Yet when we sit down with West, as well as actors Brittany Snow and Martin Henderson, to discuss their new film, X, West has a small bone to pick with the shape of modern horror movies. “I took a break from making horror movies,” West explains. “I made seven of them in a row, so I decided I don’t want to repeat myself… and I found myself directing television for a while and having a great time....
The details come from the Xbox PR via GamesBeat editor Jeff Grubb, who shared a screengrab of the Xbox Series X pre-order details on Twitter: This tweet pretty much sums it all up: Even Xbox couldn’t help but take a shot at Sony, responding to the unruly PS5 pre-order process over Twitter and promising fans that they’ll “know the exact time pre-orders start” for the Xbox Series X and Series S ahead of time....
But not every Friday the Thirteenth is unfortunate, no matter how much blood gets spilled. For example, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter was very lucky. Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter was supposed to close the franchise begun by the 1980 low budget proto-slasher movie Friday the 13th, which was directed by Sean S. Cunningham, written by Victor Miller and was separated by no degrees from Kevin Bacon. But it wasn’t so lucky....
The thing about cheat codes is that they’re rarely just about the “cheat.” Yes, there’s a certain joy to becoming invincible, unlocking new items, or just skipping a few levels, but the thing that separates the best cheat codes from an endless selection of similar cheats is the way they would often go on to define the games they were in to such a degree that it almost feels stranger to think of playing those games without cheats enabled....
Video games are no different. There are so many great Bomberman games out there, but the series will forever be stained by the gritty, post-apocalyptic reboot, Bomberman: Act Zero. There are ten major Tekken fighting games, but even its fanbase needs to be reminded that Nina Williams once starred in her own adventure. Even Donkey Kong Jr. got a random NES game designed to teach you math. So many video game series have their own black sheep titles that are often only remembered by the unfortunate few....
In a franchise seemingly devoid of many traditional gameplay hooks, the thrill of inviting that one villager you’ve been looking for to your Animal Crossing home regularly ranks high among the best moments in gaming. Anyone who has spent any time with these games will waste no time telling you about their favorite villagers and the way they’ll always remember the time they spent with them. There’s no way you’ll be able to convince those fans that anyone but their favorite villagers are the best villagers in Animal Crossing, we humbly suggest these 20 icons rank high among the greatest neighbors in franchise history....
It’s odd to think of a video game franchise eventually being lost to time. After all, the very idea of a game becoming a franchise means that it obviously was a big enough deal at one point to be worthy of follow-ups. Yet, history has shown that it’s surprisingly easy for a series to just vanish. Some fell off the radar due to bad sales or a few bad entries, but others vanished from our collective conscious for no good reason at all....
Regardless of how you feel about this children’s TV classic, the Teletubbies have certainly provided us with some weird moments over the years. Let’s activate our antennae and take a look at our tummy screens as we relive these surreal Teletubbies appearances “again, again!” When an episode got banned Back in 1997, one of the original episodes of the Teletubbies featured a section called The Lion and The Bear, in which a cut-out lion on wheels chases a cut-out bear on wheels (voiced by none other than British sitcom royalty Penelope Keith)....
These films took inspiration from authentic folk magic for their various spells and rituals which, sadly, means they frequently feature real animal slaughter. However, the human actors were put through the wringer too, from being set on fire and thrown around to getting their mouths and other orifices stuffed with bugs, snakes and whatever else would fit, ready to be shot out in projectile streams of green goo. On the upper end of the genre scale, Shaw Brothers Studios produced psychedelic nightmares of bug-eating and Buddhism; the latter because, often, a laser-shooting monk adorned with swastikas and scrolls would rock up to send the evil forces back to the beyond....
But I kind of missed the MCU proper. Well, this week, with the help of Flint, Deke, Tess, and Enoch, SHIELD is able to open a gate back home. But it isn’t easy, and not everyone survives. Last week, we were left with the reveal that Flint and his rock control powers would be able to get the Agents of SHIELD back home. This week, Flint is able to build the monolith for SHIELD and use the gate Fitz created to open a gate through time and space....
Agents of SHIELD Season 5 Episode 12 It’s hard to believe that there have been one hundred episodes of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. It seems like just yesterday that Jeff Loeb hit the stage at San Diego Comic Con in his Coulson Lives t-shirt and introduced the cast of Marvel’s inaugural TV series. One hundred episodes later, Marvel has turned a cast of unknowns into some of the most beloved characters in the MCU....
Season 1 of the Disney+ series Andor is coming to a close, with episode 12 marking the end of this chapter of Cassian Andor’s (Diego Luna) story. So far this season, we’ve seen Cassian slowly become the Rebel we know from Rogue One as well as a glimpse of the growing Rebellion against the Empire. Meanwhile, the ISB and the Empire have proven to be formidable opponents, as their officers show little mercy in their singular goal of galaxy-wide obedience....
Cruise is currently filming Mission: Impossible 7 at Warner Bros. studios in Leavesden, which is apparently where the rant took place. The movie has already stalled twice this year due to various issues associated with the ongoing pandemic, and the 58-year-old actor has now reportedly taken it upon himself to personally enforce the rules so that filming can continue without further delays. This has included hiring an old cruise ship to group the crew together in a safety zone at a cost of around $675,000....
Tom King and Clay Mann’s Batman/Catwoman kicked off its complex thread of mysteries earlier this month. In the present, the Bat and the Cat set out to search for Andrea Beaumont’s missing son, while an older Selina Kyle pays a friend a visit in the future, with the first issue concluding with the return of killer vigilante the Phantasm. It’s hard to say just where these threads are going after just one issue, but we do know that at least one new character from Bruce and Selina’s future and DC Comics’ past is set to play a major role in this story....
In that first teaser back before season 1 premiered, the audience was meant to learn both that Kate Kane was incredibly wealthy and that, unlike the jerky anonymous member of the Crows, she actually cared about doing something to change Gotham’s notoriously tough streets, and not just in a “lock ‘em up” kind of way. Thanks to her one-time girlfriend, Reagan, as the first season unfolded, heiress Kate became more aware of how gentrification and the lack of affordable housing was squeezing low-income Gothamites out of their own city....
For younger genre TV fans, the name Bridget Regan might not immediately ring a bell. But the actress, who was just cast as Poison Ivy on The CW’s Batwoman, has a long and impressive genre TV resume that suggests the beloved DC Comics character is in very safe hands. In addition to memorable turns on The Last Ship, White Collar, and Paradise Lost, the American actress has appeared in some of the most unexpectedly memorable genre TV roles in the last decade and a half....
This time, we’re going forensic with not one but two lists of the greatest comedy TV shows of the last decade and a half – one for UK comedies, one for US comedies. That way a hat could be tipped to both the likes of ‘Big Hank’s Yee-Haw Rodeo Hour’ and ‘Mr Trimbly-Smythe and the Marchioness’ without either country getting left behind. A peaceable solution. Read on to discover your picks and ours for the most popular TV comedy shows that made their debut in the UK post-2007....
His unique appearance, unpredictable methods, indecipherable past, and insatiable hunger for evil have kept filmmakers and actors coming back for more over 30 years later, which has resulted in several reinventions of the character, most of which feel definitive for their moment. Nicholson’s turn in ’89 felt like the perfect marriage between the campy version played by the legendary Cesar Romero in the ’60s and the much darker sadist featured in the comics of the late ’80s....
Nonetheless, there are many who are understandably not ready to go back to theaters (or have yet to get an HBO Max subscription). Thus Netflix remains an old reliable option. While the Netflix movie selection can be narrow, each month offers some worthwhile gems to revisit or even discover. And May has a surprisingly robust group of Hollywood films from the last 40 years coming to the streaming service on May 1....
Full Immersion by Gemma Amor Type: NovelPublisher: Angry RobotRelease date: September 13 Den of Geek says: One of our considerations when choosing horror novels is that it’s best when they have some speculative, geek element to them. A malicious experiment and a life beyond death (maybe) add some science fiction intrigue. Publisher’s summary: Magpie is out of ideas. She’s desperate enough to try anything. Just when she thinks her life can get no worse, she discovers herself, or rather her own dead body, partially buried in the mudbank of a river....
