I’ve never been more conflicted about an episode of Power Rangers Beast Morphers. This show has never had more energy and a sense of purpose than this episode. The fights have weight, the choreography is ten steps above normal, the emotions are dialed to eleven, and the Rangers are even allowed to have conflict! Every scene builds on one another and the pacing is tight while still allowing the proper emotional beats to land....

Yet at the same time, it has also placed hard limits on what future movies can (or should) do with that concept. The Clue is in the Name The concept behind Predator was simple. Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the biggest, meanest, beefiest mothers in Hollywood movies. The alien Predator’s whole deal is going to alien planets and killing the biggest, meanest, beefiest mothers there. It finds Schwarzenegger. The two play cat and mouse, and over the course of that game, Schwarzenegger loses his comrades in arms, his gear, any contact or support from the government he supposedly serves....

Den of Geek: Most Monster-of-the-Week shows ultimately find their overall arc. How is Primal going to solidify in season two? Genndy Tartakovsky: Season one is about survival and the brutality of the world, the tragedy of the world where some things must die so that other things can live. Even though we’re obviously heading into a more civilized age, the brutality is, in a way, worse because now they’re doing it consciously....

Prison Break Season 5 Episode 9 Why do fans love Prison Break? Is it for the titular prison breaks? Perhaps, but the only reasons those even register is because they’re deeply rooted in one thing. Michael and Lincoln’s relationship. The two would do anything for each other and the lengths Michael went to in order to save his brother proved how strong that relationship was. The biggest problem with the finale is that relationship is barely on display....

So begins one of Raiders of the Lost Ark’s most pivotal scenes. At its core, the scene where Harrison Ford’s Indy meets with two government stuffed shirts is an exposition dump, one intended to catch the viewer up on magical arks, occultist Nazis, and God’s wrath inside of five minutes. But it is written so elegantly, and staged so thoughtfully, that it elevates the most functional mechanics of Hollywood storytelling into something greater....

But this Cinderella owes everything to the other soot-stained girls, animated and otherwise, who wished with all their hearts for decades before her. How does the new adaptation compare to the modern fairy tales, animated classics, and another fairy tale riff with an outstanding Stephen Sondheim tune? Check out our ranking of Cinderella adaptations, from worst to best. 10. A Cinderella Story (2004) This cult classic is a clever retelling, with peak early-aughts casting of Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray as the star-crossed, Cyrano de Bergerac-inspired lovers: Sam toils away at her late father’s Southern California diner, under the heel of a delightful Jennifer Coolidge as her vain stepmother, while Austin is the closest thing to high school royalty as the quarterback with a sensitive side....

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness explores a time of change for its main characters. Years removed from the Raccoon City disaster that first brought them together, Leon S. Kennedy (Nick Apostolides) and Claire Redfield (Stephanie Panisello) are still leading the fight against bio-organic weapons but from different angles. Set after Resident Evil 4 but before the Kijuju incident in Resident Evil 5, Leon has embraced his role as President Graham’s top security man after saving his daughter from Los Iluminados....

There’s no doubt that Resident Evil is one of the most important series in the history of the horror genre. Along with other classic series, such as Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, and many others, the Resident Evil series has helped define what horror games can be and has continued to find new ways of scaring gamers for two decades. Early next year, we’ll even get a whole new Resident Evil experience in virtual reality....

However, there’s one particular moment in the interview that has caught the attention of many horror gaming fans, including Silent Hill: Homecoming and Her Story writer, Sam Barlow: If you’re interested in the full context of that quote, you can jump to about 13 minutes into the video interview, but the basic summary is that Mikami feels slightly embarrassed by those who praise the original Resident Evil‘s fixed camera angles and tank controls....

For those who never played a Saints Row game, the goal of Insurance Fraud is pretty simple. You walk into traffic, try to get hit by a car, and, based on the severity of your ragdoll physics-fuelled collision, you eventually earn some money. Players can increase the money they earn via hangtime bonuses and by hitting multiple vehicles without splatting on the ground. While nobody in their right mind could ever recommend doing that in real life, in Saints Row, the activity is all in good fun and is often a pretty good way to earn some extra cash....

Schitt’s Creek Season 6 Episode 14 The folks behind CBC and Pop TV’s Schitt’s Creek knew that we were going to cry regardless of how we said goodbye to the Roses, so why not do it at a wedding? David and Patrick’s nuptials were, of course, the perfect sendoff for the Roses, both from the town of Schitt’s Creek and from our televisions. Yet the fact that David’s dream day opens with a downpour is what really encapsulates this tender show’s ethos: making the best out of a shitty situation....

So it was a genuine surprise to see the Abomination (as a CG creation, not in the form of Roth) pop up last year in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, given that no one’s heard from him in years and The Incredible Hulk doesn’t really get referenced in the MCU these days. But typically for Marvel, that cameo laid the groundwork for the full-fledged return of Roth as Emil Blonsky in Marvel’s next Disney+ series, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law....

Premieres Daniel Isn’t Real – June 1st The next generation of horror truly arrives with this surprisingly entertaining entry into the ‘imaginary friend’ genre, as Miles Robbins – son of Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins – and Patrick Schwarzenegger (you can probably guess who his dad is) battle it out to be the owner of a very real human body. Daniel isn’t messing around when it comes to violent demonic possession, so how will Miles banish his evil childhood companion for good?...

Le Mans ’66 and Judy have the biopics covered, while Don’t Let Go and Darlin’ are some fast horror fare. If you’re in the mood for action? Terminator: Dark Fate will be along in the back half of the month. Here’s a comprehensive look ahead at September on Sky Cinema… New Premieres The Good Liar – 4th September Black and Blue – 5th September This thriller stars Naomie Harris as a cop who accidentally films the killing of a young drug dealer on her body cam....

“The Pandemic Special” looks at a lot of the same themes, but with a newfound level of sincerity and tenderness. Other world events have both fueled and affected many storylines throughout the series, but it feels like the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic have made an impact on Parker and Stone in a more significant way than anything in the past. This past season has hinted at how the world needs ‘tegrity, but now South Park genuinely means it....

The mission of the USS Cerritos is to do the jobs other Starfleet ships can’t; following up with all sorts of minutiae and boring outer space logistics, long after the Enterprise or the Defiant has warped out. But whether it’s Lower Decks or Picard or Discovery or Strange New Worlds, the mission of hardcore Trek fans is the same: Pause the screen and see what deep-cut Easter eggs got slipped in this time!...

The final season of the Paramount+ series will not only see Patrick Stewart take a final bow as the iconic Captain Picard but also bring to a conclusion the stories of The Next Generation crew. LeVar Burton (Geordi La Forge), Michael Dorn (Worf), Jonathan Frakes (William Riker), Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher), Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi), and Brent Spiner (Data) star alongside Stewart in season 3, and they’re joined by Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine) and Michelle Hurd (Raffaela Musiker) who are the only actors returning from season 2....

Since the release of A New Hope in 1977, we’ve seen plenty of awesome ships on screen, on book covers, and in comic book panels. Who can forget the first time they laid eyes on an X-wing as it prepared to attack the Death Star? Or the Millennium Falcon, as it made its escape from Tatooine? You can’t possibly forget the cry of a TIE fighter once you’ve heard it....

Obi-Wan and Leia find themselves in the Inquisitors’ clutches this week. Their escape from Fortress Inquisitorius is a classic Star Wars adventure with some spooky reveals about what exactly sits at the heart of the Inquisitors’ command base. Meanwhile, Leia proves she’s almost as good at holding up to Imperial interrogation at 10 as she will be in A New Hope. Below are all the Star Wars references, easter eggs, and cameos we spotted in episode 4....
