But the flaws of the movie overcome the strengths. The first hour serves as preparatory for the dramas tragic twist. Yet in over 60 minutes, we learn very little about the characters. Despite Kormakurs intent in shaping the adaptation into something realistic, the results are still rather poor. But his mountain-man-bun makes him exceptionally decorative in the drama, and a potentially great testimonial for mountain shades. Rating: 2.5 out of 5
After writing several episodes ofSpencer For Hire, they joinedBeauty and The Beastas staff writers. He was briefly involved withBuffy The Vampire SlayerandAngelbefore writing for24. Has it come more sophisticated and focused? There are simply too many choices out there. So fandom has become more of a niche enterprise. Howard Gordon:X-Fileswas absolutely, directly a formative experience in my education as a writer and a producer. I really cut my teeth on that show and discovered what was possible on television....
Events take place directly afterGround Zeroes. Here the game cleverly introduces various elements, and its much less fourth wall-breaking than the usualMetal Gearinstruction. But itsMetal Gear, we can forgive that. Its an intro thats both effective, and occasionally disturbing. There are no elaborate, overly long cut-scenes. Instead, the story is told as the game progresses through in-game dialogue and more interactive scenes. There are plenty of cut scenes throughout, but theyre all manageable in length....
Screaming was all I was doing in last nights season finale. This review contains spoilers for the season finale of Scream. After the recent death ofScreamcreator Wes Craven, it was hoped that tonights finale would be a good one. If that constitutes an episode that keeps you guessing from beginning to end, then it was indeed successful. Claustrophobia, a menacing knife, and a disturbing mask made up the ingredients for the ultimate conclusion....
We look at the rise of the stoner in film, from the 1930s to the present… The motion picture you are about to witness may startle you. Marihuana is that drug a violent narcotic an unspeakable scourge. the Real Public Enemy Number One! So reads the opening crawl to the now infamous filmReefer Madness. Originally released in 1936, it was designed as a hard-hitting expose of marijuana and its inherent dangers....
Disney Infinity 3.0addsStar Warsto an already extensive roster of characters that includes both Disney and Marvel properties. Yes, this nerdy dream is now possible. The biggest thing aboutDisney Infinity 3.0is the inclusion ofStar Warscharacters and elements. What was the process of adaptingStar WarstoDisney Infinitylike? And that would also includeStar Wars Rebelscharacters, which at the time that animated series was still under development.

Warning: contains spoilers for the Hannibal season 3 finale. Hannibal, frankly, deserved better. And hey, if thats how you feel, I can hardly argue. And the notion of Fullers take onThe Silence Of The Lambsis probably the Holy Grail for Lecter fans. Just thinking about Clarice Starling and Will Graham interacting is enough to get my heart racing. And yet, I no longer feel the need for more. Taken as they are, the three seasons ofHannibalto date tell a mostly complete, satisfying tale....
The life of Tennessee sheriff Buford Pusser spawned what may be the most unexpectedly weird franchise ever. It was violence with believable and tragic consequences. Not on TV you didnt, anyway, at least not in 1974. During his six-year tenure as sheriff, its said he survived some eight shootings and seven stabbings. The resulting film was ugly and nasty and stupidly entertaining. So the producers had a brilliant idea. Why not hire Buford Pusser himself to play Buford Pusser?...
Before The Phantom Pain, there was Metal Gear - Hideo Kojimas stealth game for the MSX2 computer. Really, its a miracle that theMetal Gearfranchise exists at all. Metal Geardesigner Hideo Kojima cut an awkward figure when he began working at Konami in 1986. Kojimas bosses, its safe to say, werent especially taken with this idea. Its a miracle that Kojima was allowed to continue withMetal Gearat all. Nevertheless, Kojima clearly persevered....
The forgotten grandfather of the third-person cover shooter? The only problem withOperation Wolfis this: it isnt exactly what youd call strategic. Your involvement in the game is essentially reduced to a pair of eyes and an itchy trigger finger. So how do you inject a bit of freedom and variety into what is essentially an electronic shooting gallery? In 1988, a young upstart of a Japanese studio called the TAD Corporation had the answer:Cabal....
Everyone loves a happy ending, but the explosive series finale that Falling Skies fans hoped for wasnt delivered. ThisFalling Skiesfinale review contains spoilers. But after a fast-paced rush job of a finale, humanitys victory felt hollow. I do like how the episode was framed, I must admit. I almost wondered if we might see a flash forward to President Matt Mason down the road. Marty died in the black hornet attack, having served his purpose....
Im a big supporter of mowing people down when the dramatis personae gets out of hand. Id say thats a pretty good excuse. Its logical story progression, though, since Nick hasnt had a fix in a while. In other words, I wanted Alicia to go face zombie Matt. This episode needed some more scares. What we do get in zombie action is courtesy of Principal Art, who I genuinely felt sorry for....
Well, Morty stopped being a damn baby. And it was a really good episode of Rick and Morty. This is a fantastic episode that takesRick and Mortys established tropes and plays with them in really fun ways. Additionally, it brings in the new premise of Rick going toe-to-toe with someone whos his intellectual equal. The Ricks Must Be Crazy does a lot of cool twisting of the series usual approach....
