My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 18 Review The Unforgiven

My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 18 “The sole thing a person gets to choose impartially is how his life ends.” The concepts of fate, justice, and agency are always crucial tenets in My Hero Academia, yet these principles are placed under intense scrutiny in “The Unforgiven” when a face from Endeavor’s past returns and threatens to destroy his heroic advancements. Whenever it seems like Endeavor’s redemption arc reaches a satisfying and cathartic conclusion there are suddenly more skeletons from his closet that tumble out that he needs to manage....

Netflix S Tekken Bloodline Is A Love Letter To Fighting Games

Video games are hard to adapt to movie or television screens because the gameplay is the meat of the experience. When you disengage the player from the story, the writers have to ensure their filmmaking is top-notch to reimburse the fans for what they’ve lost in the process. This is why gaming continues to be a hit-or-miss translation. The more these shaky adaptations occur, the less confidence studios have to produce them....

New Miles Morales Costume Leaked In Spider Man Across The Spider Verse Merchandise

Given the suit’s importance, it shouldn’t be a surprise that filmmakers would want to include it in big-screen Spider-Man stories. Not only did the symbiote suit play a major part in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, but the MCU gestured toward the get-up with Peter’s “Night Monkey” variant in Spider-Man: Far From Home. But for Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the black suit gets a more streamlined update. Thanks to twitter user @furlow71, we get our first look at merchandise for Across the Spider-Verse, including a shot of Miles in a remix of Peter Parker’s most famous back-up duds....

New On Netflix October 2020 Releases

The biggest release this month is undoubtedly The Haunting of Bly Manor, Mike Flanagan’s long-awaited followup to terrifying Haunting of Hill House. That arrives on Oct. 9. The film side of things is where most of Netflix’s other horror originals reside, with Hubie Halloween (Oct. 7), A Babysitters’ Guide to Monster Hunting (Oct. 15), and Rebecca (Oct. 22) all making their debut. Some non-horror originals of note this month include high school drama Grand Army (Oct....

Obi Wan Kenobi How Indira Varma S Tala Durith Is Helping Star Wars Evolve

When asked about the difference between her work with Game of Thrones and Star Wars, actress Indira Varma had a simple answer: “What’s different about Star Wars, obviously, is the fact that it’s been around for 45 years,” Varma told The Hollywood Reporter. “That’s my life! It’s a lot of people’s lifetimes, whereas Game of Thrones is different.” Varma had a taste of fandom when she portrayed Ellaria Sand in the HBO fantasy series....

Original Sopranos Pilot Had No Murders

“In that pilot, there were no murders,” Chase told THR. “It was a mob show, but nobody got killed.” On the surface, this is a real innovation. It subverts both television’s mainstream blood lust and the onscreen presentation of the criminal element. Film and TV have often adhered to the code of death or redemption for gangsters, and they usually prefer these stories bloody. But take away the killings and mobsters are no different than any other entrepreneurial business practitioners....

Oscars 2021 Anthony Hopkins Win Shows Danger Of Relying On Predictions

Yet that is how the final award of the night played out. Because despite nearly every Academy Awards since 1948 ending their evenings on Best Picture, Oscars 2021 closed the show on the Best Actor category—and an award that most expected Boseman to win for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, which would’ve made him only the third actor to win a posthumous Oscar (the other two being Peter Finch for Network and Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight)....

The obvious frontrunners are still running in front in the below nominations list. Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland remains the favorite, picking up six nominations, while Less Isaac Chung’s Minari has made great strides throughout the awards season, going from being miscategorized as a “Foreign Language Film” by other awards bodies, to earning deserved nominations for Best Picture and Best Director. The Trial of the Chicago 7 also picked up six Oscars although, notably, not one for Best Director....

Peaky Blinders Season 6 News Cast Story Guest Stars Filming

Peaky Blinders started life as a niche period drama with a name that made people screw up their eyes in confusion and ask Peaky-what? Now more phenomenon than TV show, the BBC series has a festival, a clothing line, merchandise in your local Boots (honestly. ‘Mrs Tommy Shelby’-emblazoned water bottles and travel mugs are a thing), as well as celebrity fans up the wazoo. Thanks to Netflix, Steven Knight’s story of a working class Birmingham crime family between the wars has gone global....

Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel Episode 1 Review Echoes Of Evil

Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel Episode 1 Power Rangers 25th anniversary is off to a bad start. The planned live show was cancelled, the redesigned Ranger Nation website (meant for hardcore fans of the show) was filled with laughably inaccurate information, and the first supposed “big reveal” of the year was nothing more than some action figures fans had known about for months. Oh yeah, and this episode. We’ll get to that in a second....

We had a chance to sit down with two of the film’s stars — British actor Douglas Booth, who plays Mr. Bingley, and Australian actress Bella Heathcote, who plays Jane Bennet — to chat about what it’s like to fill such iconic roles while fighting off zombie attackers. Here’s what they had to say… Why Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? For Booth, Pride and Prejudice and Zombiesoffered an interesting twist on the kind of period dramas he’d done before....

Pride And Prejudice A History Of Onscreen Fan Fiction

Fan fiction has a rich history as both a non-commercial art form and as canonized onscreen stories like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, andit’s time that mainstream media got a bit more comfortable tossing around the words “fan fiction” without cringing. After all, it’s everywhere. More than that, a lot of it — whether legitimized by its connection to money (i.e. the making of it) or not — is quite good… Let’s start by recognizing the many onscreen fanfic adaptations of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice....

Quarry Season 1, Episode 8 Although it wasn’t exactly a happy ending for Quarry, there was a certain satisfaction in having the story come full circle to the all-but-forgotten opening scene in which Mac pushed his heretofore unknown victim out into the Mississippi. Mac may have been pulled unwillingly into continuing his life as a hitman, but did anyone really want him to become a pool salesman and live happily ever after?...

Questions The Manifest Cancelation Leaves Unanswered

Manifest is no stranger to unanswered questions. In fact, some might say its main appeal (or its greatest flaw) was the never-ending mystery of why the passengers of Flight 828 experienced prophetic callings after jumping forward five years mid-flight. After three seasons, it seemed viewers might never know the true meaning behind it all, and now with NBC’s cancellation of the sci-fi drama (and Netflix’s refusal to pick it up), it’s an unfortunate certainty that fans will be left in the dark forever....

Raised By Wolves Comic Reveals New Backstory Details

The short comic follows a moment of mischief that must have been very common back when Campion and his brothers and sisters were younger. While playing with dolls that were lit up like torches, one of the children fell and ignited the field of crops, a potentially deadly mistake on this dry planet. Notably, the dolls were mock-ups of necromancers, the androids employed by the Mithraics in the planet-killing war on Earth....

Rebecca Review What Is Old Is New Again

Wheatley is no stranger to risky filmmaking–his resolutely indie resume so far includes extremely unsettling horror (The Kill List), genuinely weird psychedelic experimentation (A Field in England), disturbing dystopian sci-fi (High-Rise), and darkly comedic yet hyper-violent crime thrillers (Sightseers and Free Fire). His biggest risk here, of course, is having his work compared to a landmark from one of film’s most iconic directors. Yet he largely manages to pull off the attempt, with caveats....

Resident Evil Village Merchant Is It The Same Character From Resident Evil 4

Naturally, any discussion of merchants and Resident Evil is going to make fans fondly remember the merchant from Resident Evil 4 and how his cry of “got something that might interest you” preceded what could very well be the only welcome trench coat flash in human history. In this instance, though, the mere mention of a merchant in a Resident Evil game isn’t triggering flashbacks to Resident Evil 4’s merchant for the simple sake of nostalgia....

Rick And Morty Season 3 Episode 6 Review Rest And Ricklaxation

Rick and Morty Season 3 Episode 6 Season three is officially knocking it out of the park. This is another fantastic episode. It takes one of the most tried and true fiction plots out there and somehow takes it in wholly unexpected directions, plunging the depths of the characters’ psyches and cranking out top-notch jokes all along the way. The premise here is Rick and Morty go on an emotionally-scarring adventure (Morty’s wailing actually made me feel for the little guy), so they decide to go for a (sci-fi) spa day....
