Ranging from oldies, foreign ballads, jazz compositions, and pure instrumentals, the variety is stunning and can keep you exploring the track list of the series for days. We’ve decided to narrow all of the end credit songs down to the best 15 in the series, listed in chronological order of airing. Enjoy! Season 1 Episode 4: Meadowlands “Look on Down from the Bridge” by Mazzy Star The nice father-son moment between Tony and A....
Back in the mid-70s, a string of gritty Southern-fried horror films and grim action dramas, from Macon County Line to Poor Pretty Eddie to the Walking Tall series, found huge success at American drive-ins. Much of that success was fueled in no small part by the irresistible tagline, “Based on a True Story,” a claim touted by most of them. Most of them were not, in fact, based on true stories, but tell Northern audiences any crazy shit you like about some nasty goings on in the South and by golly they’ll believe it....
Over the past 20 years, Black Adam has been radically transformed and shifted into a more complicated character and figure in the DC landscape rather than just “Shazam villain,” with a whole cast of colorful characters, and even his own super-family that have added to his mythology, just like Batman and Superman. But what’s fascinating is the long journey it took to get there. Superhero families as an idea really began with Fawcett Comics, the original home and publisher of the Shazam world of characters in the 1940s and ‘50s, before DC eventually acquired them....
At the time, the selection of Alan Taylor as director for Thor: The Dark World was an auspicious sign. While film was never his primary medium, he had worked on some of the hottest dramatic television properties in recent years in HBO’s The Sopranos and AMC’s Mad Men, and, most notably, was a key director for the hottest show of the era, HBO’s Game of Thrones. Indeed, the American helmer, Taylor, was an intriguing fit, especially after the majestic movie template was set in the previous film by legendary Shakespearean stalwart Kenneth Branagh....
Each time a player kills an enemy or opens a chest, they are greeted by an explosion of colors that indicates the quality (and relative power level) of an item. This rainbow of rarity helps gamers immediately identify which loot they should prioritize, with the orange “Legendary” items often shooting to the top of the list. Not only do those ultra-rare items typically deal more damage than other weapons and spells, but many of them feature unique abilities that set them apart from your garden variety shotguns and sniper rifles....
With Dick Grayson at the center of the dark and gritty DC Universe show (which is likely to make its way to HBO Max for Season 3 as DC Universe winds down its original video content), it was only a matter of time before his one-time lover part-time teammate Barbara Gordon turned up, but it was still a wonderful shock to have her arrival to the show confirmed. Not only will Barbara Gordon become a major player in the upcoming series but the team will also head to Gotham where the ex-Bat-sidekick has a new job....
She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan Type: NovelPublisher: Tor BooksRelease date: July 20 Den of Geek says: Blending a little bit of magic with historical intrigue, this novel has garnered praise from the likes of Samantha Shannon (The Priority of the Orange Tree) and A. K. Larkwood (The Unspoken Name). If it’s anything like those it’ll be a hefty but easy-to-read epic. Publisher’s summary: “I refuse to be nothing…” In 1345, China lies under harsh Mongol rule....
Leviathan Falls by James S.A. Corey Type: NovelPublisher: OrbitRelease date: Nov. 30Den of Geek says: Does The Expanse need an introduction? The hit series (also made into a hit TV show) comes to an end this month after a ten-year run. Publisher’s summary: The Laconian Empire has fallen, setting the thirteen hundred solar systems free from the rule of Winston Duarte. But the ancient enemy that killed the gate builders is awake, and the war against our universe has begun again....
Train to Busan was not just a monster hit in its native land but amassed an international following as well, along with critical acclaim across the board, making a sequel inevitable. Throwing another group of characters on a train would be silly, so director Yeon made the decision to create an entirely new story set in the first movie’s universe–thus the awkward U.S. title Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula. But the title isn’t the only thing that’s contrived about Peninsula....
Trigger Point concluded with a tense, pacey and well-directed episode that revealed the bomber’s identity and closed the case. Wash’s nightmare month ended, finally giving her little ponytail a chance to rest. Along the way, she’d lost her colleague, her brother and her bit on the side, and had only managed to stop about fifty percent of the bombs from going off, but at least she could draw a line under it....
The show is landing weekly so if you find yourself starved of glossy true crime drama with an A-list cast while you wait for new episodes to drop, well, we’ve got your back. Here are the must-watch dramas based on real life cases to get your teeth into next. Dirty John (Netflix) True crime nuts who are also Podcast people may well have first heard about the case of conman ‘Dirty’ John Meehan in the Podcast of the same name....
Here is a list of just a handful of the movies to look forward to over the next 12 months. M3GAN January 6 If you think January is going to be a complete wasteland at the multiplex then you obviously don’t know about M3GAN yet. Defying traditional expectations for the month being the studios’ dumping grounds, Universal Pictures and producers Jason Blum and James Wan are beginning 2023 right with this wickedly campy horror movie....
Grossing an estimated $90.1 million this weekend, Venom 2’s box office is a major win for Sony Pictures as well as theatrical exhibitors. The latter is especially eager to rebuild confidence in the moviegoing experience after previous anxiety among movie studios led to a reshuffle of this fall’s release schedule—including Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which was originally supposed to open on Sept. 24. In fact, Sony apparently lowballed expectations by projecting the film to open around the $65 million range this weekend....
This isn’t the first time that director Miguel Sapochnik has made technical and creative choices that result in episodes that are almost impossible for some viewers to see. The season 8 Game of Thrones episode “The Long Night,” which was also directed by Sapochnik, was similarly maligned for its lack of lighting. Even though IGN shared tips on how to enhance your viewing experience for episodes like this by changing brightness settings and watching at off-peak times, there’s only so much the average viewer can do when episodes are made this dark on purpose....
Vikings Season 5 Episode 15 “We will torture you to see if you are telling the truth.” In an episode with all the characteristics of a season finale, Vikings hits all its marks and delivers a stellar tale of the shifting fortunes of three men who wish to be king and the people over which they rule. Losing Bishop Heahmund on the field of battle deprives fans of one the series’ more charismatic characters, but it’s the disappearance of Lagertha that forces viewers to acknowledge that the end may be near for the beloved shieldmaiden....
Vikings Season 6 Episode 15 “I have other ambitions, unfinished business.” Vikings continues to deftly interweave the multiple story threads that have long been a staple of the series, and whether these connections are driven by characters, action, or visuals, they provide a deeper layer of meaning within this elaborate saga. From the images of Katia and Gunnhild wearing all white to the emotionally disturbed actions of Kjetill Flatnose and Prince Oleg, “All At Sea” maintains these exquisitely subtle narrative touches as one set of conflicts are put to rest and new ones begin to brew....
For as long as he’s been in the public eye, though, in a career that’s spanned 28 films, for all that’s been written, for all the jibes and interpretations, an awful lot of questions remain. Tops among them is where in the hell did he come from originally? That is, where in the hell did the idea for something that looked and acted like Godzilla come from? It would be very easy to say 1954’s Gojira can be traced back to the fire-breathing dragons of mythology....
Warrior Season 2 Episode 10 After the brutal depiction of San Francisco’s Riot of 1877 in the previous episode, the Warrior Season 2 finale feels more like an epilogue. There’s lots of ruminating over drinks, a few cliffhangers to tease Season 3, and one long awaited fight. Since Cinemax abandoned its original programming, this may be the final episode of Warrior unless some other network picks it up. Hopefully, Warrior finds new life somewhere else because Season 2 leaves us hanging and wanting more....
The new series is titled We Baby Bears and will follow the Bears of the original series when they were younger. However, the bears will be going on different sorts of adventures then we saw in the flashback episodes of the original series. According to Animation Magazine, The Bears will use their cardboard box to travel to these imaginative new worlds as well. The style of this series can be seen in the first poster for it, with an extremely magical look to it....
Westworld Season 2 Episode 4 “You only live as long as the last person who remembers you.” These are the words uttered by a host to human prey in just one of the plethora of timelines created by tonight’s episode. In fact, it is easy to dismiss much of what occurs to Grace (the Raj’s runaway guest) when she runs into the Ghost Tribe during such an otherwise overstuffed hour-plus of intrigue....
