) acts is upended. Now, tension is thrown to the side in lieu of some heavy effects and what seem to be forced action. Michelle spots the alien ship, or creature, roaming the fields outside Howard’s home, and realizes she must now fight off this ship and the sentinel it dropped in the nearby stalks. The complete shift in tone is jarring. A suspenseful thriller has now become an alien invasion action film for the sake of shoving CGI in our face and – feebly – branding this film with the original.
Fine, shift the tones, have Michelle fend off aliens and take off to Houston to help the resistance. But doing it in the final fifteen minutes of a film that had been basically a stage play to that point? It’s a caboose slowing down the entire train. When Michelle jumped on top of Howard’s car and saw the alien craft in the distance, I hoped that would be the final shot. Because it’s chilling to realize Howard was right, and you don’t know Michelle’s next move. Instead we have another ten minutes or so of action that, while well staged, is unsatisfying. And Michelle’s Molotov cocktail into the mouth of the beast is weak. Yes, I know, it’s similar to War of The Worlds. Much of this film is (the first 90 minutes are basically a riff on the Tim Robbins scenes in Spielberg’s film), but War of The Worlds was a large-scale film told on a broad canvas with hundreds of moving parts. And it was a clear allegory for human nature post-9/11. 10 Cloverfield Lane isn’t interested in all that, so aesthetically it may owe itself to Spielberg’s film; emotionally and tonally, it is something entirely separate. At least until the end.
There was another end to the film Collider detailed today, where Michelle finds herself looking over a destroyed Chicago skyline. She removes her gas mask, takes a breath, and the credits roll. This would have been a perfect ending, adding mystery to a film steeped entirely in mystery. But reshoots and rewrites happen in Hollywood. So 10 Cloverfield Lane became part of a brand, a spiritual sequel to an existing film that has less than 1% to do with the first go round. But the movie is solid work from Dan Trachtenberg, a film that deserves credit for creating a thrilling, intimate look at some great characters in a weird situation. It just seems like that final reel was out of his hands in the end.
Star Wars Episode VIII continued filming in Dubrovnik today and with that brought a whole fresh set of photos to along with it. For those who may not have seen yesterday’s article, we posted videos and pictures of what looked to be a land speeder chase. We also wondered why everyone was wearing black. Well, that trend continued today. Let’s take a look but be forewarned; these are certainly spoiler filled pictures that I’m about to post.
Okay, don’t say I didn’t warn all of you.
These costumes seem to have an imperial feel to them. What are your thoughts?
Anyone recognize who’s on what looks to be some space horse? It certainly seems to be Finn and Rey or it could be their stunt doubles. Still check out the guys jacket and tell me that doesn’t look like Finn to you.
A couple of really cool shots of people in these scenes. Again more photos of people in black but the part that sticks out to me is that we have that one lady who’s in white. Who is she? Any theories? Also, we have more men in black robes that look similar to a Jedi robe. Why? Then we, of course, have the group gathered on the street all in black. Is this some funeral that we are witnessing?
Lastly, we have shots that map out an explosive land speeder chase. Who are the actors in these pictures? Stunt doubles?New Actors?
Let us know what you think about all these photos as we continue to countdown the days till Star Wars Episode VIII is released.
