Actress Mary Kay Winstead is preparing to be the Huntress on the big screen.
In an interview with The Wrap, the Fargo star talks about the project and suiting up as Helena Bertanelli. While she wasn’t a fan growing up, she would learn a great deal about Huntress.
“I can’t say that I was a huge comic book reader,” she says. “But when I met with Cathy Yan, who’s directing the film, and learned kind of the back story of the character, I was really interested. It’s a really strong, kind of emotional place to start from for a superhero character.”
DC fans can expect there will be plenty of action in the Birds of Prey movie. The future Huntress reveals she’s preparing to train for the role. Needless to say, it will be physical.
“I’ll be learning how to shoot a bow and arrow — which is new for me,” Winstead says. “It’s really exciting, and even the process of going through getting the role and everything was a very different experience than I’ve typically been through. Being with the other actresses and a female director and just the whole energy behind this is so unique, so I’m really happy about that.”
The all-female team will consist of Huntress, Harley Quinn, and Black Canary. Cassandra Cain is also playing a role of sorts. Margot Robbie will reprise Harley Quinn, while Jurnee Smollett-Bell is playing Black Canary. Rosie Perez will play Renee Montoya. Barbara Gordon/Oracle will not be in the film.
Birds of Prey is aiming for a February 2020 release.
Best of Enemies is a new film starring Taraji P. Henson and Sam Rockwell in a story that centers around a civil rights activist and the leader of the Ku Klux Klan working together. Set in 1970s North Carolina, the film centers around the fight for school integration. Best of Enemies arrives in April of 2019.
About Best of Enemies
Official Description: Civil rights activist Ann Atwater faces off against C.P. Ellis, Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan, in 1971 Durham, North Carolina over the issue of school integration.
Director Robin Bissell leads his first film after a career as a producer that includes helping films such as Pleasantville, Seabiscuit, and The Hunger Games become a reality. Bissell has a stellar cast and a killer setup for a wildly entertaining story. Like a good trailer will do, Best of Enemies presents the central story while giving us glimpses into where it will go. It appears Rockwell’s Klan leader is much more complex than a simple antagonist, while Henson’s Atwater is a firebrand looking to burn the old ways to the ground.
Best of Enemies features a cast that includes …
Taraji P. Henson as Ann Atwater
Sam Rockwell as C. P. Ellis
Babou Ceesay as Bill Riddick
Anne Heche
Wes Bentley
Bruce McGill
John Gallagher Jr.
Nick Searcy
The timing of the release is interesting. April isn’t really a month for dramas like this, and in 2019, this film will be going up against Pet Sematary, Hellboy, and Shazaam!. It’s safe to assume STX Entertainment is counting on all the people who have no interest in those movies to show up in droves. Stranger things have happened. And from the looks of the trailer, Best of Enemies will be an entertaining time at the movies.

Season 3 of Daredevil quickly establishes why it is the flagship series in the Netflix Marvel Universe. Season 1 was the origin of a hero, Season 2 was the moral compass of a hero, and Season 3 is the deconstruction of a hero. When a hero has lost everything, it is in these moments the story has a potential for greatness.
In this review, we talk about the different directors and what they bring to the first six episodes. This discussion on directors might lead to very loose spoilers. If you want to watch Season 3 spoiler-free do not read any further.
In the first six episodes, you are given a broken hero, the return of the Kingpin, and the origin of Daredevil’s greatest foe. With Charlie Cox leading the way, alongside a diverse group of writers and directors, season 3 has a scope and feel ripped directly from the source material. The cinematographer Christopher LaVasseur and stunt coordinator Gary Stearns need a special mention as the fight scenes this season are over the top, and there is more of a reference to Matt Murdock’s boxing background.
Episode 0301 – 4.5 stars
Marvel’s Daredevil
Directed by Marc Jobst, the first episode of season 3 has to connect the dots between the last episode of The Defenders and now. Matt is broken with no sense of purpose. Jobst opens the season with everything blurry, which disorients the viewer, and you recover alongside Matt. The injuries to Matt impair his powers, and Jobst does an excellent job conveying this aspect on screen.
The episode is emotional, and Joanne Whalley, who plays Sister Maggie, takes over through skill and a well-written script. There is no speedy recover for Matt and Sister Maggie is there to kick him in the teeth to get back up. You felt Matt’s pain. The comic book roots of Daredevil are in this episode.
Episode 0302 – 4 stars
Marvel’s Daredevil
Directed by Lukas Ettlin, this is a Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) episode. “Love is a perfect prison,” will go down as one of the great lines of season 3. Played by Wilson Bethel, we get our first look at Benjamin Poindexter and the potential of that will become Bullseye. Ettlin handles the sharpshooting abilities of Poindexter with an epic firefight in the streets of New York.
D’Onofrio embodies the Kingpin, the raw emotion he brings to the table is unmatched. His quiet calm as an evil mastermind is unnerving and chills you to the core.
Each episode builds from the previous as more and more characters are added. Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) enters the story at this point, and you are introduced to his family and the family meat shop, which is so Foggy. It also serves to elevate Foggy to a new level of likeability. Matt may be broken, but Foggy is a rock of niceness.
The way the episode ends, you are forced to keep watching immediately.
Episode 0303 – 4 stars
Marvel’s Daredevil
Directed by Jennifer Getzinger, episode 3 takes a step back and goes for more of a psychological feel. The questions start to pop up of what it means to be a hero and how that translates to the male ego. The Kingpin, Daredevil, the church, and the FBI battle between right and wrong.
Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) enters in at this point, and the first Donald Trump reference is made with, “Fake News.” Fisk looks to be the loose metaphor for Trump in series. This is also where Matt takes his first step towards a fall from grace. Getzinger’s episode gives a chance to look for a more significant meaning to the series.
Episode 0304 – 5 stars
Marvel’s Daredevil
Directed by Alex Garcia Lopez, this is the episode everyone will talk about. The fight sequence is insane and relentless. Stearns’ choreography is on a different level because you need to remember Matt is blind, he sees and fights differently. This aspect is made apparent and is so well thought out. Episode 4 is what separates Daredevil from every other Marvel Netflix series.
The emotional intensity of the episode is explosive and sets the bar for future episodes. By the end of episode 4, Lopez earned all five stars through blood, sweat, and tears.
Episode 0305 – 4.5 stars
Marvel’s Daredevil
Directed by Julian Holmes, episode 5 has to follow the best episode of the series so far by changing the pace by giving us a black and white stage play of Bullseye’s origin. This is something I didn’t think was necessary but by the end of the episode, it becomes essential to Kingpin’s master plan.
This is the beginning of the “turn” on multiple levels. The Kingpin becomes Emperor Palpatine to FBI Agent Poindexter as the mental hooks start to grab hold. Holmes films the de-evolution of Poindexter in such a way you can’t help but feel sorry for him.
Episode 0306 – 5 stars
Marvel’s Daredevil
Directed by Stephen Surjik, episode 6 has the first battle between Daredevil and Bullseye. With free rein, Surjik gives you the full spectrum of Bullseye’s abilities. As a comic book fan, this fight is one for the ages. As mentioned above, there is more of a boxing influence this season, and episode 6 is just round one. The style of the fighters and is entirely different, and you see Daredevil mentally adjusting to find the boxing edge.
Season 3 does an excellent job establishing a new villain by laying the groundwork of explosives on an emotional bridge, and the Kingpin slowly detonates the bombs until it crumbles. It is a six-episode slow built to an epic confrontation of good and evil.
So far, Daredevil Season 3 has raised the bar on what you should expect from a superhero television show.
I’m not sure how many of my readers know this, but I am a huge football fan. I used to study stats when I was in high school and even took photos of the football games for my school newspaper. I legitimately love the sport. Yet, with all the CTE issues and seeming decline in the quality of the games, it seems like the game will die out sooner rather than later. Thankfully, I also consider myself a fan of basketball.
Now, I also took photos for my school paper of the high school basketball games, as well. So, I had some experience with the game.
You know there’s a joke in here somewhere, yet I’m not going to make it.
So when ESPN released Basketball: A Love Story, a new documentary series based on the sport, it seemed like a proverbial slam dunk (over/under on basketball puns: 20). I legitimately love their 30 for 30 series, and after the success of O.J. Made in America, this seemed like ESPN Films’ attempt to make a Ken Burns documentary, which is a noble goal.
Dan Klores had done two previous documentaries for ESPN Films about basketball. The first was a 2006 miniseries called Black Magic about the early history of African Americans in basketball. The second was an episode of 30 for 30, Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. the Knicks. I haven’t seen the former, but I have seen the latter and it was quite good. So I didn’t have doubts going into this documentary series.
Spencer Haywood and the late Connie Hawkins’ fights to play in the NBA were vital to the documentary.
To no one’s surprise, it was. Basketball: A Love Story is a genuinely fascinating and uniquely interesting look at one of America’s favorite sports. I could end the review right here, but there are still parts of the films I want to talk about; things both good and bad.
The setup of the series is a personal and literal history. The personal history isn’t fascinating and I felt distracted from the actual history. Still, it was integrated decently. Yet when the series got to the literal history it actually has a narrative structure, right up with Ken Burns’ works.
Terry Pluto’s stories about ABA were invaluable in helping the ABA portion of the film coming truly alive.
Like Burns’ work the series uses famous narrators: Chadwick Boseman, Julianne Moore, Ahmad Rashad and others, lend their voices to narrate important historical information.
You know what, I’ll eschew the normal review structure for something more befitting the topic. Your play-by-play man is in italics, and your color commentator is in bold, enjoy.
One of the most uniquely visualized segments was the race for the 1978 scoring title.
“Good afternoon everybody, it sure is a great scene at Monkey Fighting Robots Arena in beautiful downtown Fredericktown, OH. My name is Damien Zukor, alongside me, a former winning coach himself, Dennis Fitzsimmons. Fitz, it appears we have a solid matchup between these two teams.” “That’s right Zuc, the core differences In the Negative Nancies, and the Positive Points is their scoring ability. The positives are the masters of the paint, they get those tough baskets. The Nancies, strike thru the long-range three-pointers, they’ve made more than half their 3’s.”
We’ll jump to the fourth quarter.
Rod Thorn’s story about Bernard King drinking three Scotch on the Rocks in 2 minutes, was one of the many fascinating stories in the film. (Even if it wasn’t intended as such.)
“The Negatives have been riding the hot streak of ‘Not using retrospective interviews.’”“That’s right, Zuc is something that’s been hurting the positives all day, it hasn’t been a complete history, as it should have been.
“The positives are ahead 110 to 108, those negatives have charged back on ‘Women’s basketball not being interesting before the WNBA’. “We hate to criticize it, but it’s just not very interesting.” “Yet the positives have ridden ‘Good storytelling’ to the bank. “Absolutely he’s put up 50 points in this game so far. Especially the bit involving drug use in the 70s.”
David Stern’s use of courtroom logic helped disprove any conspiracy claims involving Patrick Ewing going to the Knicks. (At least to me, anyway)
“45 seconds left in the game: ’great narrative’ passed to ‘fascinating interviews’, who passes it to ‘Unique music choices’, Choices with the shot…good!”“Wonderful execution to use David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” to talk about Patrick Ewing arriving with the Knicks.” “33 seconds, Positives by four, forgotten elements’ shot is good from long range!” “They clearly forgot about the Malice at the Palace, it is a love story; so, it should have included all the negative events.”“30 seconds, negatives down by one, music passes to interviews, passes to narrative, passes to editing. Editing puts it up, and hits off the front iron, rebounded by narrative, and puts it in with an ABA flourish!”“Did you see that finger roll, it was shades of George Gervin!” “21 seconds left, Positives by three; forgotten elements, passed to first episode narrative issues, passed to not using retrospective interviews, Not using retrospective interviews shoots, and it’s blocked by extensive discovered footage usage, did you see that? Rebounded by interviews, interviews run the fast break and passes to footage library, who slams it in! Wow, what an effort!” “I’ll say.” “10 seconds left, Negatives don’t have any timeouts left, women’s basketball not being interesting shoots for three, and it’s in! The positives are inbounding, and it’s stolen by forgotten elements, who puts it in! This game is tied at 116, and positives call their final timeout, with two seconds left! (After the timeout) The positives are in-bounding…” “They’re going to go to extensive footage, I can feel it.”“The positives give to footage, he shoots at the buzzer…Good!!! It’s good! The positive points beat the Negative Nancies 118 to 116, in the final seconds!”
I was torn on the rating for this. I was split between 4.5/5 and 5/5. I eventually decided 5/5 because, despite my complaints with the series, this is still a well-made, genuinely interesting and downright hypnotic series.

Sadie debuted at the 2018 South by Southwest Film Festival to positive reviews and makes its way to theaters this weekend.
The film follows Sadie, a girl who lives with her mother because her father is a soldier serving overseas. When her mother begins to date a new man, Sadie decides to “protect” her father at any costs by trying to prevent her mother from having a love life.
This movie certainly needs to be praised for its ambition and creativity. The story is unique and crazy, truly unlike anything to have been seen before. It also has some lofty goals, handling topics that are taboo or just difficult to address. Sometimes, this ambition pays off. Other times, it seems to fall a bit flat.
Ultimately, the movie works far better as a character study than a plot-driven or thematic film, though it seems to want to be a bit of each. The protagonist is indeed sympathetic, although there is a shroud of ambiguity surrounding her. The filmmaker deliberately allows her to be mysterious, aiming to cause the audience to ask questions. Additionally, many of the secondary characters are well-developed
The first hour or so of the film is strong. This part is successful because it embraces the character drama without being melodramatic. In the last thirty minutes of the movie, the story goes over-the-top and somewhat melodramatic territory, impacting the realism that was created in the first two acts. Whereas the first two acts were gritty and emotional, the third act was just unsettling.
Additionally, though the film does provide some interesting commentary on its themes, it is somewhat inconsistent in so doing. There are scenes in which the dialogue feels too awkward and unnatural for it to be successful in its goals. Additionally, there were a few moments in which the movie introduced metaphors or symbols that didn’t end up being fully developed.
That being said, the film has quite a bit of technical merit. The cinematography is great. The visual style is very subdued, with lots of cold and muted colors being used to complement the emotions in the script. The soundtrack and score are perfect too, adding to the movie’s tone.
The ensemble is also very worthy of praise. The lead actress, Sophia Mitri Schloss, is very talented for someone so young. She does a good job of capturing the nuances of the role. Melanie Lynskey, who plays Sadie’s mother, is excellent, too. She and Schloss have good chemistry together. The cast is rounded out by strong supporting turns by actors including John Gallagher Jr. and Tony Hale.
Overall, Sadie was an interesting and ambitious film. Although not all of it landed as well as it wanted to, the character development is great and the execution is solid. It is definitely worth checking out if you get the chance.
Sadie opens in select theaters beginning October 12.
Wonder Woman and the Justice League Dark continue their fight against Hecate
This month’s crossover takes a spooky turn with Wonder Woman and the Justice League Dark facing off against a goddess. When Diana was younger, witches who serve Hecate brand her to be taken by the goddess. She is brainwashed to forget this trauma, and her mother can’t find proof that anything has been done. Years pass and the brand has remained hidden behind Wonder Woman’s tiara, but now the plan is coming to fruition. Hecate is planning to destroy magic and remake the world. As the regular Justice League ends up hexed by the goddess, the Justice League Dark stand to save the world before Hecate can complete the destruction. Will they succeed?
**Some Spoilers Below**
Story:
After Hecate attacked their base, the Justice League Dark is led by Wonder Woman to the Greek Isles for back up. They capture a unicorn to use as a bargaining chip for Hecate’s most powerful witch, Circe. She welcomes the group, then proceeds to explain how there are others branded by Hecate.
Meanwhile, in New Mexico, a superheroine known as Manitou Dawn reveals herself to be one of the branded. She goes on a rampage, only to catch the attention of Deadman. The ghostly hero, realizing how bad this could become, he quickly makes his way to find the League.
While light on the action, there is plenty of juicy backstory for readers to enjoy. This story gets more and more interesting as we learn more about the master plan and see the effects of the witchmark. We learn that these marks enhance the wielders and it feels more like a deal with the devil. We see the amount of power it holds but the cost as well. It truly captures the dark magic vibes which perfectly encapsulate the theme of the story. By the end of the comic, you see Wonder Woman powered by the witchmark and are left excited and scared. I can’t wait to see the power of Hecate go all out in the coming issues.
Art:
If there is anything that hooks the reader more than the story, it’s the kick-ass art. Emanuela Lupacchino returns as the illustrator and, like her previous stories in the Wonder Woman series, knocks it out of the park. As always, her character designs are fantastic, as well as the details on the magic. The colorwork of Romulo Fajardo Jr. helps this art feel alive with vibrant colors to give the magic more life. The art is magical, and it’s all thanks to this phenomenal team.
Conclusion:
Pick up this issue. If you haven’t read the first issue, pick that up as well. This story will grab hold of you and take you on a wild ride into the magical side of the DC Universe. The future might look bleak for Wonder Woman, but I am excited about the next issue.
Yet another DC Comics graphic novel adaptation is coming to our obey screens soon, this time at CBS, with the live-action realization of the Secret Six.
If you are unfamiliar with this team of villains, think of them as another version of the Suicide Squad. In the graphic novel, the group was led by a mysterious figure known as ‘Mockingbird’, which each member assumed was one of their five counterparts on the team. The figure blackmails each team member to go on suspicious missions, similar treatment as to what Amanda Waller forces the squad to do when summoned.
The original series premiered in the 1960s, initially as a seven-issue run, but was brought back in the 1980s. In the 2000s, with the creative team of Jimmy Palmiotti, Gail Simone and Brad Walker, however, it was brought back yet again and featured a team of villains, including Bane, Catwoman and Harley Quinn.
The initial show description might suggest that the original team will be used to avoid the comparisons of Suicide Squad, should a ragtag team of misfits be used. What is also interesting was the choice not to make this show exclusive to DC Universe. We will just have to wait and see how things play out over the course of the rest of the year.
What do you think, are you excited to see this DC adaptation? Who do you want to see on the team? Let us know in the comments section below.
After the massive divisiveness in the Star Wars community following The Last Jedi (and Solo), all eyes are on J.J. Abrams to see what he’ll do with Episode IX. Rumors are rampant, while Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian has been hogging most the spotlight. Thanks to Star Wars News Net, however, there seems to be a legit spoiler rumor rising to the surface.
According to SWNN, filming is taking place in Jordan right now for Episode IX.
“Filming is happening in Jordan and at Pinewood,” states their unnamed source. “Pinewood sets are filming into next year with one of the sets having been extended to film for an additional two months due to a rewrite.”
For Episode IX fans, this is good news. Many have been speculating Abrams would resume Johnson’s take on the new trilogy by having the lead characters revisit a handful of locations from the original trilogy and Prequels. We seem to be in agreeance with the SWNN team, in that they’re likely searching planets where the Rebel Alliance received help in the past.
Set Location Possibilities For Episode IX

Other set locations mentioned include Ireland, California, and Italy. Ireland is most likely a trip back to Ahch-To, possibly to confirm Skywalker’s passing and attempt to discover clues which may help the Resistance. Likewise, the California location is probably Endor. Because, why not include Ewoks if the opportunity presents itself?
Nothing, however, is official regarding these reports for Episode IX. And yet, we’re comfortable in thinking there’s a 99.9% chance these filming locations are accurate. Abrams demonstrated with The Force Awakens that he’s unafraid to revisit the original trilogy in theme, or direct relation.
Since Episode IX is likely the final chapter of the Skywalker saga, it only makes sense that our new heroes would dive into the past looking for help against the First Order.

Based on the New York Times YA best-seller of the same name, The Hate U Give is a new film that serves as a commentary on race relations in the modern-day United States.
The story follows Starr, a high schooler who witnesses her childhood best friend being shot to death by a police officer. Over the course of the story, she must decide whether to stay quiet or find her voice and stand up for what is right.
This is certainly one of the boldest films aimed at a younger audience to be released in a long time. Not many movies that come out for teenagers have such a deeply important message at their core. For this alone, the film is admirable. Most thought-provoking movies about this subject matter are too complex or simply won’t hold the interest of younger audiences. That is not the case with this movie.
That being said, this does come at a cost. Even though the film does discuss these themes in a way that is palatable to younger audiences, it must sacrifice complexity in so doing. This movie should instead serve as a conversation starter— a way to introduce the theme so that other, more sophisticated films (or even discussion of real-life events) can become more accessible to these younger viewers.

The movie is very successful at creating an emotional connection with the characters, which will significantly help the film land with younger audiences. The protagonist, Starr, is very well-rounded and sympathetic. Some of the supporting characters, such as Starr’s father and older brother, are also well-developed and add more emotional depth to the story.
Additionally, the movie manages to be gripping despite its relatively long runtime for a teen-focused film. A significant part of this lies with the movie’s ability to create suspense. There were plenty of sudden turns in the tone of the film that keep you on the edge of your seat. Another factor is the comedic relief. This keeps the story from being entirely draining.
However, the movie includes some extraneous subplots that felt contrived. The most notable of these is a romantic storyline. This is a common trope of YA films, and while it is almost certainly included for the purpose of pleasing the target audience, it doesn’t add anything to the main storyline. Another subplot involves a drug dealer, and while that one does have more of a payoff, it still could have been trimmed out.

The execution of the movie is very strong. The cinematography is great. During the climax of the film, the camera does an excellent job of heightening tension. The soundtrack is great, too. It includes many great hip-hop songs, from classics to modern hits. These do a good job of setting the movie’s atmosphere, and in some cases, even adding to the message.
Additionally, the ensemble is great. Amandla Stenberg is phenomenal in her lead role. She is given far more to do in this film than in her prior roles, and that is a good thing. Her emotion is surprisingly believable, and she has a very strong on-screen presence. Russell Hornsby, who plays her father, is a standout in the supporting cast. He makes a character that could have easily felt flat instead seem much more nuanced. Common has a smaller role, but he still shines, having some of the most impactful scenes.
Overall, The Hate U Give was an interesting and emotional film. It is important for today’s youth to see, as it handles some tough topics in a way that, although shallow at times, can serve to spark interest in current events.
The Hate U Give is now playing in select theaters. It expands October 12 before opening everywhere October 19.
It’s hard to tell if the popularity behind My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is decreasing or as high as it ever was. This year, Hasbro has set a date to end the critically acclaimed series and fan convention, Bronycon, announced next year will be the last year the event takes place. At the time time, the books surrounding the series from IDW Comics seem to be doing well and are met with relatively high praise. Is this new series, featuring Princess Luna another one which will earn praise or is it just trotting to the end?
Princess Luna and Stygian find themselves being called to another world where an evil force has a malicious plan in place.
Writing
It often surprising how much detail goes into a series which is supposed to involve magical horses having adventures about making friends. When all of the mythology is laid out this franchise involves dimensional travel, shapeshifters, and characters which display powers close to those of deities. Writer Jeremy Whitley needs to be commended just for the amount of detail put into making sure all the different story lines are handled properly. This comic makes references to the cartoon and previous issues of the main comic series seamlessly. Unfortunately so many references are made it often feels some “See other issue” boxes would have been appreciated.
My Little Pony: Nightmare Knights presents an entertaining story. It also sets a up good reason why moving forward only certain individuals will be able to help with the mission. The issue does a successful job of both laying out the stakes and making the reader want to come back for the next issue.
Artwork
This issue features lots of great moments where you will find yourself paying attention to the details put into the issue. Tony Fleecs provides some great art work throughout this issue. Many pages feature minute details which readers will be able to scrutinize over to discover all the different easter eggs which are featured in the issue.
The color work by Heather Breckel allows for great magical effects and emotion to radiate to the reader. The use of different shades helps to showcase the between areas which are safe and ones where the characters are in danger. Also, the reveal of the main villain is aided greatly by the intense bits of color used in their presentation.
The lettering by Neil Uyetake delivers the comedy and drama of the comic with fantastic accuracy. Use of proper lettering helps to show when Luna summons forth her Nightmare Moon voice. It also helps the action to play out through use of very eye catching sound effects.
Conclusion
While it may not be the best issue of the year, it still is a fun book over and is well worth the time for fans of the franchise. My Little Pony: Nightmare Knights is geared for not only fans of Princess Luna or fans of the enemies turned friends in the franchise, but also individuals who enjoy the lore the comics can spin. Lots of good attention to detail makes sure to explain how it fits into the broader storylines and tries to continuity with lots of effort.
