Halo Episode 1 2022 is a strange time to release a Halo TV show. While the franchise was a hot topic in Hollywood in the 2000s, the Halo series as a whole seems like less of a juggernaut today. While the latest game, Halo Infinite, was well received, there simply isn’t the whole-hearted enthusiasm the series garnered in the days of the original Xbox and Xbox 360. Is the age of Halo over?...
With two episodes left, Hawkeye has a lot of ground left to cover. The two archers not only have to get Clint home to his family by Christmas, but they also have to contend with the Tracksuit Mafia, Echo, probably the Kingpin, a murder mystery, Black Widow, and whatever surprises are going on with Kate’s mother and Jack. There’s a lot on the show’s plate, but one mystery that’s been there since the beginning is that of the watch....
Indeed, even some of the most positive reviews of Horizon Forbidden West take a little time to offer a disclaimer that those expecting a substantially different experience from Zero Dawn may be surprised to find that after five years and the introduction of a new generation of console hardware, Forbidden West still feels surprisingly similar to Zero Dawn in many ways. That revelation has inspired some to call Forbidden West “formulaic” and even suggest that it’s not the game we should have gotten after all this time....
“Maybe we should start a band,” Smith muses while they consider the implications of the moniker. And yet, it’s not an inaccurate way to consider the characters they play or how author George R.R. Martin has presented them in Westerosi history. Fire & Blood, the fictional Targaryen history text on which House of the Dragon is based, intentionally offers conflicting information about Smith’s Prince Daemon Targaryen and Frankel’s Dornish Ser Criston Cole....
In ‘The Princess and the Queen’, House of the Dragon whipped through a great deal of information in a short space of time. There were new royal heirs and new dragons; new allies, new enemies and brand-new cast members to play them. We saw that Alicent and Rhaenyra’s friendship had not been repaired in the past decade at King’s Landing – far from it. The battle lines between the Queen and the King’s heir are now firmly drawn....
With the original 1968 Planet of the Apes a huge smash at the box office — it arguably saved 20th Century Fox from going bankrupt — a meeting took place that included studio head Richard D. Zanuck, producer Arthur P. Jacobs, associate producer Mort Abrahams and Fox production exec Stan Hough. At some point the idea came up: why not make a sequel? As we’ve stated elsewhere, sequels at the time were not the big business they are today....
But now Clarice is back, headlining a new CBS drama that picks up where The Silence of the Lambs left off and charts the next stages of the young agent’s career. For fans of the film it’s an enticing proposition, albeit one that has to contend with the inverse of the rights situation that plagued Fuller’s show; Clarice can use any character that originated in The Silence of the Lambs, but none from the rest of Harris’ works, meaning that Hannibal Lecter is nowhere to be seen....
Seven years later, the His Dark Materials TV show is about to enter its third and final season. Those who have read the source material know this is the most fantastical yet. The Amber Spyglass includes the same talking bears, angels, and daemons as previous installments but also introduces the mulefa (horse-like, trunked beings who roll around on seed pods) and the Gallivespians (tiny humanoids who fly on dragonfly-like insects)....
Well, Splitgate is a free-to-play competitive first-person shooter that combines elements of Halo and Portal. It’s developed by 1047 Games: a studio you’ve probably never heard of before simply because Splitgate is their first project. I’d say that the best way to find out what Splitgate is would be to play it for yourself, but given that the game’s servers have been taking a beating lately, you might be better off doing some outside research....
Every saga has a beginning. Episode I of the Star Wars “Skywalker Saga” was faced with a unique challenge when it was released in cinemas in the summer of 1999. As the first part of a Prequel Trilogy charged with “setting up” one of the most successful and beloved movie series of all time, the sheer weight of fan expectation placed upon The Phantom Menace‘s shoulders was pretty much unprecedented....
Corman recruited horror and sci-fi writer Richard Matheson (I Am Legend) to adapt the Poe tale, while also hiring Vincent Price — already established as a horror star in films like The Fly and House on Haunted Hill — for the lead role (just one of four in the film) as the tormented, doomed Roderick Usher. “This film was a gamble for all of us and yet I was prepared to take a gamble because I believed in the works of Edgar Allan Poe,” Price told film historian David Del Valle (in the liner notes for the Shout Factory Blu-ray set The Vincent Price Collection)....
Each week, Gladiators pitted members of the public against the eponymous gladiators: a coterie of contoured, chiselled athletes and bicep-bulging body-builders with fearsome names like Hunter, Lightning, and Warrior. Two male and two female contestants competed against the gladiators, and each other, across a series of six gruelling games, building up points that would determine how much of a head-start they’d receive in the final contestant vs contestant challenge: the dreaded Eliminator obstacle course....
With a live-action Netflix movie on the way, incoming fans are wondering… Do you start from the very beginning? Or wait, maybe start with the prequel show? Hold on, what about a more recent series? Even when you decide where you want to start watching Gundam, figuring out how you’re going to watch it is a little trickier. The Gundam franchise isn’t consolidated in one or even two streaming platforms for easy access, which makes all this harder....
“Coming to you live from the top of the Empire State Building,” like every other New York station sharing the city’s antenna, Z100 was one of the eight wonders of the radio world. The DJs broadcast from the swamps of New Jersey, when the Meadowlands might as well have been Skull Island, on-air talent had to buy their own records, and the station wasn’t on rotation when musicians came to town to promote shows....
Hulu is bringing two major TV titles to its stream this month. The first is The Orville: New Horizons on June 2. Seth MacFarlane’s sci-fi/comedy started as a simple Star Trek parody on Fox before blossoming into its own entirely sincere space adventuring beast. Now “New Horizons” promises to be a fresh start for the series on Hulu. Next up is Only Murders in the Building season 2 on June 28....
With its list of new releases for March 2022, Hulu is highlighting two major original series ripped straight from the headlines. The first is The Dropout, which premieres on March 3. This show stars Amanda Seyfried (taking over from the previously cast Kate McKinnon) as Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. This story about high-level corporate fraud is truly wild, enough so to accommodate several books, podcasts, and even an upcoming film starring Jennifer Lawrence....
As Jenkins’ first feature after Moonlight won a Best Picture Oscar, the filmmaker has used the opportunity afforded by Hollywood accolades to adapt the long underrepresented author James Baldwin to the screen. Pulling from the 1974 novel of the same name, Jenkins’ movie turns the page to a specific time and place in 1970s Harlem that, by its very nature, could just as easily apply to the America of today....
Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire episode 3 is called “Is My Very Nature That of A Devil,” and while Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) ponders the satanic elements, his maker Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) purloins the “devil’s music,” as jazz was called in its birth. The sound spread chord clusters and hot licks across the country, revelatory to listeners and revolutionary in its freedom. This mirrors the relationships at the center of the series, those between the two vampires, and their changed natures relating to regret and reconciliations....
Into The Badlands Season 2 Episode 10 If there’s any episode of Into the Badlands that displays this show’s finest graces, this has to be it. Which is ironic, seeing as “Wolf’s Breath, Dragon Fire” isn’t jam packed with twists and turns like the episodes that came immediately before it. The plot is straightforward: Sunny confronts Quinn, again, for the second and (we hope) final time. Every trial and tribulation that Sunny has overcome both outside and inside the Badlands have all lead up to this: a gorgeously shot, beautifully choreographed fight sequence that might just be the series’ defining moment....
In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode “Assignment: Earth,” Spock briefly takes care of Gary Seven’s cast Isis, and admits that he finds himself “strangely drawn to it.” In TNG, Data had his cat, Spot. In Enterprise, Captain Archer had his Beagle, Porthos. In Picard, Jean-Luc traded his fish for a pit bull named Number One. Kirk had a dog named Butler in Generations, and Janeway talked about how much she missed Irish setter, Mollie, in Voyager....
