Of the surprisingly vast array of topics that the new Power Rangers movie brings up, one is the matter of inclusion.

Contrary to the way the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV show portrayed it, teens can’t just gain access to superpowers and giant robotic battle machines and instantly know how to use both of them.

2017 is the year Netflix makes a big statement in the original film realm.

Yesterday, Netflix unveiled the first trailer for War … Continue reading ‘War Machine’ Trailer Reveals Brad Pitt in Netflix’s Darkly Funny War Satire!!! Check It Out!!
The Power Rangers were essentially superheroes before superheroes became a dominant force in film and television.

The closer we get to the first-quarter 2017 release of Dean Israelite‘s Power Rangers, the more nervous I get.

A new image from the upcoming Power Rangers reboot has been unveiled, giving us a fuller look at Elizabeth Banks’ villain Rita Repulsa in the context of the film.

Earth to Echo filmmaker Dean Israelite … Continue reading New ‘Power Rangers’ Image Offers a Colorful Look at Rita Repulsa!! Check It Out!!
Up until today, Lionsgate’s feature film take on the Power Rangers franchise was doing a remarkably (and surprisingly) good job of selling me on their vision.

As Lionsgate and Power Rangers prepare to bring a power-packed panel to New York Comic-Con, some epic new posters have premiered and they reveal more than just powerful poses.

Fans of the original live-action TV series Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers probably know the morphin’ sequence by heart–“It’s Morphin’ Time! Mastodon! Pterodactyl! Triceratops! Sabre-toothed Tiger! Tyrannosaurus!”–but Saban’s new live-action movie version might be changing up the line-up just a bit, at least as far as the design goes. It’s hard to tell just what some of the giant fighting machines known as Zords will be in these … Continue reading ‘Power Rangers’ Zords Revealed in Epic New Posters!! Check Them Out!!
The previous image revealed the full costumes for the new Power Rangers from Dean Israelite’s upcoming film in all their many-colored glory earlier this year, but another new image zooms in on the super suits to reveal a few interesting changes. For starters, they’re not exactly one solid color throughout.
