Matador: Enter The Worm, Review

Matador shows it has more potential than it lets on as we move into episode five. Somehow going into its fifth episodeMatadorfeels like a more mature show. And perhaps thats what most endears us to him: Molina doesnt play the villain. He plays a pragmatic businessman with a soft side. Gabriel Lunas Bravo, meanwhile, plays out as a two-dimensional plot unit rather than a flesh-and-blood human being. And thats just fine....

The actors who played multiple roles in Doctor Who

Peter Capaldi is far from the only Doctor Who actor to appear in multiple roles. In retrospect, that seems like a reasonable caveat. Ian Marter had a turn inCarnival Of Monstersbefore returning as Harry Sullivan in the Fourth Doctors first season. Some characters even got multiplied the other way, reappearing as different characters after playing regulars. Then again, we now know that they wont necessarily dismiss another familiar face from that episode so readily....

The Expendables 3 review

Sylvester Stallone rounds up the old gang again, with a few new recruits along for the ride. But fine emoting is not what we come to these movies for, right? But can Ross and his newbies successfully complete the mission that the old Expendables couldnt? Its a shame because he does have some game actors on board this time. Ad content continues below Far less impressive is Harrison Ford, replacing Bruce Willis as the Expendables CIA handler....

The Giver Review

At least for a time. Theres not even color, because the elders forbid it. Thus, Bridges takes on the mentoring role of Giver for the budding hero. Both affections put him in mortal danger, and one proves particularly virulent for the movies narrative. It may only contort into this story because of nearly all the characters passivity. Holmes, meanwhile, has never appeared more comfortable than in a role which requires no emotion or sincerity....

The winners and losers of summer 2014

Marvel soared while Adam Sandler floundered. Its been a surprisingly strong summer season, in truth. So as the summer of 2014 winds to a close, heres what we took out of it… The gamble on the Russo brothers to direct the film was also comfortably won. Joss WhedonsAvengerssequel is up next, and thats not going to break Marvels winning streak. And right now, who would bet againstAnt-Meneither? The only mild fly in the ointment is a decline in the American audience....

Today’s MMORPGs Need Better Underwater Combat

World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Rift, you name it. The modern MMORPG still hasn’t nailed underwater combat. Okay, maybe that was just me. I had this thing about underwater themes. Underwater combat didnt feel dramatically different from normal combat back then. The 2D-ness helped with that fact, of course. Without that third dimension, varied environments were vastly easier to simulate. It felt familiarjust with floatiness and bubbles. Fast forward to the MMORPG....

Decisions disliked by moviegoers that worked

Staggered releases, 12A action films, regional coding and more. We might not like them but they work… We had no world wide web to compare country with country, and staggered releases were an accepted norm. But the internet inevitalby played its part in cutting the gap. Furthermore, the spectre of piracy also changed things. So that was the end of staggered releases, then, surely?

We have their reflections on this incredible performer below. For me, and most people my age, Robin Williams was the first movie star we could recognize....

Simon Pegg interview: Hector, British film, blockbusters
