10 Cloverfield Lane Review

For context (and in as spoiler-free a consideration as possible), that man is Howard. Similarly,10 Cloverfield Lanedirector Dan Trachtenberg invoked Hitchcock as a major influence at a press conference I attended. And inside Winsteads rapidly moving eyes, audiences will find a refreshingly resourceful hero. A survivor trapped with a possibly mad survivalist. That is the real source of so much of the tension. Rating: 4 out of 5

Does Episodic Content Belong in an MMORPG?

Episodic content has become a video game console mainstay in the current generation. Is there a place for it in MMORPGs? One game genre that hasnt received much of an episodic treatment is the MMORPG. The expansions endgame contentbesides the promise of future story chaptersis a bit on the slim side, though. Chapter X: Anarchy in Paradise is the expansions first story-based episode/chapter, which was released in early February. Was Chapter X worth the wait?...

Johannes Roberts interview: The Other Side Of The Door

or like gremlins and the whole dont feed them after midnight. And then… Ive always just lovedPet Sematary! [laughs] and thats what it comes down to! So a mixture of the three things really. And presumably you then put an American couple in that environment, because that then helps with their isolation? Yeah, totally, totally. Was the temple an actual location? No we built it. Yeah, I mean Sarah couldnt act her way out a paper bag so I had to force her!...

The Other Side of the Door: Alexandre Aja interview

The director of High Tension and Horns takes on producing duties for this India-based horror tale. But I cannot help myself either. I will do things such a way. But in a bigger sense, what I want is that the movie needs to be real. Thats a weird adjective, but, at the same time, it means a lot for me. For me, a movie is an experience. And if there is anything that stops me from the experience, I dont like that....

8 Actors Who Went The Extra Mile For Their Movies

Ah yes, the hollowed-out horse. The following is but a tiny sample of our favorite stories from film history. Unfortunately for the movies actors, the low budget also made for a thoroughly unpleasant four-week shoot. Marilyn Burns, the actor who plays luckless survivor Sally, had it even worse....

American Dad!: The Devil Wears A Lapel Pin Review

It arguably doesnt even need an opinionated daughter to go all saboteur on it. Sometimes just tying up your beats in a warm bow can be enough. And just in case anybody missed that, Klaus has killed three teenagers. Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Are young adult dystopia films in decline?

Its less formulaic than outright automatic. Typically, Lionsgate is still thinking about making a prequel to rectify this. Another case in whichThe Hunger Gameseludes the usual criticisms would be in its visual style. Batman and Iron Man might have certain things in common, but at least they dress differently. Plus, Peeniss is just irresistible as a ship name. Its you versus Donald Sutherland, and frankly, he doesnt know what hes on about....

Better Call Saul Post-Mortem: Michael Mando on “Gloves Off”

Note: This interview contains Better Call Saul spoilers for Gloves Off. Better Call Saulhas done a good job of proving its independence during the beginning of sophomore season. Tonights episode, Gloves Off, was arguably the seasons strongest entry. We saw Mike and Nacho fostering a deal that takes them both to some reasonably dark places. And I think its kind of that amazing thing of like when youre watching a biography....

Better Call Saul: Gloves Off Review

The means don’t always justify the ends on Better Call Saul, but they’re fascinating to watch. Here’s our review of “Gloves Off.” Do the ends justify the means? Jimmys insubordinate directorial debut unsurprisingly gets him in hot water with the Davis & Main partners. Somehow he leaves the meeting with his job in tact, but with two strikes against him. Jimmy only really starts to feel bad about his actions after Kim gets caught in the crosshairs....

The Japanese werent the only ones making giant monster movies. We owe it a lot. King Kong(1933) What can be said aboutKing Kongthat hasnt already been said? Kong himself while an overgrown ape and less a strange beast is one of cinemas iconic giant monsters. Remade poorly in 1976and decently (by Peter Jackson) in 2005. One of the best sci-fi films of the 1950s. Buy The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms/Them! Which is a lot of people....

Billions: The Punch Review

I dont know, man, roll with it. There is obnoxious drunk driver dad (Bruce Laynor), obnoxious SEC guy (Ari Spyros). And who could forget obnoxiousTrue Detectivecreep (Axes P.I. Billionshas decent enough main characters but for some reason it doesnt believe the audience will see them that way. Theyve introduced so many at this point that its had the opposite effect. This is the first Im hearing of it! How could Axe even get mad a cartoon character like that?...
