Harlan Coben S Stay Close Ending Explained

“And that is it,” laughed Dave to Megan on their long-awaited wedding day, “there are definitely no more secrets.” Not quite, Dave. You may now know all about your new wife’s hidden past, but there’s still the matter of you and daughter Kayleigh inadvertently tag-teaming to murder a man that neither of you knew you’d killed. That’s how next-level the secrets are in a Harlan Coben thriller – even the murderers don’t know they did it....

Harley Quinn Episode 11 Review Harley Quinn Highway

Harley Quinn Episode 11 Review With Birds of Prey being released this weekend, it seems only right that the newest addition to DC Universe’s adult animated series is the most action packed yet. Opening with a dark slickness that seems more suited to the much lauded DC animated universe movies, “Harley Quinn Highway” is an interesting look into the mind of Poison Ivy that does more to define her relationship with Harley than we’ve seen so far this season....

Hbo Max New Releases February 2021

Judas and the Black Messiah premieres on HBO Max this Feb. 12 and is by every indication the kind of film that awards shows go gaga over. Both Daniel Kaluuya and and Lakeith Stanfield look to be at the top of their respective games in this story about Black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton and the FBI that wants to take him down. Will this have the same rhetorical oomph on the small screen?...

Hellbound Monsters Explained

What Are the Hellbound Creatures? While the Hulk-like killers get most of the press, there are actually two kinds of supernatural entities in Hellbound: the “angels” and the “demons.” The “angels” are the creatures that deliver people’s death sentences. They manifest as a giant, floating face hovering ominously in the air, giving their targets an exact time for their deaths as well as the news that they are bound for hell....

His Dark Materials Episode 4 Review The Best Episode Yet

1.4 Armour If the careful foundation-laying of the first three episodes had left you feeling at all distanced from or frustrated by this story, then Armour’s here to yank you into a giant bear hug and surround you with fun, action, excitement and promise. This was the most enjoyable and accessible episode yet. With the uncluttered, clear-cut plot of a videogame level (meet mystical gatekeeper, solve riddle, receive magical object, recruit allies, unlock achievement), a ticking clock thanks to the spy fly device, and the introduction of a couple of welcome archetypes (the rascal adventurer and the down-on-his-luck warrior), it was an entertaining hour of forward momentum....

House Of The Dragon What Rickard Stark Means For The Game Of Thrones Spinoff

The latest trailer for House of the Dragon, HBO’s first attempt at a Game of Thrones prequel, features a lot of elements we’ve come to be familiar with throughout this lengthy marketing campaign. There are many shots of dragons, Matt Smith in a Barbie doll wig, and gratuitous violence all around. Roughly 20 second into the trailer, however, even the most casual Game of Thrones viewer heard a name that likely made them sit up and take note: Rickard Stark....

How A Legendary Marvel Creator Inspired The New Beavis And Butt Head

It seems weird to put a spoiler alert on an article about Beavis and Butt-Head, but then again nothing about the pair’s success has been expected. After debuting 30 years ago in Mike Judge’s animated short “Frog Baseball,” the troublesome teens first found fame when that cartoon was aired on MTV’s legendary animation anthology Liquid Television. A spinoff quickly ensued, and the rest is pop culture history. On the heels of the recent — and excellent — feature film Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, the guys are back in a new series that is now streaming on Paramount+....

How Charlie Watts Defined The Rolling Stones Sound A Musical Exploration

There is an incident recounted in the 2010 memoir Life, by Richards and James Fox, about a mid-1980s party which hits the nail on the head. Mick drunk-dialed Charlie’s hotel room in the middle of the night to invite him to a party which was raging. Jagger demanded to know “Where’s my drummer?” Watts showed up. He’d showered, shaved, put on a suit and a tie, beautiful shoes, freshly shined, and “you could smell his cologne....

How Cult Of Chucky Keeps The Child S Play Franchise Fresh

The first Child’s Play is a horror masterpiece. Yes, you know it is all about a killer doll, but it is so well put together it ranks up there with any of the genre classics of the era. The 2nd film wasn’t as innovative as the original, but it still played well with the characters and after the 3rd film, things took a weird and delightfully wicked turn. With the new installments, things have veered a bit back to traditional horror standards, while keeping with that deranged Chucky humor....

How Dickinson S Story Of Creative Isolation Hits Different During Quarantine

“If people haven’t felt or didn’t feel like they could relate to Emily in Season 1, maybe they can now after having lived a very similar lifestyle to her in isolation,” says star Hailee Steinfeld, who plays young, passionate poet Emily Dickinson. “This is a show about her dealing with the struggle of remaining creative and feeling free when you’re confined to your bedroom, or your apartment, or your house and feeling unseen and unheard by the people who are closest to you....

How Fear Street Part 1 Tricks The Scream Generation

An instantly iconic moment in genre cinema arrived during the opening scene of horror classic Scream back in 1996 when Drew Barrymore, one of the most in-demand young actresses at the time, met her unfortunate, gruesome fate at the end of the Ghostface killer’s knife. No one expected it. What kind of filmmaker would have the stones to murder their biggest star before the story even really began? The legendary Wes Craven, that’s who....

How Halo Infinite Became The Franchise S Own Star Wars The Force Awakens

From the opening space mission, it’s clear that Halo Infinite wants its 30+ year old fandom who bought the original Xbox two decades ago to feel nostalgic for the days of “The Silent Cartographer,” funny Cortana quips, and LAN parties. Overall, the game succeeds as a legacy sequel full of easter eggs and callbacks, even if at times it seems like the story wants to deconstruct the legend of Master Chief, show how it’s imperfect, and reveal the scars left behind after the fall of Cortana....

How Marcia Lucas Saved Raiders Of The Lost Ark S Ending

No, I’m not talking about the scene in which the supernatural force inside the Ark of the Covenant melts the Nazis’ faces, or even the long, ominous final shot of the Ark being packaged away in some nondescript government warehouse—we talk about those plenty. I’m referring to the final scene between our hero, Dr. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford), and his partner-in-adventure Marion (Karen Allen). In the Raiders denouement, Marion meets a grumpy Indy on the steps of a Washington D....

How Moon Knight Almost Tied Into Thor Love And Thunder

Gods have always been part of the MCU. Wakandans thank Bast and Sekhmet, Captain America assured Black Widow that “There’s only one God,” and the Celestials shown in Guardians of the Galaxy and Eternals create and destroy worlds. But without question, the series most concerned with deities has been Thor. Since the first film, Thor has dealt with not only the titular god of thunder, but also the All-Father Odin, the trickster god Loki, and the goddess of death Hela....

How Star Wars The Clone Wars First Episode Showed The Darker Side Of The Jedi

“Ambush,” the first episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, opens with a simple question: who is stronger, an army of droids, or a single Jedi Master? Well, when that Jedi Master is Yoda, fans can be pretty sure of the answer, and “Ambush” delights in that certainty. The episode is an action-packed, droid-busting romp, with a short interlude for Yoda’s serene Jedi wisdom. It’s an episode unlikely to be accused of being deep....

A new trailer for the show teases that the titular heroes, whose squad of clone misfits is literally referred to as “the Bad Batch,” will end up at odds with their new masters, specifically Grand Moff Tarkin, who wants them wiped out. True to form, the Bad Batch aren’t about to just stand there and let it happen. It seems that they’re off on a rip-roaring adventure after their fallout with the Empire....

Nobody, and yet here we are, finally getting a follow up to Green Lantern: The Animated Series. For those of you who don’t remember (and my god, why would you?
