This particular season’s unlocks are highlighted by Mandalorian cameos, gladiators, anime visuals, and a mysterious being known only as Mancake. Here are the best Battle Pass unlocks for Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 5 that have been released so far: Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 5’s Best Battle Pass Skins Mandalorian Season 5’s featured skin is none other than the star of The Mandalorian....

As 2022 nears its conclusion, here are the new British TV shows that if you missed them on release, deserve your time and attention. Somewhere Boy Stream on: All4 (UK only) 18-year-old Danny Harris is afraid of the monsters his dad has told him roam the outside world. They’re why he’s been kept indoors his whole life, living in their remote farmhouse, watching films on VHS, playing games and dancing to old records....

Hooked by A.C. Wise Type: Novel Publisher: Titan BooksRelease date: July 12 Den of Geek says: Wise’s previous spin on Peter Pan brought eldritch fantasy, LGBT community and a spooky interpretation of the story that both interrogates and acknowledges the childhood appeal of the original. We’re eager to see whether the sequel delivers the same. Now in London twenty-two years later, Peter Pan’s monster has found Captain Hook again, intent on revenge....

Yes, improvements in video game technology have contributed to sci-fi games becoming bigger and better, but science fiction has always been about so much more than fantastic technology. The best sci-fi stories often find the humanity in the alien and the intimate in the infinite, and that’s just what many of the best sci-fi games of the last 15 years do. Whether they’re taking us to the furthest reaches of outer space or offering us a peek at a not-too-distant future, gaming’s greatest sci-fi adventures allow us to control experiences that could previously only be witnessed....

Director Sofia Takal uses the source material as a way of delivering pointed commentary on the challenges women face in a male-dominated world, more specifically, on college campuses. Toxic masculinity manifests itself in clever and innovative ways in Takal’s take on the slasher classic, with social commentary serving as jet fuel for the onscreen violence. What makes this remake better than the original is that the young women at the center of the story are strong, and they draw that strength from compassion and self-respect....

After Wright was injured, she returned home to London as Wakanda Forever continued filming, mostly at Marvel’s main production hub in Atlanta. But now it seems that director Ryan Coogler has shot everything he can that doesn’t directly involve Wright. The production will close down officially at Thanksgiving, with the plan for now to resume in early 2022. A rep for Wright said in a statement to THR, “Letitia has been recovering in London since September from injuries sustained on the set of Black Panther 2 and is looking forward to returning to work early 2022…Letitia kindly asks that you keep her in your prayers....

Black Sails Season 4 Episode 7 John Silver isn’t the sort of man that we thought would be moved by deep emotion. Of course that was years ago. It’s a tribute to the show that we believe it now. Love is not what we expect from any of the pirates, and yet they surprise us. Charles Vane died for love. Now love has moved John Silver. And now, at last, they’re talking about Morgan....

Players anxious to jump in and experience everything Cold War has to offer will be able to do so very soon. If you’re in the US, you’ll only have to wait until 12 am ET on Nov. 13 or 9 pm PT on Nov. 12 to play on Xbox Series X, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and PS4, according to Call of Duty watchdog site Charlie Intel. For all other regions, you’ll have to wait until midnight local time on Nov....

Clarice Episode 11 Clarice, episode 11, “Achilles Heel,” could almost be called the “I-told-you-so” episode. After half a season of knocking down Agent Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) as a rogue, unreliable, dangerous or mentally unbalanced cop, almost every character who got screen time this season gets to say their version of “we should have listened to Clarice.” This bodes well for the investigation, but also for the psyches of her closest acquaintances....

For a character who only made a single appearance onscreen (until recent years), Pike generated enough curiosity to appear in novels, comics, a return in Star Trek: Discovery, and now in a series all his own with the upcoming Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which premieres May 5 on Paramount+. We’ve rounded up some Original Series episodes that may help shed some light on the characters in Strange New Worlds, and speculate on how the new show might answer some of the questions raised in them....

George Orwell’s 1984Season 3 Episode 3 “Minute To Win It.” While Lucas was building his remote control lock pick, he had tiny circuitry components on clear decals hidden inside a copy of 1984. SIGNIFICANCE: The classic dystopia of “Big Brother” mirrors the world of 2077 in Continuum. Constant surveillance and mandatory obeisance to the Inner Party is very similar to the compliance the Corporate Congress expects of its citizens. Orwell’s main character was in charge of historical revision, a practice that Sonya Valentine refers to in a discussion with Kagame in season 1....

Yet if you ask Chainsaw fans which movie crossed the line, you might be surprised to learn that the most common answer is the 2013 installment that was released into theaters as Texas Chainsaw 3D (although it is now more commonly referred to as simply Texas Chainsaw). There is little at first glance of value in this forgotten franchise sequel, however its ending is so bad that it exceeds all standards of good taste or good storytelling… allowing it to become something else entirely....

This is the grim reality in which we find the weathered Jedi Master, who now lives in a cave on Tatooine, just outside the Lars homestead where little Luke Skywalker is growing up a moisture farmer. Not exactly the life a former general in the Clone Wars likely envisioned for himself a decade ago. Of course, the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer has already teased that things will quickly change for our hero when the Empire arrives on the desert planet, leading to a new journey across the stars and a fateful rematch with his former apprentice, now the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, played once again by Hayden Christensen....

That description probably put a familiar image in your head, one that you’ve seen on screen time again and again. But for you, which Batman is saying “I’m Batman?” Do you hear Adam West’s droll delivery? Michael Keaton’s whisper? The late, great Kevin Conroy’s baritone? Batman has proven to be one of the more malleable superheroes of all time, which has allowed Warner Bros. to tell a wide range of stories about the character....

The Diablo franchise has traditionally relied on a fairly simple equipment system. Every player can equip Rings, Pants, Boots, Helmets, and an armory’s worth of weapons, but Diablo Immortal adds yet another item class to that formula. Throughout the game, Diablo Immortal players will occasionally find Charms: rare, endgame-focused pieces of equipment that provide various buffs. Those items are new to the franchise and function slightly differently than traditional gear such as Amulets and Belts....

For Star Trek fans who worry that Lower Decks somehow doesn’t “count” because it’s a comedy, nothing could be further from the truth. Not only does Lower Decks count as real Star Trek canon it also actively explores Trek canon, constantly illuminating that what we think we know about the world of the Federation, Starfleet, the Klingon Empire, etc. The result? What we know is actually very limited by our perspective of what we’ve seen on the various live-action Trek shows....

In some respects Doctor Who in the 1960s had an advantage over the rest of the show: it was brand new, it built in the loss of the lead actors into the format, and it was largely free of mythology weighing it down. Indeed, with the reveal of the Doctor’s backstory in the final story of the decade, it stands apart in the Doctor remaining a genuine mystery throughout. It was also a time of experimentation, when Doctor Who tried different styles and genres to see what it could get away with....

54-year-old Bishop (Skins, Accused, Fearless) will play new character “Dan”, a role that executive producer Chris Chibnall says was built specifically for the stand-up and actor. “As he becomes embroiled in the Doctor’s adventures, Dan will quickly learn there’s more to the Universe(s) than he could ever believe,” says the BBC press release. Said release stops short of using the word ‘companion’ to describe Dan but confirms that he’ll be “travelling through Space and Time alongside the Doctor and Yaz,” when “he’ll face evil alien races beyond his wildest nightmares,” so let’s go with companion for now....

Between 2016 and 2019, Holmes Williams released three horror shorts that captured the film world’s attention. The Nightmare on Deskteeth Street is the story of a boot obsessive on a mission to retrieve his favourite pair, Stilts is set in a dystopia where everybody is forced to wear huge metal stilts, and The Devil’s Harmony is about a teenager who forms a Glee Club to wreak revenge on her high school enemies....
