Netflix confirms live-action ‘Resident Evil’ series for 2022 release

Netflix’s live-action Resident Evil series has been pushed to the background for the time being, with the focus instead falling on the animated Infinite Darkness and Johannes Roberts’ very recent reboot Welcome to Raccoon City.

Unfortunately, the latter flopped at the box office this past weekend after failing to even come within touching distance of $10 million across the five-day holiday frame, so if sequels end up falling by the wayside as a result, then the coast is clear for the episodic spin on the console classic to return to center stage.

A Ryan Reynolds rom-com is flying high on Disney Plus

We all know Ryan Reynolds; actor, producer, arch-nemesis of Hugh Jackman, gin magnate, mobile service provider, soccer team co-owner, director of Match Group and award-winning advertising executive to name just a few of his accomplishments, but his road to the top wasn’t easy.

Reynolds had been toiling away for decades before finally clambering to the summit of the Hollywood mountaintop, with the unstoppable success of Deadpool pushing him over the line. Prior to that, the highest-grossing live-action movie of his entire career was the dismal X-Men Origins: Wolverine, ironically his first time playing Wade Wilson.

The best gifts for ‘Survivor’ fans

Television enthusiasts are currently enjoying the 41st season of the long-running, fan-favorite reality show Survivor. The series puts die-hard contestants up against the elements as they’re stranded on an island and forced to try to outplay, outwit, and outlast the competition.

Survivor debuted on CBS to excited audiences on May 31, 2000, and the first taste of the series was unlike anything viewers had ever seen. Contestants weren’t just put through a series of mental, physical, and emotional challenges⏤they were genuinely forced to survive against the elements. Only certain teams received special items for shelter while others were given nothing. Some competitions gave teams provisions while others received not a single morsel.

Mahershala says he has to earn his place as the new Blade

When you think of Blade, it wouldn’t be unfair to suggest that rapper-turned-actor Sticky Fingaz isn’t the first name that comes to mind. Hell, there’s no doubt plenty of people to have seen the entire Wesley Snipes trilogy wouldn’t even be aware of the TV show that lasted for a single season before taking a stake through the heart.

Fans were shocked when Mahershala Ali was trotted on stage at 2019’s San Diego Comic-Con to announce that the Daywalker was being rebooted as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and if you’re looking for someone capable of stepping into Snipes’ ass-kicking shoes, then a two-time Academy Award winner isn’t a bad place to start.

‘Death Note’ character used to encourage voting in this recent election

It seems that anime and politics are continuing to go hand in hand with each other. Earlier this month, Rep. Paul A. Gosar (R-Ariz.) was censured over an edit of Attack on Titan that involved President Joe Biden and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y). A bit more recently, Kanji Yamanouchi, Ambassador and Consul General of Japan in New York, took to social media to shred on guitar to Demon Slayer’s opening song to welcome the recent Anime NYC convention.

Now, it looks like it’s time to bring Death Note into the mix. The Observatorio Democrático Juventud Honduras (Democratic Youth Observatory Honduras) NGO posted an ad featuring Light Yagami from the series to encourage people to vote in Honduras’ presidential election. The ad, which was published to the organization’s Facebook page, reads: “The Power Is In Your Hands.”

Thus, anime merchandise has become somewhat of a trending commodity for people trying to keep up with the latest in pop culture, prompting many to run to online stores to purchase items plastered with the faces of today’s biggest anime stars.

Of all the anime to take over the West in recent years, Naruto has had one of the longest and most popular influences on American culture. A close second to Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball Z, Naruto revolves around the young shinobi Naruto Uzumaki as he develops his ninja skills against powerful adversaries on his quest to become Hokage.
