Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 2 Late in tonight’s preemptively mournful hour, the Hound rumbles upon seeing another familiar face, “Oh for fuck’s sake, may as well be at a bloody wedding.” Given the connotation most Game of Thrones fans have for the term “wedding,” that sounds about right. Not since Joffrey’s ill-fated nuptials have so many beloved countenances been gathered in one location. However, given the usual hurricane that follows such deceptively calm waters, we too should hold our breaths....

Orli Shuka is a big lad. Not Žydrūnas “Big Z” Savickas, big (he’s the world acclaimed strong man who we see Elliot take down in the laundrette in episode one in eye-popping detail), but big enough. And Luan, the head of the Albanian mafia is not a character to be messed with – we saw that in season one of Gangs of London when he wiped out the whole of the Nigerian gang in one exhausting and breathless sequence....

Ghosts Season 2 Episode 1 CBS’s Ghosts kicks off its second season of supernatural comedic shenanigans right where the series left off in May. Woodstone Manor is finally open as a bed and breakfast but the floor collapse has left a bad impression on the first guests. Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) now have to balance guest relations with accommodating the building’s ghostly inhabitants. The episode begins right after the structural collapse with Jay recovering from the fall....

From the opening montage of Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, we learn that tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton) is a genius disruptor because of how many different people tell us so. One of the loudest voices of support is Lionel Toussant (Leslie Odom Jr.), head scientist at Miles’ tech company Alpha and unofficial translator of Miles’ eccentric faxes scrawled with such head-scratching brainstorms as “A.I. and Dogs = Discourse....

A returning feature from the previous game, attachments not only increase the base stats of your weapon but typically offer unique skills and bonuses. Picking the right attachment is usually a matter of finding the one that fits your playstyle, which means that you’re going to want to know which ones to hunt down as soon as possible. Before we get into all that, though, please keep in mind that this article is a work in progress....

Halo Episode 7 Would Halo be a good science fiction show if it wasn’t called Halo? I found myself asking this a lot while watching “Inheritance.” Is it a sign that a franchise installment has failed if one has to ask? In an episode almost entirely devoid of Master Chief, even the writers’ attention seems to drift. Kwan is on her way to meet the desert mystics, and reminiscing about her conflict with her father and the Insurrectionists....

Hawkeye Episode 6 Marvel’s Hawkeye season finale is here, and it’s the perfect capstone to a virtually perfect MCU series. Heavy on action, with just the right amount of humor, and a heaping helping of the brilliant Vincent D’Onofrio returning as Wilson Fisk, Hawkeye went out strong. Maybe not with as many explicit Marvel Easter eggs as in previous episodes, but a lot of fun nonetheless. Here’s everything we found. And if you spot something we missed, let us know in the comments!...

If the careful foundation-laying of the first three episodes had left you feeling at all distanced from or frustrated by this story, then “Armour”’s here to yank you into a giant bear hug and surround you with fun, action, excitement and promise. This was the most enjoyable and accessible episode yet. With the uncluttered, clear-cut plot of a videogame level (meet mystical gatekeeper, solve riddle, receive magical object, recruit allies, unlock achievement), a ticking clock thanks to the spy fly device, and the introduction of a couple of welcome archetypes (the rascal adventurer and the down-on-his-luck warrior), it was an entertaining hour of forward momentum....

His House is social commentary but also an out and out horror. It also uses elements of Sudanese myth as Rial (Wunmi Mosaku) and Bol (Sope Dirisu) are haunted by an ‘apeth’ or ‘night witch’ who has risen from the ocean and pursued the couple, who wants them to atone for their sins. As the house deteriorates further and further the film leads us to a first shocking but then redemptive conclusion....

The original film centered on the Sanderson Sisters, three Salem witches condemned to death in 1693 after they drained the life force of a young girl and cursed her brother to live an eternity as a black cat. Before their execution, the witches cast a curse that will resurrect them if a virgin lights the Black Flame Candle in their cottage during a full moon on All Hollow’s Eve. Sure enough, and in 1993, a new teenager in town inadvertently lights the candle, resurrecting the sisters, and he must try to stop them as they pursue him and his young sister....

Watch the video below for our take or read below for more! Zombie comedy (or ZomRomCom as some like to call it) Shaun of the Dead rightfully became a classic and an amazing introduction to the comedic stylings of Wright, Pegg and Nick Frost for most American audiences. The World’s End closes out the “ultra-stylized genre movie comedy” trilogy perfectly with just the right amount of maturity, humor and self-reflection....

It’s impossible to watch the new season of House of Cards without the shadow of the current U.S political situation — and the turbulent election that got us here — hanging over it. Even though the show started production on its fifth 13-episode run (the first with new showrunners Melissa James Gibson and Frank Pugliese at the helm, replacing creator Beau Willimon) before last November’s election results — and the tragicomedy that has unfolded ever since — stunned the nation and the world, the serpentine storylines that the show is unfurling this year seem like they’re ripped right from the headlines of a parallel universe just this side of ours....

Originally, Dracula Untold was at first titled Dracula: Year Zero and had Sam Worthington (Avatar) set to star with Alex Proyas (Dark City, The Crow) attached to direct. That iteration was then scrapped and reworked, with the project eventually getting a new title and a new helmer via Gary Shore, who sat in the director’s chair for the first time. Meanwhile Luke Evans would also come on to star as Vlad the Impaler, aka “Dracula” (Son of the Dragon)....

On the cusp of Eternals’ wide release, Beijing-born director Zhao faces a watershed moment in her still-burgeoning career with a potential worldwide commercial breakthrough (or flop). She’s currently riding momentum from the sudden springboard success earlier this year of a Best Director Oscar win for her small-scale character-driven drama, Nomadland, which also even took the Best Picture prize. Yet, Eternals was a task that would have intimidated more-experienced filmmakers, much less an up-and-comer with only three feature films (including the eventual Oscar-winner) on her directorial CV....

When Marvel first announced that it would be creating a spinoff show for Disney+ led by MCU superheroes Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany), there was some understandable confusion from fans who weren’t quite sure how it would work. After all, WandaVision wasn’t supposed to be a prequel, and as far as we were aware post-Avengers: Infinity War, Vision was, well, very dead. Dead as a doornail....

“[Patty is] like a Japanese sword,” says Wonder Woman 1984 star and producer Gal Gadot to Den of Geek and other outlets during a 2018 set visit. “No, really. It’s the same wonderful creative rule of hard smarts, see the bigger picture and the macro and the micro and everything. She has all the same qualities but now everything is quicker. She’s been there, she knows how it works. She has the same clues that worked with us in the previous one, and it’s just like this very smooth process....

After the massive success of Lucas’ previous movies, young Kasdan—like many Willow fans—expected a sequel. But it wasn’t until years later that he realized why it hadn’t emerged. While the film captured the imaginations of young kids everywhere it didn’t have the widespread financial success of Lucasfilm’s other more famous movies. But that never stopped Kasdan dreaming of continuing the story of the young sorcerer who had inspired him so much....

The Mandalorian season 2 finale is poised to be the series’ biggest episode yet. Mando and the cruel Moff Gideon are set up for a rematch, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever before, with little Grogu’s life hanging in the balance. Fortunately, Mando won’t be taking on the Empire on his own. He’ll have help from Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, and Cara Dune, but is that enough?...

Feige spoke to Men’s Health for their latest cover story, touching on the misstep that was casting Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One in 2016’s Doctor Strange, and diving into the MCU character selection process. According to the interview, Marvel has a binder full of “great characters who could make great movies regardless of how famous they [are]” that has existed since the MCU’s inception. Feige said that the earlier filmic success of Blade, which was far from one of Marvel’s most popular comics, taught the MCU decision-makers an important lesson heading into the franchise....

The real Leif Eriksson lived around 1000 CE, about 200 years before the two medieval Icelandic stories known as The Vínland Sagas were written down, which is why there are different versions of his tale. The Saga of Erik the Red credits Leif with the discovery of America while on an expedition to convert the Greenlanders to Christianity. The Saga of the Greenlanders has someone else actually first sight America (Bjarni Herjólfsson) but didn’t land....
