Netflix’s Killer Sally is a rare breed of true crime story where not only is the murderer involved, she wants you to listen to her story. Sally McNeil may look bold and brash, with literal award-winning muscles and an army of fans who paid her to throw them around, but in reality McNeil was stuck in a devastating cycle of abuse, not least of which from her husband, Ray McNeil....
Killing Eve Season 1, Episode 8 Much of Killing Eve‘s season finale is devoted to uncommon pairings: Villanelle and Konstantin’s pre-teen daughter, Irina, and Eve and Konstantin. It’s a fitting theme for a show that is so very good at balancing things that established tropes tell us shouldn’t go together: humor and tragedy; domesticity and spycraft; women and anger. The season finale begins with the unlikely duo of the assassin and the child....
Actually, one of the best things about the LEGO Star Wars games (and most other LEGO games) is that they still feature plenty of those classic codes that have sadly gone out of style in many other modern games. While we’re still waiting to see if Skywalker Saga features as many codes as its predecessors (more on that in a bit), fans of classic video game codes will still find plenty of them in what could prove to be the ultimate LEGO Star Wars experience....

“When I say take this with a grain of salt, I meant like pour the container of salt down your throat. We don’t know if this is true because it’s just one report, but love of my life Adam Scott potentially playing a character that means a lot to me is worth talking about just because it is plausible.” Read more at The Mary Sue Bullet Train repeats as number 1 at the weekend box office as newcomer horror flicks fail to scare up an audience....

“A few years before the One dodged bullets in The Matrix or Darth Maul emerged in The Phantom Menace, a red-haired savior name Leeloo said ‘multipass.’ The ‘90s were a wonderful time for fans of science fiction, with instant hits like Jurassic Park and Independence Day and The Matrix and Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. But buried among them all, almost unassumingly, was Luc Besson’s bonkers, beautiful The Fifth Element, and today it feels like a film very much stuck in the middle of a movement....

The remake was first announced in 2017, when Blake Griffin and Black-Ish creator Kenya Barris signed on to develop the project.” Read more at Hype Beast The fictional city of Madripoor, last seen in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, was referenced in the most recent episode of Moon Knight....
Marvel’s Loki is many things at various points over the course of its six-episode run: A Philosophy 101 debate about determinism, a rumination on the existence of free will, a Doctor Who-style meditation on the interconnected messiness of time, a buddy cop romp through all of known reality, and the most bizarre love story that Marvel has yet told on screen. Tom Hiddleston remains as charming as ever as Loki, playing an earlier version of the God of Mischief with much of the pathos that ultimately made his original take on the character so compelling to watch....
Loki Laufeyson, bless him, realizes early on in the Disney+ series bearing his name that the Time Variance Authority is not to be trifled with. Upon meeting Loki, a TVA “Hunter” named B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku) whoops him with a time stick, the reverberations of which rattle around The God of Mischiefs’s body at 1/16th speed as he hits the ground. A little later on, Loki attempts to do some of his trademark trickster magic only to find that his abilities don’t work in the TVA’s offices....
Here’s our breakdown of what we’re looking at in this trailer and what it might mean for the series. We open on a shot of a beautiful, elegant waterside city that is probably on the island kingdom of Númenor. Over that, we hear a young girl’s voice speaking. The choice of a young girl to introduce audiences to Tolkien’s usually male-dominated world clearly sets out the series’ intention to tell a new range of stories within the confines of Tolkien’s mythology....
The desire to be scared is so strong that entertainment corporations are increasingly developing their whole October content calendar around it. Thank goodness they are, because while fear is something that the dopamine receptors in our brain craver, it is so, so, so, so hard for anything to satisfactorily fill that need. Horror is hard. Creating a truly great horror movie is nigh impossible. It’s so hard to sustain a sense of horror and fear for 90-plus minutes, especially when trying to follow all of the other traditional hallmarks of good storytelling....
But even if his latest film, Mandy, doesn’t exactly herald a Cage renaissance (Nicolassance?), it’s a cut above the usual mediocre-to-unwatchable fare he’s been turning up in. Mandy is directed and co-written (with Aaron Stewart-Ahn) by Italian-Swedish filmmaker Panos Cosmatos, who caused a stir in 2010 with Beyond the Black Rainbow, a psychedelic horror/sci-fi hybrid that tried to out-Cronenberg such early works by that Canadian maverick as Shivers, Crimes of the Future, and Videodrome....
Last August, Candyman and Little Woods director Nia DaCosta was tapped by Marvel Studios to helm the sequel to their 2019 Brie Larson-led blockbuster Captain Marvel, becoming the youngest filmmaker to direct a Marvel film. It’s clear that the Brooklyn-born filmmaker is brimming with passion for her projects, and in a new interview with Inverse she’s been talking to writer and professor Roxane Gay about how she has approached the upcoming movie, which will add budding superheroes Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) to Carol Danvers’ ongoing saga....
While we’re excited to kick some ass as the star of Into the Spider-Verse, what is a superhero story without the villain? Peter Parker got to take on the Sinister Six while hinting at the Green Goblin and Venom on the horizon. So who will Miles get to tangle with? In the new gameplay demo, we see that Miles is facing off against both Roxxon (Marvel’s go-to evil corporation) and an army of cyber-goons led by the Tinkerer....
The video game industry is full of titles that seem almost custom-made for Mass Effect fans, even though some of these games predate BioWare’s legendary series. More than a few of these titles are sci-fi RPGs that focus on worldbuilding and memorable characters, while others are non-linear stories that thrive on player choices and beg for multiple playthroughs. Few hit the same highs as Mass Effect, but odds are anyone who loves the franchise will also adore these games....
That film, Midsommar, is out now and finds Aster channeling yet more raw emotional territory — this time the slow-motion catastrophe of a painful breakup — through the lens of folk horror, a subgenre distinguished by its exploration of folklore and legend, its pastoral, secluded settings and the often shocking ritual and sexual violence that occurs in them. Read More: Midsommar Review The center of the film is Dani (Florence Pugh), a student racked by horrific personal tragedy and the decay of her relationship with her obliging but emotionally distant boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor)....
Prior to The Raid, Taslim was a professional Judo athlete and a member of Indonesia’s National Judo team from 1997 to 2009. He won gold medals at the Southeast Asia Judo Championships and the Indonesian National Games. No other actor can boast a competitive record like this. What’s more, Taslim is also trained in Wushu and Taekwondo, and he picked up Pencak Silat for The Raid, so his combative range goes far beyond Judo throws and falls....
