Bestselling fighting gameInjustice: Gods Among Ushasnt been relevant for well over a year. Netherrealm Studios stopped creating any downloadable content for it and its status as a competitive fighter has long faded. Shockingly, theInjustice: Gods Among Uscomic tie-in is still alive and well. Which is great, because its rad as hell. This week beginsYear Threeas we get closer and closer to catching up. The games story is about a world where Superman rules the world....

Warning: contains spoilers for this weeks episodes ofThe SimpsonsandFamily Guy. Its not selling out, its co-branding. Of course, for more cynical viewers, the main takeaway will be that the death didnt matter. All of the best jokes in the episode come out of a tongue-in-cheek, self-deprecating tone. With that in mind, Groening seems to have gotten over that in time to promoteThe Simpsons Guy. Like us onFacebookand follow us onTwitterfor all news updates related to the world of geek....

In Nashville season 3, episode 2, we play who dat babys daddy? Here is our review. Did I leave anything out? OTHER OBSERVATIONS OF RANDOM MOMENTS IN THE EPISODE: I give this episode 4 out of 5 stars. The episode looses one star for the writers making Jeff into a cartoon of an asshole. Like us onFacebookand follow us onTwitterfor all news updates related to the world of geek.

Grandpa is the next Rainbow Crystal carrier in this fun episode of Sailor Moon. Yuuichirou is instantly smitten with Rei, but shes still got eyes for Mamoru. One of the reasons I love the Rainbow Crystal arc is how much is plays with formula. At this point, the rules are out the fucking window. In the red crystal episode, we saw Joe right up front before any of the civilian story started....

A woman is set on fire by a stalker. We try and catch the stalker. And maybe, deep down, we are all stalkers? Over 6 million people are stalked every year in the United States. Here is what youre getting withStalker. And just when you think shes maybe okay, the car viciously bursts into flames. And that this is going to be something crazy. And also that Dylan McDermott is back on TV!...

His love for his wife and daughter. His ability to turn just about anything into a torture equipment. Our biggest take-away from theTakenfranchise, though, is that Mills is a man of extraordinary emotional resilience. So were now two films into the Mills saga. But what else have we learned from this first bit of sound and vision from returning director Olivier Megaton? Would a monster buy his daughter a giant panda as a gift?...

Shailene Woodley deals with her vanished mom, played by Eva Green, in White Bird in a Blizzard. Here’s our review.

This month’s non-fiction film choice in the Den Of Geek book club is Paul Merton’s Silent Comedy. Here’s what Aliya made of it… Its a weird business to write a book about silent film. And surprise really is the key to a good comic moment. How, exactly, does comedy work? I suspect its another subject that could never be explained adequately on the page. Mainly, its lovely to be in the company of Paul Merton....

The idea of a Hannibal Lecter prequel was first dismissed as tired franchise-milking. Two seasons on, here’s how it proved sceptics wrong… Warning: contains spoilers forHannibalseasons one and two and the Thomas Harris novelRed Dragon. Season two had so many strong moments, its hard to know where to begin. Even obsessive fans had to admit that it was time to let the good doctor go. And yet, there remained a niggling feeling....

Are DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. positioning the Ted Kord version of Blue Beetle for TV or movie stardom? There was other precedent for this, as well. Thats exactly where he ended up. And they wasted no time in doing it. As expected, he looked great on TV. During the Jaimie Reyes ascendancy, Ted Kord was all but forgotten. Rarely mentioned, and seemingly eliminated completely when the DC Universe was rebooted in 2012....

Not that youll necessarily recognise the address its far better known as the Amityville Horror house. Basically, what Im trying to say here is that the filmmakers were of a certain pedigree. And actually, it shows on screen. Id seen this movie a handful of times before, but never really rated it. but the escalation of supernatural attacks is well-handled, and the scenes with the bickering priests are oddly brilliant....

The spoiler forDracula Untoldis marked out, so you might avoid it if you want to. I asked him how he was holding up and he replied Yeah, its quite knackering this. Yeah, I mean its been the fastest six years of my life. Well I obviously feel the pressure of taking on the role because its Dracula, you know? Was his strength of character a draw for you? Its all their fault basically!...

We look at the relationship between ABC’s Scandal and its backdrop, our nation’s capital. Fair Warning: This story contains Scandal spoilers. It is an image we have all come to know so well; a symbol of American history. In Shonda RhimesScandal, Washington D.C. is the framework for the show. It oddly played out in real life, too. As we all know during this last season, Harrison was gaining more of a backstory than ever before....
