30 Best Nintendo Switch Games

Instead of winding things down, the Switch shows no signs of slowing down, with plenty of excellent third party games in its library, as well as more than a few innovative titles from the Big N as well. The platform has also been a great way to bring underrated Wii U gems to a broader audience of Switch adopters. With a rumored 4K upgrade on the horizon, there’s a good chance that the Switch may even have another four years ahead of it....

9 Jolly Santa Slasher Movies

Me, I’ve always wanted to re-edit It’s a Wonderful Life, lopping off the prologue in Heaven and running the closing credits as George Bailey is standing on the bridge staring into the dark water below. Then I’d release it as “It’s a Miserable Life.” Well, it seems I’m not alone in that thinking, and over the years a number of twisted filmmakers have taken a stab at the most wonderful time of the year, usually putting Santa Claus in some strange situations....

A Quiet Place Ii Ending Explained

John Krasinski’s follow up to his breakout horror hit A Quiet Place was due to hit cinemas in March last year, before COVID hit and took out the cinemas with it. But now A Quiet Place Part II has finally arrived on the big screen and it’s a noisier, more action-packed offering than the last. Picking up the morning after the first film ended, Evelyn (Emily Blunt), Regan (Millicent Simmonds), and Marcus (Noah Jupe), with the new born baby who they keep in a box, have to abandon their destroyed farmstead and head into the world looking for other signs of life....

A Quiet Place Part Ii Box Office Plus Cruella Roars That Movie Theaters Are Back

After more than a year of bad headlines and even worse forecasts for cinema exhibitors, Memorial Day weekend has been a defiant roar for movie theaters across the United States, led chiefly by the stunning success of A Quiet Place Part II and the more complicated (probable) success of Cruella. Both films were prized assets for their studios—Paramount Pictures and Disney, respectively—and both were delayed from their original 2020 start dates....

All American Season 3 Episode 6 Review Teenage Love

All American Season 3, Episode 6 The cabin. Oh, that cabin. I didn’t think I’d have to go through the same level of emotional gutting as “Coming Home”, when Corey (Chad L. Coleman) died, but that cold open really gave the Season 2 installment a run for its money. The cinematography and the music choice of the first couple of minutes of “Teenage Love” got to me. What a moving way to open the episode....

Amazon Prime Video New Releases October 2022

The biggest release this month is Prime Video original series The Peripheral on Oct. 21. While not outright horror, it does sound more than a little unnerving. Based on a 2014 sci-fi novel by William Gibson, The Peripheral stars Chloë Grace Moretz as a woman in a near-future society who may have just discovered an alternate reality. Fittingly, Westworld‘s Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy serve as executive producers. The other TV series of note in October is The Devil’s Hour on Oct....

Anya Taylor Joy And Robert Eggers Nosferatu Revives The Strangest Movie Vampire

Yes, technically speaking, the director and star pair who made The Witch one of the best horror movies of this century are following in the footsteps of the first Dracula movie, F.W. Murnau’s German Expressionist masterpiece, Nosferatu (1922). But they’re also exhuming a legacy more twisted than that. Which provides them a lot of leeway to get weird with archetypal vampires and the ancient spells they cast. This stems from the fact that Murnau’s Nosferatu is not officially an adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel....

Are Daemon And Rhaenyra House Of The Dragon S One True Pairing

An uncomfortable but inevitable romance has finally ignited in Westeros. It feels a bit wrong to have been rooting for Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) and her uncle Daemon (Matt Smith) all season, but at least House of the Dragon’s newest power couple aren’t twins? And the seventh episode definitely addresses the slow burn building of an alliance between the two rebellious dragonriders on their way to an epic “dance” of war....

Attack On Titan Season 4 Episode 10 Review A Sound Argument

Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 10 “That guy is not Eren.” The past few episodes of Attack on Titan have looked at dissent and disagreements cropping up among the Eldians, but now the temperature turns up and begins to reach a boiling point. Time is running out and a sound strategy becomes increasingly important, which makes any moments wasted on arguments rather than unity feel like a dangerous exercise that will only culminate in doom....

Baptiste Series 2 What Does The Toy Elephant Mean

As much as they need keen instincts and a signature coat, TV detectives also need personal tragedy. In The Missing, Det. Julien Baptiste’s was his daughter Sara’s heroin addiction. Series one showed Baptiste peeling himself away from the case of missing child Oliver Hughes to visit his own child, hospitalised by an overdose and in over her head with the dealers she’d been working for to fund her habit. Baptiste felt responsible for Sara’s addiction and – as he told another addict he was helping to get clean in The Missing series one – had nursed her through detox several times....

Bill And Ted Screenwriter We D Only Do 4Th Movie If It Honored The Fans

“Will there be another?” Solomon tells us. “I’m not sure. I initially thought we were done on Face the Music, but if we could come up with something that was really worth doing, that made us all laugh and felt like we were honoring not just the characters, but the fans of the movie again? Because they’re the real reason this thing got made. I think if we could come up with something that’s worth doing, I think we’d all be up for doing it, but it really depends....

Bill Murray Confirms Villain Role For Ant Man 3

Yes, Bill Murray will apparently arrive as an instigator of antagonism in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The revelation came straight from the actor himself, who, during a recent appearance on The Eli Manning Show, elaborated on the nature of his character with the kind of disinterested extemporaneousness we have come to expect from the man. Murray—who initially confirmed his casting for the film this past October—was pressed by the retired NFL star quarterback during the course of a casual outdoor dining interview to describe his character’s powers for the Marvel movie role, leading to a characteristically pithy answer....

Brooklyn Nine Nine S Funniest Guest Cast Characters

Brooklyn Nine Nine is one of the funniest sitcoms around thanks to its fantastic ensemble cast and just-broad-enough humour blended with almost-realistic cop show elements. But that great regular cast are supported by an equally brilliant array of recurring characters and guest stars. In this list, we’re celebrating the funniest of the show’s less often-seen characters, those guest appearances who’ve turned up once or twice to inject a fresh burst of comic energy into the show....

Call Of Duty Warzone 2 Best Guns And Loadouts For The New Meta

Warzone 2 is finally here, and the latest version of Call of Duty‘s battle royale mode wastes no time shaking up the free-to-play game’s competitive meta. Due to some sweeping changes to not only Warzone‘s arsenal but the way the game handles loadout drops, finding the right gun in Warzone 2 is more important (and more difficult) than ever before. Not only are there quite a few viable options out there at the moment, but no longer being able to rely on consistently getting your customized loadout as soon as possible means that you might have to occasionally learn to love guns you would have previously never touched....

Can The Mandalorian Save The Book Of Boba Fett

The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 4, “The Gathering Storm,” finally teased the inevitable: the return of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) to our TV screens a little over a year after we last saw him on The Mandalorian, this time to help Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) fight the Pyke Syndicate on Tatooine. The teaser is easy to miss — just a brief snippet of Ludwig Göransson’s The Mandalorian theme that plays as Fennec reassures Boba that they can get all the muscle they need with credits — but the message is clear....
