Patrick Ness's Fantasy Novel to be Adapted for Cinema This Year...

Patrick Ness's fantasy novel will be released in movie form this year. The children's book centers around a boy whose mother has terminal cancer, and a storytelling monster. The film adaptation has a slew of big names attached, including actors Liam Neeson, Felicity Jones, and Sigourney Weaver, so if you haven't read this one yet, better pick up a copy in time for the October premiere.



An unflinching, darkly funny, and deeply moving story of a boy, his seriously ill mother, and an unexpected monstrous visitor.

At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth. From the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd-- whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself-- Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined.

'Game of Thrones' Bran Stark all grown up in Season 6 ...

Bran Stark in season 6 of Game of Thrones 
Bran sat out season five, as his character was holed up learning to master his ability to control animals' minds.

The British teenager plays the paralyzed son of Ned and Catelyn Stark, who is able to transport himself into the minds of animals to control them.

Bran was last seen in the season four finale, when he met the Three-Eyed Raven, played by Max von Sydow in the new season.

The latest photo of Bran makes it look like he’s much more determined, maybe even confident, and definitely healthier looking.
"Game of Thrones" returns to HBO this April.

There's so much to look forward in the year 2016 and one of those is a new show titled "Shadowhunters based on the popular book series by Cassandra Clare." With its premiere date nearing, the show isn't wasting any time in capturing the audience's attention through teasers and spoilers.

When her mother is attacked and kidnapped, Clary must join the other Shadowhunters she’s discovered to learn the ways of Shadowhunters and save her mother from the evil Valentine Morgenstern.

Shadowhunters premieres January 12, 2016 on FreeForm (formerly ABC Family).

'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' New Trailer...



As the world crumbles, the Time Master Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) takes matters into his own hands; he travels 150 years into the past to assemble a carefully selected team of heroes and rogues to stop him.


The show will air on January 21 on The CW.The series will also star Casper Crump as returning warlord Vandal Savage - as well as Neal McDonough as HIVE boss Damien Darhk and Mathew Nable as the seemingly-deceased Ra's al Ghul. 

The show has been confirmed for a thirteen episode run - which is flawless for this kind of project and one that I hope we see utilized well going forward. Then character Rip Hunter gives his team a brief pep talk followed by more ass kicking and explosions.
