Scream: Hello, Emma Review

Don’t answer the phone, it leads to too many questions. Here is our review of Scream: The TV Series, Season 1 Episode 2. What I like about this show is how they have kept some of those trademark features from the movie. Mainly, their continuous reference to popular culture. If it tried too much to be like the movie, it would fall completely flat. However, Jake and Brooke are too obvious to be murderers....

Self/less: Tarsem Singh says ‘I Don’t Want to Fight My DNA’

Director Tarsem Singh reins himself in for the sci-fi melodrama Self/less. Den of Geek: What attracted you to this material? And I just thought I wanted a thriller that was cinematic. So when this thing came along, I said, Good. Does not depend on visuals to drive it. And immediately New Orleans came along. And I went, Ive shot there. Why was the city important to you? Well, if somebody is told, You dont know where were going to ship you....

How Showgirls (Eventually) Turned Into a Hit Movie

Showgirls is reportedly the biggest-selling MGM DVD of all time. So how did it go from flop to hit? Wed wager this is at the same point where AOL had barely pressed a million of those infamous CD-ROMs. But then MGM was certain it had a hit on its hands. Well, until the reviews started rolling in. For Eszterhas, a second high profile project inJadewould meet a similar fate three weeks later....

Song of the Sea Review

From the director of The Secret Of Kells comes the Oscar-nominated Song of the Sea. Its also an unexpectedly disarming film about a family dealing with grief. Each shot is beautifully composed with almost geometric precision, every surface seemingly etched or washed with ink. The whole film is told with similar wit and surety. The Irish landscape is similarly rich with imaginative detail. Another, an owl-like old woman called Macha, is akin to the grotesque Yubaba inSpirited Away....

Final Fantasy 14: Heavensward Review

Den of Geek’s MMO expert reviews Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, the game’s first expansion! This mixture can be good or bad, depending on who you ask. But, enough aboutA Realm Reborn. Given its success, how doesFinal Fantasy XIV: Heavenswardits first expansionstack up? The dungeons have all been enjoyable as well, if a tad bit on the linear side. The new lore focal point on dragons is pretty awesome, but thats to be expected....

License to Kill: The Darkest James Bond Movie

So this is the anti-Bond. Stripped of the requisite wit and mischief. Short of temper, heavy of touch. The SPECTREs of yore replaced by a drugs cartel. World domination downgraded to a heroin monopoly. Glamour smothered by grit. Joy drowned in the bloodshed. Derivative, needlessly violent, no identity, no soul its just NOT BOND, dammit! All nonsense, of course. The open-minded know this brutal, brilliant outing is about as good as the series can get....

Magic Mike XXL review

Channing Tatum returns to headline Magic Mike XXL. It’s better than you think… And as it turned out, the first thing that had to go was all of that pesky plot. Unusually, financial gain isnt what spurs Mike to return to stripping. Its giving the audience what they want and its characters are held to the same standard.

Dark Matter: Episode Four Review

Six similarly makes a rookie mistake in the game of hiding ones identity. One and Three practically walked into the trap set for them by… Jase Corso? The mystery of the duplicate criminals is an interesting one. So how can they both be Jase Corso? Its an intriguing mystery that Im sure is the first of many like it. At last, viewers have something to sink their teeth into with the underlying mythology of the show....
