This article originally appeared onDen of Geek UK. Davies also showed his versatility when he presented an edition ofPlay Schoolin its final year. Next cameBreakfast Serials, which Davies both wrote and produced. Though seemingly set in the present, the series is determined to look unusual. The set-up resembles a Teutonic version ofTime Team, with only the most Aryan archaeologists preferred. Sadly, the rather obvious bulky blond wigs rather undermine these opening scenes....

As Resident Evil 7 approaches, we look back on the series' true origins. Theres always a lighthouse. Theres always a man. Theres always a city. With this simple credo, Ken Levine and theBioShockdevelopment team defined their franchise. A lighthouse, a man, a city. At no point in theResident Evilfranchise did any character utter a similar statement. If someone had, they certainly would have saved theResident Evil 7development team a lot of grief....

WhereStar Trekmanaged to launch a new string of movies, however,Terminator Genisysfaltered. Would they have helped to make sense ofGenisys overwrought, time-hopping plot? Terminator: Genisyshad more than a few head-scratching moments, but the basics of its plot are these. Good, because this is where things get a bit more complicated.

At the top of that list, as you might expect, is Yen....

Most Bruce Willis movies right now seem to head to DVD almost immediately. We’ve found even more of them… This article has been updated to include two new films Precious CargoandMarauders. And how many have interestingly-Photoshopped front covers? We still feel like, at the very least, Bruce Willis and sci-fi/fantasy are a good match. The washed out visuals and quasi-clinical sets dont do anything to draw us in, unfortunately. Our Bruce apathetic and side-smiley as ever is in trouble at the start ofExtraction....

Witch’s liberation comes to Salem as the clock approaches the midnight hour. Oh, did I say exit? I mean falls on the floor in paranoid agony. You got a new enemy, witch. Or an old one.

This article comes fromDen of Geek UK. Joel SchumachersBatman Foreverwas a divisive movie, to say the least. Its intriguing to hear, then, that the original cut ofBatman Foreverweighed in at 2 hours 40 minutes. Would the original version ofBatman Foreverbeen a better movie? What they, and some enterprising YouTubers, uncovered suggests a more interesting movie. Some cut scenes played even larger roles than that, and couldve made the overall film feel very different....
