Robin Williams leaves behind an eclectic, joyful body of work. But in 2002, he made three underrated gems that haunt the imagination too. For the last day, all I have been able to think about is Robin Williams. And its only downhill from there for the character. Prosky previously appeared as the big-hearted TV executive who saw Williams joyfulness so clearly inMrs. Doubtfirethat he didnt mind that Williams protagonist wanted to host a childrens show in drag....

James Gunn is not your typical figurehead for a tent pole, big budget superhero blockbuster. Rather than glamorizing the Crimson Bolts (Wilson) journey, Gunn punctuates it with indecision and psychosis. But here, aliens are strippers and interstellar planetary prisons are nudie clubs. We dont open on a superhero righting wrongs and beating evil in the most intimidating fashion. Instead, we get him moonwalking to choreographed beats while he simply has fun....

Heart-attacks, serial killers, gunshot wounds and Thalaron radiation. You name it, Alan Dales characters have been killed by it… Warning: contains spoilers for Alan Dales roles between 1985 and 2014. Listing them here would more or less defeat the object. He didnt die inThe X-Files, nor inThe West Wing. He got a little bit blown up in24andNCIS, and River Song sort of paralysed him inER. Those were his good days....

I believe it is the previous generations underrated gem. So why didAlan Wakenever quite reach the gaming heights it arguably deserves? Problem was however, this early buzz was generated for the originally intended PC exclusive. Over the following years the game shifted between a near release to quietly retreating back for additional development. In response Remedy convinced Microsoft to allow them to port the game to the original games platform of PC....

He didnt allow himself that possibility. And then he makes sense, everything clicks and you say Oh thats what happened. Thats right, exactly. It was very important though because what I did… And I understood and I say Ah ok, I know. And I said What do you mean you got caught? and he says I cannot live in a normal place anymore. I have to be in situations like this, of war, continuously because I need this adrenaline....

Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena. We saw it a decade ago, we saw it in 2012, and were seeing it again atSummerSlam. Bringing in someone part-time or for a one-shot isnt anything new. That was really the first mistake the company made with Lesnar since his return. It was a big one. Otherwise, where is the draw for another match with him down the road? Brock Lesnar broke The UndertakersWrestleManiastreak, yet what did it mean in the long run?...

The bit of Marvel Studios that everyone’s really trying to copy? The seemingly unstoppable marketing machine… Nobody is expecting that not to happen again with next yearsAvengerssequel, that Joss Whedon recently wrapped production on. Disney has another, withStar Wars, whilst Fox is playing withX-MenandFantastic Four. Universal has put a classic monsters universe into motion. Warner Bros is lining up its DC properties, even if its not naming most of them yet....

Nintendos 1986 legacy game of samurais and shurikens finally gets a release in North America. You know the pop in: yourMario,Zelda, andMetroidgames. Of course, thats not to say that the game is completely barren of things to see or do. Like us onFacebookand follow us onTwitterfor all news updates related to the world of geek.

Yeah, it really is that good. Tonights breakneck-paced episode was penned by Gennifer Hutchison, who also wrote five count them five episodes ofBreaking Bad. Now thats some nerd cred. He didnt last long either. It seemed we were to be treated to a story arc involving an average housewife turned murderess. Eph recorded the entire thing, hoping to show his bosses at CDC that this plague was real. Help may not be on the way from Nora....

This week’s True Blood has a twisty ending that leaves us guessing. Plus, Hoyt’s return has welcome surprises of its own. Almost Home?Almost Home? Which is a first in about…three or four years for this show? Well played,True Blood, well played. However, as with every seeming glass from this Asian corporation, there are imperfections to be noted to. So, to get those problems out of the way… Sadly, we probably mostly felt like looking at our collective watches....

Doctor Whohad been in trouble since at least 1985. Remembranceis Ben Aaronovichs first ever television script, and it sets out to own the show from the off. Even Keff McCullochs often-dated synths suit this story very well in places. The special effects inRemembrancehold up too, barring the Dalek shuttlecraft leaving in Part Four. This is partly because Andrew Morgan, the director, overspent on visual effects. The reasonRemembrance Of The Dalekslooks so good is because it used more money than it was allotted....

you’re free to’t judge a show by its pilot. I stood up and applauded, I loudly (startling the animals with whom I reside) yelled ROMANCE! It was a very exciting time for all parties involved. You cant ever judge a show by its pilot. Remember, the pilot isnt for you and isnt for me. It isnt even for your grandmother who tends to prefer marathons ofNCISand softly baked apple dishes....

Cinemax’s new series, The Knick, debuted tonight in grand, gore-y pageantry. ButThe Knickups the ante. Ad content continues below Everyone dies. Congratulations Cinemax;The Knicknow reigns supreme as the Grand High Poobah of televised gore. That being said, I absolutely loved the episode. History buffs will love the painstaking detail that has gone into accurately representing turn of the century New York. Anyone who enjoysBoardwalk Empirewill fall in love withThe Knick....
