BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

DC's Black Lightning Show In Development

With Flash, DC's Legends Of Tomorrow and Supergirl to his name, TV producer Greg Berlanti currently holds the keys to DC TV universe in his hands. According to Deadline, that kingdom may have a new superhero addition. Berlanti is developing Black Lightning and is currently pitching it to the US networks.

Black Lightning is heading into develop

The creation of writer Tony Isabella and artist Trevor Von Eeden in 1977, Black Lightning is one of the first black superheroes in the canon. As Jefferson Pierce, his real name, he hails from Metropolis where he works as head teacher of a high school. Appalled at the criminal enterprises at work in his city, he dons the costume of his superhero alter ego to fight for truth, justice and the American way.

According to Deadline, Berlanti has teamed up with The Game and Being Mary Jane's creators Mara Brock Akil and husband Salim Akil to nut out a slightly different storyline. CW’s take, should it come together, will see both his daughter and a star student become embroiled in that shady netherworld. With the stakes high, Pierce is forced to become Black Lightning again.

Expect the influential producer to find a home for this one. He’s also got Archie Comics adaptation Riverdale landing on CW early next year.

Movie Review: #Vacation

Vacation makes me want to take a STAY-cation. Review by Matt Cummings It's not too often that a movie makes me wish film never existed, yet her I am ready to give the newest Vacation all the hate it deserves. And hate on it I will. Grown-up Rusty (Ed Helms) is stuck in a dull marriage to Debbie (Christina Applegate), who's been forced year after year to spend vacation with her family at a cabin in Michigan. When the overly optimistic Rusty realizes his family needs a change, he packs them up for a trip to Walley World, the site of his greatest trip as a teen. But soon, his family begins to encounter difficulties and flat-out disasters that could end their road trip and return Rusty's marriage back to square one. It might surprise our readers to know that someone from our team actually considered walking out of Vacation , and we get to see these films for free. That's how bad our experience became as we sat mesmerized by its 99 minutes of ineptit...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
