Marvel got into the holiday spirit over the 4th of the July by honoring the most patriotic of all superheroes—Captain America. Beginning with Steve Rogers first appearance in "Captain America, Comics #1" in March 1941 when the young Rogers tried to join the American effort against the Axis powers in World War II (as you probably know, Rogers failed to pass the physical requirements, but once he joined Operation: Rebirth, he'd never fail a physical test again) and taking us all the way to 1964,...

Suicide Squad‘s Popularity is Insane, Data Suggests
From a non-scientific point of view, when your job is to write about film for a living, you can get a sense of which projects are generating a lot of excitement. This comes from your usual suspects; how many page views your post gets, how many Likes and shares on Facebook, how much action on Twitter, etc. While this is hardly a rock solid predictor of how well a film will do, it's at least good for guesswork. For every film that's not ...

But first,...
