Great.
I'm a fan of the books. Didn't like the series at first but gave it a chance and it gets very good.

Death Race 2050, a Roger Corman produced sequel to Death Race 2000.  Not as good as the original, but stupid and shlocky in just the right ways.  Way better than the crappy Jason Statham remake.

Legion seems promising. we'll see what happens.

Jack Reacher: Never go back.

Well, it looked like it could have been made in the 80s.  C+.

[Eddie Teach]

Tom Cruise would have looked the same too.

I watched that last night.  A truly campy, stupid, goofy movie.

Agreed, I liked the premiere, interesting sci-fi drama unfolding. Yep, see how it goes.

'Castlevania' Animated Series Debuting on Netflix This Year

Castlevania season 1, part 1 is coming to Netflix this year. This week, Netflix made more than a few announcements about their upcoming programming, including this video game adaptation. The "dark" and "satirical" animated series hails from producer Adi Shankar (Dredd), comic book writer Warren Ellis (Planetary), and the executive producer of Adventure Time, Fred Seibert, who's also the founder and CEO of Frederator Studios.

The video game series launched in 1986 is still ongoing. The last installment, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, was released three years ago. The games are inspired by Bram Stoker's Dracula and Universal's classic monster movies and follow the famous Belmont clan. For centuries, they've been battling Dracula. Netflix is turning that battle into a four-part season, with each episode 30 minutes in length.

Seibert's Frederator Studios is working on the animated series. Seibert recently teased an "unnamed" video game adaptation at the end of 2016, but it was obvious he was talking about Castlevania:

We have a project right now that we're doing that needs to go unnamed, based on one of the most world-famous video games of the last 30 years, that we've had in our shop for 12 years without being able to get it started. But there were great characters and a great story, and eventually, we got it going.

Frederator Studios owns the adaptation rights to Castlevania. Shankar said the animated series is based on the third game in the series, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, released in 1989. That game introduced Alucard (Dracula reversed), the son Dracula had with a human woman. "The goal is to bring hard hitting anime to the America and be America's first animated series for adults," Shankar told Collider. The producer also wants the show to have a "heavy metal electro guitar vibe found in the early games."

Pretty sure we have had animated series for adults before.

Watching The Missing.

Good so far.

Yes, I thought it was very good. Haven't watched the second season yet, but I hear it's at least as good.

Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, the new Planet of the Apes films) will replace Affleck as director of the new Batman film. He's no hack, but I can't say he's an exciting pick either.
