Jimmy McGill’s destiny as Saul is calling. Review by Brandon Wolfe The one-two punch of “Uno” and “Mijo” could have been alternately called “Goodman Begins.” These episodes really lay down, almost a little too neatly, the quick succession of events that turned hapless Jimmy McGill into the Saul Goodman we knew on Breaking Bad . In “Uno,” we saw how Saul began compromising his ethics out of sheer desperation. Now “Mijo” shows just how Saul developed his unique rapport with the criminal element. When Tuco and his goons (including fellow Breaking Bad returnee No-Doze) haul Saul and the skater boys out to the desert, Saul has to use that silver tongue of his to not only save his own life, but the skaters as well, no mean feat since they made the grievous error of referring to Tuco’s beloved abuelita as “biznatch.” That Saul is able to not only talk his way out of the desert alive, but negotiate the fates of his cronies down from violent death to one broken leg apiece with a comple

Here's how the biggest entertainment news of 2015 affects the next five years. Story by Matt Cummings If you're feeling a little shell-shocked over the huge news about Spider-man finally joining the MCU , get in line. These days, comic book news is hitting us faster than a punch from The Flash and harder than The Hulk. With word reaching us about Spider-man, the entire Marvel release schedule has been upended , but it's also left a high-profile release completely off the list. Truth is, every Sony Pictures production of a Spider-man related property is now off the books, replaced with what appears to be a single universe shared between Sony and Marvel. But, we'd be in error if we didn't mention that there's still other comic book universes out there, starting with your friends at DC. Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice is happening next year, and DC themselves are moving forward with a huge slate of films, both team-ups and individual stories.

Here's how the biggest news of 2015 will affect Marvel Studios' release schedule for the next 5 years. Story by Matt Cummings As we reported on Monday night , fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe just got the biggest news they could have hoped for in Sony Pictures' decision to share Spider-man and his villains with Marvel Studios. The deal is perhaps the biggest news of 2015, and could stand as the biggest entertainment news of the year, even with stories like Avengers: Age of Ultron and Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice in various stages of production. The questions on everyone's mind relative to Spider-man is multi-faceted: how will he fit in to the MCU? Will he appear in Captain America: Civil War ? And how does this affect Marvel Studios' release schedule as it was announced back in October 2014? While the first two questions are TBD, we do know the answer to the third question, because the other news regarding Spider-man is just as big. Not o

Marvel and Sony learn to share and share alike. By Brandon Wolfe Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios have struck a deal to jointly collaborate on the future of the Spider-Man character and franchise. Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige will produce the next batch of films featuring the webhead with just-departed Sony studio head Amy Pascal. The tenets of the deal stipulate that Spider-Man’s next onscreen appearance will as part of a film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe , followed by starring in his own film for Sony Pictures, to be released on July 28, 2017. This deal allows Sony to retain the rights to the character while also giving Marvel both access to the character as well as influence in his usage and direction, probably the closest to an “everybody wins” solution as was possible. Matt Tolmach and Avi Arad, the producers of the recent Amazing Spider-Man films, will executive-produce. Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company said: “Spider-M

Michael Myers is in the shop for a recalibration. By Brandon Wolfe The Hollywood Reporter is Hollywood reporting that Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, writers of the final four (so far) installments in the Saw series, have been hired to write the script for what is being called a "recalibration" of the Halloween franchise. Malek Akkad, son of longtime Halloween executive producer Moustapha Akkad, will be producing along with Matt Stein. The big question here, obviously, is what in God's holy name does "recalibration" mean? One would think it's simply a sly way to say "reboot" without using that tired old chestnut, but Bloody Disgusting has confirmed that the film will be neither a remake of the original classic nor a sequel to Rob Zombie's reboot films from 2007 and 2009 (it will also not be produced in 3D, as previously rumored). Unless it's a new installment in the previous, pre-Zombie timeline, that doesn't leave mu
