With a total gross of just under $7 millionTrick or Treatis the kind of movie many directors today are trying to capture. They don’t want to mimic this film. Nor do they want to copy it. They just want their films to have an 80s vibe. That coolness that the films of nearly 40 years ago seem to effortlessly have. The 1980s have come back in a very big way. So big in fact that the times we are living in almost feel like that time....

Will we ever see Michael Rooker return as Yondu inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3or any other Marvel Cinematic Universe movie or TV Show? It seems a whole lot less likely, given some recent comments made by James Gunn. Yondu died inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. But not a whole lot of major characters who die in this universe stay dead, so it always seemed possible that Star-Lord’s father figure could return at some point down the line....

Superherocinema is ailing at the moment. Many films are performing poorly, raising suggestions that there is some form of fatigue among the fanbase, or that the golden age has come to an end. It could also be argued that these stories are not being presented through the right medium. Perhaps now would be a better time for both Marvel and DC to only focus on the television landscape. After all, this arena has never been disappointing for the genre in the past....

Hollywood has a nasty habit of chewing up child actors and spitting them back out into a world that, in their eyes, seems to reject them. As we’ve seen inthe recent and popular documentaryQuiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, Hollywood needs to do a better job at protecting and supporting its youngest members....
