10 Celebrities You Probably Had Crushes On If You were Born Before 1990
I was born in 1985, and growing up there were so many family friendly shows available. Not to mention the classic cartoons that most people born 10 years later wouldn't even be able to relate to. If you are in the same generation as I am, you may have had a Super Nintendo or a Gameboy, you may remember cassette tapes and walkman players, you probably had a VCR and a wall of VHS tapes and you probably loved watching shows like Saved by the Bell, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Home Improvement, Family Matters and the entire T.G.I.F. lineup.

The Grapes Of Roth: Tim Roth Says He Is Out Of The MCU
It looks like the expanding MCU has lost another of its big stars, and just as we head into Avengers: Infinity War. Promising to be the team-up of all team-ups, the good and the bad of Marvel are looking to take on the Mad Titan Thanos in the two-part #Avengers ensemble. Basically, it seems like it's now or never for many of the #MCU's forgotten characters, but #TimRoth has confirmed he won't be back as Emil Blonsky.

No More Monkey Business: Matt Reeves Says 'The Batman' Is His New Apes Franchise
It sounds like it is time to stop "monkeying" around, as Matt Reeves is ready to move on from War for the Planet of the Apes and turn his attention to The Batman. Swapping simians for bats, the director is finally on track to unfurl the Dark Knight's wings and bring us the first #Batman solo film since Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. However, although #MattReeves will be putting his own stamp on the DC staple, it sounds like he will be taking some heavy influence from his two Apes films to bring #TheBatman to life.

A 'Titanic' Cock-Up: Remembering The Time That James Cameron Nearly Made A Spider-Man Movie
While we may be currently caught in the web of Tom Holland and the MCU's reboot of Spider-Man, it is easy to forget that the friendly neighborhood hero has been a staple of the Marvel universe for the past 55 years. Most will only think of the Sam Raimi trilogy, which started in 2002, and Marc Webb's "Amazing" series from 2012, but Spidey's history in film stretches back much farther than #SpiderManHomecoming. Jon Watts may be the man behind the current era of Parker and pals, but there was a time when others were spinning a web of ideas round #SpiderMan — in particular, a certain Mr. #JamesCameron.

Cinema Says Goodbye: Celebrity Tributes Pour In For Screen Legend John Hurt
Off the back of a year that was dreadful for celebrity deaths, January 2017 rounds off another month of tragic farewells with a tearful goodbye.

The world of Leonardo DiCaprio dopplegängery is a strange place of Ukrainian news pieces, Olympic archers, and American housewives; however, we may just have found the best #LeonardoDiCaprio twin out there.
