Harrison Ford Confirms Reason He Returned For Indiana Jones 5

He’ll be just a few weeks shy of 81 when Indiana Jones 5 rolls into theaters next year. Yet, to hear Ford and Mangold tell it, that’s the advantage that makes a fifth and final Indy adventure worth following. “I just thought it would be nice to see one where Indiana Jones was at the end of his journey,” Ford recently told Empire magazine while promoting the film. “If a script came along that I felt gave me a way to extend the character....

His Dark Materials Season 2 Episode 6 Review Malice

The problem with prophecy narratives is all the time they spend in the future tense. Such-and-such will change everything. So-and-so is going to save the world. Before a story moves towards a climactic battle, there’s so much team-picking and bag-packing to be done. While avengers are assembled and characters line up to pledge their sword, bow or axe, all eyes are focused on the horizon rather than on the here and now....

Homeland Season 7 Episode 7 Review Andante

Homeland Season 7 Episode 7 Well it is time for me to eat some humble pie. Last week, I speculated that Dante wasn’t a traitor, or at least a witting Russian agent, and only appeared to be so based on Carrie and Saul’s suspicions. It wasn’t because I particularly loved the character—although it is nice to have someone in Carrie’s circle who isn’t constantly judging and second-guessing her at all times—but I did think we have seen a few too many moles in the intelligence community on this series....

How Elden Ring Will Make Dark Souls Difficulty More Accessible

In interviews with IGN and Famitsu, Dark Souls and Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki was asked (both directly and indirectly) about Elden Ring‘s difficulty. Not only does Miyazaki inform Famitsu that “the difficulty level as a pure action game is lower” than it was in Sekiro or Bloodborne (he actually says its closer to Dark Souls 3 in that respect), but he explains some of the ways that Elden Ring offers a different kind of experience in terms of its challenges....

How Morbius References All Three Spider Man Movie Timelines

While Morbius’s new trailer is the kind of conventional plot-exhibiting montage that—in an arguably self-defeating manner—overshares enough to make viewers feel as they’d seen the entire movie, it also happens to continue its predecessor trailer’s touting of intriguing timeline teases. Indeed, as if the state of Sony’s Marvel Cinematic Universe-adjacent Spider-Man movies wasn’t already convoluted enough, the latest clip adds even more Spider-Man timeline elements, with Easter eggs now revealing connections to the continuities of the Venom and The Amazing Spider-Man movies, solidifying the film’s connectivity to three existing Spider-Man timelines....

How Star Wars Redeemed The 1978 Holiday Special

While the special itself is no longer part of official Star Wars continuity, and it’s not even available on Disney+, many elements from the TV film can now be found on modern shows like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett as well as in the pages of the canon books and comics. Here are all the ways Star Wars has continued to revisit the Holiday Special over the past few decades, and how it’s even redeemed some of its best ideas…...

How Street Fighter 6 Pays Tribute To A Forgotten Capcom Franchise

At first glance, the trailer clearly reveals four confirmed characters in action. Ryu is back, of course, retaining his fan-favorite beard from his Street Fighter 5 alternate outfit. Series regular Chun-Li also returns, shown fighting her adopted daughter Li-Fen at one point (Li-Fen’s teenage appearance suggests that we’re finally going past Street Fighter III in the timeline). Luke, the last DLC character introduced in Street Fighter 5, also shows up as this game’s new hero character....

How Wandavision Acknowledges The Scope Of Wanda Maximoff S Grief

Marvel’s WandaVision is many things: The story of one of comics’ most iconic couples, a love letter to the American sitcom, and a bizarre, genre-hopping mystery through an alternate – or altered, none of this is super clear just yet – reality. It’s also the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first real story about grief. Sure, sad things have happened in this franchise before: Multiple characters have died, in satisfyingly heroic (Tony Stark) and frustratingly sexist (Natasha Romanoff, Gamora) ways....

How Xbox Was Finally Proven Right In 2021

The problem with praising any video game manufacturer over another (or any brand/product over its competition) is that it tends to trigger this consumerism defense mechanism that forces people to tell you why you’re wrong because their preferred product or brand is better. What I find truly remarkable about Xbox’s 2021 success, though, are the ways in which the company succeeded that go beyond the console wars or strategies that will somehow help them “beat” PlayStation and Nintendo....

Interview With The Vampire Trailer Reveals How One Key Character Is Different From Novel

Though the first volume in Rice’s epic Vampire Chronicles already received a beloved film adaptation in 1994, the presence of past success doesn’t do much to guarantee future results. Thankfully, however, the first full trailer for the project has now arrived and it should put at least some concerns to bed (or in a coffin). Check out the clip, which just premiered during the show’s SDCC 2022 appearance, below. As has been long promised by AMC, this really does appear to be a faithful and appropriately atmospheric take on Rice’s great work, albeit with some tweaks....

Is Spider Man Miles Morales Going To Be On Ps4 And Pc

While Miles Morales isn’t a “full” sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man but more of a next-gen expansion starring the fan-favorite Spidey in training, everything that we’ve seen of the game thus far suggests it feature the same brilliant open-world gameplay and developer Insomniac Games’ undeniable sense of style. It will also feature a bodega cat named Spider-Man, which feels like a selling point in itself. Regardless of how you feel about cats, Miles Morales will undoubtedly be one of the games early adopters of the PS5 will pick up at launch, but what about those PlayStation fans that won’t be making the next-gen jump right away?...

Is Young Justice Ending After Season 4

Young Justice Season 4 Episode 8 A series that once ended prematurely and was resurrected by fan passion should not spend so much time on maudlin navel gazing. And yet, here we are with Young Justice: Phantoms, where “I Know Why the Caged Cat Sings” spends most of its run time on infodumps that hint at a MUCH more interesting series of events and characters than the ones put on screen....

It Comes At Night Review

It’s the paranoia that takes over once the mind realizes you’re in a nightmare trapped inside a night terror, that has been buried under an overwhelming sense of perpetual anxiety. And in terms of attempting to create a character-based thriller with genuinely erudite aspirations about mortality, Shults has crafted a very admirable and challenging piece of cinema. But it’s also one that enthralls while never truly ensnaring the audience or their fears....

It Follows Review

It Follows does it one better. As the best horror movie in years, David Robert Mitchell’s second feature assimilates death into the fabric of American youth culture, making its fatalism not only intimate, but unshakable—like that knowing feeling you’re being watched. Right now. Purportedly based on one of Mitchell’s own childhood nightmares, It Follows grasps onto that primal terror that something is coming for you, and that no matter what you do, it will have its way with your innocence, vitality, and even your life, leaving nothing in its wake but spoiled meat....

Jennifer Connelly Reacts To The Rocketeer Legacy Sequel

When we sat down with the Oscar winner last month, she told us that really was her up there in the clouds with Cruise at the controls (he also wanted to do barrel rolls, but it wasn’t to be). It was an extraordinary moment for Connelly, but not her first in a movie about pilots and their daredevil ways. Indeed, for audience members of a certain age, one of their first memories of Connelly may very well be her starring role in Disney’s cult classic, The Rocketeer....

Jeopardy Makes A Great Choice For Host But Not The Right One

The loss of longtime Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek was a massive one and the producers of the show decided to go with a fittingly massive tribute for the season that followed his death. The show cycled through 15 big name guest hosts (with one more, Joe Buck, still to come) to try their hand at the job that Trebek perfected. In addition to honoring Alex, Jeopardy! pitched this gambit as a legitimate “tryout” for the job....

Jessica Jones Complete Marvel Universe Easter Eggs And Comics References Guide

Marvel’s Jessica Jones Netflix series is quite possibly the best thing to come out of Marvel Studios in, well…ever. While it’s not packed quite as tightly with Marvel mythology as its predecessor, Daredevil, there’s still plenty to unpack, analyze, and speculate on. Jessica and her friends and enemies are a little less well known than some of her costumed counterparts, so I’m here to break things down for the newbies, and help look for stuff even experienced fans might miss....

Life On Mars Creator Wants To Bring Back Sam Tyler

In sequel series Ashes to Ashes, the writer-producers managed to do everything they’d planned for Philip Glenister’s gruff, outmoded DCI Gene Hunt, but not for John Simm’s DI Sam Tyler. Why? “John had gone by then,” Graham tells Den of Geek in a new interview. Life on Mars finished in 2007 after two series but the original plan, Graham says, was to continue for a third and possibly fourth run....
