News Bites: Muppets of Steel

News Bites LogoBetter late than never, here are today’s News Bites. I know they’re going up more than 12 hours later than normal, but it’s been a busy week and a bit of a trying one with a misbehaving internet connection.

News Bites: Birdman, Buzz, and Blade Runner

News Bites LogoOnce again it’s Friday morning, and once again it’s time for the News Bites. Although in this case, it’s more like the News Choking Hazards.

News Bites: Pixar and Pixels

News Bites LogoIt’s the end of May, and it’s also the end of the work week for most people. Which is to say, it’s Friday, and it’s time for the News Bites. Disney and their subsidiaries are dominating the news this week, but there’s also a bit of action news from other quarters, including some shuffling on a couple of spies. So if you want to find out what’s going on, just keep reading. Continue reading

News Bites: Timecop and Tai Chi

News Bites LogoIt’s another Friday morning, and that means another edition of the News Bites. Last week was a bit on the light side. This week, not so much. There’s a bit of Pixar, some Marvel Comics movie news, news of TV series and a TV special, and of course, yet more remake discussion. There’s also some rumor-mongering about Star Wars and James Bond, and a double dose of Keanu Reeves news. Because apparently there’s no such thing as too much Keanu.

News Bites: Crouching and Crossing

News Bites LogoFriday means two things: the weekend is almost here, and the weekly News Bites are here. This week’s a little on the light side (after a few heavy weeks), although there’s some TV schedule news I’m holding in reserve until I can sort through it all. What’s left is curiously mostly sequel and reboot news — but then, that’s not all that unusual. So to see what’s going on this week, keep reading. Continue reading

News Bites: Downeys and Dragons

News Bites LogoIt’s Friday morning, and that means another batch of news bites. This turned out to be a fairly busy week in Hollywood, with a whole lot of movie news coming to light. There’s a big mess of Marvel news, a touch of Turtle news, a dash of Disney, and an assortment of news on other major film operations. What there isn’t, strangely enough, is the need for a rumors section this week. Everything is relatively solid, at least what I came across. I’m sure there’s some random speculation out there, but I only came across a few items that come under that header, and they’re all tied to more definite news.

So for once, we can have a Friday without any major rumor-mongering. Read on! Continue reading

News Bites: Interstellar Cinderella

News Bites LogoGood morning and happy Friday, everyone. It’s time once again for the News Bites. This week, there’s some casting news of both the confirmed and tentative varieties, the usual hubbub about Transformers and Turtles, a little bit about Disney, a little bit of Marvel, and the continued inability of terrorists to kill John McClane.

So if you want to know what’s going on, keep reading! Continue reading

News Bites: Guardians and Good Grief

News Bites LogoComing in a bit late today, but still technically Friday morning, at least in my time zone, it’s this week’s dose of News Bites. As always there’s a fair amount of superhero movie news and speculation, and some odd film and TV adaptations. There’s news on Martin Scorcese’s next project, and Luc Besson’s as well. So read on for what’s going on. Continue reading

News Bites: Heroes and Heat

News Bites LogoGood morning, folks. Another outage on my internet connection left me unable to post or read for a few days (I’d like to exchange 2013 for a better year, please), but it’s working again in time for this week’s News Bites. Now, given that I missed a few days of browsing the web, it’s certainly possible I missed some interesting news. But what I did find is certainly interesting in its own right. A few more roles being cast for films, yet another remake, a TV series name change, and a rumor debunked while another is seemingly (if unofficially) confirmed. So read on for this week’s news! Continue reading

News Bites: Dory and the Dark Universe

News Bites LogoGood morning folks, it’s time for your weekly bite-sized chunks of entertainment news. This week has some sombre stuff, unfortunately, but it also has some fun with remakes and sequels, and assorted superhero-ish action films. I’ve front-loaded the sad stuff so that it doesn’t bring people down for too long — and if you really want to just skip over it, hit the first bold line. I don’t judge; we’re mostly here to have fun, after all.

However you want to take it, read on for the news. Continue reading
