I’m pretty much game for anything written by Cullen Bunn, therefore it should come as no shock that The Unsound #1 would make its way onto my desk. Always creepy and a little twisted, his horror stories tend to be dependable sources of entertainment and each comic series unique.

This one finds a nurse making her way to her first day at work at a mental institution. But as she makes her way there, we see the world outside is just as dark, twisted, and suffering as anything that could be inside the hospital. That is, until we see what is inside.

In 2015, the holiday comedy Daddy’s Home really surprised us all by becoming a hit at the box office. Obviously, the film really resonated with audiences, and of course, Paramount put a sequel on the fast track. Though how do you take a film about a biological father and a stepfather (played by Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell) competing for their children’s love a step further? Well, you bring the titular characters’ fathers into the picture. Wahlberg and Ferrell both have excellent chemistry, as we have seen in The Other Guys and the first Daddy’s Home. Now, their characters’ fathers will join in on the fun.

The first trailer for Daddy’s Home 2 has arrived and it is our first look at the characters’ fathers — played by Mel Gibson and John Lithgow — joining in on the family celebration. Check out the new trailer here below.
