Before you test your might in Mortal Kombat X, take a look at the strange history of Reptile! Reptile has recently been announced forMortal Kombat X, and it isnt so surprising. The series owes a lot to the green, scaly, slobbering ninja. He started out as THE character to fight in the first game. A regular to the series, sure, but still the ever-so-beatable henchman character. A jobber, if you will....

There have been multiple Death of Deadpool stories over the years. Then they built up towards his death in the secondDeadpoolongoing, which turned out to be a giant fakeout. This one is the bigger punch to the gut. Even the situation around his death leaves some stuff open-ended. I for one am going to mourn it. This book definitely has theactionpart down pat. And where it gets going is to town....

American editor Lisa Zeno Churgin cut together Ben StillersReality Bites(also starring Ethan Hawke). That casting is, for the most part, inspired. As Jerome later tells Vincent, I got the better end of the bargain. I gave you my body. You gave me your dream. Dead Ringerssense of longing and, as Cronenberg once put it, unrequited life hangs thickly overGattaca. you might hear it in Michael Nymans incredible, timeless score, which rises and falls with aching sadness....

This interview contains mild Ex Machina spoilers. But in one of them, he meets Ava (Vikander), a likely sentient robot. Obviously this is a uniquely elaborate film. Alicia, could you describe how much time you spent in hair and make-up? How did you apply such an intricate look to both the robotic and flesh elements? Alicia Vikander:I spent four and a half hours [in make-up]. They just did a mold of my body....

She is worried about her upcoming questioning with Walter Taffet*. So Philip-as-Clark is giving her the most overt instructions on lying The Americans has provided yet. Theyre naturally adept at lying and have been trained to be even better. But everyone on this show is an excellent liar, whether theyve been trained or not. Stan and Oleg are actively committing treason against their respective countries and no one is the wiser....

Then something weird happened, and people started to realiseTheVampire Diariesmight actually be a decent show. But she was also strong and resilient, not easily manipulated always prepared to save herself. So where does that leave it? In a place where it has to evolve. The show changed with her, but not necessarily for the better. It lost its identity by, ironically, trying to hang onto its initial premise too tightly....

World of Warcraft is currently going through a shortage of endgame content. Here is how the 6.2 patch could fix that!

Ethan Hawke stars in Andrew Niccol’s military drama, Good Kill. Heres what he had to say… Especially coming from Andrew [Niccol] theres something about the way he films everything. Even Nevada looks like a foreign planet, or a sunset looks like a foreign moon. I dont know why. The level of detachment the characters have between each other its almost Orwellian, you know? Yet its totally contemporary. So thats my favorite element of the movie too....

This weeks iZombie has charm, but continues to suffer from low stakes in its crime solving plots. This isnt a deal breaker for a series likeiZombiethat has so much going on i.e. These characters are not only compelling in their own rights, but also make an unlikely and interesting duo. Sadly, though this is the obvious intent in this episode,iZombieonly scratches the surface of that possibility. Thankfully, the plotline isnt a complete waste....

This is my apology to Jon Bass. The actor was the lead in a Broadway show in which I sat nearly on top of the stage. Hes since landed appearances on HBOsGirlsandThe Newsroom, two shows I regularly watch. No longer an Oh, that guy! On stage and screen, life isnt getting any easier for Bass. Hes already been kidnapped and bitch-slapped by Ben Stillers Jimmy Staats, a recovering addict turned pretend drug dealer....
